* No matter how much work I’ve done on myself and no matter how much I help other people, it seems the more I struggle with my self-worth. To be quite honest, I didn’t even become fully aware of this until relatively recently. In today’s episode, I explain how I came to this realization, the steps I’m taking to rectify it, and how you can do the same with any issue you’re experiencing in your life. __ __
* Have you ever left a situation in life disappointed because it didn’t live up to your expectations? I’m quite certain that any living, breathing human reading this right now will answer with a resounding yes. This week after purchasing a new car, I was reminded of a very small very important lesson; failure to set expectations in any given situation means you allow just anything to come your way. Listen to find out how I’m rectifying this situation in my own life and how you can use this lesson to be proactive in yours. * __ __
* There’s no way around it. We’re all getting older. While this is a fact of life, I don’t believe I know a single person looking forward to getting older. As you know from listening to the show, my father and I had a spotty relationship growing up. After getting together a few years ago and setting aside our differences, our relationship has never been better. However, recently we’ve received some pretty grave news about his health.

* When does it end? Does it end at all? Given the current state of the world, I hardly even have to explain what I’m talking about.

Today’s the day my friends. Today I rejoin the world better known as the iron society. As with many around the country, today marks the day our lives begin to open back up (or at least in Ohio). So how do you feel about that? For me on my first trip to the gym after re-opening, things were a bit odd to say the least. In fact, they were so odd that it simply brought up more questions than answers. On today’s episode, I pontificate on my experience and wonder how exactly we’re supposed to know what’s going on in this world. More importantly I ask, when is all the fear going to stop? __ __
* Let me tell you something: there’s possibly nothing that will test your marriage more than shopping for a house. With the unique situation Lindsay and I were in when we first got together, we never really searched for a house. It was almost as we stumbled into something out of necessity. As luck would have one day last week I started getting the subtle messages from my wife that it is indeed time to find a new place to call home. Join me today as I chronicle the start of this frustrating journey that is sure to frustrate me to no end. * __ __ * * *
