What if you could direct every day and truly create your best life? Do you believe that’s possible? Do you know anyone that is currently doing that? Are you currently doing that? I believe you are, to the best of your ability. Do you know anyone that gets up every day and consciously decides not to have their best life? It may look like it. I believe they may just not be aware that it could be different or have given up on a greater purpose or have never decided to have one. With so many distractions pulling us all in a gazillion directions, one of the greatest challenges of our time, and also the greatest opportunity, may be to truly become our best selves. How can you best give of yourself to provide the most value to others and truly be fulfilled? In our age of the internet and instant access to almost everything, we get the opportunity to add value just by putting something out there for millions to see. We also can so easily be pulled into everyone else’s life while unconsciously ignoring our own. I want to challenge you to live out your best ‘what if…’ today. You do get to direct today, although you may not currently feel like you are in control of all of it. You can develop your ability to direct your mind and how you think about your day. This is a skill and a practice. How do you start your day? One of the best, if not the best books on the subject of starting your day is The...

The beauty of that question is that whatever it is you are seeking, you will get answers for. When you decide to show up, you’ll get what you intend to get. If the cause of the Youth Suicide Prevention Program is something that resonates with you, you’ll get value no matter what, because you are contributing. I love what Kyle Cease states so well, made popular in the movie Adaption, and lyrics in a Fall Out Boys tune with Elton John, “You Are What You Love, Not What Loves You.” I’m not really sure where it originated, but it speaks to me in a world looking for validation and the need to be right. You have all it takes to be in this moment what you were designed to be. When you focus on what you love, there’s no room for worrying about what loves you, or if you’re accepted, making the right decisions, failing, etc. Join thought leaders as they share what they love, their perspective on being successful in the moment and living on purpose. The theme for the day is from Danny Win’s Super Shooz series that includes a song for each step in between each speaker. You won’t leave the same. ONE thought can change the trajectory of your life. Are you curious enough to join us? May 7th is your day. Sign up now: #ThatCuriosityThing.com...

We live in a society that focuses on the winners and our human nature tends to make us want to avoid mistakes or looking bad. We’ve likely all heard the stories that now seem cliche of Michael Jordan, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison all failing their way to success, but what about us? What if you just accepted bad? I’m not talking about Breaking Bad, I’m talking about being okay with bad. How about for the next presentation, project or task that you’ve possibly been putting off until greatness you decided just to be bad …and okay with it? I’ve had many Toastmaster presentations that I’m sure kept the audience grimacing, …and I’ve heard a few. Then I see the progress! I challenge you to step into your badness today! Through this you’ll discover that you truly are a badass! Join some badass presenters who have embraced their badness at ThatCuriosityThing.com PS – If you were offended by the term badass, I did not direct the term to any particular breed of donkey or mule....

That question can be asked in several different tones. One from the perspective of “get real”, and the other asking in a way that is challenging you to really dream big. I’m in a position in my life where I’ve stepped out of a role that provided some comforts and am now stepping into the unknown. This is not something I’d recommend for everyone and my outcome will speak for itself. I’ll be sharing this journey with you with the intent of providing you hope, purpose, passion, and success now, from wherever you find yourself. I’m writing this from Huntington Beach, CA. The photo is from my balcony and it’s beautiful here. I’ll be attending a Luxury Homes Retreat with my company Keller Williams who I’d just given notice last week that I’m resigning my position as CEO of an office. One of my reasons for resigning, was that I felt I was not as effective as I needed to be for that role and I was not being fair to myself or the company to continue. Good enough was not enough, and I had to make the decision to either press through and make it work, or come from a different angle. I decided to follow my instinct and take the path that to many, may not make sense both financially and from the perspective of having my future planned out. I have written a musical, interactive program called Super Shooz, where you step into the Shooz of the Super Hero you’re designed to be. I felt like I was not authentically following my own program, living my purpose....

Take the time to decide what you’re creating. Most are driven by habits, urgency (mostly someone else’s) and fear.

Can you develop the ability to see more of that? When you’re feeling overloaded, take the time to breathe, see and feel your life of choice. Take a day out of your everyone else’s overload and join some amazing thought leaders on May 7th, at #ThatCuriosityThing Also a recommended resource for unleashing your potential is Dr. Joe Dispenza’s book Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New...
