My first-ever podcast guest, and man, am I excited! Steven Shaner is not a Doctor of Chiropractic, but he is active in helping with "adjustments" to your attitude, self-talk, and mindset. Steven is my guest today (Happy 4th of July) and he will talk about 1) Attitude as a Choice, 2) Words matter, and 3) Gratitude is the Key! Please enjoy, because I promise you that he is a relationship superstar.

Context is everything. No disrespect intended, but believing in something not yet seen, in my opinion, is best expressed in practicing the best behaviors for a successful life, moment by moment, without questioning the FACT that doing the right things will always pay the best results. We've all heard the statement, "Seeing is believing." It's true, until you get DEEP-FAKED. The intentional behavior of believing without the need for tangible evidence is the truest expression of faith. The faith we're talking about is faith in doing the right stuff NOW. Let's talk Believing is Seeing, 2.0. It's far more powerful than you realize.

Construction, repair, danger ahead, closures, etc. Everywhere we look, we see safety barricades, safety signs, safety vests, and SAFETY CONES. Most of the time, these "Safety" devices will be orange. Yes, there are other colors, but it seems like everywhere I drive in Central Florida, there are orange safety barrels, barricades, flags, signs, and cones — miles and miles of cones. They do cause us to spend more time getting from Point A to Point B, but they are there for that very reason: safety. Here's my question for today. Are we putting up safety cones (figuratively) in our lives to protect us from being approached by people and opportunities? Being afraid is not a bad thing, but being fearful of taking the chance to LIVE FORWARD is a bad thing. If you are throwing up barricades around your life and keeping people, opportunity, and growth from coming into your life, then maybe we need a discussion about the difference between being responsible and being a coward.
