EP 93- Jeff Brekken: Enjoy the Journey of Your Authentic Life
Life is interesting in many ways. In our 20s, we spend it chasing what we think we need to be, who we need to be, lusting for the things of this earth. Materialism and frivolity run hand in hand and then in our 30s, there's a subtle calm that comes. It's indicative of comfort, and in some perceptions, settling.
In our 40s, we have experience from the last 20 years and realize we spent many minutes, hours, days, and years running away from who we truly were this whole time.
Looking at a tape measure and estimating the average life expectancy of around 83 years old, we rip away 40 years from that and then reality sets in. Our lives are half over. We have unfinished business. Our minds start to wander in regret, and sometimes cherishing better times in our lives, and then a loud siren goes off alerting us to the fleeting time left on our clocks.
This week, Jeff does a deep solo dive on how life is a journey. Everything that has happened since the moment we arrived was ordained and like a song, the experiences we have, the people we've met, the challenges we've faced, and the successes we've enjoyed can be synced to a symphony.
What You'll Learn:
Why it's important to enjoy the journey you're on
How comparison drains the human spirit and how to cycle out and into something more positive
Simple steps you can take and things you can do to get aligned with gratitude for everything in your life
How to cultivate authenticity in your life
Why it's important to constantly develop yourself over the course of your life
Favorite Quote:
"Be present every day. Put your phone down in conversations. Don't look around. Look people in the eye and literally just be present. It's just you and that person there. It will absolutely turn your life around."
-Jeff Brekken
How To Get Involved:
Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out. In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for the next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions & Rise Above HR/ Recruiting on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
