Is life like a roller coaster for you? One big hill after another with out of control speed in between and then a momentary lull just before the next out of control experience? Want to level that out? Would you like to live a life being more in the driver's seat and choose when life speeds up? Today's podcast is for you, then. Let's all get proactive.

What takes the most courage in life? Here's a deeper question: How are Autumn and spiritual retreat alike? Today's podcast has the answer.

*** Many apologies for the technical glitch in this morning's podcast! The problem has been corrected and the full episode is available.***

Are you hoping and wanting the Universe to manifest great things in your life? Well, if you're less than excited about how that's going so far, how connected are you with the Universe? That deep, spiritual connection is where we experience the power to do great things, things that we are created to do with the Universe and for the Universe to manifest through us. Today's podcast is about developing that connection.

What's holding you back? Sometimes, we are held back by significant circumstances that take a while to change and then we are free to soar. More often than not, though, we are held back by what is in between our ears. We are held back because we perceive that others will hold us back or they will criticize us for thinking more of ourselves than we should. We can shed that. We can embrace a more profound understanding of who and what we really are. Today's podcast is ready to help you soar.

While you might be able to find a plethora of religious devotionals all over the internet and at the library and newsstand, how many of those are motivational and help you decide in the morning to grab the day and make it a great one? You might also be able to find a lot of motivational quotes, memes, podcasts, books, and whatever that can get a person all cranked up with go-getter juice, but how many of those help you stay spiritually grounded? My answer to those questions a few years ago was "none." And thus, the Motivaonial Devotional was born. Check out today's podcast on motivational spirituality and see if it scratches your itch for changing your life for the better.

Do you have the means to do what you need to do? What about the means to do what you want to do? Is that the same thing? Maybe. What about the means to help others? We all have time. We all have some kind of talent and ability. When we see people who need help, hopefully, the sense of compassion kicks in but what do we do about that? Maybe today's podcast about means can offer some insight.

Do you struggle with hope in the fall when things lose their leaves, the weather turns cooler, and the days get shorter? A lot of people do. Today's podcast offers some insight into maintaining and even increasing hope so that Fall doesn't cause us to fall.

Do you see mellow people as successful people? Or, said another way, do you see successful people as being mellow? Our culture seems to push the stereotype that if you're successful, you have to be intense, and if you are being mellow, then you're being too laid back and, shall we say it, LAZY? Nothing could be further from the truth. Today's podcast is about fulfilling your dreams while also being intensely mellow. Cool.

Why do people quit too soon? Why do people get frustrated and bogged down in their goals to the point that they give up? The time it takes to realize and live into our dreams is irrelevant. If it is your dream and you 100% believe and know that the Universe put you here on this planet to live into it, then it just doesn't matter how long it takes. More than time, what it will really take is ... Relentless Intent.

What will your life be like in five years? What will you be doing professionally? What will you have accomplished? What goals will you have achieved? Note that none of these questions ask what you hope to see happen nor what you would like to see. Today's podcast is about learning to foresee your dreams and goals. Tomorrow's podcast will be about the relentless intent it takes to get there.
