I'm back!After almost two years after recording my last episode, I am back. I wasn't quite sure if or when I would create another episode but here is a new one. I have spent the last two years enjoying fatherhood and being a husband, growing a candle business, and quitting my full time job. I felt it is time to come back and share my experiences to help anyone I can. I don't have a current structure of how many episodes I will record or how often they will come out but I think that will help with my perfectionistic tendencies. I am glad to be back and truly have missed you! As always remember to Breathe Motivation and Exhale Success!
A giant fear in life is to not live up to expectations. What if I am not good enough? What if I crash and burn? What if I am not liked? I am an imposter aren't I?
We are constantly looking for ways to not live our life by our standards. This comes from fear of selfishness, lack, and vision. You have made it this far in life, why not get what you want instead of living in pain. You will only go as far as you are willing to see.
What steps will you take to live your best life? You are your choices you make. Trust yourself enough to make your choices the best for you.
Are you living or just existing ? The world is your oyster but we often get stuck in patterns of just existing. The intent of life is to live it on purpose. How do you do that? Find out how on this episode of Breathe Motivation.

As a kid my dream was to become the President of the United States. I thought it would be the best way to bring positive change to the world. We can all learn from our dreams as children. We all had what seem like outrageous dreams now but we should live life now without that fear of our dreams being too big. This episode dives into the idea of chasing our dreams and making them a reality.

Belief is a powerful thing.
Most of your beliefs were ingrained onto to you by your relatives and those you were closest with. Even today, you are who you surround yourself with. The events this week are terribly tragic and we have to do better. The problem with society right now is that everyone has an opinion but no one is listening. We are not working to come up with solutions. The system is rigged.
Fear is a powerful tool and it is ruling us. Racism is alive and well. Wecontinue to fan the flames because we are afraid to let go of who we are. We are comfortable. We get defensive because we think everyone is out to get us. We need to stop being selfish this is bigger than just your or my opinion. We are upset because we have to open our eyes to others pain and anger. It’s inconvenient. We are too quick to judge without walking in others shoes. We will never understand the others side if we refuse to take down our walls and open our hearts and minds to the issue of human rights. We should all be treated equally and until we decide to get uncomfortable and work towards change we will continue this same path.
This is not something that has just happened overnight. This is generational. The battle has always been white vs. black, republicans vs. democrat, male vs. female. It’s always two parties pitted against one another to divide a society. We are better than this.
We are being diverted from the real issue. The real issue is empathy and compassion for yourself and others. It is ok to break from the beliefs that were passed along to you through your life. It is scary to stray away from who you believe yourself to be but it is scarier if you aren’t willing to open your mind to what others are experiencing. We need to love one another and work together, not against each other.
If you want to make a change, it all begins with you. What you choose to do from here is what will make a difference or not. Don’t wait on others to make the change. It will never happen if you do.

Happy Thanksgiving! Wow, what an amazing journey this has been! I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to share a message of growth and positivity. We have grown so much together. I look forward to coming back with a show that is going to be better for you based on your feedback on our survey results. I will be taking a brief break to get my thoughts together. I am grateful for the journey that is Breathe Motivation and I will return with content that will be better. Thank you for your patience as I get my creative mind together. Feel free to reach out to me at anthonyhester@breathemotivation.com. You are the best! Remember to Breathe Motivation and exhale success.
When you have a dream or goal, you have to get specific. There are no ifs or buts about it. Many people become frustrated because that goal or dream is never fully realized because it was specific. We are unable to really chase after those dreams or goals because they are general. How bad do you really want it if you aren't specific?
Over the last 137 episodes, we have grown a lot together. We have created a wave of positivity that will continue to move on. Right now we are moving into an exciting period. I am going to be taking a short break to recharge the show and create the content that you asked for based on the surveys and social media. The break will begin after Episode 140. This is not goodbye, this is a see you soon. I look forward the new things to come.
If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Many of us have trouble being nice to ourselves. We are very tough on ourselves and need to be able to love ourselves and embrace the greatness within. Be positive and see positive.
Your attitude towards life is what determines how great it will be. You should always be aware of what it looks like. You are fully capable of creating greatness. Life is in your control. You are a winner or a loser based on your thoughts.
