Podcast appearances and mentions of William Arthur Ward

I am thrilled to announce that our new book, the Kindness Daily Reader: Season One, is now available on Amazon. (See Link Below)  Secondly, we are embarking on a new chapter with Season Three of the One Kind Moment podcast. In Season One, we primarily focused on broad topics of kindness and compassion, while in Season Two, we explored areas such as self-compassion, self-help, and self-care. Now, in Season Three, we're shifting our focus to a specific area of self-care that we call Practical Spirituality for Everyone. We'll be delving into topics like spirituality in nature, spiritual intelligence, everyday mindfulness, the science of consciousness, the mystery of life, the science of awe, and managing uncertainty. We're excited to take this new direction and are grateful for your continued support and interest in the One Kind Moment podcast. EXPLORE OUR NEW BOOK!

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6 We often find ourselves swept away by the hustle and bustle of life, seldom pausing to recognize the abundance that surrounds us. Just as a traveler in a desert may long for a mere drop of water, we sometimes overlook our blessings until they seem scarce. Recognizing and celebrating these gifts, no matter how big or small, is fundamental to fostering a grateful heart. Let's imagine two farmers: one who cherishes every raindrop and germinating seed, while the other waits only for the harvest to celebrate. The first farmer finds joy in each moment of growth; his gratitude enriches every day rather than just at harvest time. Similarly, when we learn to value each small blessing, our lives become fuller and more vibrant. Author Melody Beattie wrote that, "Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose." William Arthur Ward also said that Gratitude can transform ordinary days into thanksgivings. It turns routine jobs into joy and ordinary opportunities into blessings. As we approach the end of 2024, let's embrace this mindset by taking time each day to pause and reflect on what we have, such as loving family members, supportive friends, health, or even simple moments of tranquility. As we hold onto gratitude's power, let us recall Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Let your requests be made known to God. Through these words, may your heart remain grateful throughout life's ebbs and flows. Life, indeed, is short, so I encourage you to cherish every blessing in 2024 with open arms. Thessalonians 5:18 says, "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Amen Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, as we approach the end of 2024, our hearts overflow with gratitude for the countless blessings You have bestowed upon us. We celebrate Your unwavering love and faithfulness, which has guided us through each challenge and triumph. Lord, we ask You to open our eyes to recognize the miracles, both big and small, that fill our days. In Jesus' name. Amen.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever." Psalm 136:1  Every sunrise is an invitation to celebrate anew. As the first light of day breaks through the horizon, it serves as a gentle reminder that gratitude can turn even the most routine activities into moments of reverence. Start your day by giving thanks for simple blessings—the warmth of your bed, fresh morning air, or a hot cup of tea. This practice instills a sense of peace and joy that can carry you through any challenges. Take inspiration from Bella's story. She struggled to find joy in her daily grind until she kept a gratitude journal. Every evening, she'd jot down three things she was thankful for, no matter how small. This simple act transformed her outlook, filling her heart with appreciation and making everyday tasks feel meaningful. William Arthur Ward said that feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. Hebrews 12:28 says, "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe."  The Bible emphasizes gratitude numerous times. Philippians 4:6 advises us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Likewise, Psalm 118:24 reminds us to elevate our hearts generously toward thankfulness. Gratitude isn't just good for the soul; it's transformative. When you choose to give thanks daily, life's stresses fade into the background. Elevate ordinary experiences into extraordinary moments by recognizing them as part of God's grand design. Embrace each sunrise as an invitation to celebrate anew—every day holds countless blessings just waiting to be acknowledged. Amen Psalm 118:24 says, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Amen. Prayer for the day! I give You glory, Lord. I embrace the dawn with each sunrise as an invitation to celebrate anew. Your love is like a lighthouse guiding me through the darkest storms. Just as the sun breaks through night's shadows, so does Your grace in my life. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end (Lamentations 3:22). Thank You for the fresh start and daily renewal. In Jesus' name. Amen. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-divineo/support

Every time I would level up and succeed in something.  It was still that added attraction of I have done it and continue to do it.” “Accepting the chaos.”“Looking back now, if I would not have said yes to trying something new I would not be where I am today.  That is one of the coolest things.  It is like a ‘whose done it' story.  I never had the experience and look where it took me – just from saying yes and taking on a challenge.”“There is just something about putting that hood down; I was immediately drawn to it. It was, ‘How much more can I get?  Do I have to sleep? Can I keep doing this?'”“The opportunity of the trades is what enticed me in the beginning. Realizing I was one of the only on the only ones there was also a little enticing. I am a pretty bold person; I beat to my own drum most of the time.““I am creating a space here for other women and young girls to see that they can do it too.” “Male dominated taking away the light on the fact that women can be there too. If we can say ‘male populated; there it indicates there be more males there but it does not mean that males are the only ones that can dominate in that field.”“Imposter syndrome can creep up on people.  They do not think you are supposed to be there so why should you think you are supposed to be there. You should know that, if are going to insert yourself somewhere and put time and effort into it, you deserve to be there.”  “If you have that thought, that desire, don't let it fade away.  Try it out.  You may find your passion and not even realize it.”“If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”  William Arthur Ward

