School Of Awesome Sauce With Greg Denning

There are times in our life where we get so busy with one goal, that every other area in life gets thrown off balance.  Some people work so hard at their job that they neglect their health - on the other hand, others spend so much time on their health and working out that maybe they neglect their marriage or family time.  It's all about balance.   Once in a while,  to keep us balanced is reality checks.  They don't come often, but when they do, we gain a whole different perspective on life.  Maybe one day you have to rush to the ER because your child broke a bone or  you get to know someone who lives with a disability - the list goes on.  What do these experiences teach us?  The biggest thing is what we take for granted, and maybe our lives aren't all that hard after all.  Reality checks help us keep things in perspective.  So how do we become the master of perspective?  Have you ever had an experience that changed the way you saw things forever

 What are your dreams if you had no limits? What are those limits and how can you get them out of the way?  Then there is the hard question, how many of our obstacles are there because we put them there?  When we do stupid things we get the consequences.  We can choose our choices but not our consequences. The chief case of unhappiness in life is giving up what we really desire for what we want in the moment.  Keep your goals close always so you never lose sight of what you really desire.  Look at yourself in the mirror and say: "Self - you are better than that!! Don't eat junk food you want to be healthy.  Don't surround yourself with those kind of people who make you act like that.  Keep your thoughts positive your are capable of great things!" Don't let the stupid mistakes define you, let them refine you.  Need more help moving those obstacles?  How to Create the Life you WANT to Start Living How to Break Free from a Negative Cycle Challenges of Changing an

Life all blends together when things are the same every single day.  Then when we look back, the few things we remember were the oddities to the norm -good or bad.  Our memories are something that no other human being can take away from you.  At the end of your life, when all your 'stuff' is gone what kinds of memories and thoughts are you left with?   So how can we live intentionally? To make good memories and moments? The key is to train your brain not to think 'Oh, I cant do that' to 'how can I do this?' No doubt, there are mundane moments. Think outside the box, how can you make something mundane meaningful? Is it absolutely necessary to the way of life you want to live?  Be proactive, be your own creator.  Don't be a passive passenger when you are the one driving the train, this is your life!  What do you want to do? Whose permission are you waiting for to change?  How to get started? How to find out what the best direction for your life is The difference betw

 The goal is to share my story to help inspire you, everyone, to get out and live!  This story starts off in a broken home and eventually out of the house at sixteen.  The turning point was on the cold, dark night of Christmas Eve.  When out alone, with no one to turn to, the love of God was found. From that moment he decided that he would never be in this situation again.  He would change and life would be whatever he decided to make it.  No more blaming, no more excuses.   When you blame and make excuses, you hand in your own power.  You say you are feeling or doing something because someone else is making you.   The choice is yours, if you don't like something, change it, your life is your responsibility.  Things to get out of the mediocrity:  1) Do hard things 2) Face your fears 3)Work on weaknesses Challenge: From here on out, take control of your own life and don't blame others or make excuses. Life will be what you make it.   Re
