The Zealous Disposition Podcast

The first step in R.E.S.E.T. is Read.  Start with reading something you enjoy…something new…something that peaks your interest for 15 minutes each day.  And if possible, use a paper based product.  If not, set your device to “Do Not Disturb” and enjoy your get-away time. So while you wait for the next step of R.E.S.E.T to be posted…get your read on and visit the website to let us know what book you’re reading. 

Sometimes we need a RESET. A RESET is a process taken to get things back to normal…a process to stop whatever is causing a hiccup in the normal way of operating.  That hiccup is an unwanted process that keeps playing on loop just like the spinning wheel when a webpage is trying to load. In the next 5 episodes we will breakdown these 5 letters of this very simplistic…basic process of R.E.S.E.T.

Exclusive interview with the author of the book titled Direction, Mr. Philip Bailey - Have you ever met someone that every time you saw them or spoke to them they were moving forward with something? They had a desire to lead…to do better…to be an example worth following…to transcend all. Well, I have and today we will be talking with one of those persons.

The words we hear and use can direct our steps and outlook. In the Defining Moment Series, certain words are identified and then defined. Antonym may be provided or Synonyms may be provided…in some case we may even do both. Which ever is provided, you will be afforded a new focal point. Today’s identified word is WORRY.

Part 3 of an informal 3 part series centered around goals. Part 1 was Baby Steps, Part 2 was Map it Out, and now we wrap it up by getting someone else's perspective on Goals and Goal Setting.

Writing down the steps towards your goals can make a big impact. Listen as Zac relates Dora the Explorer to mapping things out.

This episode centers around diamonds. Zac shares how diamonds are made, some of the uses of diamonds, and then wraps it up with some meaningful thoughts.

Zac tells what’s been going own during his pause in producing podcast episodes. He explains how he had to change the way he edits and records episodes due to a re-evaluation of the entire process. By using a pause…not a stop…we may be able to recharge and reignite that flame we once had for our craft. If you need to, take time to pause then unpause and press forward.

A fictional story is shared about a contractor visiting a town and a nail that loses its place. Zac ends the story with a quick message but listeners may hear other messages. What did you get from the story?

Sometimes we have to be taken out from our normal view and what we're use to get a different point of view on things. It will be a little nerve wrecking but it's part of the learning process. It helps us appreciate what we have and it gives us a new tool to add to the toolbox. We were put a difficult situation and made it through…now when a similar stressful situation pops up, we can handle it base on previous experiences.

Our diets and lifestyles has to complement each other. A healthy diet complements a healthy lifestyle. You can’t take in junk and expect to be healthy or expect to perform at optimum levels.

Have you ever felt like you were running a race all by yourself? Feeling like you couldn't go any further? We have people around us that will be there for us. We just have to let go of our pride, humble ourselves, and reach out to them. Listen as the description of a 5K course is related to life.
