Your Intentions Aug 02, 2018

Show notes

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about intentions.

I’ve come to realize that while intentions are important – the ultimate goal is to move from intentions to action.

We often intend to do so many things, whether it’s about our finances, our career, our relationships, but we failed to realize is that not every intention is worthwhile. Unless we commit to our intentions and actually take action, our intentions sometimes mean nothing. Though having intentions are important, it is not equally as important when you really act on it.

In this latest podcast episode, I explore the value of intentions and the role it plays in each area of our lives. I’m also challenging you to do a “gut check” on whether your intentions can be defined as “authentic” or “inauthentic”.

Alice Smith Jul 24, 2018

Show notes

This episode is dedicated to my mom, Alice Smith. I'm sharing the top 5 life lessons I learned from her as we celebrate her life.

Alice Lear Smith July 16, 1942 – July 20, 2018

Alice Lear (Rock) Smith is the oldest of four children to Violia Frances Windborne and James Jacob Rock of Woodford, VA. She was born July 16, 1942 in Washington, DC. She was her high school valedictorian, received her Associates Degree from Northern Virginia Community College and her BA from Potomac College, majoring in accounting.

She was married to Elbert Allen Smith for 56 years, and raised two fiercely independent daughters.

She loved her co-workers from PSI, Del-Tech, Stafford University, and the City of Bowie.

Alice loved to travel. Paris, London, cruises to the Mediterranean, Hawaii, and Aruba were a few of her destinations.

In her mid-twenties, she spent decades as a member of a bowling league, then in her 50’s became a member of the Women of Whist, where card playing was serious business.

She was preceded in death by one brother, James Rock. She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Elbert Allen Smith, her two daughters Sandra Gammons (Charles Gammons) and Doreen Rainey (Reginald Rainey), her two grandsons, Shemuel and Jakob; a granddog Monte, and her partner in crime, her caregiver for the past two years, and dedicated sister-in-law, Nevada Smith.

I would love to hear from you! What lesson resonated with you the most, or what life lesson have you learned from your mom or mother figure?

The A-Ha Moment Myth May 23, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever experienced the A-ha moment?

Surely, yes!

But the question is, what did you do after that?

More often than not, we experience the A-ha moment when reading books, listening to inspirational talks, or even listening to podcasts. But that moment may just pass by in a snap of a finger if we don’t do anything beyond that.

This episode talks about the four stages of a real breakthrough:

The A-ha Moment
Head Knowledge Phase
Heart and Soul Belief
and the Real Breakthrough

You can only experience true transformation if you complete these four steps which greatly involve discipline, consistency, and faith. Moving from one step to another brings you closer to your goals and desires.

This episode reveals what a real breakthrough truly means and what secrets lay on the other side of the A-ha moment.

The F Word May 15, 2018

Show notes

This week, it’s all about the F word! In previous episodes, I’ve talked about “Fear”. We’ve looked at how it influences our life choices, our actions, and our mindset. However, on this episode, we are talking about a different F word! Is it Fun? Is it Faith? Or is it something greater? In looking at this F word, I examine the different ways people define it, treat it and experience it. We hear the F word a lot, but now is the time to truly understand its meaning. Find your own definition to this F word as it relates to your:

Career/Business
Finances
Family
Health & Wellness
Lifestyle
Friendship
Personal Development
Spiritual Life

So, the challenge today is to set aside time and really think about what this word means for you.

Listen to this episode and discover what the F word is!

Choosing AND May 08, 2018

Show notes

Where are you in your life right now? Your mindset plays a vital role in leading you to the life you have today. So if you think that your life is just a result of an uncontrollable fate, then, think again.

This episode is all about managing your mindset in order to experience a fundamental change in your life. What you do daily results to a positive and optimistic mindset that allows you to live the life you desire.

We are often made to believe that we only have one choice, that we are obliged to give up something just to keep something else, and that we are not allowed to have all the options. This is not true.

Remember, you don’t need to live in the land of OR where you need to choose one over the other. If you want both, then have them both. How? By choosing AND.

Quotes:

“Your mindset isn’t so much determined by what you say but by what you do” - @DoreenRainey
“Where you are right now is a result of your mindset” - @DoreenRainey
“I began to shift all of my OR to AND, and something amazing happened” - @DoreenRainey
"When you begin to ask questions in your life by choosing AND, it opens up a whole new view" - @DoreenRainey