---------------- SHOW NOTES ---------------- Episode Title: Episode 316: The Gift Of Gratitude - Week 2 Of The Gratitude Experiment – 7 Weeks Of Gratitude Introduction In the second instalment of the 7-week series on "The Everyday Life Balance Show," Pascale invites listeners to deepen their gratitude practice. Moving beyond the foundational step of acknowledging received love, this episode prompts a reflective and, perhaps, transformative journey into the more complex territories of gratitude. Pascale encourages listeners to explore and appreciate not just the pleasant and supportive relationships but also those challenging ones that provoke growth and personal development. With a focus on consistency in practice, this episode is an invitation to embrace gratitude as a habit that can profoundly influence one's life. Key Points         The essence of this week's gratitude practice is to recognize and be thankful for the influential people in one's life, including: - Those who provide support, kindness, and joy. - Individuals who pose challenges or with whom one has conflicts, as they serve as unintended teachers.          Pascale shares a personal narrative to illustrate how unmet needs and expectations in relationships can lead to conflict, and subsequently, emotional growth.
           Key concepts and actions introduced in the episode: - The importance of shifting from a self-centred perspective to one of understanding others. - Embracing forgiveness as a means to "forward love" and to clear negative emotions. - The act of forgiveness is a way to gain clarity and see through the lens of love. The episode's high-value action is to create a gratitude list that includes: - People who have supported you. - Those with whom you have had conflicts, recognizing the growth they have facilitated. Pascale Gibon stresses the importance of expressing gratitude, referencing William Arthur Ward's quote about the necessity of sharing one's gratitude with others.
 Encouragement to express gratitude to significant others, especially those who might not yet know their impact on you.
 An overarching message that saying "Yes!" to love and gratitude is akin to embracing the fullness of life.
 The episode concludes with an invitation to continue the gratitude journey the following week, reinforcing the importance of gratitude in enhancing life's quality and elevating one's spirit.

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Hi, and welcome to episode 316 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. As we venture into week 2 of our 7-week journey into gratitude, I remain your devoted guide, Pascale Gibon. I am grateful to you. Thank you for choosing to spend your time with me today.   Reflect, for a moment, on the past week: how did you embody the essence of gratitude? Our initial step on week 1 was to recognize all the love we receive, which you may find challenging amidst the busyness of daily life. Perhaps your biggest challenge is consistency. However, this experiment is about more than fleeting moments of thanks. It is about cultivating a sustained practice of gratitude that can transform your life as you increase the energy of love.   This week, we delve into the heart of gratitude by contemplating a poignant question:   Who are the people you are most grateful for this year?  Naturally, you will think of the people who have offered support, kindness and joy. And while it matters to acknowledge them, I invite you to consider a more profound reflection: gratitude for those who have challenged you the most.     Yes, I am talking about the individuals with whom you have had disagreements or conflicts. They have inadvertently become your best teachers who have helped you grow through adversity.   Let's explore this together with a personal anecdote: Most conflictual relationships are due to feeling that our needs are unmet. More specifically, we expect someone to behave in a certain way, and if they don't, we get disappointed. Picture someone you have clashed with - perhaps there was disagreement, or their presence simply unsettled you. This conflict might have stirred feelings of anger or frustration. In these emotionally charged moments, we find the opportunity to shift our perspective, to understand rather than be understood. You see, in such moments, we seek to be understood, whilst the shift of perception, to understand first, requires us to step beyond our ego (E.G.O stands for Edging God Out) to embody compassion and embrace the transformative power of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the essence of forwarding love or giving love forward. By choosing to be grateful for the growth spurred by conflict, you release the hold of negative emotions and begin to see the world with newfound clarity. Only in Love can you see clearly. As you compile your gratitude list, I urge you to include those with whom you had a conflict and thank them silently or out loud for the lessons, the wisdom they imparted and the opportunity to grow in the energy of love.  Remember the words of William Arthur Ward:   “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”   Now is the moment to extend your thanks and to share the gift of your gratitude. Perhaps there is a parent, a friend or a mentor who has yet to hear just how much they mean to you. Let them know. Let love be your message.   In this episode, I intend to help you deepen the understanding and expression of gratitude in relationships, even the difficult ones.   As we conclude this episode, I implore you to embrace love in all its forms, for when you say yes! to love, you say yes! to the full spectrum of life.   Your high-value action for this week is to acknowledge those you hold dear. And as you do, witness how gratitude enriches your life and lifts your spirit.   I look forward to connecting with you next Monday, for week 3 of The Gratitude Experiment.

