Simple Truths
Simple Truths With all that has transpired this past week with the officers taking the lives of two black men, as well as what had become some backlash from this taking place in Dallas…..let’s say this world, especially the U.S. has sensed a great deal of tension. The truth is there are shitty people of all races….. There are horrible individuals that are both male and female….. There are certain organizations which contain a few bad seeds…… The simple truth the chaos seen has begun dividing certain individuals, based upon what is being fed to us on the outside. As I’ve personally experienced, there are always two sides, if not…

Fueling Your Why: Justin St.Pierre
Fueling Your Why: Justin St. Pierre Some call them “bombshells”….. Those moments in life when our realities were just crushed by an event or incident, causing us major pain and influencing us to take steps to escape until we hopefully wake from the nightmare which has just occurred.

In this episode listen in to how Justin found his world turned upside down from a tragic loss, causing him to lose himself to a crutch and the excuses which took him away from who he was. There is no…

Independence
Independence Happy Fourth Of July, for those of you in the states! Through the barbecues, fireworks, and festivities…..what does this day represent to you? And how can we apply to our personal lives what this day represents? This past week, myself and Jason participated in Danny Page’s “7 Day Facebook Video Challenge”……. A challenge where we expose our truths…..and by that, I mean the unedited versions of ourselves. The lies we tell ourselves as well as the lies we tell others end up constricting us. They hinder us from the freedoms of who we really are as individuals. They keep us from being individuals with faults and not allowing ourselves…

Chances: You Never Know!
Chances: You Never Know! There are times in life where we come to the crossroads where action needs to be taken. There are times in our lives where all the study and preparation is great and all…..but it is all for not if there is no action to be taken. Chances: reaching out to a man about helping him with his event by having him as a guest on our podcast….. Chances: interviewing three of the four speakers to be taking stage at a first time event…. Chances: meeting many individuals from various backgrounds that are all in search of the same thing…. “Meltdown In The Desert” brought many individuals together for…

Decisions
DECISIONS! There are times where the decisions we make will not be known as either right or wrong…..until the story has been written. Lebron James is a prime example of just that…… We fear criticism….. We fear judgement….. We fear the other side of the fence and it’s greener grass….. We fear that the decisions we make may have been the wrong one’s, but we forget who and what the process is going to create. Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers has just signified his decision to go back to his home team in attempt to win an NBA Championship…..and had he never pulled it off, it would have been…

Light And Shadows
Light And Shadows In the above pic, whether in the shadows or in the light….you’re still on the mountain. Too many times we fail to lose sight of where we really are in life. We’re making the climb towards a destination, and even though we’re making progress we put focus on whether the light is shining upon us rather than any progress that has been made. Along our paths, remember that the journey is ‘our own personal journey’. Though we might be on the same trails, there is something that each of us is attempting to conquer that is unique to us, and only us. There will be filters and…

State of the Mountain Address
That image above you see of course was our first logo for The Mindset Mountain Podcast. But over time, we realized we needed to pivot, to change or reframe our vision for that logo. Eddie and I had to make adjustments and changes in order to grow as a show as well as personal development leaders. That’s why today with this Wednesday episode we decided to sit down with you and share a sort of “state of the mountain address” discussing a few updates and improvements with the podcast, our products and services..hell even ourselves! You will hear us touch up on the following: How we must at times…

A Day In Power
A Day In Power There are times we stand in power…..a day where our power is exposed to the world, yet we fail to recognize it due to drowning in our struggles. Several years ago after I moved back to Arizona after having almost taken my life, and coming back to a world to rebuild myself……there was a time where I failed to realize the moment. The moment was witnessed by my kids, uncle, and a cousin I had just met for the first time. The above pic is a reminder of this day, that until now, I realized that it was a day that I didn’t even recognize I had…

Struck Down By Our Own Caution
Struck Down By Our Own Caution “So many of us think ourselves into smallness, into inferiority, by thinking downward. We are held back by too much caution. We are timid about venturing. We are not bold enough. And so we die before we reach middle age, although we will not be lowered into the ground until we pass three score and ten.”~~ Og Mandino: “The Choice” Living by caution allows us to be safe…..or does it really? Sometimes you just have to ‘jump’!! Safety is not living in fear Security is not hiding in darkness as our cautions keep us from spreading our wings A cautious lifestyle does not…

Out Of The Ashes Of Existence: Danny Page
Out Of The Ashes Of Existence: Danny Page No Outlets.,…False Successes….God’s Letdown….Lazy….Compulsive….Lies….Self-Centered….Rage….And the list goes on and on, right?! You see, there are times in our lives where the above words hit us where it hurts. They hit us when we choose to tell ourselves the lies that “we are perfect and in control”, as we hide from our truths. It is then we find ourselves living a ‘life of existence’. We hide and turn from the mirrors, eventually becoming that child that hides in the dark closet with our security blanket, waiting to be saved from an unknown light! When we choose to release the ‘power’ we falsely…