In life, we need to take time to recharge our batteries and find ways to collect our thoughts. Take time to gain clarity on what works and what doesn't work and make things happen.
Many of us feel that we get started in life too late to find success. The idea creates excuses for us and really wears our positive mindset out. We need to understand that we are never too old to chase after our goals and dreams. Take the opportunities you are given and make great things happen.
One of the most important things to know in life is that we are all human. We need to know that we can enjoy life and the challenges that are presented to us. If life throws you a curve ball it is ok to determine the things that you will or will not tolerate out of the situation. Remember that we are all human and we will get better.
Regret is something that no one wants to live with. Fear is a big reason why we don't chase our dreams. Do you want to look back 30 years from now and be upset that you didn't follow through the end?
The fire burns brightly in you. You determine how big that fire is. Do you believe in yourself? Do you want to be great? You get to decide the answer to these questions. What is amazing is you are full of abilities that can create a great life for you. Decide what you want out of life and go after it no matter what.
Humility has a way of making life great. We journey through life in a society that embraces arrogant people. There is an infatuation with these types of people. What I have found is that life is a lot better when being grateful for what we have. We can enjoy life and be grateful and continue to have humility.
Life is meant to be simple. We often overcomplicate it and forget to have fun. Whether that is laughing at your own joke, getting a hug, walking on the beach, or finishing a book, we need to enjoy the simple things. We are in full control of our attitudes and thoughts. Allow yourself to be loose and enjoy life on a whole new level.
It's time that you start believing in you. You have the ability to love you for you. Embrace who you are and know that you are enough. Decide that you do not need others validation to be the best you. Enjoy life each day and know that it will always work in your favor.
From a young age, we are told what to do. Society has created a path that is considered the norms. When people stray from that path they often are called weird or are judged. It is time that you let go of the thoughts and the feelings that others place on you. No one gets to decide what your life should be except you. You are in full control of your life. Decide to do what you want and make things happen the way you want.

Get out of the way! That's what I think of when I set goals. We need to take action and take charge instead of waiting for some magic to happen. Procrastination is a tough thing that gets in the way of success. We need to know how to set priorities on the most important things we are want to accomplish. Take action and face your challenges and you will find success.
Momentum is amazing. It helps propels people to success every day. You have the opportunity to find your way to the top of the momentum wave. The biggest key is to start moving because the action is what creates the wave. Begin creating your momentum today, begin now, and see the greatness unleashed.
Enjoy the journey. Life is such an amazing gift. Many of us look for shortcuts in life which often times lead to us becoming very frustrated in the long run. We forget to look at the big picture and often wish for quick success. What we find out is by taking the shortcut we miss out on the knowledge that will lead us to consistent greatness. Remember that nothing good ever comes from taking the easy route in life.
Life is too short not to have fun. Take it from me, I used to live life stiff. I never enjoyed things and always felt I had to live life by everyone else's rules. One day I decided that I was going to loosen up and have fun. It is never too late to make that decision. Get out today and do something that is fun. Challenge yourself to live life and enjoy every second of it.
Slow down! Don't let life pass you by. Often times we are driven by results and take life too seriously. We don't enjoy the beauty of our surroundings. We need to enjoy the time we have because that time is precious. Focus on the understanding of life and the greatness it offers for us.
It is time to understand that we must dive deep into our world. We are so focused on things that may not matter. Life is all about discovery of ourselves. We get a chance to be great and see ourselves as champions.
Join us today as we interview Kyle Edminson, the founder and lead interviewer of Lonestar Hustle. We are very excited for Kyle to share his story.

Progress is made every day. No matter how big or small that progress is we have to know it is working. Often times we focus on all the things we haven't accomplished. We need to remember to get back to allowing ourselves to have fun and enjoy the journey. We will get better as a whole and we will accomplish our goals if we stop being so hard on ourselves.
Caution! Sometimes we are going to feel lost. When we feel lost we can go down a deep dark path that feels lonely. We need to understand that we are not alone in the feeling of being lost. We constantly battle this feeling but the best way to win is getting back to the present. Many people look to the future to try to escape the lost feeling and dig themselves further.