It's not what you do but how you react that matters. Often we can't change what is happening, but we can almost always have power over how we react. We chat about ideas and tools that can give us power over our reactions. We, as humans, tend to be robotic in our reactions to what is happening. Push a button, and I'll always react to the same experience.We can discover how to respond rather than react and move through our life with greater ease and peace.   The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.William Arthur Ward

The Search for A True Master: The Sat Guru, A Competent, Qualified, Genuine, Enlightened Teacher -- This Sant Mat Satsang Podcast is for the benefit of spiritual seekers and satsangis everywhere. Today: a compilation of articles, quotations, and observations about this most important of subjects for spiritual seekers: finding a true teacher (Sant Satguru, Living Master,). This is all about nobody being left behind. No detours and wasted decades. Life is short. We must choose wisely.    "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." (William Arthur Ward)   "It is the mercy of my Satguru that has made me to know the Unknown. I have learned from Him how to walk without feet, to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to drink without mouth, to fly without wings. I have brought my love and my meditation into the land where there is no sun and moon, nor day and night. Without eating, I have tasted of the sweetness of nectar; and without water, I have quenched my thirst. Where there is the response of delight, there is the fullness of joy. Before whom can that joy be uttered? Kabir says: "The Guru is great beyond words, and great is the good fortune of the disciple." (Songs of Kabir, satgur soi daya kar dinha)   "The question then is how to recognize an accomplished guru and one who is not accomplished, or worse, one who is corrupt. The difficulty is that most, being mesmerized by worldly attractions, judge gurus by outward and material achievements, which are a wholly inaccurate measure. The true gurus live a simple life and morally upright lifestyle; they stay away from the pomp and show of the display of power. For example, they do not have expensive cars and opulent mansions. They do not show favoritism among their followers...    "Today's inept gurus do not pay attention to the tradition of true Sants and are simply intent on increasing the number of their followers... These gurus praise their rich devotees; they are inaccessible to their underprivileged devotees. They even despicably exploit the poor... The false teachers themselves do not know the inner path nor understand the students' dilemma. They cannot tell if the student is making progress or going backward. The untrue guru has no way of knowing. In this way the student becomes unsure and confused on the path of meditation. This is fully the responsibility of the 'guru' to assist when the student begins to stray from the path of meditation." (Swami Vyasanand, from, Rules For Being Guru)   The leader of a spiritual movement must always be the embodiment of Truth (Sat Guru -- Guru of Truth). Without a competent Master, a spiritual movement will not be capable of being an instrument in the world for the Positive Power (God).   "Wisdom cannot be taught by one who has not attained wisdom... The way to wisdom is through a teacher who has seen wisdom." (The Upanishads)   God is the Ocean of Love.   In Divine Love, Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, James Bean Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts Spiritual Awakening Radio https://www.SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com

In this episode Juliana and Ryan meet Dr. Shweta Basnett, who shares stories from her PhD work on the pollination biology of Rhododendron in Sikkim Himalaya. We learn how she left her bed well-before dawn to trek up a mountainside and survey many different Rhododendron species and their pollinators, including sunbirds who start drinking the nectar as soon as the sunrays hit the ground, and how the difficult task of climbing a mountain day after day led to stunning views and a chance to expand from local to global Rhododendron studies as a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Maryland. Thus, illustrating the words of author William Arthur Ward, “Opportunities are like sunrises, if you wait too long, you'll miss them.”

Welcome to Day 1865 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom A Warm Smile – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps.  We are on Day 1864 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek.  Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge.  So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps.  Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy.  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life.  So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from William Arthur Ward, and it is: A warm smile is the universal language of kindness. A Warm Smile This quote is so accurate.  I am sure everyone has seen smiling faces of adults and children from every culture throughout the world.  No matter the spoken language, smiling and laughing are universal languages.  The reason for this is twofold.  First, we are all of one race, the human race.  There are not multiple races in our world.  That is a lie fostered by Satan to cause strife between people.  Yes, there are different nationalities and cultures, but only one universal race of people.  The second reason that smiling and laughing are universal languages is that God creates everyone to image Him.  As imagers of the one and only God, we have many more similarities among humanity than we will ever have in differences.   Our purpose is equally similar: to love and glorify God and love each other as we love ourselves.   So no matter whom you are with, even if they have a different level of melatonin in their skin or have different political views, we are to love each other.  So share a warm smile and a good laugh with everyone you are with, and before you know it, you will be speaking the same language, even if you can't understand each other verbally. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+4%3A5-6&version=NLT (Colossians 4:5-6) Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+4%3A5-6&version=NLT#fen-NLT-29509a (a)] so that you will have the right response for everyone. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.'

Welcome to Day 1857 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom A True Friend Knows – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps.  We are on Day 1857 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek.  Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge.  So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps.  Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy.  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life.  So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from William Arthur Ward, and it is: A true friend knows your weaknesses, but shows you your strengths, feels your fears but fortifies your faith, sees your anxieties but frees your spirit, recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities. A True Friend Knows Most of us will only have one or two true friends during our lifetime.  Few of us have the capacity to invest that deeply into the lives of others.  For me, that would be Granny, who I love more deeply than anyone else.  She knows my weaknesses, fears, anxieties, and disabilities better than I know myself.  The opposite of that is also true.  These limiting character traits do not become a point of contention between us, but rather an opportunity to deeply invest in each other's lives to strengthen and build up one another.  We are to point out our friend's strengths, not emphasize their weaknesses.  We are to fortify their faith, not highlight their fears.  We are to give them the freedom to grow, not hinder them by collaborating with their anxieties.  We are to show them their possibilities for the future, not give them reasons to see their disabilities.  As Christ-followers, we are to build up and strengthen our fellow believers at every opportunity we are given, so our friends can maximize their God-given talents and abilities. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12%3A9-12&version=NLT (Romans 12:9-12) Don't just pretend to love others.  Really love them.  Hate what is wrong.  Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.  Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.  Rejoice in our confident hope.  Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.

