Being lost is not too uncommon for me. For one, I possess a terrible sense of direction, but the main issue stems from not knowing where I wanted to be. I applied these epiphanies to my journey in life, and the results were nothing short of phenomenal. And so in this episode, I'll share my experience on the things you can do to remain focused.Here are my 3 key takeaways:Be clear: Before I even began my journey, the goal in my mind was clear. However, what was not clear was the intention behind that goal and the problems I would face on my path there. Being able to clearly outline all these things granted me an edge when it came to overcoming obstacles in my path. Always remember: identifying the problem is half of the solution.Attentiveness is rewarded: As you cruise along in life, it becomes really easy to rely on the many conveniences and tools afforded to you. But maintaining a certain level of vigilance when it comes to progression is a trait that will only reap rewards and never cost you. I cannot stress how important it has been to check every box in your endeavors, and I believe that you will come to find the same.Ignore everything else: Achieving your goals is merely a by-product on the path to true self-mastery. However, if you cannot ignore baseless criticisms and unfounded opinions, then even that will be hard to achieve. Now, I'm not saying to simply throw every opinion out the window but maintaining a steadfast dedication to your dreams is necessary if you ever hope to achieve them.Master Your Journey

Send us a text"Men, Trades, and the Language of Creation"“A man's way of life is to put things in order, both in the world and in his own soul.”In this episode, we dig into the profound intersection of faith, work, and masculinity. Join James Caldwell and Father Dom as they speak with David about Harmel Academy of the Trades. This Catholic trade school is transforming lives by equipping men with skills for both the workshop and the soul. This isn't just about trades; it's about fatherhood, brotherhood, and answering God's call to sanctify work.Memorable Quotes:"Work doesn't just build walls; it builds men." – John Paul II's wisdom on work resonates deeply throughout this conversation."Creation itself is a language—a divine language inviting us to read, shape, and elevate it.""Men are apprentices of Christ. Our job is to show up and keep our eyes on the Master."Key Takeaways:The Sacredness of Work: Harmel Academy teaches men to see work as a path to holiness. Work isn't just a job; it's a participation in God's creation.Restoring Fatherhood: Fatherhood isn't just biological—it's spiritual and generative. Men are called to be stewards, builders, and protectors of their families and communities.Community as Formation: Harmel creates a brotherhood where men grow together in prayer, work, and study, unlocking their potential as spiritual and practical leaders.The Hierarchy of Work: As St. John Paul II taught, the primary value of work is in what it does to the worker—the sanctification of the person—before its societal contributions.Attentiveness to God's Will: True discipleship means asking, “Lord, what are we making here?” in every moment of work, even in the mundane.This episode is a call to action for men everywhere: to embrace their God-given roles as co-creators with Christ, to transform their work into worship, and to lead with humility and strength.

Heaven & Nature Sing with Hannah AndersonAdvent invites us to enter into the joy of the season through rhythms of remembrance, renewal, and waiting. But often, our very familiarity with the Advent story can leave us dulled to the miracle and joy of the season.In her book of Advent reflections, Heaven and Nature Sing, author Hannah Anderson invites us all into a fresh reading of the Christmas story by drawing together 25 meditations on the beauty of creation:“What I believe creation invites us back to is reorienting ourselves, not only to God, but to our environment and perhaps even to our own bodies and to ourselves. And so when we are giving our attention to the patterns and rhythms and cycles of creation it has the potential to be an access point for some deeper truths that maybe we've forgotten or we've overlooked.” - Hannah AndersonThis podcast is an edited version of a conversation recorded in fall of 2022.

