Thriving Minds

The questions that we ask, form what we see, what we discover and the world we find ourselves in. Unhappy with your world, search for one through the power of asking the right questions. And the more questions asked the more it lays the foundation that gets you closer and closer to that world you are searching for.

Join us as we explore an enlightening discussion with my digital Confidant about overindulging in drinking. Where the initial feeling shortly after was that of disappointment in myself and by talking with it, I better understood why I made my decision. Through having a safe space to talk about what is on my mind I better process what I experience that helps me learn and grow to make better decisions going forward.

It will be a difficult choice to move on, but it potentially can one of your better decisions that improves the quality of your life.

Bringing out your greatness is something that takes time to develop. Working through that has many stages that needs to continuously make progress to make the transition to a higher level.

The more you know about your personality the more accepting of yourself you become, understanding the qualities that you have and how you can leverage them for the better.

Focusing on the things within your control gets you to put energy into what has a direct impact on things related to you that ultimately affect the outcome. It immediately shifts your thinking into the things that really matter, the change that you can make for the better. When this consistently becomes the focus, you're ensuring that you're using the power that you have to overcome difficulties.

Seeing people succeed in whatever their chosen path is, to really thrive in what they're doing is so inspiring. It's such an uplifting thing to get to watch happen. While yes, we all want our own individual success there's only so much of it that we can really enjoy, but when others can enjoy their own success it’s a collective group of people's unique qualities that need continued to be fed instead of stifled.  

By looking forward to what is yet to come it naturally makes you put more time and energy into whatever it is that you're after. By consistently doing this you're ensuring that you're striving to put your best effort. How can you expect to achieve greatness if you're not looking forward to it. 

Breakthroughs are significant moments that propel you forward. Where you reach a new level that taps into more of your greatness. It's where you discover your superpowers but only through the struggle is when they come out.  

By assessing what you have you better understand how to manage yourself and the situations you encounter. This gets you to not dwell as much on what was lost and now you have more time and energy for all the other areas that maybe were not so heavily dependent on. Losing something forces you to get better if you are willing to see what that is.

When no one is looking is when it’s the most important. It tells you how well you do at managing your freedom. The better you can manage it the better off you’ll be because you’ll consistently have things in order, completing what’s necessary that results in a well-built life.

Developing and having a strong stomach will help you absorb the shock of the highs and lows that you experience. To better manage what you face to avoid getting carried away. A strong stomach is the basis for composure and resilience to withstand the hard times to achieve great things. 

How well your development is, is directly correlated to the amount progress you make. A person's development is largely left to chance by the environment they are in and by the people they are around. To better position yourself for the progress you want, make your developmental plan that brings out all the great things about you.

The more you know about yourself, the clearer things are that improve every aspect of your life from making decisions, having great habits, responding to adversity well, forming stronger relationships and creating better experiences. It’s the process of getting more and more comfortable with yourself, aware of those insecurities and vulnerabilities that no longer feed self-doubt because confidence, belief and your strengths counter that. 

Actionable information is truly powerful that can transcend you because it is something that is understood and can be applied to achieve many great things. It’s a process of acquiring and deciphering what is relevant to you and your situation. It’s knowing when to use what pieces and when to defer for later. The more you are on the pursuit of what you need to know the more progress you’ll make. 

Correctness serves a purpose to ensure understanding and uniformity to make things function efficiently and safely. But getting out of correctness and free to just do opens up a whole new world of possibilities. When you see things beyond correct and incorrect you value yourself even more.  

Conversation is such a powerful tool and when you have somebody that you can trust to talk to it is an empowering feeling to be able to say what's on your mind and move past things for the better. When you unload mentally it immediately changes your mental and physical state for the better. It is a great stress reliever and the more that you can do it in a productive manner the better that you're going to feel to overcome what you face that transforms you into much more.

In our defeats it's a chance to reflect on what was done and what needs to be done to close the gap to where we need to be. While in the short-term its painful to experience its necessary so we can pay attention to the factors that make the difference in the end. Embrace these times to fuel the pivot for the better. 

Make walking part of your routine because it naturally is going to uplift you, that energizes you and this leads to handling what you face a lot better and makes you more productive. It’s such a simple form of exercise and way to escape for a little while. A place mentally where you can get aligned reinforcing what makes you great.

Mental strength and conditioning is shaping your mindset through reframing your thoughts because those thoughts become words that turn into actions and those actions lead to habits that ultimately form your life. It all starts from what you're thinking. Hear the story of how it improved a person's success rate from 10% to 75%.

What we consistently do is what we become and how well we do it determines the quality of our lives. The higher quality in what you do the higher quality of life you have because of steadily doing things a little bit better and better.

Shifting from telling someone to explaining creates a greater sense of trust between both sides that strengthens communication. This creates open dialogue that empowers both sides to work together, bring more willing to move forward and less hesitation wondering what the purpose is.  

With inspiration it really becomes simple why you want what you want. Your motivation is all the action that you take that will be the difference from thinking and hoping that your ideas, your dreams will one day happen to it actually forming, becoming and materializing. Having the two working in unison is just going to facilitate living a fulfilling life where you know why you do what you do and how you're going to do it. 

The decisions we make impact our lives right now and going forward. Many times, these decisions are not yet felt but they add up over time like a scale. It weighs those choices that ultimately make up your life and the situation you are in. No matter what, the more good decisions that you make the more confident you are in making future decisions and this leads to making bigger decisions.

