Hey, Hey, Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey day, 10 X real estate warriors. Just want to check in with you today on Thanksgiving day, had a real quick message for you. You know, so this morning I was out for my annual Turkey trot, uh, with myself and my headphones listening to Alice's restaurant. So why listen to Alice's restaurant even it's like a 26 minute long song by our old Guthrie, um, which I listened to every single Thanksgiving, uh, especially after, um, I had a traumatic experience in my life. I'm going to share that with you and, and hopefully it'll make an impact on your life and help you to change and maybe make an impact on somebody else's life. So, you know, it's probably five, six years ago now. I, I kind of blocked it out. I don't even remember what exactly when, um, my sister, uh, who was four years older than me, who was right about the same age as I am now at 54.  Um, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and over about a 16 month period, my sister fought with pancreatic cancer. Uh, God bless her. And for the first, um, I don't know, 12, 14 months, uh, she didn't even really check to see what the prognosis was. She just believed that she was going to be okay. And, you know, she battled the Val valiantly. Um, my sister had a very similar kind of, um, comedic delivery as I do. And, you know, really didn't take things too hard. Uh, she just took it a day at a time. And I remember it was probably one of the last days that I was with her and she looked at me and I thought, wow, this is it. And she said, you know, I said, you know, do you want to go with a beach? I'll carry you. I don't, I don't, I, you know, whatever you want to do, do you want to fly somewhere?  I'll, I'll rent the plane. What do you, what do you want to do? You know, what do you want to do? Like your last day here on earth, you know, or physically on earth, I should say. And, um, my sister has been with me more now than ever spiritually. Um, and you know, what's funny is she said, you know, just shut up and come sit down at the end of the bed. And I sat down, I ended up bed and she said, you know, just promise me one thing. And I said, what's that man? And I said, you know what, anything you want? And she said, you know, promise me. I'll never let anybody steal your dreams. I kind of sat back. And I was like, what are you talking about? She goes, you know, ever since we were kids, um, I've watched you come out of the military and pretty much chase whatever you wanted to do.  And you did it, you know, uncle Frank got your job in union, hated that. So you've made a new path for yourself and, you know, you didn't, you know, even though you didn't go to college, you're probably the most well-read person I've met. And I was like, well, you know, I appreciate you saying that, but, you know, uh, you know, it's not going to help your situation. She goes, I'm not, I don't have a situation left. Um, she goes, I know where my path is right now, but you have a choice and you have two young daughters, you have a wonderful wife, you know, do me a favor. And I said, what's that? And she said, promise me. You'll never let anybody steal your dreams and stay fit and stay healthy for your kids. You know? So, you know, that was probably one of the more changing, uh, when people say, you know, you have a few times in your life where you have an impact and something changes your life.  Well, that was obviously one of them. Uh, shortly thereafter, I went into my office and my broker and, you know, team, office manager or whatever, uh, really couldn't understand that we were needed to build a team and we needed to go to the next level. And you, for years past, I would fight my way upstream and keep paddling and paddling the boat paddle on the boat and trying to fight my way up the stream. And finally, it just said, you know what? I remember what my sister said. I turned the boat around. I took the tuck doors out of the...

Inspired To Action For Our Growth #IYP Inspired to action for our growth by the little things all around us if we pay attention to it and for it. As always I talk about the tales I experience in my day to day life which end up being learning lesson for growth. So I have been inspired to action by those whom are in long term care in the hospital which I have had to visit as of late with a little injury I incurred during Krav Maga Training. To be in a place like a hospital or to be around older people, the type of age when you know there is not a lot of time left can teach us so much if we are open to listening and accepting the truths that are right in front of us because we will all be there (that age) one day. This one older lady who was all there mentally and physically said to me; 'I try to tell all the other occupants that you are what you eat'.  It made so much sense to me that we in our current state (these younger ages) we do not think about the effects of things 2, 5, 10 , 20 years into our future. If we did I think we would drastically change our eating habits, work out habits, and mental habits ASAP. We tend to think that this won't happen to us, or maybe we don't think that type of future is in our reality, but guess what it is. So this is why we preach the long haul game. It's not until you sit in a place like this and speak with and observe the people in here that it all makes sense in the now. It hit's you like an AH HA!! Moment. Like I get it, if I don't want to be (for example) 70 years old and drooling all over myself then yes I should take action today to push that type of future off either forever or for as long as possible.   We talk Longevity through a Healthy lifestyle, a mix of Mental, Physical and Spiritual knowledge, the Mind, Body Soul trifecta - Negative 2 Positive Everyday  www.mossamo.com Youtube- ... http://bit.ly/ignite-your-purpose Facebook- ... https://www.facebook.com/IYPurpose/ Instagram- ... https://www.instagram.com/IYPurpose/ Twitter- ... https://twitter.com/purposeignite Podbean - https://igniteyourpurpose.podbean.com Apparel- ... http://bit.ly/igniteapparel