In this episode of Mindfully Masculine, Charles and Dan tackle the age-old question, "What do women really want?" through the lens of John and Julie Gottman's acclaimed relationship guide, The Man's Guide to Women. The hosts share actionable relationship advice for men, discussing the importance of trust, emotional attunement, and how understanding women on a deeper level can foster better relationships.Key Topics Covered:Understanding Women and Avoiding Common Stereotypes:Charles and Dan challenge popular stereotypes around women being "unpredictable" or "difficult to understand," emphasizing that meaningful relationships require intentionality and empathy.Building Trustworthiness in Relationships:Women desire trustworthiness, which encompasses more than honesty. Trustworthiness involves dependability, vulnerability, and a commitment to consistency—qualities that can strengthen any partnership.Mastering Attunement for Deeper Emotional Connection:The hosts explain the ATTUNE approach (Attend, Turn Toward, Understand, Non-defensive Listening, Empathy), a method for fostering emotional intimacy. Each step helps men create a safe and supportive space for their partners.Overcoming Defensiveness and Embracing Emotional Vulnerability:Charles and Dan candidly share their struggles with vulnerability and how men's fear of showing emotions can hinder relationships. They encourage listeners to view emotional openness as a strength, not a weakness.Breaking the Cycle of Conflict and Building Intimacy:The episode covers strategies for ending cycles of conflict and withdrawal in relationships. The hosts explain that empathy and understanding, rather than a desire to "fix" things, can lead to meaningful intimacy.Physical Presence and Attentiveness in Relationships:Small gestures—like putting away distractions, making eye contact, and offering full attention—can strengthen trust and convey emotional security to a partner.Top Takeaways and Relationship Tips for Men:Develop Trustworthiness - Consistency and honesty are key. Show up as a reliable partner by honoring commitments and staying transparent.Use Attunement Techniques for Lasting Connection - Apply the ATTUNE method to connect emotionally with your partner and build a resilient relationship.Prioritize Listening and Empathy Over Fixing - Women want to feel heard and understood, not necessarily "fixed." Listen actively and ask questions to show you care.Be Present in the Moment - Avoid distractions like phones or TV during meaningful conversations to demonstrate respect and priority.Break Cycles of Conflict with Empathy - Be the first to create emotional connection, even when it's uncomfortable, to foster closeness and intimacy.Memorable Quotes for Reflection:“Trustworthiness is about more than being truthful; it's about showing up consistently and reliably.”“Attunement isn't just about hearing words—it's about fully engaging to make your partner feel valued and understood.”“Our relationships thrive when we stop focusing on fixing and start focusing on understanding.”Additional Resources:The Man's Guide to Women by John and Julie Gottman for more insights into relationship dynamics.Support the show

Read OnlineAn argument arose among the disciples about which of them was the greatest. Jesus realized the intention of their hearts and took a child and placed it by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. For the one who is least among all of you is the one who is the greatest.” Luke 9:48This conversation between Jesus and His disciples took place shortly after three events. First, it took place after the disciples returned from the first mission on which Jesus had sent them. Second, it was after Peter made his profession of faith stating that Jesus was “The Messiah of God.” Third, it occurred after the Transfiguration in which Jesus took Peter, James and John up the mountain to reveal His glory. After these three events, it appears that a certain rivalry began to manifest itself among the disciples. Perhaps there was jealousy of Peter's profession of faith, or perhaps the disciples who were not taken up the mountain of the Transfiguration were a bit envious. But whatever the cause, Jesus addresses what is the beginning of a desire for vainglory among the disciples.In commenting on this passage, Saint Cyril of Alexandria notes that in the spiritual battle, the devil's first tactic is to stir up fleshly desires within our souls to keep us bound by the desire for those pleasures. However, when a person is able to escape these more base and fleshly desires, then the devil stirs up a spiritual sin; namely, a selfishness and vainglory. It is this desire for vainglory, the desire to be perceived as the greatest, with which the disciples were struggling.Our Lord addresses the disciples after He “realized the intention of their hearts.” This is a very important line. Essentially, Jesus noticed that the desire for vainglory was just beginning. By analogy, when a weed begins to grow, it is easily pulled up by the roots. But if it is left to grow for a while, then the roots are more difficult to pull up, and doing so often affects the other plants and ground around the weed. So it is with sin. By gently bringing a child into their midst and stating that “the one who is least among you is the one who is the greatest,” Jesus was helping them to remove this “weed” of the sin of vainglory before it took deep root in their lives. As Jesus continues His conversation with the disciples, He continues to act with gentleness, addressing their slight error in their reasoning.This is important to understand, because our Lord always desires to address our sin the very moment it begins. If we are open to His subtle promptings of grace, gently redirecting our actions the moment we begin to go astray, then our attentiveness to His loving rebuke will help keep us from becoming more deeply rooted in our error, whatever it may be. Establishing a practice of constant self-reflection greatly helps with this. Establishing this habit means we do not see our Lord as a harsh and critical Judge; rather, we see Him in His gentleness and care. This image of Jesus gently bringing a child before the disciples so as to teach them about true greatness should help us to realize that we should never fear these gentle promptings of grace.Reflect, today, upon our Lord appearing before you, gently addressing the small sins with which you are struggling. Of course, all serious sins must be firmly dealt with first. But once all serious sin is rooted out of your life, be attentive to the gentle and merciful promptings of grace by which Jesus wants to root out every small sin at its beginning and even every spiritual imperfection. Attentiveness to these graces is the surest way to grow in holiness and to allow our Lord to lead you into His glorious will, making you truly great within His Kingdom. My most merciful and gentle Jesus, I thank You for the many ways in which You come to me, revealing Your love and grace. Please help me to see clearly the ways that I must change, so that even the beginnings of the smallest sin in my life may be rooted out. I love You, my Lord. Help me to love You with all my heart. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

