Ghetto Is In The Mindframe– A Cognitive Rampage
“GHETTO IS IN THE MINDFRAME”~~Adam Lowery How many of us are willing to take a chance on speaking ‘our truths’? How many of us are willing to step out of our own concrete beliefs to go against the truth’s of our personal lives? Adam Lowery is an author and powerful podcaster. Adam Lowery is a man who spoke against the system he saw flawed and may have lost the time, energy, and passion he once invested. But what if you knew that your ‘mindset’ is shapeable as Adam explains his perspective on mindset? What if you knew that through the darkness resides a glimpse of light which has the capability…

Serving Powerfully
“IT’S AMAZING HOW FAR YOU CAN GO WHEN SOMEONE BELIEVES IN YOU”~~Jason MacKenzie Through what lens are you looking through? Some of us have had our perspectives altered throughout time, and through time the lens which we view our lives and purpose have become clouded. That which seems clear, becomes unclear. That which was once understood becomes questionable as our vision and sight towards the world strays away from that which we’ve imagined it to be. How do we handle life when the person we’ve married is not the person we’ve imagined them to be? How do we comprehend when the person we once loved with all our heart has…

Fearing Obsession
“We should not fear an obsession for building a great and free life…..vision trumps reality; dreams have more weight than circumstances because circumstances are alterable with enough sweat and toil and dedication.”~~Brendon Burchard ‘The Motivation Manifesto’ As I was looking for something to speak upon, I opened up to the first part of the quote above. As I skimmed through the remainder of the book to see what I highlighted that grabbed my attention as I read through this book, I found the second part of the above piece. So, what does all this mean? The first part has to do with wanting more out of life. There are many…

If I Can….You Cantu!
(Photo credit: MidAtlantic Photography) If I Can…You Cantu! Some of us have simple goals! Some of us have huge goals! Truth is, what if your main goal is something that you never envisioned yourself putting on top of a list……at least until your life has drastically changed. Our inspiring guest has not always been so inspiring. Due to a life altering accident while this young lady was in her teens, Vanessa Cantu never envisioned losing what brought happiness to her world…..losing any or all athletic abilities she had possessed. Most important, Vanessa had lost physical capabilities and a massive part of who she had once seen in the mirror.…

Destroying The Poverty Mindset
Destroying The Poverty Mindset! “Playing it safe is not commendable, avoiding risk is not to be rewarded, and living out of fear of what others will think–with their approval and disapproval–should not be what motivates us!”~~T.D. Jakes (He-Motions) The above quote from one of my favorite book, ‘He-Motions’, is in reference to Mathew 25:14-29. Whether you follow the Bible or not, this should hold true no matter how you look at life. Are you hiding your talent in the ground for safe keeping? We are given gifts and blessings in many ways. Examples might be parenting a child, having a job, having a roof over our heads which we take…

Recognition And Respecting Your Signs
Recognition of divine gifts of timing. This ability to focus on the supposed “coincidences” of our lives is what can separate us from the false beliefs of our past. Respecting and honoring your signs allows us all to tap back into a divine certainty that we all seek on a daily basis. In this latest solo shot episode, I dig into a variety of “signs” that showed up in my own life that all served a purpose. A purpose to let go of certain deep seeded beliefs within me. Beliefs that never made sense from the very beginning. You’ll hear how it is vital for all of us to give…

Living Quietly At Home
“Most our misfortunes spring from not knowing how to live quietly at home, in our own rooms”~~ Pascal This morning I was sifting through the book “Spellbinders Gift” by Og Mandino and found the highlighted quote. Not only did it trigger some meaning, it related to a question I was asked by a future guest for this podcast. “Are You A Christian?”, I was asked. “Yes” I responded. The reason I was asked this question was in relation to the impacts, effects, and acts of suicide. When one is away from everyone they know whether it be at work or with friends or family, one needs to have a belief…

Statistics & Sculpture: Carve Your Masterpiece
Stats & Sculpture… are you using your stats as the hammer and chisel to carve your masterpiece? Well let’s find out in this latest solo shot episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast. This thought of stats and sculpting popped into my head randomly last Friday morning while on my drive. And it really forced me to take a deep dive into not only my past… but also how to better leverage criticism and feedback for the here and now. In this episode, I was reminded how often that most of us (especially me) channel any sort of feedback into an immediate feeling of personal attack. Instead of allowing the criticism…

Two Sides Of The Same Coin
Two Sides Of The Same Coin! Whenever we look at our fears, many of us ask the question of “What If?”. In this question, we tend to lean towards a certain aspect for the answer which is geared toward the negative aspect of the mystery. What If I Fail? What If I’m Judged? What If I’m Wrong? And the list goes on and on, right? Well, there is more to the coin than just the flipside which we fail to recognize. Yes, there is a flipside to the coin, but did you ever consider the substance in between the two faces? This may not be the tragic moments of our…

Embracing Your Weakness To Build Strength
Embracing your weakness… seems pretty backwards right? Why would you ever want to embrace your weakness? It’s all about building up your strength right? Well in this solo shot episode I share a unique perspective I just applied in 2 key areas of my life where becoming closed friends with my weakness will give me power. You see I discovered that by continuing to fight extremely hard against these mindsets that were not my strength… I was beating myself down even further. By not recognizing the weakness and pivoting with it… I was repeating a process of continuous failure. But as I thought about it the other evening, it…
