Podcasts about choice you make

Back in 2015, New York Times reporter John Leland set out to spend a year with one of the fastest-growing age groups in America--the oldest old, those 85 and up. He expected the stories that would emerge would be fairly morbid, if not downright depressing. He did not anticipate that he would end up with a book titled, "Happiness Is a Choice You Make." If you are looking for emotional support, call 988 to speak with a counselor.

In this talk Rev Lee discusses that “How you choose to lead your life right now is the most important decision you will make today. This decision surpasses any other event or circumstance that has occurred in your life till date. Remember, the present moment carries more weight than your past. It's about embracing the authentic you, steering your life's course with conviction and purpose.” If you found this content valuable, please support our mission by donating: https://app.easytithe.com/app/giving/agapespiritualcenter If you want more information like this, please order My New Book "The Power in You" on Kindle, a printed copy, or the audible version on Amazon today. https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Wolak/e/B09PF5BQNR...

We all have moments of unkindness that come at times of weakness. Your shoelace broke, you stepped in a puddle, and you got a flat tire—so you take it all out on your local barista. But here's the thing: It's up to us whether we have a good day or a bad day. It's up to us whether, regardless of circumstances, we have a kind mind or a mean mind. It's up to us how we feel when the circumstances get in our way. Fix yourself a nice cup of steaming tea, find a quiet, tranquil spot, and settle in—this episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants is your ticket to my latest Dharma Talk. Tune in and learn about the Eightfold Path and why this central piece of the Buddhist belief system remains so incredibly relevant in our modern daily lives. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Suffering is not inherent in change, suffering is inherent in us wanting things to be different (02:46)When I act kinder, I feel better (17:21)We have to practice right speech in the world with our words—and when we fail, begin again (34:21)Abstain from slanderous speech: Don't gossip, don't talk about other people in ways that may not be skillful (36:57)Communicating is listening as much or more than you speak (38:12)It's not an easy being a kind, compassionate human being… but it's huge return on investment (01:06:37)Got questions?

Nicole is taking time off this summer to enjoy her family and rest. In the meantime, we're re-airing one of her most popular series from the past year - enjoy! Your life is meant to change when you begin to follow Jesus. But for so many of us, that doesn't happen. Why the disconnect? This series is all about unlocking the good life in Christ, and what it really means to be changed by him. Secrets of the Good Life Series: Week 1: The First Secret of the Good Life: Consider GodWeek 2: Confess and Receive: The Second Secret of the Good Life (Psalm 51)Week 3: How to Fight Fear: The Third Secret of the Good Life This week (week 4), we're looking at what it means to really choose joy. WHAT DOES IT SAY? Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. If you want to know how to start your day out with God, here it is! “Always” – rejoicing is not limited to when everything is going well in our lives. Joy is not a feeling you have but a choice you make. “Gentleness” – the fruit of our time with God is a gentle spirit, our gentleness should be evident to other people. “Every situation” – nothing is too small “The peace of God… will guard your heart” – his peace will keep you from spiraling into anxiety, or stop you from trying to control everything WHAT'S THE BACKSTORY? Pastoral letters like Philippians give us a view of what's happening in the church as more people believe and as Christianity is spreading. Pastoral letters set a direction for us. We do not need to be confused about who we are meant to become – the Word shows us. If you're feeling down, or anxious, this is a great letter for you. The theme of joy echoes throughout Philippians, where Paul is making it clear that joy is based on trusting the sovereignty of God and is always available. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? What does it mean to choose joy? It is about rejoicing not in the circumstances but in who God is within the circumstances. Principle for the week: Joy comes from unshakable promises. Psalm 16:8: I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Isaiah 54:10: “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you. Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR ME? We must separate happiness and joy. Joy comes from things that can never be taken away. Joy is a practice. Make a list! Who does God want you to become? From these verses, we would say “always rejoicing” and “gentle” – is that the intention of your lives? Year after year, are you growing in these things? Make another list – what promises of God can you rejoice in each day? What attributes of God can you rejoice in today? RESOURCES: Nicole's Book: Help My Bible Is Alive!

This week Pastor Johnny shares a message from Psalm 143 where we see that the most repetitious choice you make every day is whether you will choose to worship rather than worry.