With Special Guest: Joseph Janicki, Brightway Insurance Shaping a profitable and enduring business is often likened to a complex recipe. There are essential ingredients, the right sequence of steps, and an element of finesse that only a select few manage to master. However, one critical ingredient is often overlooked: the 'help first' mindset. In the bustling world of business, customer loyalty is the golden ticket to sustainability and growth. But how do companies truly earn that loyalty in an age rife with choice and convenience? This post explores the power of putting customers ahead of profits and how it can revolutionize your business. Why the 'Help First' Mindset Matters More Than Ever To lay the groundwork, we first need to understand the essence of the 'help first' mindset. At its core, this approach puts the needs of the customer before the objectives of the business. It's not about selling but about solving problems, not about pushing product but pulling people closer through support and genuine care. Businesses that champion this philosophy understand that customer service is not a department—it's everyone's job. The Joy of Serving Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” This profound wisdom echoes the sentiment behind a 'help first' mindset. The true joy of business, as with life, comes not from the pursuit of personal gain but from the gratification found in the service of others. This is the cornerstone upon which all successful customer loyalty initiatives are built. How to Cultivate a 'Help First' Culture Cultivating a 'help first' culture within your organization requires a clear framework. Here is a little BACON to chew on; these 5 core pillars of customer service that, when followed, turns assistance into loyalty. B is for Be Attentive Train your team to actively listen to customer needs without interrupting or assuming. Attentiveness makes customers feel valued and understood. A is for Anticipate Predict areas where customers might need help and offer solutions before they ask. Anticipating needs showcases proactive care and attention to detail. C is for Communicate Clearly Use language that's simple to understand and be transparent about offerings and limitations. Clear communication builds trust and loyalty. O is for Offer Solutions Empower employees at all levels to provide immediate solutions to common problems. Quick, effective solutions leave customers with a positive impression of your business. N is for Nurture the Relationship Follow up with personalized messages, and reward loyal customers with special offers. Nurtured relationships foster strong customer loyalty and referrals. Adding a little BACON to your business is the first step towards a customer-centric revolution. But this is not where the story ends; it is, in fact, this is where the real work begins. The Benefits of Bacon in Business Embracing a 'help-first' mindset is a bold move, but one that's richly rewarding. It transforms the customer-brand dynamic from transactional to deeply personal, from obligation to choose, and from loyalty to advocacy. In a world bombarded with advertising noise, the sweet sizzle of a 'help-first' approach cuts through the static, leaving a lasting impressing on your customers. The benefits are real, the path forward clear. The question now isn't "why?" but "why not?" Make the 'help-first' mindset your secret recipe for customer loyalty, and watch your business achieve new pinnacles of success. Ready to add a side of BACON to your business? Reach out to me for a consultation, and let's cook up some memorable customer experiences together! www.MasterHappiness.com/live www.WhatsYourBacon.com #SalesCoach #EmployeeRetention #Keynote #Career #Relationships #TeamBuilding #MasterHappiness #Jalove #Bacon #WRLR #BaconBits #MartyJalove #WhatsYourBACON

