Success Comes Not in Spite of your Failures but because of Them

February 19, 2021 15:11 - 27 minutes - 15.6 MB

Hello sweet one.  Are you feeling down because you sense you have failed at something?   If so, do not allow it to hurt your your soul but rather celebrate in it for what you deem as a failure is in reality a stumble that allows you to gain the information you need to become a success.   Everyone who is successful today knows this to be true from such greats as Steven Spielberg  to Walt Disney to J.K. Rowling to even Jerry Seinfeld.   In fact, I remember personally when Jerry was consider...

A Checklist Free Day!

February 06, 2021 19:00 - 7 minutes - 3.54 MB

We all keep a checklist of things we need to get done.  On paper we might have our grocery list. On our cell phones we might track our daily health.  On our computer we might make note of appointments.  Mentally we have our bucket list. Why we even have a checklist to remind us to have some fun time with others or just by ourselves.  And while checklists are an important way to ensure we don’t forget any crucial dates or steps in a timely way, they have come to rule us.  Free yourself from c...

Hammer & Nails - are your words driving a stake through the hearts of others?

January 16, 2021 17:27 - 13 minutes - 9.21 MB

Hello sweet one. I hope you had a special day today as all days should be special. And sweet one, today I want to talk to you about the power of words.   We know through our own lives how words have such a powerful force on us that they can distort our sense of reality.  After all reality is what we perceive it to be and if our soul, our heart, our being is under continual attack by the negative of the world it can forever deconstruct us to a lesser version of ourselves in this new reality ...

Hello sweet one.  Letting go sometimes seems impossible.  It takes great courage to move forward with something from your past – regardless if you viewed it as something positive or something negative. In part because we are all a collection of our past experiences, memories actions and inactions. At times we wish we can reverse time to re-live or better an experience from our past that we believe will have an impact on our future. But in reality sweet one everyone happens exactly as it is s...

Hello sweet one.  A shiny penny is worth no more than one that has a bit of dirt on it - and in some cases it may be worth less as the one gazing at its beauty may forget to put it to good use and spend it on some needed item.  And this thought brings me to our story tonight.  I do hope you like it. #stag #bedtimestories #calm #podcast #sexy #story #fable #mentalhealth --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepowerofmetoday/message
