Love Notes for Life Podcast

Ahh yes. The strength, recovery, and adaptation (SRA) curve of athletic training, which describes the process by which an appropriate training stimulus influences positive growth. However, when we try to live life at full send without any preparation whatsoever then we tend to stumble. Nevertheless, an alternative approach exists when we acknowledge where we stand in life against where we'd like to head towards. So, in today's episode I talk story about how we can re-apply the SRA curve to our biggest dreams and ambitions without sacrificing reality. Remember, we move forward only when we can accept the present and by building up from the past. I hope you all enjoy this latest episode and as always, thank you all for the support!

Ah yes. New Year's resolutions. I love them, but they can bring about disappointment if they're overly ambitious. So, how about this. For this New Year, I'm settling for less and having low expectations. I mean, life would be straightforward, safe, and highly predictable. Of course, I'm just kidding. But is safety better than getting hurt from taking risks? In today's episode, I discuss the downsides of low expectations and how we can lean on faith, hope, and action to direct our lives toward a positive outcome.

How do you define a home? Is it merely just four walls and a roof? Or can it represent something more? In today's episode we close out 2023 by talking story, connecting with my roots from Hawaii, being Filipino American, and keeping cultural traditions alive.

Thank you all for the support and I wish you all a Happy New Year filled with many more memories, opportunities for growth, and most of all, love notes to share with your family and friends.

A hui hou.

If money wasn't an object, would you change anything? Our financial endeavors are an essential driver towards success. Yet, sometimes, our monetary ambitions can tempt us to act out of character. So what if we took out the variable of money. Would we act any differently? In essence, would we still be driven to seek a life of growth? In today's episode, we explore Japan's work philosophy through tipping culture, money as a decision-making tool, and the value of living life as a work in progress.

If money wasn't an object, I'd still be a work in progress.

Quitting. It's tempting to do when life gets overwhelming. But, how can we experience what's possible if we choose to give up? In today's episode, I reflect on my first month of grad school, learning a second language, and the value of modifying Newton's first law of motion for using failure to drive life forward.

How’s it everyone. As you all know, I'm back in grad school pursuing my master's degree in exercise science and life is getting a little bit crazy. Due to the additional workload, I'll be trying my best to release new episodes every other week...hopefully. We'll see! But, no matter what, I'm truly grateful for the support.

Speaking of education, I actually started learning a new language as well. Oh, you know, I don't know when to quit when it comes to maximizing my work schedule. But, anyways, I'm learning Spanish in honor of my epic trip to Spain next year! I'll be heading out there for a few days before the Olympics start in France, so learning Spanish will be incredibly valuable.

Anyways, in today's podcast episode, I reflect on traveling and the value of learning the local language. I truly believe that communication is a powerful way to enhance the travel experience and in many ways is a great way to show respect for others. Additionally, I offer some study tips for learning anything that your heart desires. So, sit back, relax, and I hope you'll enjoy this episode of Love Notes for Life.

My life is one big risk and so is yours. We can spend an entire life planning only to have our plans shift due to an unexpected chain of events. And, sometimes this out-of-control feeling gets the best us. However, when we accept that living our best life does indeed come with risk, we free ourselves to enjoy the game of life. In today’s episode I reflect on my World Cup experience, the unpredictable moments, and my new endeavor within the world of sports and fitness.

Win or lose, life is one big risk. Learn to love growth with the life that we are given.

Listen first, breathe, and then react. In today’s episode I’m reaching out to y’all from Sydney, Australia! Yes, my friends, I made it! And I’m about to hop on a plane to head over to windy Wellington, New Zealand. Anyhow, today’s micro-episode is brought to you by the letter “S” because today’s episode is “super short.” Okay, maybe stand-up comedy is not in my cards, but anyways, I didn’t want to leave y’all waiting for more (because I know y’all are dying for the next episode of Love Notes for Life ;) ) so I’d like share an excerpt from my book regarding everyone’s favorite topic – “patience.” I know. I know. Last week’s episode was about patience, but this week’s episode is very fitting within the context of competition. And, since the World Cup is going on, I thought this passage was very fitting. So, I hope y’all enjoy this week’s episode and remember to design life with intention.

Patience is a virtue. Or is it not? When we live in a very high-demand culture, it is quite tempting to view patience as acting passive. Some would even argue that patience is the demise of the greatest desires of life. However, what happens when we discover that patience is not option, but rather imposed upon us by the nature of the universe. Do we then become predisposed to failure? I don’t know what type of magical drinks those folks are drinking, but I’d argue that patience is one of the bare necessities of life. Patience is the ability to accept that certain things in the universe are out of control. It is the ability to confront adversity with clarity and know how to move forward with intention. So, in today’s episode, I explore the value of utilizing patience with talent to amplify intentional greatness.