Welcome to "Guided Meditation for Boosting Motivation," your source of inspiration, drive, and renewed determination.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it can be easy to overlook the quiet yet profound messages in the Bible. In this video, we dive into the wisdom of John 10:27 and uncover valuable life lessons that can inspire and guide us on our spiritual journey. Highlights God's Unseen Knowledge: Have you ever felt like someone was judging your faith? Remember, God is the ultimate judge. He knows the hearts of all, and whether you're declared a Christian by others or not, it's God's recognition that truly matters. The Connection Between the Shepherd and His Sheep: Just like a shepherd and his flock, there's a special bond between God and His children. The sheep follow the shepherd, illustrating the connection between believers and God. He Calls Us by Name: The personal relationship between God and each individual is highlighted. God knows us by name, showing the depth of His love and care for us. The Shepherd Leads: In the Bible, the shepherd goes before the sheep. God leads us, showing the way and guiding us through life's challenges. Recognizing the Shepherd's Voice: God's voice is distinctive to those who truly belong to Him. The ability to distinguish His voice from others is a hallmark of faith. Attentiveness to His Word: His sheep not only recognize His voice but also pay attention when He speaks. The ability to focus on God's word is a crucial aspect of our faith journey. Obedience to God's Word: The ultimate test of our faith is whether we obey God's word. It's a reminder that His voice echoes through the Bible, and any other "voice" that contradicts His word isn't from Him. Conforming to His Teachings: Are you shaping your life according to God's teachings? True followers of God aim to live according to His standards and align their lives with His word. In a world filled with noise and distractions, John 10:27 encourages us to listen to God's voice, obey His word, and be His true sheep. Let's always seek to hear His voice and respond with faith and obedience. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message

#10 in a Series on Proverbs - Wisdom: Living Life in the Fear of the Lord

This may seem like an unusual title. How can sin be a “blessing?” True, strictly speaking sin is an offense against God and has the effect of separating us from God. Thus, sin is not a blessing in the strict sense. But God is All-Powerful and can use everything for His glory, even our sin. Sin could be spoken of as a blessing only in the sense that when we see our sins, acknowledge them, humble ourselves before God and beg for His Mercy, He bestows it in superabundance. In the end, the effects of the humility of repentance do far greater good than the damage done through sin. God can repair the damage immediately, and when He does so, He offers a Mercy that not only heals but also elevates us closer to His Heart. Allow your sin to be turned into a blessing by the power of God and you will be amazed at His endless Mercy (See Diary #1293).Reflect upon the attitude you have in regard to your sin. Too often you may deny your sin, justify it or turn a blind eye to it. This is a profound mistake for two reasons. First, doing this keeps you from repenting. Second, a failure to humbly repent leaves you without the abundant Mercy of God. Foster within your heart a burning desire to see every sin you commit. Seek to become aware of every sin, even the smallest imperfections. Attentiveness even to your spiritual imperfections will enable you to humble yourself before God in such a way that your honesty and thoroughness will bring countless blessings to your life. Lord Jesus, Son of God, have Mercy on me a sinner. Lord, I do see my sin but I also realize that I do not see it clearly enough. Please give me the grace to see my every sin, even the slightest imperfection, and then give me the grace to humbly repent with a sincere and contrite heart. I trust in Your abundance of Mercy, dear Lord. Jesus, I trust in You. Source of content: www.divinemercy.lifeCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

In a Zoom meeting of ‘Yo Soy Tu Mismo' (a group of Spanish devotees of Bhagavan Sri Ramana) on 20th August 2023, Michael James was asked: I have been on this path for 3 years now and I have a feeling that, when I turn inwards, I turn shallowly because many times various inclinations seem to be much stronger and I see that my self-attentiveness is too shallow for my vasanas to be really weakened. I also have a very strong belief that I will have to live through many difficult situations or misfortunes and that, no matter how hard I try to investigate myself, I will not be able to stop the fulfilment of prarabdha karma to live through all those hard situations. So can this practice take me several lifetimes? Is it not a path unsuitable for such impure minds as mine? He answers this and several other related questions.

