The GOOD Influence - HER

Hi! It is Rhonda....The GOOD Influence - HER. 

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

I think most of us have heard of Maslow's Hierarchy Pyramid.  I know I did in High School and again in college.  It made sense to me but it did not resonate until I found myself scrambling paycheck to paycheck to pay rent, buy food, clothes, make a car payment, find a boyfriend to turn into a husband, and of course, worry about having kids.  Oh...and paying back my college loan.

Is it coming back to you now?  This is that pyramid of levels from bottom to top that explains what "needs" need to be met in order to be at the "TOP", the "APEX", the "ZENITH", the "APOGEE" or the "CAPSTONE" of your life. 

We are going to deconstruct Maslow's Pyramid and hopefully, I can put it into more real life terms so you can determine if you are really climbing up the pyramid to reach your full potential or are you solving your life like playing with a Rubic's cube?

We will walk up each level "step-by-step" in a separate episode.  So, keep tuning in to all my social media outlets to stay on track and follow me as your guide.  

We are doing this because this literally turned my life around in the right direction!  I stopped fighting reality and became very successful not only financially but most importantly emotionally.  I really started to love life and enjoy life.  I want this for you.  And, I want you to be a "GOOD" influence too.

I am also adding a link below so you can view a short "review" video on Maslow's Pyramid.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."  ` Gandhi

Hi! It's your friend Rhonda, "The GOOD Influence - HER".

What do you think about climbing a pyramid?  This is my application of Maslow's Pyramid of Needs.  I feel you have heard enough and we are at that place where we have arrived to really get our footing onto a better life.  I want to get even more real with you about how I got my true freedom to be...raison d'etre...my reason for being.  I explained earlier in episode one that I used to take big steps and I have a lot of accolades to prove my success.  But, I did not feel successful and that sense of self-fulfillment.  I knew I needed to fill this void.  I went back to basics and remembered Maslow's Pyramid of needs.  I learned a lot about myself.  On paper, I was solid, but in reality, I had a hole in my soul.  So, here is an introduction to Maslow's Pyramid of Needs. 

I think this is what you are looking for if you are ready to turn your life in the direction you want it to go.  This is not easy although it may seem simple and obvious.  But, once you build your first two levels on a formidable foundation, I really don't think you can be stopped...not even by your own self-sabotage to reach your goals.  Success is up and over the pyramid...so let's start climbing.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," says  Gandhi

Hi! It's your friend Rhonda, "The GOOD Influence - HER". I want to use this episode and this spot in season one to take a "time-out" and share how and why I started this podcast.  I know it is important to share my fears and faith in stepping outside of my own comfort zone...that's what this is all about.  I have to "practice what I preach"...right.  Many of you know I worked in television and radio hoping to become a big star but as I continued in the business I quickly learned it was not my purpose.  I made the right and hard decision to leave the industry.  So, for many years I have been looking for the right outlet to use my experience and the talent I built up.  But...creating this podcast was not as easy as you think it would have been for me.  I had to...I mean I had to revert to one of my favorite tricks of the trade to create these shows and this entire season.  I have to keep things really really really simple in order to stay on track and make it to the finish line without self-sabotage.  I use metaphors.  And in this instance, I used my "Pile of Laundry" metaphor.  I know...I know it sounds silly and weird for a professional to use.  But, I am telling you the truth.  I am human with fears, goals, frustrations, and dreams.  In this episode, I want to encourage you to finish that goal in your life...your purpose.  Don't allow it or let it pass you by.  Use my method to get it done and be proud of yourself.  I know, I am so proud of myself.  And, most importantly, I feel like I can do more.  I want you to have that wonderful feeling of accomplishment too!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world,"  says Gandhi. 

Hi and Hello again... it's Rhonda, "The GOOD Influence - HER". 

Episode 4 - "DETACH-DOING NOTHING...UM...THINGS CHANGE WHEN YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THINGS."  
None of us are immune to having our personal and professional boundaries violated. It happens to all of us and, the higher up we go in life it seems to happen more frequently.  So, how do you or can you effectively handle a multitude of individuals and situations like this?  I do it by applying these simple concepts of "Detaching" and "Doing Nothing".  Yes!  I know engaging one-on-one with someone who annoys and irritates me is nothing but trouble.  In fact, you know that too.  This is no secret. Most of us are told to be confrontational and stand up for ourselves and talk to that person.  However, the danger in that is that we are probably very emotional.  And, acting on emotions create negative outcomes and more painful experiences in our lives. I want to share with you a couple of real-life experiences where detaching and doing nothing not only solved the problem but helped me to see things differently.  I love this saying, "Things change when you change the way you see things."  So, let's change the way you see things and create some magic in your life.

 Here is just a snippet of what we are sharing about in Episode 4 - "DETACH-DOING NOTHING...UM...THINGS CHANGE WHEN YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THINGS."

Are you turning into that person?  That person who has somehow decided that it is not important to greet people and, even most of the time your own family members. Do you say hello, thank you, and goodbye to everyone you encounter on a daily basis?  Be honest.

We are living in a strange time with COVID-19, but all the better to challenge us to be better.  We can not allow wearing a mask to be another layer of social distancing causing us to lose touch with communicating with one another. 

I am here to remind you of the tremendous power that you and all of us possess by just acknowledging others which in turn reflects positively on you.  That is "un petit acte of karmic positivity".  How do you feel when someone acknowledges you in the room and makes the effort to say hello and thank you and, also goodbye to you?  Well, I feel important and significant to that person.  And, it lets the other folks in the room know that I am here and I worthy of respect.  That is the tremendous power we have to give and to receive.   

Don't miss the opportunity to be that person who receives that good positive karma.  So, be that person who is engaged putting in the small effort to create the life you want to live.  It really always starts with the smallest steps.  Make the choice and commitment to start saying hello, thank you, and good-bye and, be consistent.  Be a GOOD influence!

This is a quick and easy episode that I am positive you just needed to be reminded of the power you already know you possess.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," says Gandhi. 

It is time for a golden life lesson about holding on or keeping a negative list the punishes your very steps forward.  Maybe it is your perception about how important of a part those bad experiences really play in your life.  Have you heard of the ancient Japanese terms "Wabi Sabi and Kin Tsugi?"  Well, I hadn't until a year ago.  I have to admit that I have been carry around some baggage all these years. I will own it and I am working on releasing it so I don't have to waste any more time and life feeling bad about what happened. 

I hope you join me just for 10 minutes to get some insight on how you can better see those bad events as your marks of perfection!  Please check out the links on one of my favorite websites about Wabi Sabi and Kin Tsugi.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," says Gandhi.

If you are a person who has tried and probably read a lot of self-help literature and you really have put in a lot of effort over time, but you don't have those authentic lasting results you want.  I want to invite you to just listen for 10-15 minutes once every other week.  Learn how to take small steps, make small changes, and make "you" time.  The biggest mistake people make when trying to change is taking "big" steps that lead to enormous pressure and self-destruction.  Trust the process of committing yourself to take small steps that add up to those big steps that make that authentic change you want in your life. I talk about taking negative "pet peeve" situations and turning that into positive energy and motivation. Consider the amount of time you have spent being frustrated over the last year over a situation and where that time could have been better spent.  If you have spent 2 hours daily being frustrated over the past 10 years that shockingly adds up to "10 months" of life lost. The best example in 2020 is COVID-19. Were you one of those folks who worried every single day or were you that person who realized their power during the pandemic?  No one is perfect and that is the value in seeing the value in taking and making small changes.  Carve out the "you" time and I hope you listen and enjoy my experience, strength, and hope. I want you to find your power and become empowered!
