Fabulous story, great messages

Just listened to the high performance podcast with Michelle Mone (who I'd never heard of before). Some great insights- with the key messages to life being, 1. You only get one life, live it 2. Expect frustration, upsets and challenges will be part of life but believe in yourself to overcome them. 3. Learn to love yourself, happiness is more important than money 4. Only care in what your friends and family think of you and seek positive people to be around. I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday

Best thing to happen to me all year

I have recently discovered the High performance podcast, I listen to an episode every morning and every evening on my commute. When I reach the last episode I will start from the beginning again because there is a golden nugget in each and every episode.

My commute is now my second favourite time of the day after greeting my kids at the door.

I have started to take 100% responsibility for everything that I do and that happens to me, I have found my real values and I make sure that every decision I make aligns with them, this has brought me fulfillment and happiness already after only a couple of weeks. It is invigorating and pushes me to fully engage in everything that I do.

This podcast is not only interesting and entertaining but it is inspirational and everyone can learn from every episode.

I will never waste another second of my life because if I am not busy doing something I will be listening to Jake and Damian.