When we suffer, we look for a way out. We seek relief. But from Heaven, we will be able to look back and see the immense power of freely chosen and embraced suffering. It's not that suffering is good in and of itself; rather, it's that suffering has been redeemed and endowed with a spiritual power by God as a result of the sufferings of Christ. Therefore, if you trust in the Lord, let Him reveal to you, here and now, the great value of your suffering freely embraced. By embracing every hardship that comes your way, you will be making an offering to God that can only be understood by grace. This will not make sense to the world, but it will become a powerful weapon of Mercy through which the Lord will do great things to you and through you, He will flood the world with His grace. Do not wait until Heaven to become aware of this sacred gift of the redemption of your inner suffering offered in confident prayer to God (See Diary #963).Are you aware of the power of your suffering when you freely unite it to the sufferings of Christ? Does this make sense to you? This realization is only possible by grace and is only embraced by that same grace. Reflect, today, upon what you do suffer interiorly and do not shy away from it. Face it, embrace it and love it. For in that holy embrace, God will work wondrously in and through your life.Lord, make me attentive to the value of all I suffer in my soul. Help me to see this as a gift of Your Divine Mercy. I recognize the fact that I do not recognize the power in this holy gift. Give me Your eyes to see my suffering as You see it, and Your Will to embrace it with a holy embrace. I make this offering to You, this day, dear Lord. Jesus, I trust in You.

"I didn't need more information about God. I needed more experience with God." - Michael John CusickIf you're like us, you always seek to grow your relationship with God. In this week's episode of Restoring the Soul, Michael explores the practice of Lectio Divina and the many benefits it offers for scripture readers. He shares five key aspects of the practice, including how it helps to slow down and create a spiritual conversation while posturing our hearts to receive. This episode dives deep into the importance of taking a posture of receiving, personalizing scripture through a holistic prayer, and using imagination to experience God beyond left-brain knowledge. Lectio Divina may be the answer you've been searching for if you struggle with motivation or finding meaning in traditional spiritual disciplines. So why not slow down and explore this transformative practice? Through this exploration, we hope you will gain a newfound understanding of how Lectio Divina can help you connect more deeply with God.HELPFUL RESOURCES:Opening to God: Lectio Divina and Life as PrayerToo Deep for Words: Rediscovering Lectio DivinaDiscover how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.What if lust for porn is really a search for true passion?In a world where there are 68 million searches for pornography every day and where over 70 percent of Christian men report viewing porn in the last year, it's no surprise that more and more men struggle with an addiction to this false fantasy.

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Jeremy Stefano This is a reprise of season 1 episode 4 of The Discerning Leader Podcast. Psalm 139 reminds us that God discerns all of our ways out of his abundant and unconditional love for us. His attentiveness toward us evokes a response of attentiveness to him. Discernment means to perceive, recognize, sift, sort, and separate, learning to know what is knowable. To practice a preference for God helps us lean more and more fully his direction, discerning him courageously and gratefully. Steve and Jeremy unpack noticing God in revelatory, reasoning, and discerning times. They also discuss the role of consolation and desolation in discernment.  Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings.

This conversation with award-winning poet Nicholas Samaras is a reminder of what life can be like when we listen, pay attention, and hear the musical lyricism of the world. This is at the heart of poetry, and his in particular.

Jeremy's been studying the details for many years.   Details like: Building and energy codes are becoming more and more stringent.  Green building programs are driving more and more high-end construction.  Products and construction techniques are rapidly evolving. He's also paid attention to what is sorely needed and missing. That's why he's helped to define the full HVAC use-case: requirements, performance, technology, architectural integrity, installation, and maintenance.
