For me, hearing what others have said over the years made me reflect on a lot of different things in life, so I wanted to share a few words as well. I wanted to do this episode a little differently and plan to revisit this type of episode as well...words have great power to influence hearts and minds! In this episode, I will share 22 messages with the aim of being the ‘spark’ for you, leading to positive change, growth, and/or reflection! It only takes one word, at the right time, to change someone's life, or to change your own life! The inspiration for this episode (and future episodes like it) comes from an old project I was working on many years ago, with the goal of improving people's outlooks on life --- I was working on a project called "Words Dipped In Awesomesauce!"

In life, one of the deepest questions out there might be ‘Who are you?’, but even deeper than that question, is probably ‘Who am I’, a foundational question if there ever was one. One of the most common things I see on profiles, be it dating profiles or other profiles on other websites, are ‘about me’ sections where people admit that they hate talking about themselves, and would much rather ask someone else about who they are...which brings me to this:

It is safe to say that many people struggle with identity of self...over time, it has been easier for me to accept self when understanding that ‘self’ is not a static thing, but a thing that is always undergoing changes. This episode explores what it means to be oneself, why it is important, and how transformative experiences change us during the course of our lives.

If you believe it, you can achieve it...we often say that and it is a comforting thought with a lot of truth! If we do not believe in the things we are doing, we are less likely to stay committed. If we give something our all and succeed, it is probably one of the biggest boosts to one’s self-esteem that one can get. I tend to think of a powerlifter who is trying to break into 700 pounds for a squat record, and manages toget it done...I can hear the victory yell in my mind!

At the same time, what about the failure? How does that impact people? To make things even worse, how does a setback like injury sound when one is so close? Giving everything, only to get injured, has been a reality for a lot of lifters. There’s rehabilitation, more learning and more growing, advice and help from other people and various sources...and some manage to heal and succeed later down the line with their personal records. Whether you are a lifter or not, know that we can do many great things, but we can’t do everything, and this episode explores being both able to give all, and giving nothing, to different things in our lives!
