611: 3 Ways to Be Your Best

Instead, you can lead yourself to your own personal vision by remembering: What you think about yourself, you become. Thoughts only have power if you believe them.

This Week's Power Phrase: “I lead myself today.” Quote of the Week: “Work harder on yourself than you do your job.” — Jim Rohn

583: Failure Can Lead to Success
When we define failure on our terms, we are able to see failure as an event, not as who we are. We are able to keep pushing outsides our comfort zone because that is how we learn and grow. In this episode, Dr. Cindra shares with us how to see failure as an opportunity. This Week’s Power Phrase: “I see failure and mistakes as opportunity to learn and grow. I take an easy-going approach when I fail." Quote of the Week: Zig Ziglar said it best, “Failure is an event, never a person; an attitude, not an outcome; a temporary inconvenience; a stepping stone. Our response to it determines just how helpful it can be.”
