It’s Time To Explore 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

Your Purpose is to Find Your PurposeThis time of year most people are setting Big Ass Goals and working on the daily baby steps it takes to achieve those goals. It’s an activity that has proven effective ever since humans figured out that we are hard-wired to seek purpose in our lives.Let’s pause for a light-hearted lecture, shall we?If you are not setting goals that excite you and establishing small habits that make them a reality, you may as well skip into a Las Vegas casino and trust that the ‘house’ has your back and is setting you up for the big win.I have news for you. That’s not their Purpose, so you better know yours.But wait?What if I don’t know my Purpose?A long time ago, I realized that it was well beyond my pay grade to know somebody else’s purpose so I began giving this advice —“If you don’t know your purpose, your purpose is to find your purpose.”As simple as it sounds, it’s amazing how freeing it can be to realize that searching for what you want is living on purpose.Psychologists define Purpose as a stable and generalized intention to accomplish something personally meaningful that simultaneously leads to productive engagement with some aspect of the world beyond the self.What could be more meaningful than happily seeking your Purpose through daily activity?Yes, maybe one day you’ll find the purpose you are seeking, or maybe, you’ve already found it. That’s something to consider, for sure. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You Were Born to Do YOUCan you imagine what might happen if you dared to think like your true self, act your true self, and share your true self? That makes you smile - right?Or maybe you feel that living from the inside out and being fully authentic with the world is self-centered, egotistical, and not how you should be.Still, I bet you’re smiling, at least a little, at the thought.You were born with two things that are yours, and you alone to use as you see fit - or not.The first is Free Will, and without digging into the spiritual and scientific reasons, no matter what happens in your life, you are always doing things YOUR way.Even if you feel that your destiny is pre-determined, you will do it YOUR way. Imagine what would happen if you choose to do the things you love and do them your way.You were also born with a Unique Ability that you don’t share with anybody else. It has always been there and will never leave you.Imagine what would happen if you were to choose to use it in everything you do.The next time you second-guess yourself, remember to ask yourself one simple question —“What do you do when you’re doing YOU?”When nobody is telling you what to do, when you’re on your own to fill your time, when you are making the rules, what do you like to do, and how do you want to do it?It’s okay to be yourself. I promise that nobody is judging you. In fact, they are most likely waiting for you to show up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stoic Rules For a Happy Life300 BC, political life was driving people crazy. To calm the masses, several schools of philosophy popped up. Stoicism still resonates powerfully today.1. Don't enslave yourself to annoying people.2. Choose reasonable expectations.3. Pre-meditate those expectations.4. You are a mind operating a bag of chemicals you call a body.5. Stop pretending you know that things are bad.6. You were put here to reason, so use it already.7. Life is NOT too short.8. Feel your emotions like a Stoic would. They are your power.9. Anger is a choice.10. When it comes down to it, we are dogs tied to the back of a cart.Sound wisdom never goes out of style. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Thriving in Modern Times. It’s Easy. I can't tell you how many times I've heard somebody say—"If I knew I would live this long, I would have cared for myself better and saved more money."True or true?Modern times are exciting, and when it comes to living a long life, people either think life is too short or long. If you do things correctly, long enough is the best answer, but 200 years ago, most folks didn't have the luxury of thinking about things like that.If you lived during those times, you lived at a slower and harder pace. And, since time is relative, your perception was also slower. Everything was slower. It would be like a two-week, off-the-grid vacation in a mountain cabin without your phone in modern times if you think about it. That used to be daily life.Yes, living to the ripe old age of 40 felt like living to 100 today - if something simple didn't take you out sooner. When California had open land, low-priced real estate, and gold in them-there-hills, almost everybody died much younger than today, usually from an exotic disease like a toothache.  If you lived a couple of centuries ago, a simple life meant simple goals:Survive childhood.Buy a horse.Get married.Buy another horse.Build your first house on your 40-year-old Grandparents' property.Get your kids through 5th grade so they can graduate to help you plow the field.And if you were a planner, plant a tree on the hill as soon as you can so that it is big enough for your kids to bury you under when a toothache takes you out.While it's easy to make fun of the old days, one thing rings true—If you lived in the past, wondering what you would do next would never be an option. Since you have that option, the question is, what are you going to do with it?

Building Your Bridge to HappinessChanging something about your life is pretty straightforward. Figure out what you want and change it.Are you done laughing?Most folks fall on the way to their dreams because they don't move, move at the wrong time, or move too fast. That's why it's time to build your bridge once you know what you want.Here's how:1) Fortify your current foundation. Save money, pay bills, and do whatever it takes to build a firm and peaceful base.2) Begin constructing the foundation for your new life. Go to school, network, research, and plan. Do everything in your power to ensure your success with no regret.3) When you're ready, leave your past behind, cut off the old, and begin living your new life. Be patient. Wait until you are at least 70% ready to succeed before you cross to the other side.  Success arrives when you move from a solid TODAY for a stronger TOMORROW. Don't leap too soon, but don't delay, either. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sometimes You Need to Be Someone ElseHave you allowed yourself to become the person you are on the inside?  We all make decisions that change our life trajectory without much thought. That can lead to feelings of being lost on your life path.Maybe it's time to create a new way of seeing yourself.Using a Transitional Identity is a great way to feel confident when you can’t believe in your future.  The trick is to focus on the smaller steps to your destination. That will allow you to move away from who you are, yet not jump to who you want to be in one big step.  “I’m running a successful small business and laying the foundation for my empire. All I have to do is keep moving.”“I’m a great student. Very soon, I will be a great teacher to others. All I have to do is keep moving.”“I’m incredible at losing 1 pound at a time. Soon, I’ll hit my goal and weigh 100 pounds. All I have to do is keep moving.”Transitional Identities are temporary and ever-changing. They are helpful when destinations are hard to see before you take your first step. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
