Being your most authentic self and caring less about what others think of us can do SO much for your life.  Even the famous Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius noticed the same tendency we have to give more weight to what other people think about us than what we think of ourselves.  In this episode, I talk about what caring less about the opinions of others can do for our lives and how we should live up to our full potential and use the gifts we've been given out of gratitude instead of out of the need to feel more worthy in the eyes of others. -  The last song in this episode is "Here Tonight" by Sam Burchfield.  Feel free to check him out on YouTube : )

Keep in touch with the people that love you.  It's probably as healthy for you as dark chocolate and when you combine the two, well...you'll either have a lovely time sharing with your friend or you'll be fighting with your friend over the last square of chocolate.  Moral of the story: keep copious amounts of chocolate on hand at all times.  -  I love the song that ends each episode.  You can find the truly awesome music video on Youtube.  Just look for "Here Tonight" by my friend, Sam Burchfield. 

I feel like having true friends is a basic human need.  They add so immeasurably much to our lives and it can be kind of hard to make it through this life without them.  So even if you don't have any right now, it's definitely worth the risk of starting fresh and giving that type of relationship another chance in your life.  : )  -  I love the song that ends each episode.  You can find the truly awesome music video on Youtube.  Just look for "Here Tonight" by my friend, Sam Burchfield. 

I think takings steps backwards in life, or rather what others might see as taking steps backwards in your life is WAY underrated.  Taking some steps back can give you just the chance you need to point you in a new direction and set you on a path to living a life you fall more deeply in love with every day!  -  I love the song that ends each episode.  You can find the truly awesome music video on Youtube.  Just look for "Here Tonight" by Sam Burchfield. 

Mistakes or learning opportunities?  Same difference.  Mistakes are simply opportunities to move forward more gracefully the next time. -  I love the song that ends each episode.  You can find the truly awesome music video on Youtube.  Just look for "Here Tonight" by Sam Burchfield. 

While learning from the success of others is important, there comes a point where the time you spend reading about their success becomes the time you should be getting out there and creating your own.  Alexander the Great had a pretty good mentor, a guy by the name of Aristotle.  But the man was not made by his mentor.  The man was made by his action.  He didn't just know what to do, he put what he knew to use.  He took the field, engaged with fear and risk, and he won.  You can't taste victory if you never take the field in the first place.  -  I love the song that ends each episode.  You can find the truly awesome music video on Youtube.  Just look for "Here Tonight" by Sam Burchfield.