ABOUT Gwendolyn Osborne:Gwendolyn's Profile: linkedin.com/in/gwenosborneWebsitesgwen-osborne.com  (Portfolio)lomoliqueskin.com  (Company Website)soundcloud.com/tea_with_gwen  (RSS Feed)Emailhello@gwen-osborne.com Bio: Gwen is an involved mother to her 3 talented kids ages 9-25. Leading a successful career in the modeling industry on the runway, print, and commercials, Gwen transitioned into a spokesmodel on the television game show The Price Is Right, gaining the historical accolade of the longest-running woman of color to work on a daytime game show. Continuing her acting career, she has played various roles such as an Amazonian in Wonder Woman 1984 toGeneral Hospital playing the fierce role Police Chief Vic.Drawing from her acting talents, Gwen brings her most dynamic, comedic self as host of her podcast Tea with Gwen.Committed to bringing diverse stories of how real-life Wonder Women balance their own health, wellness, and beauty journeys.When Gwen isn't behind the microphone or filming on set, she's promoting and building Lomolique, her revolutionary luxurious anti-aging facial oil - lovingly combining the names of her 3 children.Gwen is a recent graduate of The Path and now a certified Meditation Teacher, under the renowned Dina Kaplan, bringing a new level of spiritual guidance to her audience.  SHOW INTRODUCTION:Everybody faces adversity at some time in their life. Some may seem to face them more than others. Some collapse under the stress and others seems to have built in resilience to keep going despite what, at the time, may seem to be insurmountable odds. I have often wondered what it is that some have to keep them moving forward, building a life despite roadblocks.I don't know, maybe its ego strength – that ability to maintain their identity and sense of self in the face of pain, distress, and conflict. Maybe it's a great support system of friends and family who prop you up when you need it most.Maybe it's a desire to not accept the status quo, to want more and believe you can craft a life in which the things you want you can make happen.The American motivational author William Arthur Ward said “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”Maybe today's guest heard that somewhere along the line, but not likely prior to being ten years old, when she petitioned classmates and marched into the headmasters office to change the policy of school uniforms in her elementary school so that all girls could wear trousers.That event was part of a trajectory of hurdling over roadblocks, or just believing that there was no barrier that would stop her forward motion.As a single teen mother, Gwen focused her life energy on the performing arts, making a plan and then finding her way to Los Angeles where she wanted your young daughter to go to school. With passion for growth and perseverance she broke another barrier to be the longest running women of color on a daytime game show and the first to show pregnancy and return to work on the Price Is Right after her delivery of her son.Strength of will and of character and saying yes to moments of serendipity lead to being one of the Featured Amazon Women in the Wonder Woman 1984 movie directed by Patty Jenkins.The path was not straight. But then again, growth is not found on Easy Street but on the Slip ‘n Slide-bumper car-rollercoaster of occasionally scary life experiences, and Gwen Osborne has never been one to shy away from life's ups and downs.ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Ward on Gratitude   Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods   Today's insight was inspired by American motivational writer, William Arthur Ward.       “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”   — William Arthur Ward   Expressing thanks for all our blessings at this time of year is common. Yet when it comes to expressing thanks and gratitude for all we have, I think any time of year is the right time. So, give yourself and those around you that wrapped present. It will make everyone feel better, especially you.     Jim Woods December 8, 2021   For more great resources and inspiration visit WayOfTheRenaissanceMan.com   WayOfTheRenaissanceMan.com/store for Way of the Renaissance Man Fans is open.

William Arthur Ward identifies nine actions of people who are maturing.

Gratitude is connected to better health, more optimism and resilience. This week, you could start using a scientifically proven tool to make you feel more grateful. Three tools we discussed are starting your day with gratitude, using gratitude language, or ending your day with confidence. Choose gratitude! This perspective is always available.  Power Phrase this Week: “I choose to intentionally practice gratitude daily. I focus on what I am grateful for to stay fueled and excited for my life.”  Quote of the Week: “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”—William Arthur Ward 

'Tis the season for gratitude! While this time of year offers ample opportunities to give thanks for the blessings in our lives, it is important to keep those thoughts of appreciation going all year long. Listen in as Lauren interviews fellow "gratitude-iast" Noah Walker on all things appreciation. Hear how Noah started on his journey of gratitude, how it has changed his life, and learn ways you can begin integrating appreciation and gratitude into your own daily practices.  “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” —William Arthur Ward

William Arthur Ward egyszer azt mondta: „Ha el tudod képzelni, meg tudod valósítani. Ha meg tudod álmodni, képes vagy valóra váltani.”Mindenki, aki valamit is számít a szakmájában és nagy sikereket ért el, tudja és általában el is mondja, hogy mennyire fontos, hogy valaki elképzelje a sikerét mielőtt a valóságban sikerrel járna. Az egyik dolog, amit a sportolói múltamból át tudtam hozni az üzleti életbe az a vizualizáció ereje. Az, hogy nagyon jól el tudok képzelni dolgokat, még mielőtt megvalósítanám. Rendkívül hatékony tud lenni, ha valaki rendszeresen használja. Elmondom, hogy hogyan tudod javítani a sikerességedet és azt, hogy közelebb kerülj a céljaidhoz. Tarts velem.A nagy kérdések, hogy "Hogyan legyen több pénzem?", "Hogyan kell bánni a pénzzel?", "Hogyan tudok többet félretenni?", "Hogy szabadulhatok meg az adósságtól?". Ezek a kérdések, amelyek mindenkit foglalkoztatnak, és amit nem tanítanak az iskolákban. A válaszok pedig itt vannak, ebben a podcastben.Horváth Attila pénztervezési szakértő vagyok, és ez itt a Pénztervezés Mindenkinek.

