Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it. In other words, teach your children to operate within their natural strengths.

When you know WHY you’re doing something, it’s much easier to stick with and follow through on. Think back to the subjects in school that you hate, most likely you can’t see any reason WHY you should do it, or WHY you would ever need to use it in life (trigonometry). But when you can see the WHY, like knowing that workouts translate directly to results and success on the playing field, it’s much easier to stick with it through the hard things. It’s the same with life, when you feel you have a purpose, your WHY, things just flow for you. It doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, or that you’ll enjoy every aspect of it. But it DOES mean that you can see where you’re headed, rather than just blindly charging ahead through life. Your WHY is the measuring stick you hold up to everything in your life. “Should I take this job”, “should I move to this city”, “should I get married to this person”, etc. All you have to do is measure that against your WHY, and it will give you instant clarity on your path forward.

To cultivate an attitude of gratitude, we have to take time from our busy day and remember to give thanks for all the blessings that keep coming our way on a daily basis. Gratitude keeps us focused on what we have rather than all the things we don't have, which keeps us in a victim mentality.

One of the biggest “Keys to Life” I know of is learning how to say “NO”. One trait of IMPACTFUL people is that they want to make a difference whenever, wherever, and however they can. Too often the thing that goes along with this is the propensity to say “yes” to every opportunity that comes up. Always remember, that saying yes to one thing, is saying no to something else. And that something else may just be the thing you SHOULD be saying yes to. Don’t be afraid to prioritize the things that are important to you. Don’t let someone else make their problems your problem, and force you to say “yes” just because they “need” your help. Learn to recognize when an opportunity is right, and say yes to those things, and no to the things that aren’t right for you. Say yes to more of the things that “light you up”. Learn how to say “no”.

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.” – Norman Vincent Peale“Life is like a game of chess. To win you have to make a move. Knowing which move to make comes with IN-SIGHT and knowledge, and by learning the lessons along the way. We become each and every piece within the game called life!” Allan RufusThe key to success is ACTION!!

Today's "Key to Winning at Life" comes from Amy Dingman of a https://afarmishkindoflife.com (Farmish Kind of Life) podcast. Key to Life: Don’t Be the Smartest Person in the RoomWhile it’s great for your confidence (and your ego!) to be the smartest person in the room, it also tends to stagnate your learning. Because when you’re the smartest person in the room, what more is there to learn there?I think it’s important to continually learn along the journey of life, and in order to keep learning, you have to be okay with being the person who doesn’t know something. Be okay with not knowing. Admit that you don’t know and then purposely seek out spaces and communities that can teach you something new.At some point, you might become the person that others look towards as a teacher, and that’s great! Be willing to teach others what you know, but also be willing to spend time in a different room – the one where you aren’t the smartest person, and in fact might be the person who has the most to learn.Follow Amy on all the socials: https://www.instagram.com/farmishkindoflife/ https://flote.app/user/amyandallthethings https://mewe.com/i/amydingmann Check out the https://teencatalyst.com/tcfsevent (Teen Catalyst father/son camping event) happening June 24-26.

Today I'm speaking with Nancy Pickard about uncovering limiting beliefs, stepping outside our comfort zone to grow and challenge ourselves. Learning that the juice is in the journey and not just in the end game is a game changer. Becoming growth minded and resilient. Nancy Pickard is a Certified Integrative Coach through The Ford Institute for Transformational Training and the Levin Life Coach Academy. She is a certified coach of many flavors. Prior to her work as a coach, she owned and operated a personal training gym. She knows what it takes to help people achieve big goals. She holds multiple personal training certifications and has focused on health and wellness for almost 20 years. Her path towards coaching was a natural evolution—she has a BS in Psychology and an MS in Education. In 2017, she traveled alone in Thailand and Vietnam and undertook her biggest challenge, climbing Kilimanjaro at the age of 61. Coaching others to step out of fear and into bigger versions of themselves is her passion. What we discuss: What is a growth mindset and how does one cultivate that? What is a shadow belief and how does it hold us back? How does one move forward when they are afraid? How does someone learn to let go of resistance and move in to surrender? What does it mean to become the observer and not the reactor? How does one set heathy boundaries?

Today's key to winning at life comes from none other than my sister, Sara. Her key is, take time to rest and recharge. Here's the confession: I've really, really struggled with burnout! And it wasn't until a month or so ago that it clicked! I was reading an article for moms, and the author made the comment, "You can't pour from an empty cup." And I cried! I was trying to do so much on my own strength, and it was impossible. There is a reason God commanded us to rest! We were not designed to take all of the stress of life on ourselves. We HAVE to rest and fill up our strength of mind and body so we can keep going for our loved ones and our own passions and interests! Since then, I've been making more of an effort to take more guilt free rest periods so I can give my family the Mama and Wife they need. ~ SaraDon't forget to sign up for the Teen Catalyst father/son camping event.