Akola is a nonprofit jewelry brand that empowers women in Uganda and Dallas, TX to redesign their stories. Each piece is handcrafted by 1 of 500 women in poverty working to redesign the future of their families. 100% of Akola revenue is reinvested in our mission to help these women transform their families and communities. Every dollar spent on Akola products is reinvested in our mission to provide work opportunities and training to women in poverty in Dallas, TX and Uganda. Additionally, Akola relies on donations to provide social programs that teach women how to use their income to create meaningful change in their families and communities. In 2006, Brittany Merrill Underwood founded Akola when she was a sophomore at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX after she met a Ugandan woman who cared for 24 street children in her home. Inspired to action, Brittany discovered that by training and employing women who are deemed “unemployable” in their communities, and guaranteeing them a monthly income, Akola could care for thousands of children. Today, Akola provides training, dependable living-wage work opportunities and holistic education programs to over 500 women in Uganda and Dallas, TX who care for approximately 4,000 dependents. These women are courageous – they are stepping up to make a change in their lives – and to support their families and communities. Akola jewelry represents a story, a life, a woman, a family – hope – dignity... that's what you are wearing when you wear Akola. A product that heals – a product that restores. A first job. A first step. A new life. We are excited for you to share the women's stories whose lives have been changed as you wear their jewelry with pride. https://akolaproject.org/ The Hero Path by Joseph Campbell "We have not even to risk the adventure alonefor the heroes of all time have gone before us.The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.And where we had thought to find an abominationwe shall find a God. And where we had thought to slay anotherwe shall slay ourselves.Where we had thought to travel outwardswe shall come to the center of our own existence.And where we had thought to be alonewe shall be with all the world."

Life is whirlwind and it is SO easy to get caught up in the myriad of things we "should" do. So, how do we live intentionally in a chaotic world? Today, Tsh Oxenreider and I chat about that in this episode of the Inspired To Action podcast. Take a Break from Social Media Tsh talks about the screen sabbath that her family takes each week. They dedicate a day each week to living real life and staying offline. "Intentional living looks like a lot of little daily choices." - Tsh Oxenreider -> Like it? Tweet it! "When you don't know what to do, do the thing in front of you." - Elisabeth Eliot -> Like it? Tweet it! "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." - William Morris -> Like it? Tweet it! How to Live Intentionally in a Chaotic Family What if you're the only one in your family who wants to slow down or live intentionally? How do you do that? Tsh and I talk about that in this episode as well. A few key points she makes are that intentional living needs to live inside the context of relationships. Our marriages are more important that the number of activities we participate (or don't participate) in. Our relationships are more important than the stuff we keep (or don't keep) in our home. So, as you look to live more intentionally, focus on incorporating it into your own personal life, first.

This is the most powerful episode of the podcast that I've ever shared with you. If you've never listened to the Inspired To Action podcast, listen to this one. Amanda's story, wisdom and bravery will challenge and change your perspective, especially on your marriage. Stop reading this, grab some headphones and listen. I'll wait... Ok. Got the headphones? Great. Amanda Carroll is the afternoon DJ on KLOVE radio. We worked together many years ago before either of us had kids and thanks to Facebook we've stayed in touch. I've watched the dramatic turns her life has taken over the last few years and I have been SO inspired by her bravery, strength and deep love for God and her children. You will be too. Links Mentioned in this Episode AmandaCarroll.orgKloveAmanda on TwitterAmanda on Facebook Also? I CAN'T BELIEVE I forgot to ask Amanda about her interview with Amy Grant. (Ahem...I may have been a completely ridiculous Amy Grant fan when I was younger.) I listened to it last night and there is some seriously good wisdom in there. Click here to listen. And You MUST Listen to This...Speaking of music. Last week I got an email from a girl named Jen Stanbro, a mom and teacher. She said she wrote a song inspired by and written during the HelloMornings Challenge. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much when I hit play, but...I have never been so wrong. Her voice...wow. This song has been on repeat in my house ever since. If Norah Jones, Cobie Caillat and Kari Jobe had a music baby, it would sing like Jen Stanbro. Ok. That was weird. Just listen. So good. Learn more about Jen here or you can get Jen's whole album here on iTunes. It's so good (oh, and Shane and Shane make guest appearances one it!)

Honestly? I thought it was a prank. I got an email saying Andy Andrews (I loved his book The Noticer) would like to be on the Inspired To Action podcast and could we arrange it? Um. Yes... He is a New York Times best selling author, he speaks internationally to huge organizations like GE, Coca-Cola, Chickfila and The US Department of Defense. Zig Ziglar said, "Andy Andrews is the best speaker I have ever seen." He is praised by everyone from Paul Harvey, Dave Ramsey, NFL star Kurt Wariner, PGA Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez to Kenny Rogers.

Friends, you are in for a treat today. Andy shares some fantastic parenting wisdom, including stories about his own boys, and his inspiring life story. Andy calls parenting the fulcrum of our culture and his new book The Noticer Returns (click here to preorder it now - releases Oct. 1) wraps timeless parenting truths into a story you'll find hard to put down. (Well, if you're like me anyway. I have no self control when it comes to great fiction.) What you'll learn in this podcast: The tragedy that occurred when Andy was only 19 years old. How he spiraled out of control and what (or who) got him on his feel again. Why, as a young man, he read over 200 biographies of great people and how it impacted his life. How moms can have a huge impact on our culture. The "proof of hope" that the best is yet to come for YOU. A tip to help your child make great choices. A Great Deal for Moms Each of Andy's previous books on a massive sale right now on Amazon. The Kindle version of The Noticer is just $2.99 and The Traveler's Gift is only $.99.
