Faith and Fear - both have the "unknown" quality. We don't know what will happen for sure, its unseen, we have to spend our time, efforts & energies thinking about either one. Jeff Lip shared this quote with me: "Faith and fear require the not knowing aspect. Why not choose faith instead of fear?" - Brent Payne I love the challenge of this - focusing on Faith instead of Fear. We all know that fears are all around us - it's human nature to be fearful. I think it's necessary to have some fear in order to become fearless. What are your thoughts? I know this might be a little uncomfortable to think about... but I know for me, it's more than worth it. :-)

Great conversation continues with Dr. Jeff Lip - awesome thoughts as he shared lessons he learned over the last week or so. Join us in learning some valuable lessons that Jeff has picked up just living his life.

Got to see where Jeff calls home as he invited me over today to record a couple of our interviews. What great and fantastic lessons he shares in this 13th edition of our interviews. Sit back and enjoy Jeff sharing some details of how a friend of his really helped him through his dark days - great friendship lessons here for all of us to use in our lives. This is part 1 of 2 interviews at his house.

Looking back - it's something we can't do too often as there is the fact that we cannot live in the past. But - we can look back to remember things, to remember people and the lessons we learned that helped get us to where we are today. Well, from starting a new school term - I've been able to reflect a little bit as students have asked me questions as part of my get to know them campaign that I start out every new class with. And while answering some of these questions , I had on the movie "A League Of Their Own" - the baseball move about women playing baseball during WWII. Talk about a tear-jerker in a couple of parts along with tons of smiles and laughs.... which is what life is all about... that movie always gets me thinking about my past and how I got to where I am today. Reflecting back and remembering where you came from is something that I think we should never forget. Our past is our best mentor - the value of those lessons that we can always draw back on - those ar

Wow - busy couple of days - but busy with some good stuff. One was not really titled GOOD - getting oral surgery? Not a fun thing to sign up for - but necessary to fix a problem and improve. The experience was painful for sure - but the lessons that came out of it were pure gold! The surgeon = top notch, not only at his craft of oral surgery - but the way he also treated me, talked to me, explained things to me, listened to me and the list goes on and on as to the positive experiences with this man. Also, his assistant - talk about a difference maker - this young lady helped me so much, answering questions, taking care of me during the procedure and offering the some of the most valuable words ever: JUST BREATH! She could tell I was getting a little bit worked up (clenching my fists, grabbing my thumb on one hand as I was trying to deal with the pain from the shots to numb my entire top part of my mouth) and she reminded me about the importance to just breath. I have used those 2 words with so m

What a great audit to have done to you! It's one that we all need to do I think - that is take a look around in your life. Are you doing things you want to and need to do? This includes taking an account of the people in your life as well. I watched a quick video by Kim Perell and she was talking about doing a Life Audit on herself. A brilliant concept I think for sure where again, we can find ways of improving ourselves. Check out the video on FB here: https://www.facebook.com/SUCCESSmagazine/videos/10155913834288555/ Good stuff. There also is some other things here... relationships and the importance of them in our lives along with finding passion in our lives too.

Not only do we want to avoid these types of people (along with not having them around ourselves), but we should also look to avoid being like them. You have to be hones here - we ALL see people like these 5 types (find article here: https://www.success.com/blog/5-toxic-personalities-successful-people-avoid ) These types of people look to cause us to doubt ourselves with anything we want to positively do for ourselves in our lives. Check this out - let me know what you think and if you have any success stories for dealing with people like these. Find me on FB at Coach To Expect Success and on Twitter: @coachtosuccess

What a great weekend - basketball and friends. We had a huge mega scrimmage that we went to this past Saturday & we learned a lot of things that will help us to get better for this season. My wife and I also had a great time with friends that night. These friends are some of the best people that I've had in my life - a few for over 45 years. We had fun, played games, talked, got caught up with each other's lives, just an evening that was great for the soul. This article hits right at home for what this weekend represented to me - check it out - both the link and my discussion on the article.

Life should be full of moments of learning new things, meeting new people, and getting more and more inspired to improve all the time.

Starting over is something that we do probably more often than you think. There are big things to start over with - a job, a marriage, a house, having kids, and other bigtime life events. There are other things that we need to refocus on, start over again and again and these points fit in for that too. Resourcefulness, Resilience, Drive, Patience and Bravery. I know this is a great review for me on the importance of all 5 of these in my life and the fact that I need work on all 5 of these areas. Just think about if you can always look to improve these areas and others throughout your life. Talk about a life full of self-improvement and growth... that would be awesome!! Try just one out... I will be focusing on all of these - but looking at them one at a time... each week I hope to do this for the next 5 weeks. I hope you can do something like that. Let me know how it goes.

The train keeps moving - even though we are on different train cars and different train tracks... this conversation, teaching, lessons, etc. are going to keep going. Jeff started his new job this past week and with my schedule drastically changing too with basketball starting - we had to find the time to talk... and find it we did. We will continue to look for moments where he and I can sit face to face to talk... as I think that brings our conversations more to life. Sit back and enjoy interview #10 - let's get some discussions going on this.. find me on facebook at Coach To Expect Success and on Twitter : @coachtosuccess

It is needed, just about every day and you know what??? It's out there for all of us along with the fact that what we do in our lives can help & inspire others. Was driving home from an appointment today and I was listening to John O'Leary's podcast where he was interviewing this lady, Edie Littlefield Sundby and she shared her incredible story - listen to it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/s5-ep-51-edie-littlefield-sundby/id1166682012?i=1000393397116&mt=2 For me - it was an emotional ride home listening to this as I just loved her passion in her voice and the stories she was sharing were really amazing and had tons of life lessons in them. I also shared a few quick thoughts about Jim Rohn - another example of inspiration.

A few ingredients into this "success stew" - Passion, purpose & relationships. First of all - saying "see you later" to Dr. Jeff Lip - as he ventures off to a new pathway in his counseling career. We had a get together for him on Friday, for me .. not saying goodbye.. but saying "see you later". Monday will sure different at school without my good friend. But relationships - all of them.. especially work ones, have to have some effort and work that go into them. Especially when purpose and passion connect with them... shared visions are so powerful. Jeff and I have a shared vision about helping others & making a difference with them too. Check out this powerful article: https://www.success.com/blog/4-ways-to-find-passion-and-purpose-in-your-life?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Post Some great ideas - let's talk anytime about these and others that get you thinking about your success puzzle.
