Episode Highlights:

01:33 - Life is all about beliefs and beliefs are what I call accepted truths. And so, when we are leading our lives very intentionally versus just living, then we're leading with a very intentional belief mindset.

09:24 - One of the things that I have is I have my mantras. And so, my mantra each morning is waking up, because I get on the treadmill, because I still got some health challenges. So, I try to get on the treadmill and I exercise. And I take those moments and in those moments, and I would encourage us to do this – those are moments of mindfulness. Those are moments of shining the flashlight in the corners of your mental mindset in search of things that you don't want in there.

18:16 - One of the big things that I often say is that if someone tells me they're stuck, if someone tells me, "I'm having challenges getting a promotion. I'm having challenges to get a job. I'm having challenges with my team. I'm having challenges in the relationship," any type of scenario I just gave you, and I can go on and on and on, it's always going to tie you back to some sort of belief and mindset that they're bringing to that situation.