It is time to stop playing the games in our head. We are always playing ourselves. It is important to find that we can be successful by silencing our mind. We can be our own worst critics and this is never effective in the long run. We must decide to win and change our overall perspective.
Life can be challenging. Often times we look for the path of least resistance. We see examples of getting rich quick and reality tv in which people find quick success. Most of the time they do not show the hard work that it takes to attain the success. Hard work and dedication is what leads to success. Take time to get what you want.
Sometimes in life, we get our butts kicked. We expect things to go a certain way and it doesn't go as planned. Many times we look to retreat and give up on what we want. We have to know that we will rise above the challenges and find the success.
Standards are something we often overlook. Many times we believe that we have to set our standards low to gain things in life. What we don't understand is that we are capable of setting high standards and getting what we want. Our lives are better, the people we surround ourselves with are better when we have higher standards.

Your thoughts are what your life is. The way you set out to live is determined by you and the life you want to live. Many times we are taught to live the life that was presented by our examples such as parents and teachers. These people have influenced our decisions and have potentially shown us where we are today. Yo have the power to shift your focus to something different and become who you have always wanted.
Selfish is a word that has taken on a negative feeling. There are many people who give that word a rightful meaning by being self-absorbed and out for themselves. There are many reasons why we need to take some time to look out for ourselves. Many people struggle with giving all of themselves to help others and often forgetting they exist as people too. Evaluate where you are and know that it is ok to take care of yourself.
Perspective plays a large role in our lives. Many people have different sets of ideas and feel very strongly about them. What you can learn is that many of those same ideas are the same as yours but is said in a different way. Take time to really hear what people are saying and you will be surprised how much other people may be saying the same thing but have different ways to communicate it.
When it comes to accomplishing your goals you have to do it for you. Many times we are looking for outside influences to really push us towards the goal but we have to do it ourselves. It is time that we decide we are doing something because that is what we want. We are full of opportunities and we will grow once we accept that we will achieve our goals because we want to.
Often times we think that others may have better lives than us. We think that their lives are filled with greatness and that they live a perfect life. We get caught up in the idea that others lives are perfect. This can become dangerous thinking because we fail to look at the great things we have in life. Sometimes others lives aren't quite what it looks like on the outside and people may have struggles that you would ever know.
Perfection is something most people want. Many people think that being perfect will solve all of their problems. In reality, this is far from the truth. Many people drive themselves crazy thinking they can be perfect. They strive for something that is far out of reach for all of us. We have to accept that we all have flaws and know that we will always be imperfect. Embrace who you are and live the best life you can.
We are very excited to start our Wednesday Interview Series with Wesley Chapman. You may know his story but if you don't you will gain a new perspective on life after you hear it. Wesley has gone through some difficult circumstances but has come out on top. Wesley has decided that he is going to help others " Put the victim to bed, and wake the hero instead. He is committed to helping others get through challenging situations and continues to do that through his work with children and adults. I hope you are ready for this amazing interview.

Sometimes in life, we need to try new things. By doing new things we may discover something that we love and can lead us to a better life. Many people feel that they often times are restricted to the life they live now. This is far from the truth. Take time to try something new. You won't regret it.
Burnout happens to everyone. What causes burnout? Most of the time it is a lack of focus or a lack of goals. We have to be focused on what drives us to success. If we don't like doing something, we need to stop doing it. Many people are scared to change something because they fear that they may make the wrong decision. Its time to overcome the fear of change and focus on fighting burnout.
Today we revisit the 7 Key Principles of Breathe Motivation. These steps were created and used by Host Anthony Hester to help him find his purpose in life. You have the ability to find success in your life. You have to choose to take action and go after what you want. You can do whatever you put your mind to.
Be Bold
Rule Your World
Exceed Your Expectations
Attack Your Purpose
Take Control
Harness Your Dreams
Embrace Change
Being reliable is a must. Before you can be reliable for others you must first be reliable to yourself. Reliable people tend to be more clear on decisions, confident, honest, and feel free. You are in full control of what you can and want to do for people. Know that being reliable doesn't always mean you have to say yes to everything people ask of you. You can focus on getting better with reliabilty and you will have a greater relationship with others and your self.