Most of us don't enjoy being around negative people...... but we don't recognize we're one of them ourselves.We want to embrace a positive perspective...... and then we argue against its existence.We want the future to be better than what we are experiencing right now...... but we resist the very simple things that will make it so.The culturally accepted habit of negativity is what keeps us stuck right where we are.In veterinary medicine it perpetuates the worst aspects of our profession.Whats even worse, we believe "it is what it is" so we don't even fight to change it.We accept that days will be emotionally draining.WE'VE STOPPED THINKING FOR OURSELVES.Friends, a different experience will require a different approach, and it begins with questioning what we believe and how we behave.In this episode I break down negativity, positivity and optimism.I share why it is so critically important to interrupt the cycle of negativity for yourself, and I explain why you don't need to wait on everyone else to adopt your positive perspective before you begin making profoundly positive impacts on your future all on your own. If this episode resonates with you, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave us a review on iTunes and share it with a friend!For more information and resources, visit https://joyfuldvm.com and keep an eye out because Vet Life Academy will be opening soon.

Poet Robert Frost once wrote about choosing the road less traveled and how that decision “made all the difference.” Of course, life is full of choices. As fathers, we make dozens every day. Many are mundane and pass without a second thought, but others can represent transformational shifts for both us and our families. Today's episode digs deeper into these “critical intersections.” You'll pick up some practical tips for choosing the path God wants for you—and for making sure your decision-making process teaches your kids how to make wise choices when they face their own forks in the road.

The book The Kid Who Changed The World by Andy Andrews is based on Andrew's book, The Butterfly Effect. The idea is that every time something happens, something else happens. When a butterfly flaps its wings, it moves tiny pieces of air, which then moves other tiny pieces of air. Essentially, every little thing you do has some type of impact on the world around you. What you did yesterday, today, and what you will do tomorrow matters. Norman Borlaug is “the kid who changed the world,” because he decided as a child, growing up on a farm, that all...Article Link

"I made some wrong CHOICES and I've been in a wheelchair ever since.” Risk is the neglect of personal pressure on safety. Both management and employees need to make safety a daily priority and encouragement, one that should be stressed beyond production pressures or time constraints. There is a multitude of incidents just waiting to happen that we don't think could ever happen to us. But it is our decisions that make the difference between an incident and another day at work. James Wood shares his experience about the series of choices that led to his incident and the ways that we can all prevent workplace injuries and fatalities. About the Guest: James Wood is a keynote speaker, safety presenter and motivational speaker about workplace accidents. For over 21 years, he has worked with CNBSAFE Safety Speakers after his serious accident which resulted in him being permanently in a wheelchair. James recollects his own choices being the reason for his accident and has since been educated on the importance of workplace safety through his experience for both managers and employees.

In 2015, when the award-winning journalist John Leland set out on behalf of The New York Times to meet members of America’s fastest-growing age group, he anticipated learning of challenges, of loneliness, and of the deterioration of body, mind, and quality of life. But the elders he met took him in an entirely different direction. Despite disparate backgrounds and circumstances, they each lived with a surprising lightness and contentment. The reality Leland encountered upended contemporary notions of aging, revealing the late stages of life as unexpectedly rich and the elderly as incomparably wise.  Join host Elise Marquam Jahns and John Leland as they uncover what defines happiness for this aging group. "Happiness Is a Choice You Make" is an enduring collection of lessons that emphasizes, above all, the extraordinary influence we wield over the quality of our lives. With humility, heart, and wit, Leland has crafted a sophisticated and necessary reflection on how to “live better”—informed by those who have mastered the art. Learning Well is sponsored by the Integrative Health Education Center of Normandale Community College. Thank you for your interest in the Edge!

Happiness is a Choice You Make --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bestbookbits/support

This week on the podcast we talk with John Leland about his book, "Happiness is a Choice You Make-Lessons from a year among the Oldest Old".   Leland,  an award-winning journalist with the NY Times , shared some of his experiences with us in writing this book which started as an assignment for the newspaper.  In his own words, " In 2015, I followed six people over age 85 for a year. I expected a deep dive into the hardships of old age. Instead, they taught me lessons that changed my life: lessons in resilience, joy, purpose, gratitude and acceptance. I learned why older people are more content than young adults, and why even talking about wanting to die can make you happy. Best of all, I learned that we don’t have to wait until we’re old to learn these lessons." We discuss each of the six elders that John met over the year and talk about the lessons each brought to him. We share some of the inside stories, quotes and personal impact that writing the book has had on John's life as well.  Most importantly are reminded that happiness is a choice that we can make everyday. A mix of science, inspiration and sheer delight the stories from "Happiness is Choice You Make" have the power to stay with us and transform our lives before we ever reach old age.  Happiness is a Choice you Make

Before heading into the underage drinking party a choice was made. Before addiction took hold, a choice to begin using took place. And before the defendant showed up in court, clearly drunk, there was a choice to take that first drink, and the next, and the next, and on it goes. There is always a beginning where a choice to believe it's not going to happen to me becomes a lie some mis-guided people tell themselves.

