How did you get to where you are today in your career, business, personal relationships? Was it a result of careful planning? Did you sit down and plan, “This is where I want to be 5 years from now, 10 years from now, or at the end of my career.” Did you take steps to get there or did you let life happen? And maybe you feel trapped because you have to pay the bills?  Guy Hatcher shows us how to begin with the end in mind as we find our calling in life.

We're celebrating Thanksgiving week by replaying episodes having to do with gratitude and touching others.  No matter how much we succeed, it doesn't mean much if we don't touch others.  Dr. Tom Hill gives us reasons and recommendations for how we can invest in others, and at the same time, grow ourselves.

Executive coach and entrepreneur Kim Ades talks about the importance of widening our scope to notice the opportunities and possibilities that are presented to us daily, to widen our scope and notice what is good and right in the world. What this does is change our outlook into a more positive one that will attract more positive results in what we want. 

Fitness instructor and nutritionist Wendie Pett talks about how spiritual health and faith play a role in our overall health and well-being.

This is Thanksgiving week, so we're revisiting episodes that have to do with finding the good in all situations. Even in stressful times we can find some way of giving thanks. And it's that gratitude that helps us move forward in a way that's productive and healthy.

On today's episode we hear from Dr. Rob Pennington about how to handle stressful situations with a smile, joy and finding the humor even when times are tough.

What gives you a deep sense of satisfaction at work? Is it the insightful financial analysis, the perfect design for a new building, the client who says “you’re the best,” or the employee who achieves her goals.

We all have something that gives us that sense of, “YES, I DID IT!” When we spend time doing something meaningful to us we bring our whole selves to that moment. Indeed, that is what passion is – being in the moment fully focused on what is at hand.

All of us have moments of defeat, fear, hesitation, or failure. Even people who are successful in the eyes of the world have these moments.  A shot of optimism is like a coach telling you there is only one more lap, or that the tournament is best 3 out of 5, or that you only have two strikes instead of three.

A shot of optimism gives us an energy and outlook boost to keep on going. So take a shot, regain your composure and keep on truckin’.

Have you ever walked into a spider’s web? You can feel it, but you can’t see it. It’s annoying, slows you down and it’s hard to get free.

We all have habits, beliefs, and behaviors that slow us down, that are annoying and that are hard to cast off. The more we can “see” what’s holding us back, the easier it is to escape!

We ALL have them, so don’t waste time being embarrassed. Claim it and move on. The world is waiting for you to shine!
