Coffee With Dad

We are all familiar with the four seasons; spring, summer, fall and winter. And beyond that there are other seasons, for example, growing seasons. I’m sure you can think of a few more. On this episode I’d like to talk with you about the seasons of our life. Specifically how we can understand them better as we get older and gain the ability to grow and mature successfully.

We hear these two words often today. And I’d like to ask you a question - a question I remember my 6th grade teacher asking me. What is the difference between these two words? Knowing the answer to that question can clear a lot of the barriers that can come between you and success. Let’s have a cup and talk about that today.

Here’s a question you often hear people ask- why am I here? What’s the meaning of life? Here’s a better question - what is the meaning IN life? Instead of trying to look down the road to someday’s potential happiness, what I’d like you to think about today over your fresh cup ‘o joe, is to consider the joy that is right in front of you today- in THIS moment. Let’s talk….

The song goes “haters are gonna hate.” We all will have them at some point in our life. It’s how we handle them that will define who we are and who they are. Today, pour a nice cup of joe and listen to some ways we can effectively deal with those who hate us. It all comes down to who we listen to. 

In today’s episode we talk about the difficult things. Things in life that we don’t often want to do or want to face. Have you ever thought about what it take to change your mindset to a point where you would actually embrace the difficult things? What does it take to “squeeze the weakness” out of your body? Let’s talk about that today over a cup of your favorite hot beverage.

There is a concept that states we all have a masterpiece within us. It’s the one unique thing that reveals itself to the world over the course of our life that represents the best sum total of who we are as a person and makes the world better for you having been there.  But we often don’t understand the process in which that happens. Is it something that is ‘forced’ out of you or is it something that just happens along the way if we have the skills to recognize it. That’s what I’d like to talk with you about in today’s podcast.    

There are two things that overcome many of the problems you face in life nearly every day. It’s perseverance and persistence. But did you know that there is a difference between the two? When you understand this, it will provide a complete picture of how the two work together to help you navigate past the obstacles.
