Goal and Soul

You aren't responsible for your upbringing, but you are responsible for the end of your story. The true alchemy of life is to be able to create meaning from whatever hardship you go through and come out on the other end. You get to create meaning for the things that happen, you get to define your life - Enjoy!

We think that routines are boring and the antithesis to what a good life should look like, but this is quite the opposite. A routine allows us to improve upon our health and happiness by letting our conscious decisions dictate our day, rather than being jerked around in every direction from our impulses. In this episode I talk about how a daily routine can positively impact and change your life. Let's go and lets dive right into this - Enjoy!

Everywhere you go there will always be somebody holding you back - that is yourself. Your ego is the enemy of what you want and what you have. In this episode I talk about the book called Ego Is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday and 3 different ways to combat your ego - Enjoy!

In this episode I encourage you to  "Seek Discomfort", meaning to step out of your comfort zone and do the things that are uncomfortable. We grow in times of discomfort, not in times of ease. The most well rounded people are comfortable in discomfort. What you desire in life lays outside of your comfort zone! Enjoy!

There won't ever be a time to start. Most people are too scared to start and think they have to be a master to begin. But to get good at anything you just have to dive in. So what are you waiting for? time is limited.. as Nike would say "Just Do It". In this episode I talk about the valuable lessons I learned from the creator of NIKE in his book Shoe Dog. Enjoy!

"Carpe Diem" is a Latin phrase that translated to "Seize the Day". It is used as a reminder to use the precious time we have each day, before it runs out. To focus our time, attention and energy on what is meaningful to us, rather than letting time slip through our fingers. To that I say, seize your day. Enjoy!

In this podcast I talk about a technique called "Thinking With the End in Mind" - that I learned from the book The 7 habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.  This technique has helped me develop my long-term vision to guide me in the direction I want to head in. Having an appropriate end goal and destination provides a clear path to achieve your goals and become the person you want to be. Enjoy!

You have the power to transform your life - to create meaning from your hardships. Without suffering I would have never created Goal and Soul. It was when I was lost in the dark that I found my light. In life you cannot control the wind, but you can adjust your sail. In this episode I talk about different beliefs that can help you navigate your winds when you are faced with hard times in your life. Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to excel in your life's purpose and live a life of abundance? In this episode I talk about a concept that allows for self-renewal and growth in 4 different dimensions of the human nature. By focusing on these  4 different dimensions, it will allow you to excel in your personal life, business and to become your best self. Sharpen the Saw is habit #7  from the book The 7 habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen F. Covey -  Enjoy!

Your attitude in life will determine your altitude. We don't recognize how negative we are in our everyday life until we bring conscious awareness to it. The little things are the big things, where even one negative thought can be detrimental to your overall mood. In this episode I talk about the buzzword GRATITUDE, and how expressing gratitude regularly can change your whole outlook on life, backed up with science. So let's go and let's dive right into it. Enjoy!

Letting Go is easier said than done, but it is something we must do, if we want to grow into our highest versions of ourselves. Sometimes letting go is a far greater power than hanging on. When you let go of the person you thought you were, you will lose many things from your past, but you will find yourself. In this episode I go deep into conversation with my friend H4K. Enjoy!

In this episode I talk about a very important topic which is healing your heart. In the book "The Everyday Hero Manifesto" by Robin Sharma he talks about a 4 step process to heal your heart, to break free of past trauma, in order to unlock your fullest potential and creative genius within. I vibe'd with this chapter in his book and felt compelled to share his wisdom, as well as my person experience with you guys. Enjoy!

In this episode I dive deep into the topics of time, purpose, and journaling with the cinematic legend, H4K. Enjoy!

In this episode I talk a little bit about a small mental technique that can improve your productivity and habits in your everyday life. This technique is called "Winning the Day", which I learned from the book - Learn, Improve, Master: How to Develop Any Skill and Excel at it by Nick Velasquez. In order to achieve greatness, one must focus on improving each day,  winning the day.

I find we often focus on the final destination of who we want to be, but I also have came to realize that this takes away from our happiness in the present moment. I believe that life is really about enjoying who you are now, enjoying the journey... the journey is taking small steps everyday in the right direction, the journey is when you become the person you want to be.. so learn to embrace it, learn that you aren't going to be your best right now, you aren't suppose to have it all figured out right now... but what you do have to figure out, is the direction you want to head it! Enjoy the journey! Goal and Soul :)

Starting with WHY can allow you to live a more purposeful day and find success in what you love doing. Having a WHY can help you create meaning in your life to achieve something greater than yourself and keep you motivated while doing so. What is your WHY?

In this episode I talk about The Power of Saying No and how saying no will give your yes' more power! The premises is that it is a mentality that allows you to focus on what you really want to be doing and eliminating the people pleasing mentality that a lot of us fall victims to, myself included. When you say yes to things you don't really want to do, it can become a habit and this will cause you to lose your authenticity. Our time here is limited, making it important to focus on what really matters. Enjoy!

In this episode I talk about a key concept which is to "Be Impeccable With Your Word". This concept is from the book The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz.
