“No matter what there's always ups and downs, able body or not, just like through these times right now. Just find the light in the little things.”

Today we are joined with Professional Sit Ski athlete Trevor Kennison. Trevor tells about his story and what happened to him in the back country and how he broke his back and became a paraplegic. He also talks about his journey beyond his accident and how he has become a professional sit ski athlete. We also go deep into his positive mind set and how Trevor seems to find the light and silver lining in all aspects of life. Trevor also gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming documentary and what this young athlete has up his sleeve for the years to come.

What would YOU do if you WON the lottery? Have you ever thought about that? Would it be a new Ferrari, or buy a big house, travel the world, or maybe you would decide to help others and give back?

What if I were to tell you that the odds of winning the Mega Millions Jackpot is about 1 in 300,000,000. Doesn't sounds like great odds does it? Now have you ever thought about what the odds are that you are here? Well Business Insider did a report and states that the odds of you even being born are around 1 in 400,000,000,000,000,000. When you start looking at life with those odds you realize that honestly you, me and everyone we know have already won the biggest lottery there has ever been. So lets for a moment stop thinking about what we would do with all the money from the Mega Millions Lottery, and start thinking about what we are going to do with this incredible Lottery called life, because we have already won!

Life Begins at the ned of your comfort zone- Neale Donald Walsch

Today we discuss steeping beyond your comfort zone, and doing what is scary yet necessary. It is easy to stay put and stay comfortable, though it is only beyond your comfort zone where growth lies. You can not get to second base with one foot still on first base. We likely all need to let go of comfort to reach beyond and go all in to achieve our dreams and wildest desires. So let's all take a page out of Eleanor Roosevelt's book, and "Do Something Everyday that Scares You."

“I believe the easiest way to financial security and financial freedom is to simply pay yourself first.”

Today we take on the discussion behind the taboo topic of Money. Have you been taught about money? Have you been taught about how to ACTUALLY create financial wealth? Here we discuss one of the idea’s in the famous book “The Richest Man in Babylon” and the concept of “paying yourself first”. The concept behind the personal tax is to pay yourself first, take a set percentage of all income and put it aside before all and any expenses. This way you will force yourself to live off of the income you have left, while simultaneously building out your savings account for what ever you deem important, or simply your “Dream Bucket” account.

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by what we call an unbalanced force.

Today we talk about the power of MOMENTUM. Whenever you do anything in life it is the start that is the hardest as you have to go from an object at rest and start building steam and momentum in the direction of your goals and dreams. Though just like the ferris wheel, once you get moving momentum will take into effect and start propelling you in your desired direction and it will take less and less effort as you build up more and more speed towards your goals.

"Find whatever you may be passionate about, whatever that may be. It could be running, it could be kayaking, it could be biking, it could be writing music, it could be drawing, whatever it is, and just stick to it. What we have to think about is, if it's making you happy, then you might as well do it."
