Let Go Of Being Right
Let Go Of Being Right….. and just continue sharing what it is you have to offer the world! Why? Because someone needs your insight, ideas, and knowledge…..despite having those around you not believing in you. We are continuously tested. Our dreams of reaching for something greater is challenged by those who haven’t taken the time to dive into that which drives you. Recently I was able to tell someone….”See, you are being told now the exact things I’ve been telling you for years”….but in this case, I wish I was wrong because what I was sharing was not valued. Now a life is dependent upon it! If I told you…

Pen In Hand
In this episode, you will find I had a tough time recording this episode! My mind was all over the place….. I jumped from sharing how to quit “Fearing Your Voice”……. How we are afraid to say what we actually think, such as: I believe in God! I hate my job! You upset me! And whatever else that strikes a chord with whatever keeps you from speaking up. Then, I tried recording an episode about taking the pen from whoever is holding it….. And to “Write Your Own Story”! There are days in which we are off cue, such as I was in this episode…… But because of this, I…

Time Is Running Out
Are you feeling under pressure, as though the time is running out? Are you feeling as though the pressure is building to a point….that all you have to do is to make a move, but fear causes you to feel as though you’ve just found deepest pits of quicksand? Well, I get it…. All you have to do is to make a move to stop the clock and improve your setting….but yet you still are unable to. Yep, it’s a shitty feeling. Now it’s time to find it within you….to find that courage and strength, even when there might be some doubt on your move……but by making your move, you know…

Participation Awards
Participation Awards….. Hmmmm…..the magical question on whether or not our kids are deserving of a trophy or ribbon…..just for participating! Well, I won’t dance around this one! I’ve coached my daughter in softball for 5 years…..junior high volleyball for a season…..and assistant for junior high basketball. And my son, well I’ve coached him in baseball for 4 years, and now in travel ball…..basketball for a season….and soccer for a season. Back in the day, many of us growing up didn’t receive awards for “participating” Personally, as each season begins, I share with the parents that I will not participate in getting the kids trophies or plaques for playing the game.…

Fear Your Dreams?
Do you fear your dreams? And in fearing your dreams, you’d rather enjoy the thoughts and feelings of what a destination (dream) might actually bring to your life…. In college, I remember taking a philosophy class which brought a great deal of thinking my way….we read the poem of “Ithaca”. Ithaca is a destination….. But by the poem’s end, it is not Ithaca that is important, it is who you became in your travels to Ithaca….no matter your destination was that which was expected…. If it brought disappointment…. Or it became more than you could imagine. What we dream of, secretly brings about fear for many of us…..which prohibits from…

Happy New Years
A Brand New Year Is Upon Us….. Happy New Years!! You can wrap up the year 2015 in a bow…..the good, and the bad! But the main question is will you be able to take all that had been part of your life in this past year……and taken the lessons of it all, to create a memorable 2016. January is the honeymoon…. It is the fresh start, or the new beginning…. It is the do-over that many of us at times wish for. But in all reality, will this year be any different in the aspects of which you have control? I’ve been there many times, and yes, it’s a…

Finding Yourself in 2016: Have You Lost Your Savior Within?
How will you go about finding yourself in 2016? I love this image above as it shows the variety and intensity of paths that we might take on our journey. The decisions you make as you go about finding yourself will push you to your limits and sometimes even momentarily break you down to your core. But I truly believe that at that core…that foundation of YOU…lies your savior. The savior we always seem to be seeking in our pursuit of success. Now as I say in the beginning of this podcast episode, I’m not speaking on the topic of religion. Although I do use a reference to scripture to…

Through The Glass
Through The Glass…. There are times when we feel we are always on the sideline…. We want to get into the game We want it all We can see it…. Taste It… Hear It…. Feel It…. But the truth is, not all of us are blessed with the gifts to have the potential to ‘be in the game’ What is it worth to you to get into the game? Are you willing to do what others are not willing to do….get up early; stay late; run one more mile; do one more push-up; to listen, rather than speak; to let go of ego; to admit you are not ‘all-knowing’??? These…

The Power Of Silence
Though “words” have an impact……”silence” can echo an eternity. At times we tend to say too much, or we spend more time trying to find words to express our emotions……when the ‘power of silence’ speaks volumes. I find myself falling into the habit of using big words, or trying to find many words to share in a podcast, the copy of post, or even to define the meaning of an Instagram post….. When all that is needed……is SILENCE So need I say more….or write more? How about I just let you listen in on my thoughts of such a powerful expression we should use more often? Enjoy….. ~~Eddie http://traffic.libsyn.com/mindsetmountain/56_The_Power_Of_Silence.mp3Podcast: Play…

Committed
I got this…..I’m Committed! I’m going to start working out 5 days a week….. I’m going to start eating healthier…. I’m going to join this workout program with my girlfriend/boyfriend because it’ll make them happy…..plus I’ll benefit from it…. I GIVE YOU MY WORD….. Etc. Etc. Etc. Have you ever been around individuals like this? You hear these promises, or talk of what is going to change, but this pic shows exactly what is going on…… Well, at times it needs to be like bullets from a gun…. Once they commit……They should commit! Then again, is it you that is not committing? Well, hear how this may frustrate the hell…
