Ep. 158 -- THE LONG GAME (re-air)

This is one of my top uploads recently so I wanted to re-air it. With so many new listeners each week, it is great to go back and talk about the old content.

Ep. 156 -- PERCEPTION

In life, we live up to the perception that we think other people think about us. When we fall into that trap, we will never win. We will always fail because our minds will tell us we are not good enough. We HAVE to live the life we want for ourselves. We HAVE to live our life without trying to please or live up to the perceptions we create. THAT is how we win at life.

Ep. 153 -- JUST DO YOU

In this episode (more like a rant), I talk about how we will face hate and jealousy when we are working to better ourselves in this life. People will hate on our dreams and hate on our ambitions.

Ep. 139 -- COMPLAINING

In this episode I share a POWERFUL message on complaining. The idea that just complaining isn't going to solve your problems. If you complain, bring along solutions to the problem.
