- #77: IF NOT NOW, WHEN?EPISODE #77IF NOT NOW, WHEN?If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when? If not you, then who? -Hillel the ElderIn this week’s episode we’re going to cover:Learn how to embrace the concept of delayed gratificationTake delayed gratification as a motivator to accelerate your dreamsWe live in a world of instant gratification, which is one reason I am convinced that we never take action on the things that really matter to us because we now that instant gratification is impulsive, unrealistic and doesn’t apply to the things that really make our hearts sing.(1). Let’s start by understanding how delayed gratification makes a difference:The Marshmallow Study:The Stanford marshmallow experiment[1] was a series of studies on delayed gratification in the late 1960s and early 1970s led by psychologist Walter Mischel, then a professor at Stanford University. In these studies, a child was offered a choice between one small reward (sometimes a marshmallow, but often a cookie or a pretzel, etc.) provided immediately or two small rewards if he or she waited until the tester returned (after an absence of approximately 15 minutes). In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores,[2] educational attainment,[3] body mass index (BMI)[4] and other life measures.[5] (From Wikipedia)Delayed gratification teaches you thatLess is moreThat you are stronger than you thinkIncreases your willpowerIt is simple and freeDelaying gratification is a pretty simple concept. Simply, it means making a choice which limits the ability of getting something now, for the pleasure of being able to have something bigger or better later.There are actually two ways you can practice delayed gratification:The first is by withholding a pleasure. A smoker may choose not to smoke for a couple of days and then really enjoy a cigarette to the full on the third day, and that cigarette will be so much better than his usual.The second way is by doing something unpleasurable. One may choose to do unpleasurable, tough physical exercises with the knowledge that given enough time he will be able to reap the full pleasure of a healthy, functioning body later on.(2). OK, so you’re bought into the concept, but how can you delay gratification?KNOW YOUR VALUESKNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVECREATE A PLANPRIORITIZEREWARD YOURSELF(3). Three steps to training delayed gratification:Step 1: Convince yourself that delayed gratification is worth itStep 2: Start small.Step 3: Identify where you should apply delayed gratification(4). Let’s get to the meat of the matter: how can you apply the tool of delayed gratification to your benefit / towards taking more action in your life.Too often we don’t start on what we want because we fear the length of the journeyToo often we don’t start on what we want because we want more immediate resultsToo often we don’t start on what we want because we worry that it will be too hardACTION MATTERS!Inaction is scarierMotivation follows actionAction creates courageAction beats the oddsAction makes you humble49 min

- #76: CAPTURING HAPPINESSCAPTURING HAPPINESSEPISODE #76In this week’s episode we’re going to cover:11 Reasons Why I’m Fired Up About Life Right Now, and How You Can Be TooSpecial guest interview from a global happiness ambassador on “Capturing Happiness”A Happiness Challenge for the WeekOK, WHY I’M FIRED UPI just spent a week in sunny Santa Clara, California for an invigorating conference with the (multiple-time) New York Times Bestseller and impact-making-legend Brendon Burchard. For the past four days I have been holed up in a room with 800 high-achievers from all across the world, brainstorming ideas and networking together on ways to make more of a positive impact in our world. I made friends from Denmark, Thailand, Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Mexico and all across the United States, and gosh, when you are in an environment that large of people who really want to positively impact the world, it’s hard not to feel absolutely invigorated. I met people just like you – they want to make their mark on the world and to leave a legacy that matters, and man is it encouraging that there are so many of us out there on the same mission. That is the kind of news about the world that we all need to hear! We are not alone – we are an army of difference-makers, and you are too!It was the kind of week that you want others to experience. So, in an effort to share with you, here’s a list of some simple, yet profound, topics that came up over and over this week that make me FIRED UP about life this week:Enjoy the struggle in what you do. Remember, a struggle brings you to the opportunity to master and grow in new skills and new strengths. Where there is struggle there is growth; where there is growth there is potential for great impact. Be fired up today about the struggles in your life right now, they are growing you and preparing you in powerful ways!Knowledge is responsibility. Knowledge isn’t just power, as many of us have heard before, knowledge is a gift. And, as with any gift, it is our responsibility to share our knowledge with others. Be fired up today about all of the various ways in which you have the opportunity to gain the gift of knowledge in your life – be so grateful for the potential that such knowledge brings to your life that you are generous in sharing it with others.Always act like your mother is watching. This is simple. Live with in integrity in all that you do, and you will never regret a day of your life. Be fired up today that when you streamline your decisions in alignment with your beliefs and stay true to being a person of integrity, you can always stand tall and confidently that you are living a life of honesty, contribution and love.Perfect practice makes perfect. We must keep persevering towards our goals, with intention and precision, no matter what. As we journey towards anything worthwhile in life, we must accept that failure and rejection are inevitable cul-de-sacs on our road to success. As long as we continue on our path, and we keep striving towards our dreams, we will eventually breakthrough to them. Be fired up that your dreams are within your reach as long as you stay consistent in pursuing them and you refuse to give up.Bring the joy! If we decide to “bring the joy” to our lives, no matter the circumstances or the day, then we can live a life of great exception and fulfillment. We have the ability to generate joy in every scenario of life – joy is an attitude and a choice. Be fired up that by bringing the joy, you can literally have fun with every day of your life.Generate the energy! Like power plants, we all have the power to generate our own energy. We aren’t dependent on outside sources for internal energ...44 min

