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...2025-07-2306 minelectrocat [Tilos Rádió podcast]electrocat [Tilos Rádió podcast]2025.07.13. - TracklistávalTracklista:01.

A great quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American philosopher, poet, and all-around champion of the people back in the 1800's. This is just a singular quote taken from one of his essays, but let's think about it for a second. Yes, "own your day". Be the boss of it, not the other way around. Carpe diem right? Don't let yesterday interfere with the new day ahead of us, nor let (potantial) future issues weigh us down either. As Mr. Emerson also says "This day is...2025-06-2005 minSMFR The PodcastSMFR The PodcastEp71: Stanley Cup Final Thoughts With Special Guest CarterAlways a great time sharing the mic with my buddy Carter.

Nothing drastic just simple easy changes. Lord knows, I'm no doctor (maybe a doctor of love but that's another story) but I needed to slightly alter things and get my bad self back. Ya know? I think you do. Anyhoo, every now and again, I'm going to throw an episode like this out there.

We’ve come to far to stop now haven't we? There's an IG account titled "mentalstrengthproject" and it's blunt and to the point; I don’t know who it is but love the directness of the posts. Totally on point and this is a great example. Check it out if you'd like, and remember the old saying "they can beat you but they can't eat you". Come to think of it, they can't beat us either.

Do you have someone who's always popping into your mind? I sure do. Bill had such an impact on so many people, and though he's gone, he's still with us every day. Does that make sense? You betcha. So let's embrace memories of those we love - whether they're still in our mortal lives or they've passed.

When nobody's cheering you on, when the haters come out, when no one gives a flip about you or your goals... screw it. Hey y'all know I've had my issues - still do - but these l'il podcasts and YT shorts remind me to keep going, continue to build character, and plow through. The end goal is worth it.

Perhaps it was COVID, perhaps it was the crazy political circus or media overload... whatever happened, many of us lost our self-confidence and our swagger, so to speak. I know I did at times, and had to train my little gray cells (as Poirot would say) to tune out the garbage and get on with living my best life.

Not Ol' WIllie Nelson!What, me worry? What good does it accomplish? The esteemed songwriter (and kind-of philosopher WIllie Nelson believes it can make us sick both mentally and physically. There's a lot of truth to that, so as we go through our day, let's keep that in mind; if we can change things for ourselves for the better let's do it by all means. But if we cannot and are making ourselves sick with worry... well, why? It does not good. As always these little reminders help me as I record them, and hopefully give you pause for thought as well.

It can be overwhelming as we know, so let's eliminate it as much as possible. Turn off the main stream media news, and block unwanted social media ads, news, and so-called "friends".

In my case, I remember these instances vividly and as such try to treat others with grace and compassion more so each and every day.

We went from calls and hand-written notes to emails (applicable in a lot of cases - business for instance) to texts and social media. It's just not the same for many many reasons. Hey, pick up the phone, pick up a pen, and let someone know you're thinking of them.

If you're ever driving I-55 through Arkansas, you'll see a sign with an arrow (blink and you'll miss it though) pointing you toward Johnny Cash's boyhood home in Dyess, Arkansas. It's literally 8 miles off the interstate and totally worth your time. I provide a little background on this piece of American history here and also on the SMFRThePodcast YouTube channel.  It's captured like a moment in time and you'll be glad you stopped!Support the show2023-05-2408 minSMFR The PodcastSMFR The PodcastEp21: Everybody Has A Story (Bicycle Mark)Everybody has a story to tell. Every single one of us (and there are almost 8 billion of us on this mortal coil).  Life goes by so fast and we often get caught up in the craziness of it all, but there's something we can do to slow things down a bit: if you ask them, most folks will tell you their story. Take time to listen as it'll mean so much to both you and to them. Things will chill as you take it all into account and you'll likely come away with an improved outlook on things.

Here's a short reminder for all of us that, as you go through your day, take the time to say hello to a stranger, open doors for other folks, and just show your love along the way. Yup, we can breeze along and forget this sometimes - but not for long. Our character will remind us of who we are and what we do: Love the neighbor as thyself.

Join our host, Jason Chandler, as he is joined by a panel of other hosts, Tyler Newsome, Julie Reeb & Steve Veale as they discuss that moment of truly "seeing" Jesus in their own lives.

However, being respectful of other views, unless they're complete whacko, can help us grow in knowledge and maybe more importantly, in compassion and understanding.

While it's important to learn from our past in some instances, and to plan and goal-set for the future, dwelling on either robs us of what's right in front of us. Enjoy each moment and guess what?

Some people just have that gift, and Bill also taught me (and so many family and friends) The Gift of Time. Very simple yet very profound; let's use it preciously for ourselves and those around us.

If we go through our days aimlessly we can get stuck in a rut and find ourselves just living to get by. The ol' "carrot on a stick" or having goals - big and small - breaks all of that up.

Folks often think of meditation as lighting candles, burning incense, going "ommm" (whatever that means it beats me...). However it's actually very simple. Just a minute or two pulling yourself aside and chilling, focusing on breathing, and clearing away those obstacles that screw up our day. 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!). No incense or candles required.2022-09-2210 minSMFR The PodcastSMFR The PodcastEp9: Press Pause: Reflect and Reset!Why not take a minute during your day to "press pause: and reflect and reset?

It only takes a minute (or less) to refresh, and again, reset your mind and hopefully make your day that much better.Of course, there's little story - actually not really a story - that ties it all together; at least that's the intention here.
