The On Purpose Podcast Ep. 56 - Humbling Times

Life has a way of humbling us just when we think we've got things figured out. No one expected to have the government order their businesses to be closed for at least a month. No one expected to have to hunt for normal household goods for weeks, but here we are. We can't control what is happening in the world, but we can control how we learn and grow from experiences.

In this episode we discuss how have our current issues humbled us and how we've responded. Also, rethinking our default emotion (anger, fear, irritation) or feeling when we are humbled and learning from it instead of reacting.

This Week's Purposeful Practice:

• How have you been humbled recently?
• How do you handle humbling moments?
• What do you learn from being humbled?

Value - noun - the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.

When it comes to deciding YOUR value, who establishes it? Do you allow others to decide how "important" you are, or do believe enough in yourself to decide your own value? As a society, we place a lot of emphasis on outside opinions and not enough on our own. Are you willing to negotiate your own value?

If you're a business over, do you have core values? Do your employees know what they are? Do you operate according to them or are they just something for show?

This Week's Purposeful Practice:

Identify your core personal values.
Are these values currently being met in your career, relationships, fitness plans?
Who is establishing your personal value?

The On Purpose Podcast Ep. 50 - The Art of Losing Badly

No one sets out on a goal with the intention of losing. However, there is always the knowledge that losing is a possibility. Some of us use the fear of losing to empower, motivate and challenge ourselves. We visualize ourselves winning. Sure losing is a possibility, but you've trained to win. There's no way your going to lose.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of losing and what losing teaches us. Defeat is never easy, but it's an opportunity for growth. How you handle your losses says a lot about you, maybe even more that how you handle your victories.

This Week's Purposeful Practice:

1. Are you avoiding situations in your life because you are afraid to lose?
2. What is your greatest loss and what did you learn from it?
3. Are you leading people around you to avoid losing situations or to become resilient after a loss?