William Arthur Ward, poet of the early 20th century said, “Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.” When the line is crossed from admiration to envy, there is a shift in the heart.

DREAM THINK DOer, like I said, this is a part of our Dream Together series. So we're going after big questions, questions that we've gotten at our live events over the years and questions that we get as people are using our Dream Together app to go after new dreams, new goals. The one we're going after today is something that so often happens. It's something that can kind of bubble up. I can remember at so many different live events, people would step to the mic at the end of the event to do this Q&A, and they would ask a version of this question: How can I stick with a dream? And you could feel all the emotions that were tied to a question like this. Sometimes it was fear, sometimes it was weariness, but you can also feel these elements of hope, sometimes excitement, sometimes life, because people had gotten clear on a new dream or maybe unearthed, kind of helped and remembered a very dream. And now they're asking this question of how do I know I'm going to stick with it? You could tell they didn't want to waste time. They didn't want to look silly. At the same time, they were also maybe feeling a little childlike wonder, giving themselves that permission to ask, what if? That feeling of life that starts to happen when we start to recognize a new dream or an old goal that might be percolating to the top. Right? And if you've had that question, how do I know I'm going to stick with it? How can I stick with it? I want to give you three strategies to help some concepts that you'll be able to apply immediately. All right. So let's get to this. Truth number one, strategy number one is be willing to be a novice. That's right. Give yourself permission to be new at something. Now, we talked a little bit about this in episode 250. It's something I've had to learn, and it's something that I know a lot of you have had to learn. Here's the thing. With DREAM THINK DO, we've got a lot of people that listen, obviously, a lot of successful people. And success is fantastic, it's awesome, right? But success can also be dangerous because if we're successful in one area, it can also make us start to be scared to be a novice in another area. Right? It's one of those things where a success is wonderful. But when it starts to make us kind of limit ourselves, to start not allowing ourselves to try new things, to go and learn new things because we don't want to look new, we don't want to look like a beginner, but isn't it amazing? I mean, when you think about it, when you've given yourself the chance to learn something new, hasn't there been magic in that? Maybe that whole thing of not having to be great at something? Kind of feels like freedom to be able to explore something with relatively no expectations other than to learn. Right? That's what we're talking about, to be able to say, "Hey, I want to learn as I go." Because if we give ourselves that permission, there's really no failure. Because as long as we're learning, as long as we're moving forward, there's no failure. And I know for me, with some of the different businesses that we have launched, sometimes some of our attempts, some of our experiments have gone down in flames. But when I look back, I also realize that's when we've learned the most, whether it's learning the most about what we need to be doing or learning the most about ourselves. And so it's one of those things to be able to say, hey, give yourself that permission to be a novice, to learn something new, try something different. It's what brings a lot of magic to life. It's also what allows us to pursue and stick with those new dreams and goals. Right? So give yourself that permission. Be a novice once in a while. All right. Truth number two, strategy number two is decide to do it and know that adversity is part of the ride. Now you might be like, "All right, Mr. Good News." Right? To be able to talk right out of the gate about adversity. But I think it's something we have to talk about, and that's something we do with DREAM THINK DO. Right? We operate in truth. We speak to the hard truth of things. And I think if you're a DREAM THINK DOer, you appreciate that. And I know this sounds simple, but it's easy I think for people, when they start to experience adversity, to say, "Oh, I must be doing something wrong. Oh, I must not be supposed to do this." Right? But here's the thing is, when we start to realize adversity can also be a sign that we're onto something big, sometimes that helps us to flip the script. I love what Chad Williams said in episode 295. You may remember, but Chad is a retired Navy SEAL, and the Navy SEALs are these elite fighting force for the United States, and in many ways they're the best of the best. But they had truly flipped the script on adversity. They've started to appreciate adversity. In fact, one of their main mottos, one of their creeds for a SEAL is forged by adversity. They celebrate it. They know it's coming. And instead of just trying to avoid it at all costs, they know that it makes them stronger, not in some kind of misogynistic way or masochistic way, all that, but they actually understand that adversity makes them strong. And if we're going to be honest, adversity also is sometimes what makes life rich. I love what Napoleon Hill said on this point. He said, "Every adversity, every failure, every heartache, carries with it a seed of equal or greater benefit." One of the greatest coaches of all time, Lou Holtz said, "Show me someone who has done something worthwhile and I will show you someone who has overcome adversity." So going after our dreams and goals, we know that we're going to face some adversity, adversity is going to come, but also want to encourage you that you are tougher than you think. You are stronger than you think, and I think we need to be reminded of that as well. Right? The topic of grit, the topic of resiliency is a very popular topic right now, and that's good. Right? And I know that sometimes it's easy to look at someone and say, "Oh, that person's really resilient." Maybe it's a World War II survivor, or somebody that's done something huge, and maybe they're further along in their life, and you look at that person, you go, "Man, that person is resilient." They don't have to necessarily be a Navy SEAL, but you can look at that and go, "Gosh, am I that resilient?" And it's one of those things where all of a sudden comparison can start to come in, especially on this topic and say, "Gosh, am I as resilient as filling the blank?" And that's why I personally like this term called micro-resiliency. Micro-resiliency, and those are small daily choices to stick, small but significant choices to stay with it. Micro-resiliency literally is being able to choose day to day, minute by minute, to be just a little bit more resilient. I love this quote from William Arthur Ward. It says, "Adversity causes some people to break, but others, it causes them to break records." Come on. And it's one of those things where resiliency, and more specifically, micro-resiliency... Not say or try to weigh whether you're resilient or not, but to say, "I'm going to try my best to be resilient in this moment." Well, that can make all the difference. It also helps to understand some of the fields of research when it comes to positive psychology on this front. One of the things that's bubbled up is something called post-traumatic growth, which is a positive, psychological change experienced as the result of adversity leading, to a higher level of functioning. Post-traumatic growth. Now we know trauma can be brutal, right? And I'm definitely not trying to dismiss that at all, but it's one of those things where we can also say when we look back on a lot of the challenges. I know that that's also oftentimes some of the most rich times in our life, or at least it produces tremendous fruit. Now here's the thing though... And by the way, we go after post-traumatic growth, that concept, in-depth in episode 172, and I'll include all these show notes in this particular episode, so you can go back and check out those in more depth if