Momentum Freight Train
Have you ever found yourself stalled?I had big plans a few years ago, and nothing was moving forward. When I said nothing, others didn't seem to get the memo that I was on a mission. We've all been in situations where nobody will return your call. Your email gets ghosted. You can't seem to get support or commitment for your future world-saving plans.That's what happened to me and caused me to decide to create my momentum. I called it my "Momentum Freight Train." My first use of my new mindset was to get my future wife to take our relationship more seriously. Everything was going great - but not fast enough for me. So, before our next date, I said to myself -"I'm not going to wait for permission. I'm going to build my life, no matter what. If she doesn't join me, I'll ride my momentum to someone who will."It's important to understand that creating your momentum is not negative thinking. On the contrary, people notice attractive energy - and she did.I was off and running with my commitment, and Joi and others didn't take long to realize they had better get on board before my train left the station.Everything good begins with YOU. There's no need to wait for others. Create your momentum, and others won't be able to stay away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dealing With Any Crisis
Dealing With Any CrisisWhen I fly little planes, everything is about safety. When things go wrong, I have a simple rule:Fly the plane. Navigate the plane. Communicate with somebody who can help.The same applies to life.When things get challenging, most folks go directly to asking for advice. What they get is -“Tell me what is happening in your life. Where are you? What’s going on?”If you don’t have control of the basics, it’s difficult for anybody to help.The next time life gets wild, keep flying your “Life Airplane,” and do your best to navigate the obstacles to a safe situation. In other words, keep control of what you have so you don’t lose it. Then reach out for help.--------------------Visit our website - https://motivationtomove.comJoin BOOST Coaching - https://motivationtomove.comDownload the Perfect Week Planner - https://perfectweekplanner.comSchedule a 60-Minute Coaching Session - https://motivationtomove.com/60-minute-coaching/Join our Facebook Group - https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Why You Should Act 16 Again
Why You Should Act 16 AgainGrowing up sure can get in the way of your dreams. It’s sad how so many goals get pushed aside for daily responsibilities. Think about this -When you were 16, the only freedoms you enjoyed were what your parents allowed. When you grow up, you have total freedom and complete control.If you could live today like you were 16, it might look like this -You would go to school and educate yourself.Your friends would be real friends. Not just people you met at the office.You would dream about your future.You would be excited about what was to come in life.You wouldn’t be allowed to drink. Your mind would be clear.You would embrace having fun for the fun of it.You couldn’t and wouldn’t get in debt.You would sleep—a lot.The job you have today would have felt like a prison. Does it?You would busy yourself all day with LIFE.You don’t have to be 16 again. But imagine how much fun you could have if you knew then…what you know now… and used it all today? --------------------Visit our website - https://motivationtomove.comJoin BOOST Coaching - https://motivationtomove.comDownload the Perfect Week Planner - https://perfectweekplanner.comSchedule a 60-Minute Coaching Session - https://motivationtomove.com/60-minute-coaching/Join our Facebook Group - https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.