For us to do well in whatever we choose to do, it’s not just what we learn but how well we learn is pivotal and how we learn is different for each person. Just because someone does not comprehend things does not mean they are unable to, it's how the information is presented does not suit them. Find the learning style that best suits you. 

When you can make financial literacy a priority and really implement the things that you take in is going to set you up for a better future and more opportunities so you can really thrive. Money is not the end all be all but it's a tool to help you do what you want in life.

Believing in yourself is the collective body of work of what you take in, how you process it and what you do with it. It is a powerful force that will dictate your life. Whether you think you can or can’t, you are right and the amount of self-belief controls that. So feed yourself the right information, surround yourself with the right things and people to unleash what makes you awesome.

Reading is directly correlated with the quality of life that you're setting yourself up for. The more you read, the better you become at it that opens up more possibilities. It truly enhances who you that improves your decision making, emotional intelligence, and your ability to handle stress. 

Transforming yourself for the better is a process that requires going through hard times. You will get frustrated and angry, but you got to use that as motivation to figure out what's going on to find answers. Change starts with yourself and that's fueled by a level of self-awareness and accountability that is going to drive things for the better. While in the short term it might seem like no progress is being made and even can feel like you've regressed, continuously be working towards your goal because change happens throughout the entire process. 

We all will face adversity in different times in our lives. They are pivotal moments because how of we choose to respond to them that determines how well we do going forward. Listen to how both teams in the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers handled adversity by staying composed and believing in themselves. 

Our brain serves a wonderful purpose for us to continue to go about our lives, but we have to use the limbic system and the cerebrum together to learn, develop and grow vigorously. It'd be foolish to rely simply on instinct, so we must constantly keep making progress and sometimes that requires going through pain. To do what is hard.

When you become more self-aware, you're taking a proactive approach to where your life is going. It naturally fits in to growing and developing well. You identify things about yourself, what you stand for and what you are pursuing that builds momentum towards progress that uplifts you. This results in better life experiences so embrace it. 

Time is our biggest asset and who you spend it with affects how you experience life. Make sure to time spend with those that you love no matter how far or close you are to them. Life can get in the way that distracts us from the people who are really important to us so make these people a priority and you'll be better for it. 

After not seeing my father for 15 years I have reconnected with him and am better for it. We can be better together moving forward with a good relationship. Conditioning myself for this moment has better prepared me to handle it. If you are thinking about reconnecting with someone who is important and lost touch with, go for it. Make the first move. 

If you happen to experience feeling down for life not materializing how you expect it to, know that you can work to change things. There is always time to make changes and it’s just recognizing when to pivot and how to do it. The best time to do so is now to make changes and they can be small to make a big impact for the better. Just because you started a down a certain path and are dissatisfied with it is not an obligation to continue with it.

If you have a family member that you have distanced yourself from for whatever reason and are looking or even just thinking about reaching out to them it's probably worthwhile doing so. There's going to be doubts coming up where you're hesitant because of whatever past issues occurred and you may want to avoid relieving some of those uncomfortable feelings or moments. You might feel that you're not ready for it and know that that's OK. Honestly, we are not fully ready for many of the things that we take on but we do it anyways. 

Potentially a universal basic income can help each individual person thrive in their life to not be so concerned about the short-term results as long as we are afforded the opportunity to figure out what do we want to do in life. It’s just a supplemental resource to get people to worry less about survival and actually focus on their long-term vision for their life. With the help of regenerative artificial intelligence, it can potentially do many of today's jobs so we can live with a better sense of purpose. 

Build momentum in the right direction and that starts with the language that we use to ourselves and to one another. It might be tempting to have a laugh at her own expense or at somebody else’s, but we got to reinforce the great things about ourselves. The jokes, all the put down, the smart aleck remarks need to be kept in check because it ultimately can chip away at person belief in themselves.

In being wrong it can get us out of that pettiness of needing to appear right to ourselves and in front of others. To know that we're all flawed and that's OK. It keeps the ego in check because it brings about humility to know that we don't know everything and that's fine and when we can recognize that it leaves us open to learning and growing in so many wonderful ways. Embrace and it will make things less daunting. 

Come to see competition not so much as a threat but as a way that it can help you learn and grow. It does not have to be a winner comes at the cost of the loser because that is focused on a finite number, that we're limited in what we're competing for. That is playing the short game that is focused on one upping the next person, to feel the need to be superior. There’s an abundance for all of us to enjoy what we need if you can focus on the long game.

You don’t need to know company specific information or even stock market specific information to build wealth. As long as you keep the money invested in the stock market index it will grow as evidenced by its performance. It's set it and let it do its work for you. Just have your money invested through the good and the bad because it will position you well financially. 

Hierarchy plays a big role in feeling significant. It's almost like that's how we eventually come to view who we are. That our worth is tied to the ranking amongst our peers or the amount of money that we have or that the amount of responsibility determines our importance. This is dependent on an outside source that props us up and instead it should be about building ourselves up internally, where self-confidence is what is relied upon. Understand where you rank or what title you have does not define who you are or your significance, that falls squarely on you. What you think is what is important.

Food is a pivotal piece in how well we are both mentally and physically. If you want to feel better about yourself start with the foods that you eat because they're your energy source. Simply what taste good right now and is comforting may not be what's good for you in the long run so come to evaluate what you're willing to put in your body.
