“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” Jim Rohn
Being disciplined in life matters if you want to live a life of your own design. If you don’t love what you do, if you are not happy in your current field, state, or circumstance then perhaps its time to discover something new. When you do approach it with great discipline and you will turn dreams into reality.
If I wasn’t self-discipline I would be able to achieve those things in life that I desire to achieve. I still slip, I still let myself of the hook but as I evolve I continue to improve.
Today I share my thoughts on why disciplines matter and some techniques that may be beneficial in helping you build your discipline muscle.
Enjoy! Peace, passion and purpose.

“You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people to get what they want.” by Zig Ziglar
Jeff McManus grows things. As the Director of Landscape Services at the University of Mississippi, he grows plants…he grows people… he grows ideas. Jeff is a problem-solver, understanding that doing more with less is a 21st century mandate.
In Jeff’s primary line of work he realized that growing the people were critical to growing the plants. Understanding that all humans either strive for or have within them the innate elements of Greatness, Resiliency, Opportunity and Wisdom, Jeff developed his GROW-theory into an impactful management and professional development leadership program for his staff.
In this episode we discuss how to promote and grow others and develop a strong culture through great leadership. Many of the takeouts in this episode can be transferred to each of our lives individually to develop and create a life with greater passion and purpose.
His message rings true for any industry leader or manager looking to grow a high-performance and dedicated workforce. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did and would love to receive your feedback. Until next time, peace, passion and purpose.
The Gratitude Diaries How a Year Looking on the Bright Side Can Transform Your Life by Janice Kaplan
What does it take to live with gratitude? Surprising very little, other than a dose of of awareness. Being grateful is not something new and the theory of it has been around, as far as I can tell, for aeons. Great philosophers of the past speak on why being grateful is a divine way to live life with greater fulfilment and happiness.
Janice Kaplan decided one New Years Eve that she was going to dedicate the entire year to being more grateful for everything in her life. Simply becoming more aware of all that she has and expressing gratitude for them. What she learns and discovers she share in her book and New York Times bestseller.

“Live well today and live well tomorrow.” Roger Whitney
Known as the Retirement Answer Man, Roger helps people manage time to create a meaningful financial life and to work toward independence. As a financial planner and retirement guru you may be thinking he is all about saving now for tomorrow but contrary to this he is more about balance- how to have more today and tomorrow.
Roger Whitney has for 24 years expertly guided countless individuals and families to financial freedom and retirement. In this episode we discuss the ins and outs of money, investing and living a life with balance without sacrificing tomorrow. Importantly also we chat about how we can create a life that we don’t want to retire from.
Achieving financial freedom is more than investing! Financial freedom requires lots of continual little “right” decisions about priorities and time and resource allocation. It requires consistent quality, on-going attention and knowing the key questions to ask. Not easy!
Everyone can work towards financial freedom! I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did and until next time, peace, passion, purpose and happy retirement.
The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason
“Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but watch that you only take what is worth having.” George S. Clason
This book is founded on the people of Babylon who were apparently the first people to discover the universal laws of prosperity. The author of this 1926 book discusses the laws that are timeless to this day and are laws that are to assist anyone and everyone in creating, growing and maintaining wealth.
Before I hear you say that people are born into money and others are more fortunate than others, that’s fine and perhaps this than isn’t a book for you nor would be my blog, it may just create some negative and burning emotions within you and that is not my intention.
It is true that from long, long ago man has decided that life was to be lived with a high standard and since we have always continually acted to improve our own prosperity. We have also continually increased quality of living as a race, and more recently we endeavour to improve mother earth.
The Monkey Trap-What Are You Holding Onto
Definition
Monkey Trap
“A cage containing a banana with a hole large enough for a monkeys fist to fit in, but not large enough, if the monkey is clutching the banana, for its fist to come out.”
In this short thought I discuss why it’s important to learn how to let go. I relate this to the philosophy of the monkey trap. We think we cannot let go of our past or what that is holding us back but the truth is we can. We must simply become more greatly aware.
Don’t let your thoughts, beliefs, environment, your situation hold you back from pursuing a path of passion and purpose – from living the life you dream.
Peace, passion and purpose…..
