It seems a lot of folks these days are just unmotivated to accomplish or even attempt much at all. They don't work on their health, their success, their life, nothing. They give up at the first little problem they face. Meanwhile there exists folks who are high achievers who will accomplish their goals at all costs. Today I attempt to figure out if this difference is nature or nurture.

I ask a tough question today; "What do you want life to look like?" "Is the current state of life how we want it to be or even how its suppose to be?" To answer these questions I shared one of favorite Harrison-ism's! A quote I originated over 10 years ago. "In every area of life, sprint toward chaos. For this is the path of least resistance to exponential growth." LET ME KNOW how you think life should be looking!

Why are we so divided about the silliest, pettiest things these days? Do we not see that we have more in common than we have that divides us? Maybe this thought experiment can help resolve some of this misplaced energy and help create some Harmony and Unity. Allowing us to focus on bigger, better problems and priorities.

"You've changed bro!" "Actually, I am just more me than ever. You haven't changed at all in years and that is way worse." Today we talk about the value of Knowing Thyself. Knowing your purpose and passions and living a life of meaning!

The world has it so backwards these days! We justify the people who support our weaknesses and treat the people that try to stop our self destructive behaviors like assholes!

One of the biggest things holding us back as individuals and as a society is that many prefer Beautiful Lies over Ugly Truths. Today I talk about why that is a path to self destruction and misery!

The most successful people in the world, in every industry, all share this trait! As above so below, this same trait that sets apart the uber successful people of the world can benefit everyday folks just like us!

Here are some key take aways from today's lesson! 1. "The past is to be learned from, not lived in." - HDS 2. Stop doing things you hate, start doing (life affirming) things you are afraid of. 3. The ingredients of successful change are: Consistency, Intention, and Intensity!

Do you care too much what others think? What is the cost of your loyalty and convictions? Let's explore these ideas today!

Hard times create Strong Men, Strong Men create Good Times, Good Times create Soft Men, Soft Men create Hard Times, and the cycle repeats. We need to CREATE struggle to keep ourselves as Strong Men so that we do not create Hard times that 1. we are not ready for and 2. we may never recover from. This one gets deep yall! But never fret, HDS has the Wellness Solutions we all need!

Some people get labeled as "Overachievers" these days but I am curious if they are actually over achieving OR if the standards are just pathetically low and most "Overachievers" are really "average achievers" or "under achievers" being critiqued by "NO Achievers" Let's' dive in!!!

Today we mull over if we would rather live in an Experiment or live our own Experience!

Do you think it is better to add value or coast by on other people's value? It may seem like a silly question on the surface but sadly, many people choose to coast on through life mostly off the efforts of others. It should come as no surprise then that our society at large has become more dependent and needy. but what if we got back to an older way of things, where your Name and your Word was all you had. You had to be able to have a wide array of basic skills and knowledge to survive. It may seem a little unnecessary in modern times but it actually is more important than ever! Tune in to learn more!

Ohh, this will be a fun one. Has anyone else noticed all the random, out of place laughter lately? I mean people just laughing in the middle of conversations when no one said anything funny and nothing funny happened?
