I get really excited about a lot of things.⁣
⁣
Most recently, I was regaling my mom with all the reasons why I LOVE my new online educational platform.⁣
⁣
In addition to leveling-up my business world, it's helped me go SO deep internally. ⁣
⁣
I've only been a part of it for the past few months -- and it's the best thing I've done for my personal growth since spending a month in the Amazon doing plant medicine in 2014.⁣
⁣
It's been epic, to say the least.⁣
⁣
And, true to form, my mom replied with a simple, yet incredibly powerful bit of advice ...⁣
⁣
In the middle of all the excitement, just remember to breathe.⁣
⁣
So wise, mom. So wise!⁣
⁣
Thank you thank you thank you mom, for being you!⁣

After an uncomfortable night sleeping in our rental car, Carrie and I resumed our drive down the Oregon coast just after sunrise.⁣
⁣
With the early-morning light shining through the trees of Highway 101, she spotted a turnoff and pulled in so I could snap a photo.⁣

It was 7am and we were still exhausted. ⁣
⁣
In the past hour, I had asked my wife, Carrie, to stop our car several times so I could hop out and snap a photo.⁣
⁣
This time, I decided not to ask.⁣
⁣
That’s when Carrie said, “Greg, I can’t believe we’re not pulling over…”⁣
⁣
So we did and I snapped this shot. ⁣
⁣
Thanks, darling, for continuing to be my patient and loving inspiration!⁣

Yi Peng literally translates to “second month,” which is when the festival falls on the traditional Lanna calendar.⁣

Why Should I Pay More for Web Hosting?⁣
⁣
It’s a good question — and one we get a lot here at Goodman Creatives. ⁣
⁣
The short answer is that cheap web hosting can slow down your website, leave you vulnerable to hackers and malware, and potentially drive customers away. ⁣
⁣
Think of it this way,⁣
⁣
If you just bought a Ferrari, would you put sand in the gas tank?!⁣
⁣
On one hand, you don’t want to blindly go out and spend big bucks on top-of-the-line options that you’ll never use or understand. ⁣
⁣
On the other hand, having this technology in place can make a big difference behind the scenes … even if you never know it’s there. ⁣

Can a relationship be genuine if the person might be a lead? ⁣

To consciously create a personal brand, we must continuously ask ourselves the tough questions.⁣
⁣
There’s a fine balance between your self-promotion and the value you share with the world. ⁣
⁣
Keeping the scale tipped to the side of “giving back” is essential to having a personal brand that people relate to and want to support.

What do you miss most about travel?

Personally, I always love long transportation rides. 

A chance to see the natural ebbs and flows of local life. 

Villages. 
Countrysides. 
Cities. 
Landscapes. 

People get on. 
People get off. 

Food vendors come on. 
I eat something yummy. 

On to the next stop.

“There’s never enough time”

Sound familiar?

Most people tell themselves that daily.

I certainly do.

And what does that lead to?

Nothing good!

» Overwhelm.
» Stress.
» Anxiety.
» Frustration.
» Anger.

These are the results of “there’s never enough time.”

Here’s the thing … 

😱 IT’S ALL A HUGE LIE!!!

“There’s never enough time” is a limiting belief — a construct of the human brain — a vicious cycle and a broken record.

There’s ALWAYS enough time. 

The question is, what do we do with it?

As human beings with free will, we get to CHOOSE what we do in every moment.

Anything can be a distraction, if we let it.

🚀 Elon Musk once said:

“””“You have enough time.
168 Hours/week

40 at work
+ 7 at gym
+ 56 sleeping
= 65 HOURS LEFT!

Stop wasting, start doing.”“””

Granted, this is an oversimplification by a man who probably has no idea what “normal life” is like.

It assumes that we all work 8 hour days, exercise daily, and get a solid 8 hours of sleep every night.

It doesn’t include transportation, eating, getting dressed, pooping, family time, relationships …

And, regardless of Elon’s math, here’s a fact.

🌈 At any moment, you can change your reality.

When those old, familiar feelings come up - you can choose to go down the same old rabbit hole.

Or, you can choose to take a breath, feel it fully, and move on with your day.

Choose how to spend your time, and accept the consequences of those decisions.

That’s my goal these days.

I’m done being stuck in this cycle.

It gets me nowhere … fast.

🦋IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE 🦋

Yesterday, I woke up with that same old feeling.

“So much to do today! Aaaaaahhhh!”

However, instead of jumping right onto the computer, I took 15 minutes to meditate.

Then, in the middle of the day, I left my desk and got a network chiropractic healing … for 90 minutes!

What a gift to my self.

Last night, I chose to go to my Men’s Group instead of spending the night in front of a screen.

Granted, I was up until 2am finishing some things up …

And, it was totally worth it!

We all deserve a life free of “never enough time.”

💣 It’s time to break the cycle. 💣 

Whose with me?!
