JumpStart - Values

Throughout our lives, people preach values to us: moral values, spiritual values, societal values.

End the end, our life becomes a reflection of what we value.

Yes, even the sad, difficult, parts of life are driven by our values and this is because we value, that is give importance to things that are not in our own best interest.

For example, I was repeatedly criticized and told I was bad as a child, and as a result, I went out into the world valuing relationships that supported that belief.

Our beliefs drive our values, which in turn drive our perceptions and our actions.

If you're ready to make improvements in your life, it all comes down to starting with your values...

JumpStart - Expecting the Worse

Recently, I’ve been sharing stories with you about what it’s like to begin traveling to speak again and how I’m working to make it all smoother and safer for myself.

But then something unexpected happens, what then?

As Mike Tyson so poetically put it, “Everybody’s got a plan, until they get punched in the mouth.”

The key is to expect that challenge, that struggle, that “punch in the mouth” and then you’re prepared when something happens.

Think of it this way:

* If you prepare for the worst and it happens, at least you’re prepared

* If you prepare for the worst and it doesn’t happen, you’re golden

* If you expect everything to go right for you to be happy, you’re just asking for life to “punch you in the mouth”

Start enjoying the best, by being prepped for the worst...

JumpStart - (Your) Monopoly

Decades ago in a little publication called “bits and pieces“,  I read the story of the board game monopoly.

It’s a fascinating tale about a couple who used the Law of Attraction to create a wealthy life and make a lot of people happy in the process.

But with all success stories, there were twists and turns, highs and lows, and a powerful message for us all.

Learn how you can apply these same principles to create the life of your dreams.

JumpStart - Better Responses

Hilarious, but also very true.

JumpStart - Self-Care

When you hear the term “self-care” what do you think of?

Most people envision self-care as a hot bath, a glass of wine, and some relaxing music, which can be part of self-care but there’s so much more to it.

Your whole life will improve when you experience self-care as:

* Ritualistic

* Essential

* The driving force behind your day

Today, care for the most important person in your life -- YOU...

JumpStart - HTWFAIP 9 - The Tough News About Motivation

“We’re not logical; we’re emotional, motivated by pride and vanity.” -Dale Carnegie

Ouch.  That hits pretty close to home to home, doesn’t it.

We’d like to think we’re logical in our choice of a job, a mate, a home, a car, a haircut, our hobbies, but the truth is we’re all motivated by what Carnegie calls “pride and vanity.”

And the truth is, although his words are a little harsh, he’s right.

In this JumpStart discover,

* What drives everything you (and others do)

* Why this is a good (and noble) thing

* How to appeal to your need for status to improve your life

Let’s turn that “pride and vanity” into success and collaboration…
