When you hear the term Millennial, what comes across your mind? Most people think 'Entitled', 'Lazy', 'Coddled'.

The question is, ARE they the worst? If so Why? I don't think it's their fault...I'll tell you why WE are to blame for the problem our nation has with Millennials. Come on, let's take this journey together...

- Are you frustrated while trying to reach a particular goal?- Are you about ready to quit on your dream because it seems so far away?I have a suggestion that will put you back on track and help you see how where you are IS A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT and you are missing out on the REAL PARTY;...small beginnings. Come on, let's take this journey together.

There is a bible verse in Zachariah 4:10 that says "Do not despise these small beginnings..." The overall premise behind this bible verse is to say "Wait a minute, don't turn your nose up at small beginnings because everything BIG comes from something small"

- Every human being is created from a small thing call a sperm- Every fruit and vegetable is created from a small thing called a seed.- Every home is built on concrete which is made with small items such as water, sand and a special powder called Portland cement

You're missing the party, when you don't appreciate the how something BIG got its start. Think about how we feel when someone we know becomes famous and only celebrates other famous people and never not one time stops to appreciate those who helped him get started, or the person who gave you the money to start that $Million dollar business you now own? Most people would resent that person and call him/her ungrateful...

Why should Celebrate Milestones/Small Beginnings1. As Humans, we are called to GROW! "Anything that doesn't grow eventually dies" Every milestone/win affirms an accomplishment or one more thing to check off our list. AND when you acknowledge how far you've come it feels better than how far you have to go.

2. GROWTH is nourished by encouragement - "Small is where BIG comes from"

3. Reminds us to give 'thanks' for the journey. I'm a HUGE proponent of GRATITUDE. Gratitude and Depression cannot occupy the same space, You cannot be depressed or frustrated and thankful and grateful at the same time...IMPOSSIBLE.

4. It removes the anxiety from focusing on what you DON'T HAVE! You experience discouragement when you tally up where you are with where you want to be; you're focused on what you don't have (the goal), instead of what you do have. That's like being upset with having $500 when your goal is $1000.00.

how to celebrate milestones

Call a friendUse social media to your advantage, please love a good success story Get out of your routine and celebrate in a different scene . The change of environment help you focus and be in the moment. Commemorate the moment - You must do some sort of action that's like a memorial to the accomplishment.

Small Beginnings are HUGE, and never forget to celebrate them as you pursue your goals and dreams. So right now, take a minute to look how far you have come, you started at zero and look at what you have now, feel it, appreciate it, and be proud of it knowing you so much closer...Do not despise the day of small beginnings, because SMALL BEGINNINGS ARE HUGE.

Do you ever ask yourself: "Why do I keep procrastinating

when I know it causes me so much anxiety?" You know what you need to do,

but you don't do it, or you wait until the last minute. And, time and again,

the pattern repeats itself. Today we’re going to finally get FREE from the

grip of procrastination. In episode ten, which is part 2 of a 2-part series on procrastination,

I share how I finally overcame the bondages of Procrastination. Come on, let’s take this journey together…LISTEN TO THIS WEEK’S EPISODE!!!

Side note, this episode was originally called: “Just Get Started Please? How I FINALLY overcame the BONDAGE of Procrastination”, but I changed it after it was recorded so you may hear references to the original title in the podcast!

Let’s GET TO IT!!

In

episode ten (part 2) I go deeper into my personal experiences and address other

reasons for procrastination as I offer practical tips that helped me be able to

(1) work a full-time job where I travel 90% of the time, at the time of this

recording, (2) I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate Degree, (3) I have a

bi-weekly schedule for creating this podcast, (4) I have begun my own company

and (5) have fun along the way. So let’s stop procrastinating and get to it…

Let’s be honest, ALL OF US PROCRASTINATE, but Why? Does it mean something is wrong with us? Can it be hereditary? There’s a science dedicated to the study of procrastination and I wanted to share some really great information from the experts that I believe will free you from the bondage of procrastination. But most of all the tools I plan to share with you help free me from the internal anxiety that was ALWAYS going on within me when it came to getting things done!

Dr. Joseph Ferrari did an article for the American Psychological Association on the “Psychology of Procrastination: Why People Put Off Important Tasks Until The Last Minute” I wanted to share some of his interview responses.

"So, when someone comes at you in anger -- even if you have done something to intentionally harm or hurt them - their anger is theirs, not yours. You may have provoked it, but you can't own it because it's not yours in the first place. If it's not yours, you can't reasonably blame yourself, for it. Of course, you can, and should be responsible to it, and that responsibility then breeds accountability, which promotes clear, clean and balanced communication with both ourselves and others..." (Formica, 2019)

When we allow ourselves walk and live in Blame, we are basically saying "I AM bad" or "Something is wrong with ME". However, when we walk in Responsibility, we are saying "I DID something bad" or "Something I did (or said) was wrong", there is a difference that we must understand in order to live our best lives and have healthy interactions with others.