Ok, it was the word JOIE itself that moved me most, and the French phrase JOIE DE VIVRE. The day I realized joy was a choice was the day everything about my attitude towards life changed. I became happier, healthier, more confident and optimistic.WHAT IS JOY?Joy defined: a feeling of great pleasure and happiness; keen pleasure; elation_____________________________________A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness. – John Keats_____________________________________RELECTION QUESTIONS:Have you found joy in your life?Has your life brought joy to others?_____________________________________Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. –Greg Anderson_____________________________________My answers to those questions:Yes – I find it in my relationship with God, I find it in the small pleasures of life – les petits plaisirs, I find it in writing, I find it in movement, I find it in optimism, I find it in the celebration of things, I find it in learning, I find it in the sunrise, I find it in the cool breeze of the fan above my bed, I find it in brushing my teeth, I find it wherever and whenever I can.I make this question a part of my conscious daily goals.I believe, no matter your circumstances, you CAN have joy in your life.THE JOY BLACKLIST:PerfectionismUnderestimating Your WorthStriving for External Measures of SuccessTry to Do it AllAgonizing over Past MistakesFocusing on Shoulds and Shouldn’tsComparing Yourself to OthersINVEST IN YOUR JOY:Gratitude journalBring joy to othersDecide that happiness is part of your characterSet goals, work towards themLet goLive our your valuesChange “I have to” to “I get to”Let go of feeling busyCelebrate the good you see in othersReframe your fate positively / expect the bestCountless studies have shown the effects of gratitude exercises on positive outlook.

- #73: LESS BODY, MORE SOULLESS BODY, MORE SOULEPISODE #73What would happen if I cared less about my body and more about my soul?What would happen if I cared less about my body and more about my baby?What would happen if I cared less about my body and more about my legacy?What would happen if I cared less about my body and more about encouraging others?What would happen if I cared less about my body and more about how I felt in the skin I’m in?What would happen if I cared less about my body and more about living life?You know what I think happens in all of these scenarios?FREEDOM.Don’t be fooled. The outside is temporary. Our bodies are fleeting. We are wasting away. Death is not up for question. Ok, so that being said, without being downright depressed or morbid, what can we do?We can remember that our outside is NOT who we are.We can remember that caring about our body is essential, but to the extreme – when we judge our worth on our appearance – it is toxic.We can remember that obsession over our physical appearance can become addicting and all-consuming; like any addiction or drug, it steals life from us and makes us disconnected.We can remember that are along as we do something positive to honor our bodies every day, that we are making good choices and that should be celebrated.We can remember to be kind to ourselves – remembering that our bodies are our vehicles for life – and that by treating them well, they will take us far. This mentality reminds us that our bodies are our transportation…NOT who we are; instead, they enable us to participate in life.__________________The best way to really ignite this concept of “Less Body, More Soul” in your life to to ask yourself the following two questions as directives:1. Have you found joy in your life?2. Has your life brought joy to others?I love this concept of joy immensely – so much so that I have the French word for joy, joie, tattooed on my hip. I don’t want to skimp on the richness of this word, so we will continue expanding upon this topic in next week’s episode.__________________Think about the following this week:o The two questions on joyo What will happen in your life when you let go of identity your value, your worth or your measure by what you look like on the outside – is there anything that you haven’t done yet in life that you want to because of your body?o Your bucket listHERE'S MY BUCKETMY BUCKET LISTMarathon - DONEWin a Marathon - DONEIronman - DONEWorld Championship – Team USA - DONESnowboard Double Black Diamond Slope - DONESnowboard every major mountain rangeSurf in every oceanCompete in a surf competitionRun a marathon on every continentWrite a book - DONEStart my own business - DONERide an elephant - DONERide a camelSee the pyramidsStay in an overwater hut in Bora Bora - DONERide in a hot-air balloonGo on a safariMilk a cowRun with the bullsStomp on grapes to make wineWork on a vineyardAttend an Olympic GamesAttend the World CupAttend the SuperbowlRun on the Great Wall of ChinaGo hang gliding in the Alps - DONERide a SegwayGive a TED TalkRide a gondola in Venice - DONEGo deep-sea fishingGo whale watching41 min
