Ep 163 A Big Mistake I Made Led Me to Gratitude in My Later Years

In this takeaway episode, I discuss why I struggle with an attitude of gratitude for achieving fulfillment in midlife. This stems from my conversation with Shep Hyken on episode 162.
Here are 3 key discussion points from that conversation:
1️⃣ Attitude of Gratitude: Shep shared his practice of writing down something positive from both his professional and personal life every day, which has contributed to his resilience and appreciation for life.

2️⃣ Pursuing Amazement: Shep's definition of greatness is surpassing expectations in small, consistent ways, leading to excellence, or as he calls it, amazement. His approach is an inspiring reminder to strive for continuous improvement.

3️⃣ Embracing Retirement: Shep's perspective on retirement emphasizes doing what brings joy and satisfaction, whether through professional work or hobbies. His outlook challenges the traditional definition of retirement, encouraging us to engage in meaningful activities that bring fulfillment.

The conversation also highlighted personal struggles. I share that I've had more failures than successes. So, I combine gratitude with accountability.
My challenge to you is to ask yourself this: What role does gratitude play in your life?

Ep 165 Activate Your Superpower for Greater Happiness and Fulfillment

In this takeaway episode, I am inspired by my conversation with Kristie Jones on episode 164.
Kristie shares that her superpower is generosity. She says that she has an attitude of doing the right thing and the right thing will happen. Part of her mantra includes being available to anyone. She says she has 30 minutes for anyone who needs her help whether it’s help reviewing their resume, a business plan, or even a dear John letter.
Kristie calls this her superpower. The truth is, everyone has a superpower. What is your superpower? Are you using your superpower? Are you fulfilled by using your superpower? If you don’t know your superpower, why not? I’m not criticizing you. I’m asking you why don’t you know your superpower.
In this episode, I offer a simple hack to discover your superpower. Once you know your superpower, harness it to help others and to flourish. Your superpower might help you enjoy fulfillment in one or more of the five pillars, health, fitness, career, relationships, or legacy.
