JumpStart - The Courage to Be Happy
Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
19th century author and journalist Holbrook Jackson once wrote, “Happiness is a form of courage.”
Doing a quick definition check I find that courage means “the ability to do something that frightens one.”
Especially now, the “thing that frightens” us more than anything is LIFE, am I right?
So, it’s harder now than ever to be happy; but that’s what courage is.
As the author of 2 books on happiness, I’m going to share with you a handful of proven tips you can do to increase your happiness level.

JumpStart - The Greater Nerd Theory
Monday Jun 29, 2020
Monday Jun 29, 2020
“How do I…”
Those are the 3 most common words searched on the internet and today there is almost NOTHING you can’t learn to do by exploring the worldwide web.
In this video, I want to invite you to learn something new -- anything, from making homemade pizza to replacing the inside of a toilet. That is, presuming either of those are something you want to learn.
The key is to pick something YOU want to learn how to do and then, dive into Google, Bing, Firefox, (whatever your browser) and you’re going to be amazed at the people who have already mastered what you seek to learn.
I call them (and myself) “nerds” and we’re always here to help.
Discover how the “greater nerd theory” can help you learn to do anything AND realize that you, too, are a vital part of the Greater Nerd hierarchy.

Friday Jun 26, 2020
Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha said, “Life is suffering” and this has become a basic tenet of those who follow him.
“Life is suffering,” kind of a negative perspective, right?
Let’s explore the liberating truth behind this quote from the Buddha and, more importantly, how we can experience the pain of life, let it go, and minimize suffering.
It all comes down to what we ruminate over so join me and we’ll unpack what a cow’s stomach and your mind have in common and how to suffer less starting now.

Thursday Jun 25, 2020
What frightens, you?
We all have stuff that scares us and I’m not talking necessarily about an extreme phobia.
I’m talking about little fears that limit you; fears that keep you from living the life you desire.
Today we’re going to talk about the ONLY way to cure phobias, which is also a great way for us to begin to melt away those fears that hold us back.
If you’re ready to face and eliminate your fears, let’s get started now!

JumpStart - Your Mutation
Wednesday Jun 24, 2020
Wednesday Jun 24, 2020
6 months ago, I was feeling lonely and isolated living in a community where less than 10% of owners are full-time residents so I downloaded a dating app to my phone.
I was really nervous and uncertain but I began to open the app and view images and read the bios of women in the age range and lifestyle group I was looking for.
I wasn’t really taking the whole thing very seriously -- certainly not looking to fall in love, so I added another app, and then another, and another….
What I noticed is that most of the women said they were looking for a man with a “good sense of humor” but little do they know…
Being funny is a great attribute but it is also often spawned from having an abusive and/or neglectful childhood.
Humor is a defense mechanism that hides very real wounds.
We all have such mutations -- superpowers that also have a dark side.
Today, let’s stop focussing on the side-effects of your own mutation and begin to celebrate your superpower.

JumpStart - No There, There
Tuesday Jun 23, 2020
Tuesday Jun 23, 2020
When you apply for a job you hand (or more likely email) your prospective employer a recap of all your business accomplishments making sure that everything you did is presented in the best light.
This is natural -- it’s just putting your best foot forward.
If you, like most people, struggle with worry or anxiety then I invite you to create a very different kind of resume -- a listing of every BAD thing that’s happened to you.
Then--and this is critical, write out how you handled (or are handling) the major problem.
Writing out your own Life Challenge Resume reminds you of just how powerful, capable, supported, and resourceful you are because you’ve already faced, handled, and moved past things you thought were impossible.
And with that knowledge you realize that there’s really nothing to worry about.
Because whatever shows up, you got it!

JumpStart No There, There
Friday Jun 19, 2020
Friday Jun 19, 2020
Gertrude Stein famously said words to the effect of, “When you get there, there is no there, there.”
This saying has become so much a part of our culture that I recently heard of a band named No There There.
Have you ever heard this quote?
To me it says that when you live something you anticipate, either something you perceive to be good or you perceive to be bad, it is never quite what you expect.
Moreover, your very presence shifts the dynamic of the experience.
Today, let’s draw comfort from the fact that we change our environment and that nothing is ever as bad as we fear it might be.

JumpStart - Being Pulled
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
I realized recently that most of my life was spent in anxiety, fear, and worry because I held a negative vision of my future that drove me like mule.
Over time, I began to release my concerns when my focus shifted to being pulled forward by a future that excited rather than taunted me.
If you’re ready to drop your anxiety and worry then this JumpStart will tell you how.
It’s simple, but it’s not easy.
And I have faith in you that you can do it!

JumpStart - Anger
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Today I want to get personal and talk about this emotion that for so many years ruined my life.
Many of us his children felt our very survival threatened and as a result we have grown up as angry adults.
I thought I was a helpless victim to my own anger not realizing that I could “master the gap.“
There is a gap between an action in your reaction and if you can learn to choose a new reaction you can change your life.
Recognizing the gap is the hard part but once you do you’ll find that you have ample opportunities to make new and better choices.
