Overcoming Adversity

In this episode, we talk about the importance of having a plan when overcoming adversity in life.  We are going to be thrown all kinds of curveballs in life that are meant to derail us ... but if we have a plan, we prepare both mentally and physically, and take the time to invest in ourselves, we can overcome anything.  We can accomplish whatever we set our minds to no matter what our brain may tell us.

You just dont know what someone has gone through to get there

Prioritization ....Where are you placing yourself on your list of priorities?

In this episode I discuss the importance of making sure that YOU are a priority and not everything and everyone else around you.  The old adage of "Place your oxygen mask on first" is foreign to a lot of people and this is something that we need to focus on because we cannot help them unless we have helped ourselves.  Recharge your batteries, Replenish your depleted mind/heart.

Are you setting yourself up for failure with your ”resolutions”?

In this episode I discuss the importance of making sure that you are setting realistic goals for the New Year rather than lofty and unrealistic ones.  Also if you are trying to fix something that you failed at in the past, remember to work on the why's that you have and try to fix those first before trying to accomplish the goal.  Working on one's self is more important than the outcome of any goal.   If you want to become a patron of the show, please visit http://www.patreon.com/liquidcoffeetalk

It‘s not about what you have in your life ... it is about HOW you live your life

Had a smart man today that talked to me about the legacy that we leave behind and the impact that we have on the world and when we are gone there is no discussions about likes, follows or money or accolades but rather what type of person that you are and how you made others feel.  This is important to remember.

Let‘s get back to loving each other and not forget to tell each other

In this episode I talk about the importance of letting those that you love and adore know how much they mean to you.  We are in a world right now that is filled with hate, division and anger and hope that one day we can get back to a resemblance of humanity and grace and love.  Are we beyond repair?  Maybe but that will not stop me from trying with my actions and leading by example.  Much love friends.