Let me ask

you a question: – WHO ARE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? DO YOU KNOW

THEM? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO? ARE YOU AWARE OF HOW THEY CAN IMPACT YOUR LIFE? The neighborhood I’m referring to is

not so much about the family two-doors down the street, but the people around

you. I’m referring to the people you chat, text, talk with the most, WHO ARE

THESE PEOPLE? It’s time to do a ‘Neighborhood Watch’

Your Neighborhood Watch, it’s not what you think

The

National Neighborhood Watch website defines a neighborhood watch as “people living in the same area who want to make their

neighborhood safer…reduce crime and improve their quality of life…” (taken from https://www.nnw.org/what-neighborhood-watch)

To

improve YOUR quality of life you must do a Personal

Neighborhood Watch; assessing the people around you, taking notice of

how they currently impact your life. The intention of a Personal Neighborhood Watch is to be clear about where the

people in your life stand with you and you with them, so that you can set

proper expectations, reduce disappointments and see clearly the type of

relationships that are in your life. Your ultimate goal for doing a Personal Neighborhood Watch is to “…Improve YOUR quality

of life”

4 Stages (Categories) of Friends (There are 5, but I focus on 4)

4) - Acquaintance/Associate - (3) - Casual Friend - This is the person who can say “Yeah, I know you”(2) - Close Friend - This is the person who can say “I Understand You” (1) - Intimate Friend - This is the person who can say “I am CONNECTED to you”

Take the time to do a ‘Personal Neighborhood Watch’ to assess the people in your life; are they pushing you to be better or are they just as insecure as you are? Do they remind you of your dreams and push you to pursue them or do they remind you of ways ‘It will never work’? Be sure to listen to the podcast for coaching and breakdown of the 4 stages/categories for friends.

Where you are RIGHT NOW is a direct result of a previous reservation or appointment you’ve made. Whether it’s your finances, your marriage, the current friendship and relationships you have (good or bad), if it’s your weight or your career, education or lack thereof; it’s all because of a reservation you made years ago, months ago, and even weeks ago. I want to introduce you to an equation or formula that is so simple, yet profound in how it has transformed the lives of millions of people and I am going to share it with you. Come one, let’s take this journey together…

I wanted to share an equation or formula with you that is so simple and honestly it’s not NEW, but this equation was constructed in a way that made me really take a look at my life and realize that I need to change my ‘Reservations’ or ‘Responses’ if I wanted a better Outcome. The equation is E + R = O; which means: E = Events, R = Your Response, O = Outcome

What most of us blame the EVENT for our OUTCOME. “I was born poor”, “My mother never said I Love You”, “My dad abandoned me”, “It’s because of my skin color”. What we have to realize is in order to get the Outcome you desire you have to change your RESPONSE. Again, E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome) your Response is the ‘Reservation’ you’ve made that I spoke about earlier.

Here are a few thoughts I want to share regarding the Life

Formula “E+R=O”:

Understand that EVENTS

will happen, these are out of our control. (Car trouble, childhood issues, Job,

relationships, etc.)All events are initially ‘Neutral Events’; they don’t get life

until we assign a meaning to it.How we assign meaning to events is through our internal beliefsWe are 100% in

control of our RESPONSES,

and our RESPONSES ALWAYS determines our OutcomesReactions are not the same

as a RESPONSE. A

Reaction is a conditioned (or pre-programmed) response, something that tends to

happen automatically, sometimes without even knowing it. (I share my experience

of how I reacted to someone disagreeing with something that I felt was

important)What I noticed is a ‘REACTION’ usually manifests itself within

your body. Pay attention to feelings of anger, fear, anxiety, etc.Reactions are ALWAYS rooted in a story we’re telling ourselves

about that situation or a certain group of people, or a belief we have

subscribed to (they don’t love me, they don’t respect me)Outcomes are always

determined by the “R” factor of the Life Formula

When we focus on the ‘R-Factor’; the RESPONSE, our entire life will change and we will LIVE in the ‘O’ or Outcomes we desire. So remember the winning “Life Formula”, that says E(Event) + R(Response) = O (Outcome). Thanks for taking this journey with me!

If you know you had only 12 months to live, what would you do and how would you want to be remembered? More specifically, what are the three things you want people to say about you at your funeral? Most people, don't have an answer; I think its time we change that starting today…

Today’s episode is called: Help Me, I Can’t Seem to Find My Purpose!!

“…When people feel like they have no sense of direction, no purpose in their life, it’s because they don’t know what’s important to them, they don’t know what their values are. And when you don’t know what your values are, then you’re essentially taking on other people’s values and living other people’s priorities instead of your own. This is a one-way ticket to unhealthy relationships and eventual misery…” Taken from

If you are anything like ME, you've heard for years “You Need to Find Your Purpose or Passion”, but never knew what that purpose or passion was; Let me offer a few thoughts to put you on the path to your destiny. I provide a brief summary below, but you must listen to the podcast for the explanations and details.

To help you find your purpose I ask you to think about:

What brings you passion? What do you enjoy doing? First let me explain what passion really is:Passion taken from [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/passion] - “a strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept”Understand Passion is an ‘emotion’, not a thingWhat was the last thing you did that made you completely lose track of time?What would you do if MONEY was not an issue?Opposite– What are you NOT doing:Because someone told you it was a sign of irresponsibility?Because someone told you it was stupid and you needed to get a REAL JOBIf you had a Super Power to change/fix anything in this world, what would you do?This is usually a sign of something that is near and dear to your heart.What frustrates/Angers/Annoys you?Sometimes the thing(s) that frustrate you are the things you’re called to have an impact onWhat are you Jealous of?Know the difference between jealousy and envyJealously can be a STRONG indicate of what you’re connected to and should be pursuing.When all else fails, Follow Your CuriosityBe a Hummingbird not a Woodpecker (listen to audio)Be open to your purpose evolving as YOU evolve.Understand your purpose/gift can be more than just ONE thing!