It can really be tough to be vulnerable. It is scary to open yourself up to others and not knowing what response you will get. I struggled for a long time to be able to open up to others. I felt that if I opened up to others I would be weak. Know that there is no weakness in being vulnerable. Vulnerability can help free you and help others understand you.

You are where you are supposed to be. I hated hearing that a few years ago. I didn't understand it and really found out years later that it is true. What you will find is that you will learn lessons and they will lead you to success later. The lessons you learn are priceless and you will thank yourself later when you are able to solve things quicker because of the journey you are on.
Relationships are decided by us. We decide who is in our lives and how they treat us. Many times we feel that this aspect is out of our hands. We allow people to treat us good or bad. When we give up the control of how others will treat us, we often lose ourselves because we rely on their every word. We must have respect for ourselves and not allow people to treat us wrong. Decide to have great relationships and you will have great relationships.
In life, we will all be met with difficult times. It is up to us to determine how long those times will last. What I do know is that if we focus on taking action to get out of the difficult times they will pass quickly. We need to focus on the positive outlook on life and face negativity head-on. You are made to pass through difficulty and you will.
It is time to stop seeking validation from others. You must find it from within. You are truly better than you think. Stop focusing on negative thoughts and find the positives you have. No matter what belief you have in your self you have to tell yourself that you are good enough for you.
Complacency is a bad place to be. When we get comfortable with the success we are having often times we lose sight of our goals. We need to continue to challenge ourselves daily. We do not want to put on blinders and lose focus of our big picture goals.
Decisions are what creates the life around us. We have the choice to decide what we want life to be. Many time we look at decisions as good or bad. What we need to do is not judge our decisions until we have realized the true outcome of them. Sometimes the bad decisions we thought we made turn out to be the best ones. So don't be so quick to judge and enjoy the journey.
Where has all of the compassion gone? We need to stand up as a society and love one another. We are so focused on the negative things that we have gotten a little out of touch with reality. It is important for us to understand one another and become a better person out of it.
We have to know that the challenges we have faced have only made us stronger. When we doubt ourselves we need to remind ourselves that we are powerful. You are capable of uncovering the greatest you by standing up to the challenge of life. Get what you want out of life and use the lessons life has given you as strengths.
Visualization is a big reason for success and failure. Many of us are not taught how to visualize what we want in life. If we visualize what we want, we can make it come to life. You have to have a belief that you already have these things and act as though it is already yours. Take time to learn about visualization and you will find great success.
In life, it is easy to become distracted. We have to focus on the things that we want in life. In today's world, we are flooded with information and distraction. You get notifications every few minutes on your phone. You have to be able to set yourself up for success. Take time to set up your day so you can prepare to minimize distraction.
Teamwork is essential to growth. Success is often based whether we can communicate effectively. We must decide that we can join and bring the best of us to all teams. When we are all in on a team, we will find great success because we have bought into the ideas.
Sometimes all you have to do is relax. Often times we find ourselves overworking and on our way to burnout. We need to take some time to just let our thoughts go. Your mind needs to rest a little. You can not be running at full speed all of the time. Stop feeling guilty and allow your self to take a break every once in a while.
Average is something that most people don't want. Many people find themselves becoming complacent. They allow themselves to get caught up in the idea of being comfortable. If you want to find success, you should surround yourself with successful people. You should challenge your thoughts. Find ways to make your success come true.
Self-image is important. Confidence in one's self is a big driver of success. We must change our mind track to positive thinking and belief in ourselves. Learn how to focus on your inner self and find peace in how you see your self and your imperfections.
Often times we are our own worst enemies. We are focused on the things that aren't going right. This distracts us from accomplishing our goals. We have to focus on our strengths. We need to change the negative talk track in our minds to positive. We are stronger and better than we think we are.
Enthusiasm is what brings opportunity. When you enjoy the things you do, you will find peace. You have to love the things that make you happy and continue to follow them to success. Enthusiasm is contagious. Help to spread it.
Most people depend on others to help them along the way. Most people look to others support to feel that they are doing things right. It is time that you start depending on your own opinions and feelings. You are in control of your life. You should be able to do things even when others don't believe or back what you are doing. Believe in your growth and you will find success.