you want to. But as I dug into this concept of post-traumatic growth, later I realized there's also something called pre-traumatic growth, which sounds pretty good. And what that is, is that is actually learning from other people's adversity. Pre-traumatic growth, and what that is, if you want to flip that definition a little bit, pre-traumatic growth is positive psychological changes, leading to more focused energy engagement and joy by learning from other people's stories and strategies of facing adversity. Now, I like that, and that's probably one of the big reasons why you listen to DREAM THINK DO, is you're willing to actually lean into a little pre-traumatic growth, to be able to say, "Hey, I know adversity is going to come. That's life. That's also what happens when you pursue dreams. So I want to learn from other people's adversity. I want to learn from other people's stories." Because I'm guessing that as you've learned from some of the episodes that you've heard, some of the interviews that you've heard, some of the stories that you've heard, that you can say, "Hey, gosh, I haven't faced that particular adversity, but I can learn from her story. I can learn from his story," and that's what we want to do. So I just want to encourage you to say, "Hey, I'm going to go after this. I'm going to decide to go after this. I know that adversity is going to come. That's a part of life. That's what in many ways makes life rich. And I am going to learn from others. I'm going to learn from my own adversity, but I'm also going to learn from others." And that's why I want to commend you for listening, listening to DREAM THINK DO, investing in yourself and growing. So that's tip number two. Now tip number three, truth number three, strategy number three is going to bring us home, and that is simply to finish something. I know it sounds so simple, but it is so powerful. My friend and pastor and DREAM THINK DO guest, Antonio Neves, just wrote a book called Stop Living on Autopilot. I talked with him in-depth about it in episode 307. And I got to tell you, Antonio was just interviewed on The Today Show, and he killed it. He absolutely killed it. They were talking with him about this book. And one of the subjects that came up when it comes to not living on autopilot anymore, not living on cruise control anymore, is he spoke to the power of finishing something. Again, the field of positive psychology tells us over and over that regular ongoing achievement leads to higher levels of competence and higher levels of joy. Now we're talking about small wins on a regular basis, right? But we also know as DREAM THINK DOers that a job left undone, gosh, there is nothing more draining than a job left undone. Right? Now, what I love about this concept, the concept of finishing something is... Antonio digs into this concept in-depth in his book, and again, the book is called Stop Living on Autopilot. You're going to want to check it out. But he makes the point that finishing something doesn't have to be big things all the time. You don't have to finish the Mona Lisa. You don't have to write the next greatest American novel to finish something, to have that feeling. It can really be small wins. And when we're going after a new goal, a new dream, that's what we're looking for is the small steps that you can take and take them over time. Celebrate those wins. So if you're needing to learn something new, search for a TED Talk on that subject and celebrate watching a kick-butt 18-minute presentation on the subject as opposed to getting lost in your social media feed. Or if you want to expand your network, reach out and do a coffee, a virtual coffee or a real coffee with someone and celebrate taking 30 minutes to connect with someone that inspires you. Don't beat yourself up for not having the whole thing done. Celebrate, finish that small, but significant step. Maybe if your goal is to get in shape, don't beat yourself up for not being able to run a marathon yet, but get out there and spend 20 minutes walking around your neighborhood and enjoy the simplicity of soaking up some sun and actually feel that accomplishment. Or maybe if you're wanting to write a book. I know a lot of people using the Dream Together app, that's one of the big goals that's out there, right? They want to write a book. And maybe you're beating yourself up for not finishing the book yet. Here's what I want to do is I want to encourage you, go after those small wins. Think about this, just do the math. If you just write three pages a day and celebrate that, finish three pages a day over the course of a hundred days, that's just a third or a little less than a third of the year, you'll have 300 pages. That's pretty amazing. And it's one of those things that you could be celebrating those wins, those mini goals, and finish those along the way. And like we said, when you finish something, it increases our sense of happiness, our sense of confidence and our ability to be resilient. And that's what I want for you. Those are three keys to sticking with it. Number one, be willing to be a novice, give yourself permission to start something and be new at it. Enjoy that. Number two, decide to do it and know that adversity is going to be a part of the ride. It's a part of the journey. It's something that makes it rich. And number three, finish something. Give yourself permission to finish something. Small wins along the way will make the journey so much better, and it'll also help to bring joy, confidence, strength, and resiliency as you do. Those are the three strategies, three keys, three truths. And I want to hear from you. What do you think? Plus, I want to hear from you, what's something that helps you stick? All right. Let me know. You can go to mitchmatthews.com320. That's where we'll include links to all the show notes, as well as all the episodes I mentioned, some other resources to be able to dig into, all of that. Plus you can leave a comment and I do want to hear from you, what's something that helps you stick? Or what's a way that you're going to try one of these truths, one of these strategies today? I want to hear from you. Let me know, again, at mitchmatthews.com/320. Now I'm going to give you one last bonus, one last tip, and that is don't do it alone. Okay? That's our fourth truth, and maybe even the most important. We're going to keep it short though, because what I can do is to say, "Hey, don't go after that dream by yourself, dream together." Now that's a little bit of a pitch to get you over to download our app called Dream Together. If you're not already there, it's going to be something that's going to allow you to write down some of your dreams, capture some of those dreams, get clear on some of those dreams, but also to not do it alone. You'll be able to dream together with other like-minded people. So download the app, it's called Dream Together, and when it asks you to create the profile, it's going to ask you for a code. Go ahead and plug in DREAMTHINKDO, make it one word, and that's going to allow you to dream together with other DREAM THINK DO listeners, other like-minded people that are going after their dreams, people that want to dream bigger, think better and do more of what they were put on the planet to do, and they want to see you do that too. So go ahead and download the app and join us because hey, that fourth truth is so, so true. Don't do it alone. Remember to dream together. All right. That's it for this episode. I think I did go a little over our 15-minute goal, but hey, hopefully, you got a little grace because that's important too as we walk out our dreams and goals together. Have a little grace for each other and it makes it so much sweeter. All right. Hey, we've got some amazing episodes coming your way, some incredible interviews, some additional deep dives and more in our Dream Together series. But until we connect again, please keep bringing your awesome because the world, it needs more of it. Talk soon. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!: Leave a comment and let me know what YOU think!  How do you stay resilient?  What are some things that you do to STICK with a dream.  I'd love to hear YOUR thoughts! Leave a comment and let me know!

