I once heard the concept that everyone is one of two types of hero — either a conquering hero or a suffering hero.
The hero is always the focus of the story. Suffering heroes use their own misery to get people’s attention and make themselves the focus of whatever is happening.
Today, we talk about how to step out of pain and suffering and become a conquering hero.
I share a personal story of something that happened just the other day where I could’ve easily gone into suffering but, instead, consciously chose to be a conquering hero – – and you can too!

Don’t you just love watching blooper reels where actors or announcers flub their lines, scenery malfunctions, unexpected people walk into scenes, etc.?
They’re funny to us but many times not very funny to the people creating the gaffs.
I recently heard a social scientist say this about Facebook, “The problem with social media is that we are watching everyone else’s highlight reel while we are living our own blooper reel.“
Today, let’s talk about the pitfalls of comparing ourselves to others especially the ideal lives we presume others to be living as projected on Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Today, stop focusing on your blooper reel and let’s get real!

When I tell people I live in Key Largo Florida they often look at me with glazed eyes and mutter some variation of, “Well! It must be nice“ while rolling their eyes in mock (and sometimes real) exasperation.
Moving to the Florida Keys seems like an unattainable dream for most people – – it certainly did for me for a very long time.
In today’s JumpStart I share the true story of my good friend Rob who moved here with very little money and now lives in paradise in the lap of luxury.
The barriers to your dreams are only in your head and today we’re going to break through them together!

If you will indulge me in a bit of fan-boy geek-speak, I think Heath Ledger‘s portrayal of the Joker was phenomenal and only surpassed by Joaquin Phoenix‘s Joker.
In preparing to play the clown prince of crime, BOTH Phoenix and Ledger used the same method to create their haunting and memorable characterizations of this timeless villain.
The cool thing is, YOU can use this same method to become any character YOU want — IN REALITY.
If you’re ready to take your life to the next level, I’ll share with you the secret in today’s JumpStart.

JumpStart- A Better Strategy

If you’re anything like me, life is pretty good, but some days are fraught with irritations and setbacks.
Having counseled hundreds of people through challenges in both small and large, I finally realized that some people‘s way of handling problems is to simply get angry.
Yep, that’s their strategy and it only makes things worse.
What we need to do is develop strategies to overcome the challenges in our lives without losing our temper.
Being angry isn’t a strategy – – it’s a hinderance.
Today let’s open up to accepting things the way they are and developing plans to handle things that go wrong .
You are far more powerful and capable than you can imagine so let’s let more of the real you out!