Commitment is a scary word for most people. The word is a powerful word. Many people feel that commitment is scary because they feel that they will fail at what they are committing to. Commitment can mean there is a lot of work that goes into it. Well I can tell you successful people commit and get what they want. Decide if that is what you want. What are you waiting for?
Time is our most valuable asset. No matter what we do, we can never gain it back. We need to be able to take advantage of the time we have. We need to stop thinking about worries, failures, and our past. We should begin focusing on growth and development. Spend time wisely. Don't waste it.
It is impossible to get what you want if you always compare your life to others. We must be able to find success within. We have the capability to do whatever we want if we just focus. Positive thoughts and ideas create positive momentum for your success. If you are going to compare your life with anyone it should be yourself.
Stop settling for less than you deserve. Many times we are living lives that we are less than happy with. We often forget to realize what we deserve. We are worth more than we think we are. It is time to look yourself and the mirror and decide today to take action in getting what you want.
Have you ever woken up and realized you weren't living the life you wanted? Well, many people do this and don't realize that is what they are doing. It is time to wake up and chase your dreams. We often times hold ourselves back from accomplishing the very life we want. So today that stops and we chase our dreams relentlessly and we find success.
How many of you are guilty of trying to fix someone? I know I have been. Many times we look to fix others and guess what they don't want to be fixed. It is important to know that the only person you can fix is yourself. Decide what you like and don' t like and change it. You are in full control of your life and no one else's. Guess what the minute you are in tune with yourself the better your life will be.
Opportunity is something we should always look for. Life is full of them. We often miss out on opportunities because we often are distracted by things that don't matter. You need to understand that taking action in life you will create opportunities naturally. So decide to take action and watch the opportunities come your way.
Success is something we are always building. We must remain focused on our goals and aspirations. We must make sure that we are never satisfied by having little bits of success. This leads to us becoming complacent and not working as hard to accomplish our goals. You can be successful but you should always continue to work hard towards success.
Confidence is a big key to success. In order to succeed, you must believe in what you do. You have to have faith that you can accomplish anything. Don't be afraid of success, embrace it. Know that what you put your mind to you can and will accomplish. Confidence is the driver of your action towards success.
Living life is a whole lot easier if you know your why. We have to be able to understand what drives us to success. Many people will spend their lives searching for their why and maybe never find it. You have to be able to understand who you are and what you want to go after it. Focus and determination in your goals and dreams will always lead to growth. Take ownership of your life and find your why.
People are always wanting to add commentary to others lives. Some people want to spread positivity, while others will spread negativity. It is important to understand that not everyone will cheer you on. Thats when you have to decide to ignore the noise. Don;t ever let someone crush your dreams or goals. Your voice is always louder.
Energy is an important tool to success. You should always be aware of where you are putting your energy. Positivity energy creates positivity energy. When you decide that you have total control. You no longer rely on others to give you a boost.
Why are we so afraid to live our lives? We are often trapped by the thoughts of other peoples judgement of us. Let me tell you a little secret most people don't know who you are and most people don't care what you do. Enjoy your life the way you want to.
Accountability can be a scary thing. When most people hear that word they all assume that it is negative. What we don't understand is that by holding ourselves accountable, we can prosper. We are full of ability to create great things from what we learn. We must be able to trust ourselves and know that we will create success by being honest with ourselves.
It is time to get up and fight for your beliefs and values. Many people are often scared to share their beliefs. No one wants to come across as different. I will tell you it is ok to be different. Your opinions and beliefs matter. Find the confidence within to share and you will be surprised what happens. Many people may actually gain value from what you share.
Often times we look to others for what we want to accomplish. We overlook that we have the power within ourselves to succeed. The goal in life is to become the best version of you. This is all going to depend on your thoughts and confidence about yourself. Remember you are fully capable of becoming the best you.
Practice makes perfect. We often forget that we need to be able to practice our skills to get better. Our skills grow more when we focus on making them stronger. When you first learn to walk you stumble and fall. It is the same when you first begin to ride a bike. When you practiced these you got a lot better. It is the same as when you are an adult. You get better when you practice. Don't get discouraged, greatness takes time to develop.
The journey to greatness begins within. We are all a part of a journey in life. We all have the opportunity to learn and develop. The journey is something that we all should embrace.
