In this Easter message, we look at Jesus, The Resurrection and The Life and discover Four Truths about Jesus and Tragedy.
Revelation 20 reveals God's final victory over Satan and reminds believers of Christ's sovereign reign, the coming kingdom, and the urgency of guarding our hearts from deception. It challenges us to persevere in truth, live with eternal purpose, and rest in the hope of resurrection, judgment, and life with Jesus forever.

Understanding the Four Noble Truths: A Path to Freedom and Peace The First Noble Truth: Life Contains Suffering (Dukkha) The first truth is simple: life contains suffering. The Buddha used the word *dukkha*, which is often translated as suffering, but it also means unease, dissatisfaction, or stress. "The First Noble Truth is not meant to depress us but to awaken us to the reality of our lives so that we can start to live more fully." -Jack Kornfield The Second Noble Truth: The Cause of Suffering (Tanha) The second truth goes deeper. It says suffering arises from *tanha*, often translated as craving or clinging. It's that feeling of “I need this” or “I need things to be different.” "Craving is the force that drives our discontent. It's not the external world that binds us but the way we cling to it." -Joseph Goldstein "The Four Noble Truths point us to the possibility of being fully present with our suffering in a way that transforms it, rather than letting it control us." -Sharon Salzberg The Third Noble Truth: The End of Suffering Now, here's the good news. The third truth tells us that suffering can end. There is a way to step off the treadmill of craving and dissatisfaction. The Buddha called this "nirvana", but don't think of it as some mystical state far away. It's simply freedom—a mind at ease, not caught up in endless wanting. The Fourth Noble Truth: The Path to the End of Suffering The final truth is the *how.* It's called the Eightfold Path—a practical guide for living with more wisdom, kindness, and mindfulness. Think of it as eight steps, like right speech (speaking truthfully and kindly) or right mindfulness (being present in the moment). These steps aren't rules—they're tools. They help us live in a way that reduces suffering for ourselves and others. In a world that often feels chaotic, the Four Noble Truths give us clarity. They remind us that it's not about fixing the world but understanding our relationship with it. By seeing where we cling or resist, we can begin to let go. The Four Noble Truths aren't abstract ideas—they're invitations to look at your own life. "These teachings are not about becoming someone different. They're about being fully human, with all the beauty and pain that entails." -Jack Kornfield "The Four Noble Truths are universal. They speak to everyone who has ever felt joy or sorrow, love or loss." -Joseph Goldstein "These teachings show us that we can meet our struggles with mindfulness and compassion, and in doing so, we can transform our lives." -Sharon Salzberg Want to Read all About this?

Ep 101: A while back, we were talking with one of our clients, and he shared that there was one area where he felt powerless: his physical health. Specifically, he had been dealing with chronic pain that, despite his best efforts, seemed to impact his ability to fully enjoy retirement. That made us realize that many retirees, while they've planned for their finances, social lives, and even hobbies, often don't anticipate the physical challenges that may come with aging, especially how to manage chronic pain. How do you maintain a positive attitude and find purpose when pain becomes part of your daily life? How can you continue to live a fulfilling and meaningful retirement despite physical limitations? Our guest today is a sought-after speaker who believes in the power of a good story to help, inspire, and motivate people to lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives. By combining his twelve-year cancer journey with his diverse business, athletic coaching, and hostage negotiating background, he shares his wealth of knowledge on Managing & Overcoming Chronic Pain in Retirement.

What are the four truths that need to be uncovered before our country can move forward? We discuss the truths and the latest updates on them.
Hello loves. As Amanda said, these four powerful riffs were taken from The Holiday Bundle. The Holiday Bundle contains 22 hours of inspired, motivating, authentic content in 25 videos + a few added bonuses. It is on sale now, but the best price of the year won't last long: https://amandafrances.com/the-bosslady-business-holiday-bundle/ Without further ado… Four Truths to Springboard Your Success : Utilizing Fear + Being Real + Forgiving You + Knowing Your Impact 1. Fear is purposeful. Work through your sh*t. When fears come up, it's an opportunity for us to acknowledge our worthiness and move through our limiting beliefs. Fear is normal. Fear comes up on purpose to help us move through resistance and limiting ideas and elevate to the next level. When fear comes up, I like to say: God (the Universe, Source) — help me to see this differently. Trust that the right signs will show up. Working through a new fear is hard, but without moving through fear we can't move forward. 2. Authenticity is hot. You are your brand. You are the thing. Being your truest self attracts the right clients, students, friends and fans to you. People need our truth. People need us shining our light brightly and unapologetically. My greatest moments in life and business have come from me sharing my heart. Your truth is a part of your pitch. It's how you connect the right people to you. When you share your heart, people feel it. Your ideal client wants to connect with you. Authenticity is hot. Authenticity is attractive. Being your truest self, unapologetically and confidently is attractive. Anyone who doesn't want you at your best and truest self isn't your person. 3. Love the sh*t out of yourself. In what areas are you not forgiving yourself? In what areas are you resenting yourself? Write a letter to your past self: Write out everything you thought was wrong with you at that age. Talk to your younger self about how all of those things were on purpose because they made you who you are. Sometimes the things that are “wrong” with us make us stand out. Talking to our past selves can help us heal our stuff. For all of this work to work, you have to love you. You have to forgive you, all the time. You have to look at your worst parts and love the darkness. You have to decide you're good enough. When you believe you're good enough, you give people permission to do the same. 4. Clarity on what you want and knowing how what you want serves the world. Ask yourself: What do I f*ing want? If there were no limits and I could have anything, what do I truly want? Why is it of high service? Why is this important? How does this improve my life, and the lives of those around me? How does this change the course of humanity and serve the world? How will it feel to get it? Be in that feeling. Feel the feelings as if the thing has already happened. Bring that feeling into your body a million times a day. What you do matters… a lot. Qs? Please just ask. We are always here in DMs or at support@amandafrances.com. Sending massive, massive love… - Amanda + Team AF
Happiness is not the absence of problems. It is the ability to deal with them. Don't let yesterday hold tomorrow hostage. Everything you have done informs everything you do. Wisdom comes only from the past. Don't believe you are stressed because you are doing too much. You are stressed because you are not doing those things that help you feel most alive. "Lead without Finish Lines"; embrace accomplishments and failures as milestones. And the two words that just might have saved Steve Howe's life are (...___________...)
