Triggers happen whether we like it or not. The goal is to recognize that we are triggered in the present moment. We can learn from our poor reactions of the past to better be aware and in control of our actions in the present. #YMH5 Reach out to Phil Larson: phil@thestoryshop.tv PhilLarson.net @Phil_Larson thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 thestoryshop.tv/podcast YMH5 on Facebook Art by: http://bit.ly/ymh5art

Self-Growth is easier when we project ourselves into our future and connect our present self with that version. What we are doing now determines what that future self will look like. Are you becoming who you want to be? #YMH5 Reach out to Phil Larson: phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net @Phil_Larson | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 thestoryshop.tv/podcast Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5 Art by: http://bit.ly/ymh5art
We gain self-control through practicing moderation. Just try something different and see how you feel about it afterwards. Ask, "Who am I becoming." You can only control yourself.

In this special edition week of YMH5, we look in this episode 2 of 3 at empathy as both action and emotion that allows us to align our pain with the pain of others.

Getting caught up in our perfectionism can cause us to not act. Since it can't be perfect, why even try? If we take that route, we miss out on the lessons we could learn along the way. Besides, being perfect is overrated! #YMH5
Success is something that you get to define for yourself. There is no concrete definition. What we need to be careful of, however, is the cost of that success. Does achieving your definition of success come at the cost of other important goals? Appropriate balance is the key! #YMH5
