no bad karma: live and love intentionally

you can't move forward without looking back

It's a new year and a new you!  As you set your goals for the new year, you probably found yourself "looking back" at some point.  That's okay.  Looking back is an essential part of moving forward.  Are you doing it right?

heart. head. gut. or... the universe will tell you.

"Trust your heart."  "Do whatever you think."  Or, "trust your gut."  How many times have you heard those expressions?

Or, worse yet, how many times has the universe put you in check with a hard lesson and you've screamed, "I should have trusted my gut!!!"

Why don't we listen to our internal voices - our heard, head, gut - more often?  Because a lot of times, listening to them means a change... a hard and usually painful change.  But.  That hopefully short-term pain is for a long-term gain.

Truth is, if you don't listen - the universe will speak to you - the universe WILL tell you - and the lesson will be much harder.

Here's some songs that come to mind for me - it's a collaborative playlist - add yours! the Spotify episode playlist for: heart. head. gut.

what do you want to be known for? part 2 of 2

What do you want to be known for?  Guess what?  Doesn't matter.  It's not up to you.  But it IS dependent upon your choices every day.

what do you want to be known for!? (pt 1 of 2)

What do you want to be known for?  Ever think about it?  In general (to humanity), to others (partner, kids, parents, co-workers, volunteer organizations, etc.), and to yourself?  What do you know inside about you that YOU want to be known for?

And.  Work.  At work... in volunteer orgs... it might be something a little more specific.

the struggle is real. manifesting change. deleting your apps.

The struggle is real.  It's also relative.  But until you embrace that struggle, you won't begin the process of manifesting change.  And you won't complete that process until you're deleting your apps and showing commitment.

instacarting for thrivival - pt 3: always be 5 stars

If you were going to rate your peformance today as a person...  how many stars would you give yourself?  5-stars?  4?  1?  How would other people in your life rate you?  What about when you're doing something you don't really want to be doing?  Imagine for a minute you are a professional, but you find yourself being an #instacartshopper to make ends meet?  Why try your best?  Why not just get by?  Truth is, you need to #givewhatyouwant if you want to #getwhatyougive.  Hear my thoughts on today's episode of the #nobadkarma #podcast where i talk about why i bother to be a 5-star #instacart shopper.

instacarting for thrivival - pt 2: beg? borrow? steal? earn.

What would you do to survive?  Beg?  Borrow?  Steal?  How about earn?  How bad to things have to get before you'll work a job that you don't want to do?  What kind of job are you willing to do?  Mow lawns?  Flip burgers?  I remember when my parents divorced, my dad would work his regular job as a butcher 40 hours a week, then paint houses in the evenings and on weekends.  Today, maybe... he'd become an #instacartshopper ???  Like me!  Today's #nobadkarma #podcast episode tells the story of how I ended up instacarting for thrivival.  #surviveorthrive #givechoicespurpose

work. work ethic. working together. doing the work.

did you every think about how a work experience defined not just your career, but your life?  my musings on how an early job at a campground defined me professionally, as to the type of people i want in my life, and what i want (have) in a partner.  #nobadkarma #givechoicespurpose #podcast #work #workethic #professionaldevelopment #selfimprovement
