The Jerry Banfield Show

Making a little effort every day, and tracking it, adds up to a lot very fast. I use an Excel spreadsheet to track the work I do for my online business, and it is amazing what you can accomplish if you a put in a little work each day. Now the day by day work might not look very impressive, but the totals are! I got the idea to start tracking my work from a dieting app I use. Each day, you track your calories and exercise with the goal of losing a set number of pounds. The idea with tracking your daily work is the same. I big long-term goal can be a daunting task to achieve, but by doing a little bit each day, you are able to see the progress you make. Thank you for taking the time to be here, and I appreciate your feedback!

When you are having a hard time, know that you are not alone! This helps me a lot to know that I am not alone with whatever I am struggling with, in life. The worst part about struggling, being frustrated, and having a hard time is that feeling like you are all alone. I spent a lot of my life feeling as if I was isolated with problems that seemed impossible to solve, and I am thankful to be in a place where I can ask for help. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

The one dog is an idea that every dog is fundamentally the same, and shares a single spirit. In other words, no matter how many different dogs you have come across in your lifetime, they are all basically the same dog. Now just like any other idea, this may be true or completely false, but it is this very idea that helps me avoid feeling separate from the rest of the world. I hope you enjoy the time you spend here with me today, and I hope you have a great day!

What if I have to live everyone else's life? This may overwhelming to think about at first, but it helps me to make the right decision, each moment. For example, if I must live someone else's life in the future, or have already lived another life in the past, it makes it easy to live a life of service. It also helps me to avoid hurting others around me, because I would essentially be hurting myself. I am grateful to be here today to share this thought with you, and I hope you have a great day!

Recent physics discoveries show that the act of observation will influence that which is being observed. This "observer effect" has helped me a great deal in my own life to pay attention to the light in which I view things. The only choice I have is the point of view I take, not how the actual event occurs. Thank you for being here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

We as people are not all that different, and this helps me immensely to live a life of service. Knowing that I am no better or worse than the people around, helps keep me humble and allows me to serve others to the best of my ability. I used to think I was a terrible person, and would often kick myself emotionally when I was down. I am grateful for the people in my life who project peace, love, and understanding, because without them I would be in a very dark place.

Any salvation you are hoping for in the future, is also available right now, in this moment. This has been an amazing discovery and power thought in my life, and I am happy to be here to share it with you. In the past, I was often obsessed with future events. For example, as a child I would always look forward to breaks from school. As a young adult I was obsessed with finding my future wife, and most recently I wanted to make more and more money each year. I soon realized that always wanting more or looking to the future for happiness left my life feeling empty, as if I was mouse in a maze trying to reach the piece of cheese at the end. The truth is, you already have everything you need in this moment. Thank you for being here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

90% of success in life comes from showing up. Now, what does this mean practically? When it comes to relationships, just being there for the other person goes a long way. Now you may ultimately say or do the wrong things, but just taking the time to be there for the other person will go a long way. Ever since my dad passed away, I try and communicate with my mom at least once per day. Even if it is only a short phone call or text message, I will take the time to show her that I am thinking of her. I used to skip appointments, events, and hanging out with friends if I would be even a little bit late. In retrospect, I was completely missing the point, and thus failing 100%. My ego was getting in the way because I thought I would look bad if I showed up tardy. I am thankful to be in a place where I can see the value in simply making an honest effort in life.

Slowing down offers the easiest solution to most of my problems today. I learned this because I went too fast for most of my life. I am grateful to live life today at a more measured pace. Some people say I talk too slow and that I should get to a point quicker. I used to talk at a more rapid pace, but I often found myself stumbling over my words, using "ah," "um," and "like" more frequently, and talking too much. Now, I am able to create these videos without a script, and speak in a more meaningful way. Life is very much like speaking. When you move too fast, you are much more likely to make mistakes, bump in to things, and get in to accidents. Today, I am grateful to be in place where I can enjoy life around me at a measured pace, and appreciate each and every waking moment.

Whatever is being said, is what I need to hear. The idea behind this thought is you always have the help you need around you, at all times. In fact, in periods of my life with prolonged suffering, I had people making the right suggestions, I would just refuse to listen. From a spiritual perspective I believe that we are all interconnected, and this has helped me to become a better listener. Whatever is being said to me is exactly what I need to hear, each moment. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!
