08 Secrets & Game Changers

There are two kinds of people: those who are Growing and Glowing.  And those who are Status Quo-ing.

Growing and Glowing people take what life throws at them and rise to the challenge.  They push against their comfort zones, and live life on the exciting edge of new frontiers, achieving dreams, always reaching for, and raising the ceiling on, their potential.  It can feel scary, but they don't let fear stop them!

Status Quo-ing people take what life throws at them and resign themselves to living below their potential.  They capitulate to fear, and allow the fear to keep them inside of a box too small for the life they feel they might live...if only they had...something.  A little help?  A little support?  Enough courage? Luck?  The perfect circumstances?  A guarantee that their risks will pay off?

Q: What separates the Status Quo from the Growing and Glowing?

A: The quality of their relationships.

The key to a high quality life is having high quality relationships.

That's something we've realized through our own relationship so far.

We've been together since 2001.  The quality of our relationship (and lives) has increased and broadened during that time, and the rewards have been so worth the effort!

One huge thing we realized was that, once we got ongoing support for the changes we wanted to make – in our mindsets, thought patterns, emotional patterns – wow, we were really able to gain traction and momentum to change our lives and our relationships for the better.

When we say "relationships," we're talking about all of them, like...

  • with your self

  • your partner

  • your past

  • your work

  • your thoughts and opinions

  • your larger family

  • your money and finances

  • your time

  • your hopes and dreams

  • and with the Universe/Spirit/God