感恩的力量每当感恩节快来临时，我总是会想起我妈妈和说过的一句话：感恩是人生最大的财富。感恩是最高的情商。世界上的很多矛盾和冲突，都是或多或少缺乏感恩之情，思想上认为别人理所应当而造成的。从人与人之间的关系而言，亲情，友情，爱情是支配我们人生的重要感情。而一旦当这种“理所应当”的思维介入到这些感情中时，本来稳固，和谐的关系，会逐步土崩瓦解。比如如果父母不对孩子们过于苛刻，将自己认为对的理所应当强加在孩子身上，并且要求孩子去顺应自己，听从自己。而是启发和引导孩子自身的天性，并且帮助他们长成自己想成为的样子。如果孩子能感知父母的辛苦，体量父母，而不是理所应该的认为，父母就是应该为自己无私的风险，那么家庭关系就会一直处在一种良性稳定和谐的状态。从人与世界的关系而言，感恩之情也是能让人类种族持续存在重要保证。一旦人类理所应该的对自然无度索取，没有感知到，甚至故意忽视自己对于自然带来的伤害。不懂得自然给予自己的恩赐，那么人类的前途和命运将是万劫不复的。如果人类懂得感激每一滴水，感恩自己呼吸的每一丝空气，才能知道要和自然和谐共处，自然才能保证种族的延续。懂得感恩，懂得感知到别人，感知到万物，懂得理解它们对自己的恩赐， 这真的是一笔宝贵的财富。今天我们分享一句威廉.亚瑟.沃德说过的话。核心单词：gratitude [ˈgrætɪtju:d] n.谢意;感激，感激的样子;I wish to express my gratitude to Kathy Davis for her immense practical help. 凯茜·戴维斯实实在在地帮了大忙，我想对她表示感谢。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》Words can hardly express our gratitude to you. 我们对你的感激难以用语言表达。《汉英大词典》routine [ru:ˈti:n] n.例行程序;生活乏味;The players had to change their daily routine and lifestyle这些运动员不得不改变他们的日常生活习惯和方式。So many days are routine and uninteresting, especially in winter. 许多日子都过得平淡乏味，尤其是在冬天。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》关于威廉.亚瑟.沃德威廉‧亚瑟‧沃德 (1921-1994) 为美国著名教育家，作家，著有 Fountains of Faith (信念的泉源)，他的名言经常被引用，且文章经常被刊登在各大杂志里如《读者文摘》等。威廉.亚瑟.沃德名言Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. -William Arthur Ward翻译感恩可以把平常的日子变成感恩节，把日常的工作变成快乐，把平凡无奇的机会变成被眷顾的赐福。

