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…

VaNessa Duplessie: Holding the Space for Success
VaNessa Duplessie is a special type of leader folks. She has the unique ability to “hold space” for those around her in order to help inspire and lift others in their success. It is a sort of personal power that is truly a gift to those who work with her in life and business. I felt the photo below with her, Mark Hoverson and Jonathan Budd (one of VaNessa’s all time favorites pics) perfectly captures how others express their genuine gratitude for her leadership. This episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast was such a distinct honor and treat for me as I’ve know VaNessa since 2011. She has always been…

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…

Resistance: Fueled By Fear
Resistance: Fueled By Fear! In a world of chaos and more and more of individuals playing the ‘victim of circumstances’, the accountability of an individual seems to fade more and more often. I don’t have the time…. I wasn’t blessed with the gifts he/she has…. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth… How about the fact that some of those who got “lucky”…..took them ten years to get to a place of success, and I’m not just talking about financial success. Resistance towards a goal or dream or vision is fueled by FEAR…. Now it is time to overcome this FEAR, to reduce, minimize, or simply SMASH…

Countdown — 3…2…1
The Countdown ~~ Change will begin in 3…..2…..1….. How is your thinking on this? January 1st, life for you is going to change You just need to make it through December to get out of 2015….then all is good, as we bring on “New Beginnings”. Well, we go through a major mindset shift when we begin thinking like this….yes, I’m guilty of this too We go through a ‘poverty mindset’ in our thinking, as we choose to ignore the month of December as the time for change….how about tomorrow, or the next week….rather than less than a month away because the year will change? Our focus is on ‘what we…

Black Friday
How blessed and thankful are you……for ‘Black Friday’?? Lol….this is a day which follows a day of giving “THANKS”…… Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about saving some money, but where has it become more important to save money, that we’re more willing to give time and energy to such a day, when we put less value on our own lives In this episode, I don’t fully talk about Black Friday….. I talk about Moments …. Firsts…. Embracing Change…. And not only being ‘thankful’ for life, on the days we mark on the calendar as of importance, such as Christmas, Veteran’s Day, Valentines Day, etc…. So for those of…

Vain …..Or Ulterior Motives?
Am I VAIN? Or do I have ulterior motives? In this episode, hear how the pics I post of my workout journey on Facebook and Instagram are far from being VAIN…… Actually, I force myself to do so, for various reasons….I hate to have my picture taken, actually. On here, my daughter verifies that, lol And last Friday, the answer to my actions became clearer to me in why I am doing so, as one of my ‘best friends’ was ‘DEAD’…….for a minimum of four minutes! His heart stopped. Now why do I do this…. You, nor I want to invest our time or money into someone we know…

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…

Exercise And Alkalize….To Beat Depression
“If you don’t have time for exercising, you will end up making time for disease”~~ Shawn Stevenson, Co-Host of podcast–“The Model Health Show” and author of “Sleep Smarter” We hear about the importance of exercise, but yet we don’t make time for it or implement it into our lives We hear and know the benefits of exercise, but as a whole, we don’t make it one of our priorities in our lives As we should cry during grief or sadness to release the hurt within…. Our bodies need to do the same……CRY And by crying, our bodies need to sweat. Now add in the importance of alkalizing….. Improving your body’s ph…

Overcoming Odds
Yes, this is the team that was a lil ‘too stupid to know any better’….. (NOT REALLY),Ha Ha……actually we were a group of young men who chose to not give up, overcoming the odds A team who chose to believe in something greater than ourselves A team who was comprised of some young men who had their asses handed to them in prior years, and chose to flip the switch. And this pic, which I’ve shared before is a pic of Atlanta, ID….a small town on the verge of becoming a town hit hard by a catastrophic wildfire. The crew I had become part of chose to not listen to…