What makes us truly happy throughout our lives? John Leland, columnist at The New York Times, wrote a yearlong series that became the basis for his new book: Happiness Is a Choice You Make; lessons from a year among the oldest old. The book is a NYT Book Review Editor’s Choice, and Jane Brody called it “inspired and inspiring.” Find out more at JohnLelandauthor.com.

This book is an extraordinary look at what it means to grow old and is a heartening guide to well-being. Happiness is a Choice You Make, weaves together the stories and wisdom of six New Yorkers who number among the “oldest old” ― those eighty-five and older. My guest, John Leland, in his 30-plus years of professional journalism has gone from chronicling youth culture to writing about the “oldest old.” A graduate of Columbia College, he has worked as a senior editor at Newsweek and Editor-in-Chief of Details Magazine before joining The New York Times in 2000. In 2015, he wrote a year-long series following six people age 85 and up, which became the basis for his book “Happiness is a Choice You Make: Lessons from a year among the Oldest Old,” a New York Times bestseller. As he wrote in the Times, “No work I have ever done has brought me as much joy and hope or changed my outlook on life as profoundly.” He is the author of two previous books: “Hip: The History” and “Why Kerouac Matters.”     This interview includes: What is happiness? How gratitude can be your access point to a happy life The transforming benefits of forgiveness What is perception and the profound impact is has on your life How you do not need to let past experiences define you How you can choose to be happy Links mentioned in this episode: You can purchase the book by clicking the link below!

The average life expectancy is nearly 83 years where I live. People are living healthier, wealthier, and longer lives than ever before, but what the heck do you do in that last third portion of your life? Golf or bingo? Yoga or CrossFit? It's really hard to know what options we'll have in our 80s, but it also seems pretty foolish not to plan for it now. On this week's show, you'll meet a New York Times writer who extensively profiled six elders (over 85) in New York City. He'll share what he learned about living and dying with us on the show. Listen & Learn: The role of choice in happiness in later life Why isolation from a purpose can be just as painful as social isolation How pain and illness are less important than how people choose to interpret them in the context of their lives How “no regrets” is a common theme with age Links & Resources: John's Book on Amazon ABOUT OUR GUEST John Leland is a reporter at The New York Times, where he wrote a year-long series that became the basis for Happiness Is a Choice You Make.

In 2015, award-winning journalist John Leland set out on behalf of The New York Times to meet members of America's fastest growing age group: people age 85 and older, or what gerontologists often refer to as “the oldest old.” What John discovered during his deep dive into the world of elders upended his own ideas about old age. It also challenged the widespread notion that old age is nothing more than a grim period of physical and emotional decline. On the show John shares some of the lessons he learned from six elders profiled in his best-selling book, “Happiness Is A Choice You Make: Lessons From a Year Among the Oldest Old.” They include his own mother, Dorothy Leland, and the late Jonas Mekas, who hung out with Andy Warhol and Allen Ginsberg and was known as the godfather of American avant-garde cinema. He talks about his series “85 and Up” for the Times, which formed the basis for his book, and about the huge influence we all have over the quality of our lives as we age. Hint: research shows that a positive view of old age results in adding 7-1/2 years to your life.To purchase a transcript of this episode please click  hereSubscribe to The Agewyz Podcast: iTunesGot a story to share?

John thought that the year would be somewhat depressing, but it turned out to be quite different than he expected. He gained a lot of insight from his interactions with his subjects. Each person was quite different and they came from all walks of life. But even though they were such different people they shared the knowledge that they defined themselves by the choices they made.

It’s Episode 50! Can you believe it! It has been just 114 days since the Your Best Manager podcast launched but those 114 days have been jam-packed with so much good stuff… and I’ve got to say, I am so grateful, every day, for the opportunity I have (and have had) to connect with so many amazing people.  That includes the great guests who lend their expertise to this show but also you, the listener who joins me for each episode as we learn together and grow into more effective leaders (and hopefully better people). Show Notes: http://yourbestmanager.com/50 I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect a bit on the past 50 shows, celebrate some of the best moments from this podcast and really just get super pumped up for what’s going to be coming up on the next 50 shows! So what I’ve done is put together is an EPIC highlight reel /Recap / Top 10-style presentation... thing!  PLUS, at the end of the show, I’ve got a really cool opportunity I want to give you. It's something free, something exclusive, something you are going to want to take advantage of….

Maybe that’s breaking the rules and maybe that’s me being a bit of a jerk by telling you something really cool is coming and then saying that you have to wait and find out, but, too bad - you’ll get over it.
