Daily Boost — Motivation and Coaching

If you spend any time listening to me, it won’t take long before you hear me screaming from the top of the mountains to ignore the agenda and propaganda-filled world we live in and focus on yourself. Here’s the truth...Nobody is thinking about you and what you do. That means you need to pay attention to yourself because everybody else is busy with themselves.Some folks find that way of thinking difficult because society makes you believe you must do what everybody else does to be successful. But lets think about that for a minute.Is everybody more successful than you, or is everybody in the same boat?If you are being honest, you know the answer. So, who is more successful than you?It’s those crazy people that are out in front leading the masses. You know, the ones who paid attention to what they wanted, ignored what others thought, took action, and convinced everybody else to support them on their mission.Here’s another truth…Like they say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” But never forget, when you think about yourself first, you’ll have more time to think about others too. Get the Daily Boost Commercial-Free at https://dailyboostpremium.com.

When I was a baby DJ in broadcast school, I spent a lot of time learning the rules of journalism. While that subject fills books, almost everything we needed to know was -Who? What? When? Where? Why?If you know that information, you can tell a complete story.Years later, I re-arranged the formula for personal growth. Every time I set goals and consider a different direction, I ask -What? Why? When? Where? Who? Occasionally I need to ask HOW I will accomplish my goal - but that usually takes care of itself.Get the Daily Boost Commercial-Free at https://dailyboostpremium.com.

Are they dreaming of the future - and waiting for it to arrive?Any human would experience a combination of all three every day. That's normal as long as it doesn't get in the way of living.A decade and a half ago, my first wife passed away from Cancer. She was 46 and too young to die. I was too young to be a widower. My children are too young to lose their Mom.  While challenging, our family had an unconventional outlook on life - and death. Our goal was to make it the best death ever. Sadly, we achieved that goal. It was the strangest accomplishment any of us had ever experienced.After she passed, my daughter, Carlyn, wrote a poem that resonates to this day -Soon we'll all find our way.Soon we'll know what.Makes us who we are.Soon we'll wake up.Today, we can appreciate.Soon we'll know that.Tomorrow we'll be better.Soon we'll trust that everything's okay.That the past is gone.Can't hold us back.Soon we'll smile about today.Soon will come too soon.Don't let it slip away.Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future. Don't let it slip away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
