I try so hard. I sweat. I have tremendous will power. I swing the axe over and over again at my objectives--what's the problem, could it be my sequence?

The best tennis players in the world are really good at getting ready. So much so they suffer game violations and penalties because it's so important to be ready. Do you spend more time getting ready? Or aiming? Or firing?

If 'what you seek is seeking you'--then the most important question becomes, what do you seek?

When you flick on the light in the bathroom mirror, what's your first glance, something positive about your body or something negative?

This is episode 2 of 50 this year >> Only 48 more to go--join me let's do this! Crush your day with this episode!

More powerful than getting what you want (and now) is knowing: who you are. So, who are you? The more you know, the bigger your golden tickets get. Are you manifesting what you truly want deep down--or just doing what's convenient, available, or conditioned to think?

The time is yours, now, to make miracles today, your miracles, using your superpowers!

First: Happy New Year to all my invisible friends! Watch out 2024, here we come!

Second: We are getting this year properly started with this Golden episode. Happy to announce this is the first episode of the year, the 1st of 50 episode that I promise to do this year. And something about me, is I don't let my friends down. 1/50, we'll be at 50 for 2024 before you know it!

This episode is about your Golden Ticket? Do you have one? What is it? Are you jumping up and down on the bed with Grandpa Joe?

Although my singing suffers in this episode, it stands as one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it and kick off the New Year with clarity, abundance, courage, peace, and most importantly, being who you were meant to be--because the world needs your superpowers!

Story Time! This is one of my favorite stories I've created about achieving holistic success. What's more powerful, a clinched fist or an open palm?

So many takeaways from this story. Find your own! One of mine is that what you seek is seeking you, if you are wanting something it means you've already found. Look within. Look harder. Look in the water.

Great quote from this show: “Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles” ― Thomas Browne

Audit your pebbles, look harder, seek the Acres of Diamonds.

Too much to cover here! If what you want isn't happening right now--I want it NOW--be open to the possibility that it's for your best interest, that something even better is shaping for you! Make this your core belief: Life always happens FOR me, not to me, and I'm open to God/Higher Power/Universe providing an opportunity for something even better (therefore different) than what I could envision for myself. My greatest good therefore, might not be what I think it is.

Also, your failures are either failures, or they are steps to success, to your success and YOU get to decide, you are the head coach.

Great quote from this show: The quote is from Jack London and reads: “I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather be a streaming meteor than a sleepy and permanent planet. I would rather burn out in a blaze of streaming glory than be stifled like dry rot. I shall use my time.”1Another version of the quote reads: “I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.”2