REFLECTION QUOTES “What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.” ~Maya Angelou (1928-2014), poet and activist “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” ~Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), 16th president of the United States “Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better.” ~John Wooden (1910-2010), famed basketball coach “A complaining tongue reveals an ungrateful heart.” ~William Arthur Ward (1921-1994), American inspirational writer “Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do.” ~Dale Carnegie (1888-1955), famed writer and speaker “Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.” ~Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914), American writer and journalist “The one true God consists, through and through, of self-giving love.” ~N.T. Wright, scholar and retired Anglican bishop “What determines our brotherhood…consists solely in what Christ has done to both of us…. The more genuine and the deeper our community becomes, the more will everything else between us recede, the more clearly and purely will Jesus Christ and his work become the one and only thing that is vital between us. We have one another only through Christ, but through Christ we do have one another, wholly, for eternity.” “He who loves his dream of a community more than Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrificial.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) pastor-theologian executed by the Nazis SERMON PASSAGE Philippians 2:5-18 (NASB) 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing; 15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. 18 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Of the $25T in U.S. real estate assets, $10T+ is owned by non-real-estate companies, municipalities, and institutions. For most of them, it is the second largest balance sheet item and operating cost. Yet most C-Suites overlook the earnings and optimization potential of capital dedicated to real estate.

Of the $25T in U.S. real estate assets, $10T+ is owned by non-real-estate companies, municipalities, and institutions. For most of them, it is the second largest balance sheet item and operating cost. Yet most C-Suites overlook the earnings and optimization potential of capital dedicated to real estate. The experts speak. David Wilk, Colliers International: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts” (Winston Churchill). Kay Sargent, HOK: “A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world” (John le Carré). Thomas Anderson, SAP: “Do more than belong; participate … Do more than believe; practice … Do more than dream; work” (William Arthur Ward).

良师如明灯有渔教师是个很有挑战性和争议性的职业，收获了多少赞美，就得抵得住多少诋毁。因为人类的发展需要传承与创新，教师的职责就是打造人类的下一代，所以承载了太多的社会期望的寄托。还在学校或已经步入社会的你，是否有一位每每想起都会感恩怀念的老师呢？他（她）给你的言传身教，足以影响一生的习惯和品格。对学生而言，若能得一良师，确为终身之幸。为此，古今中外有无数对教师品质和教育理念的建言，且他们往往不谋而合。老子说：授人以鱼不如授人以渔。清代戴名世有言：大贤所临，流泽甚溥，传道解惑，邦人鼓舞。贤者不仅传授道理、讲述方法、解答疑问，还能鼓舞人自己思考、发现。美国的著名教育家威廉·亚瑟·沃德也有同样的理念，他认为庸师只会照本宣科，而大师可以启发人们主动探索的欲望和能力，唤起独创的乐趣。所以真正能让人铭记的老师，一定是热爱教育，保有情怀的理想主义者，如明灯一般指引方向而不规定路程。今天分享的威廉的这句话屡屡被引用，历久弥新： 核心词汇mediocre [ˌmi:diˈəʊkə(r)] adj. 普通的；平凡的，平庸的；中等的；例：A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.比起不能激励任何人的“奇思妙想”，一个能带来热情的普通念头生命力会更为持久。The caliber of the students has gone from mediocre to above average. 学生们的能力已经从中等提升到平均水平之上。demonstrate [ˈdemənstreɪt] vt. 证明；论证；展示；例：The art of these churches encompasses elements which demonstrate the relation between Eastern and Western Christian Art. 这些教堂艺术所包含的元素证明了东西方基督教艺术间的关系。Due to the limited space, we can't demonstrate all the models of the products. 由于场地限制，我们不能展示产品的所有型号。威廉·亚瑟·沃德名言The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. —William Arthur Ward翻译平庸的老师只会说教。优秀的老师负责解释。卓越的老师可以示范。伟大的老师则能启智。—威廉·亚瑟·沃德语法这是4个简单句的排比，均用了不及物动词，本身意义完整，后面不须跟宾语。而后面必须跟宾语意义才完整的实义动词，叫做及物动词。若不及物动词后要跟宾语，必须先在其后添加上某个介词，如to,of ,at后方可跟上宾语。例：They left last week. 他们是上周离开的。Our cars get blocked in and we can't leave for ages 我们的车被堵在里面，要等很久才能走。威廉·亚瑟·沃德简介威廉·亚瑟·沃德 (William Arthur Ward，生于1921年，具体日期不详，卒于1994年3月30日) ，美国著名作家，教育家，著有《信念的源泉》。他的文章常见于纸媒报端，是读者文摘（Reader's Digest）和心灵科学（Science of Mind）等杂志的常客。他的很多经典语句常被摘录引用，并多收录于Quote
