JumpStart - Salutation to the Dawn

Tuesday Jul 07, 2020

Nearly 5000 years ago, a Hindu poet named Kalidasa wrote a poem that has touched lives ever since.

It’s called “Salutation to the Dawn”....

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
— — The bliss of growth;
— — The glory of action;
— — The splendor of achievement;
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!

Today, let’s look well on what lies before us rather than regret what’s behind us or fear what’s before us because today holds everything.

JumpStart - New Beginnings

Monday Jul 06, 2020

When I was a kid, my mom gave me a little unfinished statue of a boy and on the base was carved, “Be patient, God isn’t finished with me yet.”

To this day, I think of that statue and the unfinished nature of our lives.

Life is always evolving and because life is evolving we can choose new beginnings at any time.

Where do you wish you could start over?

Now, HOW can you begin to start over? (good question)

You have the capacity to begin again and enjoy a new outcome.

JumpStart - The Price of Freedom

Friday Jul 03, 2020

Bishop Desmond Tutu was said, “Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom” and truer words were never spoken.

Once we have something so precious as freedom, it takes each of us keeping watch over her such that she is healthy and shelters us all.

Now more than ever, we vote with our actions so choose to be a modern day patriot -- someone who guards what is good for EVERYONE in our society.

Today, let’s give thanks for freedom and own our part in keeping ourselves and others free.

Rocky had Mickie, Luke Sykwalker had Yoda, Rip Torn played coach Patrick O'Houlihan in “Dodgeball,” and Cheech Marin coached Kevin Costner in “Tin Cup.”

Wherever you find a successful person, you find a coach and today I’m going to share with you news about my EXCITING new coaching program.

JumpStart - Gunnysacking

Wednesday Jul 01, 2020

Ever had someone just explode their wrath upon you?

I remember once having my skin verbally flayed from my body by a coworker who had, up until that point, never spoken to me above a well-modulated tone.

People typically blow up when they’ve done what’s called “gunnysacking” (not addressing problems while feeling the weight of their resentment.)

Then, suddenly the bag gets upended and dumped on your head in hurtful words and angry tones.

If we can improve communication with our friends, family, and coworkers, we can avoid gunnysacking and, instead, handle things as they come along and before they become a crushing weight.

It all starts with neutral information delivered with neutral energy.

Learn how you can do this starting today.

JumpStart - The Courage to Be Happy

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

“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.

JumpStart - Suffering

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.

JumpStart - Phobias

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

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.
