SMFR The PodcastEp95: The Value Of A Strong Relationship!Its difficult to underestimate the value of a strong relationship; whether it's your spouse, a best friend, or a mentor in your life, we simply need another person to lean on . Someone's that's always there for us. I sincerely hope you have that in your life, and please cherish and nurture that relationship - they sure don't grow on trees! I'm just a guy on the interwebs, but if you every need a set of ears to listen, I'm here for you. Damn sure love all y'all!Support the show

SMFR The PodcastEp94: The Power of Writing Things Down!When we put pen to paper (especially blue ink on white paper), we connect the physical (writing) to the mental (thoughts and subconscious). It helps us tremendously as I hopefully explain in this l'il podcast. This is SO important, so take a listen and let me know what you think. Love all'yall!

SMFR The PodcastEp93: The Art of (Positively) Overthinking!One of the recurring themes here on SMFRThePodcast is... da-da-da-da! Overthinking. We all do it and it can truly affect our mental clairty, if not even our overall mental health. But here are some points to consider to use overthinking to our benefit; to assist us in solving problems, exploring positive ideas, thinking of new ways to attack a project, etc. Sounds cool to me and it actually works. Hey thanks for allowing me to share these things with you and indeed, I love all y'all!Support the show

SMFR The PodcastEp92: Time To Stand Together (And Stop Getting Scammed By Our Government!) #NoTax26Before starting, here's a disclaimer: this is the most Un-SMFR, Un-Steve Reeb podcast you'll ever see and hear and I assure you, it's not political. It's not about Trump, or blah blah blah. It's about We The People finally seeing the government for what it is: freeloading bums sucking us dry of our hard-earned dollars and sending it where? To illegals across the board, to fraudulent "day care centers" in MInnesota - The Ukraine is a whole 'nother kettle of stinking fish - and this is just the tip of the spear (to quote Andy Frisella).

SMFR The PodcastEp91: The Teachings of Seneca (Imagination vs Reality, Etc)Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher from 4 BC to 65 BC, but his teachings and writings are still very significant today. One of the most influential Stoic thinkers, his teachings and writings focus on ethics, self- control, reason, and how to live a good life in the face of hardship. Does that sound familiar? Sure does, we live it every day and (I think you'd agree) that these topics are a main focus of SMFRThePodcast. Thank you for subscribing, liking, commenting etc; I love all y'all!

SMFR The PodcastEP90: Things My Dad Taught Me (Part 1)Here are a few things my Dad taught me perhaps he didn't teach me directly, but in observing this wonderful gentleman I learned so much about how to be just that - a gentleman. Just simple things that people notice and respect us for, and things that help us carry our heads high and, indeed, treat others as we would be treated. Got more to come on this in future podcasts, but I like keeping these short because, well, you know - squirrel! Love all y'all!Support the show

SMFR The PodcastEp89: The Rosenthal Effect (Audio Version)The Rosenthal Effect is a famous 1960's study that really illuminates and ties together so much of what we discuss here on SMFRThePodcast. Anything we can do to help us be successful in our minds, in our work and family lives, and yes, in our bank accounts - is crucial to our development and happiness. Give this a listen and if you'd like more detail, just look it up on the interwebs. Love all y'all!Support the show

SMFR The PodcastEp88: The Power of One More Try!Ever felt ready to give up? Yup, me too. But before we do, let's give it one more try. Persistence beats perfection, and history is littered with people who just gave up too soon, as well as the Edisons and Lincolns of the world who just kept going in the face of multiple "failures". So I'm challenging you and I to find one thing that we've perhaps given up on, and use our experience to get back to it - and give it one more try. Love all y'all!Support the show

I found these on the ol' interwebs and thought it was worth sharing with you. In essence, we don't have to make wholesale changes to improve ourselves; in fact, I'm sure you do a lot of these things already. However, I hope it's a nice reminder for you as it is for myself.

Perhaps you've seen it; he talks about living in his car for 3 years before getting his break. It's really good do look it up when you have time. The point being: All of our trials and tribulations are there on purpose. To guide us, to give us experience, to teach us - until we're ready. So when things look a little bleak or it looks like the plan isn't working, just trust it - and know that The Man Upstairs...

SMFR The PodcastEp85: Rest Isn't Always Best (Get Out and Live A Little!)One of our mantras here is "taking time for ourselves". Very true, but if we just sit at home and isolate ourselves - well, that's not good either. Let's learn to find a balance in our quiet time alone, and our need to get out in the sunshine, or to people watch somewhere, and just to enjoy being out of the house - or heaven forbid - the office. Rest can heal, but too much can lead of overthinking, or even worse, losing our vitality and enjoyment of simple, every day life. So let's get out there ok? Love...

SMFR The PodcastEp83: 10 Small Things (That Aren't Really Small)10 small things (that aren't really small)... I saw this the other day and immediately screenshot it to share it with you. There are so many things that we do for others without thinking - or thinking that they're no big deal. But we never know what the other person is feeling, or perhaps going through, so when we do little things it means a whole lot to them. Plus it comes back to us; karma, ya know? Hopefully this list will jar your thinking in a good way - it did mine - and we'll come away realizing that...

SMFR The PodcastEp82: The Art of Asking (Wow It's Truly Amazing!)The Art of Asking is something I couldn't wait to share with you - the premise of it hadn't even occurred to me until I stumbled across this book by Amanda Palmer. So many folks (myself included) have viewed asking as a weakness, or even as begging. It's neither of those things - it's actually a strength. Think about it for a minute if you would; if we need assistance (no matter if it's business or personal) if we don't ask, nothing's going to change. This isn't a book review as I often say here, but rather it was...

SMFR The PodcastEp81: Greenlights (Wisdom From Matthew McConaughey)Matthew McConaughey is a big-time actor, but he grew up quite poor and has had quite a life. He started keeping a journal at age 14 and his book "Greenlights" is basically a summarization of the years of all those journals. This isn't a review per se, but rather my thoughts on what I got out of it. If you'd like an extra treat, get the audiobook; it's like he's having a conversation with you personally (albeit one-sided but still...). Anyway, I love it and I just love all y'all!Support the show

Dr David Schwartz wrote it back in 1959 and it's more important today than ever. We encounter so many distractions, so many things pulling us in every direction... and this book has helped keep me grounded and focused for many moons now. It's also available on audio, but I prefer to keep a copy on my desk - it's dog-eared appearance reminds me of how useful it has been and what a great reference it will always be now...

A great quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American philosopher, poet, and all-around champion of the people back in the 1800's.

SMFR The PodcastEp46: 7 Ways To Say "No"7 ways to say no... there are probably more but these are fairly polite ways to avoid getting into a situation you might regret later. Sometimes we're so concerned about hurting others' feelings (or just coming off the wrong way) and we say "yes" to projects or things that really don't benefit us, our families, or whatever the end result is on the whole dealio. So let's learn to say "no" before we end up with a wacko to-do list that keeps us from doing the stuff we really want to/need to accomplish. PS I really like Super Grover...

It ain't hard, friends; it works for me and thought it worth sharing. Give it a shot but stick with it - I had to and am glad. Simple and effective (kind of like milk of magnesia... yikes!).
