In a fatigued state your mood is altered, you're more likely to feel depression, anxiety, and lack of hope. You're more likely to accept unwise risks because your judgement will be impaired. You're more inclined toward anger and lashing out. Your mind will gravitate more toward the negatives in li...

superSIXX/Learn to LiveFear & AngerIn today's episode we'll consider the role emotions play in our lives. What I find fascinating about emotions is that they can completely overpower the fundamental motives that drive our lives. Our current scientific understanding lists our strongest human motivations as the drive for sex, hunger, and the will to survive. Nearly as strong for some is the drive to excel at something, the drive to dominate or possess, or the drive to be accepted or have approval. As strong as these drives or motivation may be, they can be easily overcome by emotions.

superSIXX/Learn to LivePerspectiveConsidering the current situation in our country and in the world, this might be a good time to step back and get some perspective to help you focus on what's important in your life. First of all, remember that placing your focus on things you have no control over is a waste of your time. Focusing on things you have no control over will have negative physical and emotional health effects. It also takes time away from focusing on the things you do have control over.

superSIXX/Learn to LiveThe First Step in LeadershipAre you a leader? The answer is absolutely yes. leadership is all about influence. If you influence no one but yourself, you're still a leader; and that's a good place to begin a discussion about leadership. If you look for the definition of leadership in most common dictionaries you be disappointed because they seem to have a hard time coming up with a definition. They mainly just give examples. the definition we'll use for leadership is: Influence.

superSIXX/Learn to LiveLive Long & Prosper"Live long & Prosper". A parting sentiment expressed by Vulcans. Hopefully you know what I'm referring to. As a child of the 50's and 60's my favorite TV program was Star Trek (the original version with Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock). I loved that character both for his intelligence and for his emotional control, which is a central theme of Vulcan culture. Maybe I saw Mr. Spock as a role model because (being a teenager at the time) my emotions were on overdrive. I felt completely out of control and I could see that my emotions were getting the b...

superSIXX/Learn to LiveSuccess Through FailureIf at first you don't succeed, try, try again. A simple phrase but full of wisdom. In this episode we'll consider the role failure plays in your life. From your earliest beginnings, failure became your constant companion. As a small child you didn't go from crawling to walking without many failures. But you didn't put yourself down or consider yourself a failure; you just kept on trying until you succeeded. This is true with most of the things you've learned in your life.

superSIXX/Learn to LiveWork Your PlanIn this episode we'll reflect on the importance of working your plan. Most people go through life as what I call "Pinballs". They don't have a plan, they just react to outside forces as they're driven first in one direction, then another; just like the pinball in a pinball machine. Living a life solely of reaction to outside influences will never benefit you. That's not to say that your life won't be influenced by outside forces that demand your reaction, it will. But you can limit the degree of reaction you're required to take, and improve the speed of your...

I you perceive yourself as the type of person who has limitations on your abilities, you'll behave accordingly. Have you ever said, or heard someone say "this is who I am"? Like you, I've said this about myself, and I've heard probably thousands of others say it about themselves. What are you really saying to yourself and others when you say this?

superSIXX/Learn to LiveLive In The Present - Plan For The FutureYou may have heard the old quote that goes, "Yesterday is a cancelled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have, so spend it wisely". It's important to understand that you yesterdays were the launch pad that moved you to today but are now gone and unchangeable. You must let go of everything that has happened in your past, including even the good, because now you're in the present, and the present is the only place you truly can live.

Virtue keeps you out of trouble and focused on your goals and knowledge put into practice leads to wisdom. Think about this quote from Dante..."Consider your origins, you were not formed to live like brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge". I would change one word in this quote. I would change the word follow to pursue. Following is too passive; you must pursue the things you seek. The new quote would be "Consider your origi...

superSIXX/Learn to LiveFocus; not BlameIn this podcast we'll consider the importance of deciding how you will choose to approach the challenges presented to you each and every day of your life. When things don't work out or go the way you wanted them to, do you look for who or what to blame? If you do, you're not only wasting your time, but you're also preventing yourself from excelling and succeeding. Finding blame when things don't go your way will not solve your problem or help you achieve success.

superSIXX/Learn to LiveVictim or VictorOne of the most important decisions you can make in your life is whether you will be a victim or a victor. Hopefully, you'll choose to be a victor, not a victim. What is victim thinking? It's a state of mind. Seeing the glass half empty instead of half full, taking the pessimistic viewpoint instead of the optimistic one, easily losing hope. In this podcast we'll contrast the differences between victim thinking and victor thinking. Learning the difference will set you on the path of success.

superSIXX/Learn to LiveCreating YourselfI've always felt it's unfortunate that so many of the choices we make as young people (when we're least prepared to make profound life-changing decisions) can have such profound impacts on the rest of our lives. However, that's life: and it's never too late to make different choices to change your direction. It's obviously easier to build on successes and achievements in our lives than it is to overcome the mistakes we've made, but in most cases it's not impossible.
