We all go through many changes throughout our life & some of them can of course be scary. When I find things like this one, from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie), it reminds me about the importance of connecting with others to help us get through the challenges we all face. Mark reminds us that “Growth throughout the chapters in our life implies the reality that we must travel out of our comfort zone. As you move outside it, what was once the unknown & frightening becomes your new normal. The hardest thing to do is leaving your comfort zone.” I found as I was reading this post of his and the other part that went with it, there were waves of emotions that came over me. He brings up the connection we have to our previous versions of ourselves and I was instantly reminded of the fact that previous versions of myself are with me all the time. Not only can I lean on those versions of me, but I can still learn from them, since each previous version of myself is still with me today!! I am even reminded that the same (in part) are the versions of others still with me. My ancestors are still riding in my “car of life” along with current people in my life too. Big shoutout to my brother Dr. Jeff Lip for reaching out the other day. I needed that phone call for sure! Thanks for listening.

Simple message today. Not easy to do I guess since I’m still working on this today and all throughout my life. From, Self-Care Canvas (@selfcarecanvas) brings us this powerful thought (for me it actually is more like a punch in the gut). “If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse.” I’m being honest in reflecting about many excuses I’ve made, all throughout my life. Really since as far back as I can remember as a kid, way back in elementary school, I’ve gotten used to making excuses. All I can do now is to work on making better choices (like I brought up in the previous episode) just a little bit more often every day. Thanks for listening.

Again… so many things out there to pick up to add value to your life and what you want to do - here is another example. Found this recently from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) " Everything you do is going to impact your future. So eliminate as many things that don't matter and focus on the things that really do. And, make those matter all the time." - Coach Tom Crean. This reminds everyone that your future is built by your choices. Make the right choices to increase your chances of success. A key for me is to realize that this works for me now at my age and it also works for anyone, of any age, at any time. Another important factor - we all have the choice to do what we want to do. A choice as to what to focus on, each and every day! I know I need to keep working on my choices that I make every single day!! Thanks for listening.
