You Can Have Perfect Sight And No Vision - It Happened To Me Last week was challenging for me.  I've been seeking clarity on a couple of projects and business ideas, with little luck.  So like clockwork, the Universe stepped in and began to try to show me the way. I only say "try" because I can be a little, and sometimes she has to work overtime to get her message through my thick skull.  Her first three attempts were subtle and clear, but as I mentioned above, my thick skull sometimes prevents the delivery.  And because she knows I'm a visual learner, she did what only the Universe can do. She planted the message right in front of my face.  As you listen to the podcast, you hear about the following:  1. "Comparison Is the Thief of Joy" ~ Theodore Roosevelt 2. "Unhappiness Is Always Accompanied by Comparison." ~ Ed Mylett 3. How a young man with no sight gave me clarity on my vision - Thanks Jake @jakeolson61 I hope you gave some clarity and vision for yourself after liste

"Girl Eat A Cheeseburger"  In this episode, we talk about:  1. Passive Aggressive Compliments 2. Why People Get Uncomfortable When You Change 3. How to Handle Negative Comments 4. And More... I opted for the title of "Girl Eat A Cheeseburger" because it's an actual statement that was made to one of my clients who is on her weight loss journey.  And it happens all the time.  This topic - Passive Aggressive Compliments - from family, friends, and co-workers gets brought up by 75% of my clientele.  And TRUTH be told it actually has nothing to do with my client and everything to do with the insecurity of the person say it.  I HOPE you're not one of these people, but if you are, this is your opportunity to change.  This is your opportunity to understand how what you're doing is hurtful and detrimental to your relationship.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks for listening to the Thrive Forever Fit Show!

You've Been Lied To Again! Whoever said showing up is half the battle is full of shit.  The team that shows up but doesn’t perform still gets beat.  If you truly deserve all the things you’re daydreaming about you better stop wandering through life haphazardly.  You better get serious about your success and your efforts.  "You Can't Expect Extraordinary Results From Average Effort" Start living passionately and purposefully.  You deserve the best, but you’re gonna have to give your best to get it.  This will all lead me to discuss STANDARDS and how they dictate your success in life.  Your standards are your benchmarks for performance in all areas of your life. High standards equal high rates of return. Low standards equal a minimal existence and the acceptance of the average.  Today we will discuss and by discuss I mean I'm going to rant about WHY you should never lower your standards if you seak an amazing life.  Truth: Most people lower their standards

Are You Being Derailed By Your Default Settings?   In this episode, you'll learn how your default settings are getting in the way of you and your success.  What is a default setting?  Well in the world of technology (phones and computers) A default, in computer science, refers to the preexisting value of a user-configurable setting that is assigned to a software application, computer program or device. ... In many devices, the user has the option to restore these default settings for one or all options. In the human sense, it refers to your brain and your defaulted behaviors based on certain stimuli.  More simply stated you have been pre-programmed (your sub-conscience brian) with default reactions or behaviors. The majority of these defaults were programmed well before you become conscious of what was going on in the world.  Science states that few adults can remember anything that happened to them before the age of 3. Now, a new study has documented that it's about age 7 when

Stage Four 2 On Stage with Dylan Slattery LESS THAN 15% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.  DYLAN WAS NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE. Feeling a lack of purpose in his senior year of college, Dylan was suffering from depression and thoughts of suicide.  Following his first diagnosis with melanoma at age 22, Dylan had surgery that left him with a seven-inch scar down the right side of his face.  Falling into a deeper depression, Dylan ran from his demons, masking them with alcohol, drugs, food, and any other distraction he could find.  8 months later, he was involved in a fatal car accident where he lost a high school classmate and friend.

"God's Not A Wishing Well" ~ EC I love this line from Eric Church's new song - Why Not Me.  It goes right along with the theme of this podcast:  1. If You've Got A "Plan B" (Backup Plan) Then Your "Plan A" Is Destined To Fail - Quiet Now 2. Burn Your Boat If You Want To Succeed  3. What Would Happen If You Went All In?  After listening to this episode, you'll know exactly what happens when you go ALL IN.  What If You Went ALL In On You?  I'm not talking about for an hour, a day or even a week.  I'm talking about 100% ALL IN on being your best YOU in every area of your life.  Have you ever do that?  Can you imagine the impact it would have on you and everyone around you?  Can you imagine what life would be like?  Can you?  I can tell you for personal experience that the difference from being kinda in and ALL IN is drastically different.  When I stopped dipping my toe in the ocean of life and jumped in with both feet my life COMPLETEL

You And David Goggins Have This In Common  "YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING IT TAKES... BUT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO EVERYTHING IT TAKES?" That is such a simple yet powerful thought.  It's 100% true.  You have everything you need to do everything you desire.  Truth: There are people with LESS than you doing MORE than you right now.  Less money, less education, less skills, etc... But the one difference is they are willing to DO everything it takes.  Listen I get it. The doing is the hard part.  It's much easier to sit around and pontificate about all the things you're GOING to do.  But the act of actually doing, well that's no fun. Ok, I'm not here to bust your chops.  I’m here to help you.  So, let's do this, what if I gave you three simple actions you could start right now that would get you doing instead of thinking?  Would you be down for that?? AWESOME!  1. Believe that you have everything you need because it's true. And the TRUTH is if you

Will Your 2019 Be Abundant or Average? Listening To This Podcast Will Improve Your Odds Of Abundant By 92%    It’s that time of year again.  People are making resolutions, declarations and shouting from the rooftops that this year is going to be different.  The truth is that this year won’t be different. In all honesty, it’s probably going to be worse.  You most likely you’ll end 2019 in worse shape physically, emotionally and financially.  I know, you’re thinking "WTF Jay" you’re supposed to be Mr. Positivity.  Listen I’m not trying to be Debbie The Downer, but I can’t lie to you and tell you it’s all going to be better because you’ve set a goal.  You see less than 8% of ALL New Years Resolutions are achieved.
