Real-Resilience006 Life is Pain - Choose Your FlavorI know, not the most invigorating title, and perhaps even a little disheartening. But I assure you, as we do on here on the Matt Lostaglia Show, we take these things most people see as obstacles and we transform them into launching pads from which we propel ourselves upward and forward beyond anything we could have even considered prior to the obstacle appearing in the first place. We all have difficult paths in front of us. The one consistent aspect for each and everyone of us, is that we will inevitably decide. So, let's figure out what flavor we want!

Real-ResilienceAre You Good Enough? Really?You see it everywhere! "You ARE Good Enough!" While I appreciate the intentions of positivity, however I make a simple demand of those looking to instill motivation. Be Better. We are not good enough. Period. Full Stop. This is why we get up everyday and go to work. this is why we work out, why we run, why we learn, why we grow. If you have grown stagnant and stopped growing, this is not a sign of being good enough, it is a sign that you have given up on yourself. We are forever incomplete stories, stories being written until the day...

Real-ResilienceChoose Your Regret WiselyChristopher Hitchens said it best - We all have to choose our own regrets. I love this and how it plays directly into the power of choice that we have. Today I discuss the seemingly irrational emotional responses to changes in the national political landscape in the United States. Between the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the fall out from our political leadership we are seeing some unusually hyper emotional responses. How is it that the response to one death can create so much fear and anxiety within an individual? Thankfully we covered this last week, so if you didn...
