Are Your Friends Holding You Back?The success and happiness that you have in your life is a direct result of something your Mom was always asking -Who are your friends?If they are positive, you will be positive. Are they negative? You will be negative. If they have money, you will have money. Are they broke? You get my point.Your life will inevitably mirror those closest to you. But remember, you have the power to choose who these people are. Choose wisely, and you'll be on the path to success and happiness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Success at The Highest LevelNo matter what your goals in life are, you are likely striving to be the best at something.Whether it's the best Mom or Dad, excelling in your career, or winning at the game or sport of your choice. Being the best always comes down to:1) Do what you love and are good at naturally. You'll have the edge over others. Stay in your wheelhouse.2) Commit your focus to mastery. Being a Jack-of-all-trades will not work. Specialists always win over generalists.3) Spend more time doing than learning. There's a significant difference between knowledge and wisdom. It's the experience gained from doing that truly matters. 4) Hire a Coach. When you're at the top of your game, working with your Coach will take you from second place to first.5) Keep going until you get what you want. Never stop, and never make excuses. It was your idea to pursue your path. Enjoy the privilege of being able to make that choice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hierarchy of Your NeedsYour best life is built sequentially, one level at a time. Forget the elevator. Climb all the stairs to the top, and you’ll have lasting success.In 1954, Abraham Maslow released Motivation and Personality. His Hierarchy of needs theory is all about climbing to the top.Maslow suggested that to reach your full potential:1) You must provide for your physiological needs. Food, clothing, shelter, money, and more.  2) You must feel safe. Personally, emotionally, financially, health and well-being, and against accidents and illness.3) Socially, you need to feel love and belonging. 4) Esteem and the desire for acceptance, respect, and value by others is your next step. Self-actualization requires mastery of your previous needs. Maslow said, “What a man can be, he must be.”5) Self-transcendence removes you from your ego and begins your focus on the greater good.Your best life is built sequentially, one level at a time.

Daily Awareness DiaryOver the last few months, you’ve heard me mention my prompted Daily Awareness Diary and the fantastic results it’s getting for my Face Your Passion coaching members. I thought I would share the template we’re using.Before I begin, I want you to understand that this process is about becoming aware of your present life and using that awareness to have more passion and purpose.The prompted format is intended to produce consistent information you can mine later to learn more about yourself. If you need more information on how to use this template, listen to today’s Daily Boost Podcast. Here are the prompts we answer every day:How was yesterday through the lens of RetrospectionHow was yesterday through the lens of ProspectionHow do I want to feel?What am I praying forWho am I praying for?Who do I want to connect with? What are the Pre-Planned Responses I need today?What’s my Conclusion as I finish today’s diary?What Personal Affirmation can I create from today’s diary?

Exploring What’s PossibleI’ve spent the last couple of days saying things like —“What do you do when you are doing you, and your purpose is to find your purpose?”Now, I realize that something so simple is also something most people will ignore. I also realized that for some people, as soon they begin reading and realize they’ve already heard it, tune out and open the next email. That’s unfortunate.Studies have long ago proven that repetition is the Mother of all skills. Yes, it takes time to learn new things and master them. But getting a new skill is not the value of repetition — it’s the doors it opens.When you opened my email yesterday, you were a different person than now. And tomorrow you will be different than you will be by the end of the week.As you explore your day, you’ll figure out what doesn’t work, lock in what does, and update your worldview. You will see things differently.The wisdom you collect will transform your personality as you explore your life and you will begin becoming the person you are meant to be.Of course, this should be no surprise since you’ve been doing it your entire life. But what if you purposefully did it every day?What if you chose to purposefully explore all the possibilities of your life in hope that it will lead to your destination?What if you explored the possibilities with full faith and trust that you are following your path, the correct path, and the one that will lead you to everything you desire?It’s not a what IF. It’s what IS. It’s your choice to make that happen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Standing In Cement?If you’re going to drive across a bridge, it’s best if there is a solid foundation on both sides. The same happens when crossing a symbolic bridge to the next chapter in your life. Having a solid foundation on both sides is the goal. But what happens when you get stuck in your foundation before you cross? It’s common for folks to build such a solid foundation in their current life that it becomes difficult to move forward. You are stuck in your comfort zone.If you’re happy, the bills are paid, and everything is okay - what’s the incentive to shake things up?Well -The only way to live the life you’ve always wanted is to believe in your WHY and take your first step as soon as you can see the other side.Yes, it can be scary. However, staying where you are for the rest of your life is also scary.Keep what you have and get what you want. That’s the goal.   Learn more about your ad choices.
