Saw a great post from someone who I’ve been connected to for a long time, Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) shares some things for the new year, but I think they can be used every day! Here is his post: “3 Keys to a Great 2025 1. Keep your Vision Alive-through adversity keep looking forward. 2. Stay Positive-when you hit setbacks believe the best is yet to come. Faith instead of fear. 3. Stay Connected-to your family and team. You are more powerful together than alone.” Again, with most advice for the new year, it’s good for every day too. So many connections to all 3 of these that got me fired up a bit and just keeping things like this going, that’s the key for all of us. Thanks for listening.

A fired up message that hit me right between the eyes and went straight to my heart from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) - A great example of people inspiring & encouraging other people as he did with me. He introduced this post with this: “A message for today … Life's challenges often push us to our limits but they can also serve as catalysts for growth & resilience. The process of coming together helps us rebuild & emerge stronger. It's in overcoming adversity that we truly discover our strength & potential.” We all have choices and this one got me very emotional as I was reading it during this recording. Hope this connects to you like it did for me. Thanks for listening.

Happy New Year! Here it is the start of Season 9 for my podcast, so first of all, thank you for being a part of my journey that has intersected with your journey. In my regular daily reading from the book “Arete” by Brian Johnson on page 339, he shares some very powerful (and for me emotional) information on our journey through life being a process and it’s not really a destination. It’s a great reminder to be thankful and appreciating the good in our lives and not taking those things for granted. (which sadly, I do plenty of times). I wanted to share this with you to start our 2025 out in a great direction (or whenever you listen to this episode), so I hope you can take something from this episode and plant it in good soil to grow all throughout this year and beyond!

I found a powerful poem from a post on Facebook that I wanted to share. It comes from a page called: “I’m going that way.” and this poem has some great reminders for all of us as to even if we are not okay, there are plenty of things that we are worthy of being. The poem brings up a few. I throw some of my own reflections into this and I know you can connect with these ways along with your own too. I mentioned a recent John O’Leary podcast where his guest shares a powerful story that fits into this too. Find the podcast: “A Father Learning to “Walk On” After the Tragic Loss of his Son: Stephen Panus” (ep. 736) by clicking on the link. Amazing and emotional story. On a less sad note, I do want to wish everyone a very happy New Year!! I’m looking forward to Season 9 for me and my podcast in 2025 along with many new & exciting things in my life. I hope you can say the same for your life too in the new year. Thank you all for listening to my show too. It means a lot to me for sure. Thanks for listening.

Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) reminds us that “Strong people don’t put others down, they lift them up.” It’s too bad that we don’t see this happening with most of our “leaders” in the world in various areas. It’s up to us to keep doing this to be the lessons for others. The world needs this. Thanks for listening.

Another great reminder, not only for the end of the year, but for us to make it a habit for every day. This one is brought to us by Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “One day you'll look back and realize you worried too much about things that didn’t matter.” This is something that of course as I get older, I see it with more clarity. The key is, age has nothing to do with it. There is no age requirement to see this as to pick up this lesson, and I encourage everyone to pick this up as soon as possible in your life.

Found some powerful & difference making points of having emotional intelligence. There are 12 of them, so I’m breaking them down into 4 parts. All of this comes from Always Keep Learning (@AlwaysKeepL) and it’s called “12 Real World Signs you're emotionally intelligent”. Emotional Intelligence is a very strong indicator for all of us to have a better life. This fourth and final set of three are recognizing being overwhelmed and stepping back, encouraging others to express emotions, even when it’s hard and the final piece is to let go of grudges and move forward without resentment. This was a great 4 part series of some very helpful life ideas about some valuable skills we all need to have. Thanks for listening.
