“Here…this is yours.” My dad said handing Me the keys to my latest new car.
Then he said what he always said whenever he gave me something, “you don't deserve it.”
That feeling of not deserving what I want has been a real millstone around my neck for most of my life.
I was thinking about this the other day and I looked up the word deserving.
I was surprised at what I found.
If you ever struggle with feeling you deserve good things in your life, then I'm going to share with you some ways to realize your true value.
Remember, anything you desire, you deserve…

Yesterday, I had the good fortune to sit down and talk with an old friend I haven't seen in decades.
Each of us had kept up with some people we knew but neither one of us knew the full story of our other friends and so we shared the details we had.
It was interesting to hear how my friends' lives had taken twists and turns and how often they, like me, have had to start over again at Square One.
We think that starting over is an indication of failure when in reality it is a supreme opportunity.
If you find yourself at a crossroads right now open (and who doesn't), then let's celebrate starting over on day one.

The other day I was talking to someone about jealousy and I was using the word “envy” as a synonym for “jealous.”
My friend said that envy and jealousy are not the same.
He explained that jealousy can actually drive a person forward to achieve and to obtain what they want.
Envy, on the other hand, envy is more like coveting and does nothing but make us feel bad.
Jealousy says, “I want what you have!”
Envy says, “How dare you have what I want?”
If you’re ready to start using jealousy as a motivator rather than being stuck in your tracks by envy, let’s help you get started now…

Did you know that long before he got into martial arts, Bruce Lee was a childhood movie star?
Not only that, Bruce Lee was a street thug who walked around picking fights who only got into martial arts after taking on some victims who were strong enough to fight back.
Part of Lee’s training was a super-close form of fighting where combatants square off just inches from one other and attempt to slap one another while also trying to block their opponent's slaps.
It was during this training that Bruce Lee learned the most vital lesson of his life.
Do you feel like you’re getting slapped down by life?
In this JumpStart, I’ll teach you how to deal with life’s slaps so that they become less frequent and also hurt less.
Here’s a hint: when you put a “d” in front of “anger”, you get DANGER!

There’s a wonderful moment in Hamilton, where the Skyler sisters sing a song, and in the middle, they shout “rewind” and the stage itself slowly spins like a record album in reverse.
The characters all end up momentarily back in the past where they relive a previous scene from the musical but with a very different outcome.
This scene is a powerful reminder that we all have things we’ve done in the past we’d like to revisit -- sometimes to enjoy but more often in a desire to correct something we’ve done.
Wayne Dyer put it so well when he said “Life doesn’t come with a rewind button” and if that’s the case, we can only make the past better by making the present the best it can be.
Here’s how…

Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to be grateful but it’s so easy to complain?
It has to do with Behavioral Economics which states that human beings value loss more than gain.
It’s a weird quirk we all have and you see it easily in kids.
A child will totally ignore an old, broken toy but as soon as you attempt to throw it out the child has a fit promising to play with the toy every day.
This is why we adults struggle to appreciate what we have and that means OURSELVES.
Learning that we all have this tendency to diminish gain and amplify loss can help us overcome it so that we begin to live a life of gratitude rather than discontent…

Wayne Dyer wisely pointed out that “forgiving” should be two words because forgiveness is “for giving.”
Forgiveness is a vital step toward health and happiness and yet forgiveness is often misunderstood.
Learn to more easily forgive yourself and others when you remember that forgiveness:
* Is an internal practice (not external)
* Forgiveness is a vitamin (not a vaccine)
* Forgiveness is for us (not the other person)
Discover how forgiving others is often the best way to go to sleep and wake up feeling happy and refreshed…

My daughter and I were recently at Universal Studios in Orlando and, WOW, it’s Harry Potter everywhere!
The number one thing you see are magic wands for sale.
Not being a big H.P. fan, I didn’t realize all the backstory behind the wands and how to select one but we purchased wands for both my daughter and son-in-law.
Wouldn’t it be cool if you had a magic wand?
What would you do with it?
What would you change?
If you’re ready for a little magic in your life, let’s get started now.
Abracadabra…
