Episode 16 is the continuation of my conversation with Marcus Aurelius Andersen. In this episode we’ll be talking about: How do you handle stress/difficult situations, routines or habits, should people be afraid of failure and much more. Don’t miss it!
In this episode I asked Marcus Aurelius Anderson why is adversity a gift?
Adversity is a bitch slap from life and God. Adversity has a way of jolting you out of mediocrity and getting your attention. Sometimes you are gifted with adversity, this is the time when you have to embrace it, because this is a test – a test that if you pass, it will get you to the next level --- when you are pursuing great things, there are many levels you have to go through, and in every level you will be confronted with some type of adversity, you must pass the test to move up to the next level.
This is Episode 14. And for the first time, I have a guest, not just a guest, but someone who I deeply respect and appreciate. And let me tell you that when I met him, we had an instant connection as if we were brothers separated at birth. We have a weekly call every Wednesday and believe me, I look forward to these calls because we have so much in common; he’s a man of his word, he’s a man that does not utter empty words, he takes action and executes with a sense of urgency and above all, he considers adversity a gift.
Stress, depression and anxiety affects all, which is why more than ever before we find ourselves in search for inner peace. In this episode I am going to give you practical advice in how to obtain and keep your inner peace.
People get upset about things they have absolutely no control over; like a flight delay, the weather, a flat tire, an obnoxious coworker, etc. We need to write down a list of the things that upset us the most and figure out if these are things that we CAN control or things that we CAN’T control. Things we can control are the ones of our own doing. Things we can’t control are the ones NOT of our own doing.
Sacrifice is when we give up something valuable in order to gain something more valuable
You can’t be successful without making sacrifices. Life without sacrifices makes us selfish, soft and weak.
God whispers, so we need to be quiet to hear His voice. Quiet Time allows us the chance to sit in silence with our own thoughts and feelings. This is an amazingly important skill to develop, as the ability to quiet your mind has been shown to help regulate emotions and self-control. Quiet time also helps increase focus and attention, it resets our mind and gives us a chance to think things through and avoid becoming overwhelmed.
On this episode, I am talking about several things that bring us down, they are all connected. Fear brings negativity, anxiety, distrust, doubt and sometimes paralyzing fear, the kind of fear that makes people want to stop living. We’ll break it down for you and give you some actionable tips to implement right away.
In this episode we get serious about what’s important in our lives and for our soul.
Lay down on your bed and relax. Pretend you just died, what are your regrets? What would you fix or change? Are you focused on the most important things?
On this episode we will go over the steps required to answer this question; How do I fix myself?
In order to fix yourself, you have to get yourself right - you must make yourself the main focus. That's not to say that you will become a selfish person, but it means that your attention will be on yourself and the things that you need to do to make yourself whole again. --- We’ll go over on how to heal your wounds and be whole again by ditching all the baggage you’ve been carrying for so long.
In order for you to make a difference in this world, you need start with yourself, remember --YOU CAN’T GIVE WHAT YOU DON’T HAVE --
