"Hope is a waking dream.” – Aristotle “You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.” – Michelle Obama “Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.” – Laini Taylor ”You will be secure because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. “ – Job 11:18-19 Support our podcast -- get the ebook Success Habits click HERE or go to Amazon books Blessed day! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tarlie-francis/message
"Pain pushes us until our vision pulls."- Dr. Michael Beckwith Let's do a reality check for a second here. We romanticize change. We do. We do. Remember those moments when you wake up one morning and decide to run or jog for the first time or when you decide that that's enough unhealthy snacks for today or when you decide that you want to resign and try a different career? The euphoric or painful moment of deciding is such a pivotal experience, but why do 9 out of 10 times, we revert back? The dissatisfaction with where we are in our lives is the leading reason why we decide to take action, to change, but is it enough? Is it sustainable? In this episode, let's talk about how you can take control of your life by deciding who you want to become. Highlights: -The purpose of life is growth. Growth needs to be a conscious process to not fall into drifting by. -What got you here, won't get you there. What pushed you to experience change before might not be the same push you need to level up. "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." - Aristotle You have to be curious about who you are and be more curious about who you are becoming. Timestamps to some important stories in the episode: (14:07) Who is your hero? Excerpt of Matthew McConaughey's speech during the 86th Oscars. (19:42) Basal Ganglia lives for repetition and we need to be careful what behavior or habit we don't practice constantly as this leads to habit suicide.

“You’re not truly successful, you’re not truly the great white, until you take others with you.” – Walter Bond In business, success is often measured by the ability to beat the competition.

Letters to my kids: A suicide survivor's lessons and advice for life
Episode 31 - Part 5 : Life - surviving and struggling to survive Music: “Just A Blip” by Andy G. CohenFrom the Free Music ArchiveReleased under a Creative Commons Attribution International License https://open.buffer.com/survive-thrive/ - If you think you’re wandering alone trying to raise your voice so everybody can hear you roaring, you’re wrong. In fact, you are surrounded with people who fight bloody combats in their minds between success and failure. Whoever told you that life and success comes easy is either pleasing you, or talk nonsense. Life is a balance of good and bad times along with picking out the best lessons out of both experiences. - You are determined more than ever. Determination is the first thing you do conscious that will take you directly to your wishes. Determination means that you already have a clear goal and willing to sacrifice everything to grab that goal with both hands. Emotions will rush over you to go back to the old habits. - You feel like breaking down. At the exact moment when you feel like the world falls down on you is the moment you have to decide two things: go down with it, or elevate stronger than ever. They remind us to see beauty behind the thorns on the way. Life is one big test where we have to see through all perspectives. The price we have to pay not to blur our dreams when encountering the weight of the world on our shoulders. - You firmly want to give up. Following the sign of the hard struggle when you feel like breaking down, the mental state to give up will invade your mind. That’s really a sign that you are doing the right thing. I would state it as finding comfort in the discomfort. "It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. Learning is not compulsory... neither is survival." W. Edwards Deming - You choose to avoid night-out over work. Everyone needs to hang out from time to time. We exchange thoughts, enjoy the time with our biddies, and have a fun time. But sometimes night-out needs to be avoided if we have crucial work to finish that might take us closer to the vision. Free time needs to be earned thought previous successful days of work. Believe me; the best memories are made when you have nothing left behind to occupy your mind. - You are less with wrong people. In those times you reveal your true friends and people who care about you the most. While being lonely may seem like a dark period and something might be wrong with us, that period of our life is the enlightening. You are left alone with your experience to form your future. "It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value." -Arthur C. Clarke - You are occupied with your success. Emotions play with our mind when we determine to succeed in life. As I previously mentioned, we all have bad habits that have to be removed. That’s not easy at all. Success should make us happy. It shouldn’t mean that “success” is endless money and one mile houses. "Every day I run scared. That's the only way I can stay ahead ." John H Johnson - You exchange life for something only you see. First off, you sacrifice life with everything you do daily. You literally give up (something important and most valued) for the sake of your considerations. You exchange life for the picture in your head of rightfulness. And no, you are not giving up life for nothing. You switch every second and hand out struggle to your vision. "When you're in the battlefield, survival is all there is. Death is the only great emotion." Samuel Fuller - You know your goal as soon as you wake up. Waking up may be the hardest part of the day for some people, but not for those who have clear concise vision (of at least) how they should spend their day to be closer to a better tomorrow. Every one of us can easily create positive and creative way of thinking in a short period of time. Imagine life differently. The mind can expand as long as you’re willing to. "The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival." Aristotle - You are struggling like every success. When you walk the hard road, know that millions of people went through it. They even walked uglier roads to grasp success. As billions of people passed the car tests and driving lessons, success means life is putting you to a test to see if you’re hard enough to endure it. “Nothing worth having comes easy.” - You are not alone. It’s never too late to change your community, your life, your world. If you think you’re on the right foot, the world will get in accordance with it. If you want to change it’s never too late, either at 18 or 98. "Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival." Winston Churchill
“These virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions.” – Aristotle “You are what you do repeatedly. So your excellence isn’t an act, it’s a habit.” – Will Durant paraphrasing Aristotle. Charles Duhigg’s book The Power of Habit breaks habits into three parts: the trigger, action, and reward. In order to create habits (and repeatedly complete the actions we want to achieve our goals), we need to establish triggers and rewards. Let yourself be great!
