Get Luck to Flow Your Way: 3 Stages of Luck and How to Ascend from Each

Are you feeling lucky?

Yes??? Great!!! May more come your way.

Wait … What?!? You don’t believe in luck???

Regardless of how you view luck,

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

And on this day, the topic of luck gets thrown around, which is why today we will talk about:

3 Stages of Luck and How to Ascend from Each

Let’s get into it so you can get luck flowing your way!

1. Beginner’s Luck

This is the stage of luck most people think about.

It’s when the complete newbie takes his first shot blindfolded and “magically” hits the target.

It’s when the little boy goes fishing and on his first cast he catches a monster fish.

The problem with this is …

It’s unstable.

You leave your success up to chance.

The way to ascend from this stage is by …

Getting Good!

Set up variables within your day and schedule so that you can practice, expand, and become proficient in what you want to get good at.

Then we ascend to the second stage.

2. Controlled Luck

This is the stage of luck most of the personal development and self-help industry falls under.

It’s when you hear people talk about,

“There is no such thing as luck. Luck is earned!”

It’s when people have put in the work, blood, sweat, and tears to be the best they can be.

The problem with this is …

People can fall prey to becoming rigid with too much structure so they lose adaptability when things don’t go as planned.

Additionally, this can be a subconscious cover up for deeper insecurities that they don’t believe they actually are good at what they want to be good at.

The way to ascend from this stage is by …

Surrender and Faith!

Let go of rigid plans as to how you are going to control and micro-manage your success.

Then we ascend to the third stage.

3. Divine Luck

When you fully surrender in faith, you realize:

Life is orchestrating all events to guide you to your Highest Potential.

Whether you view a situation as good or bad.

Whether you believe you succeeded or failed.

Life is orchestrating all events to guide you to your Highest Potential.

With this realization, you can take inspired action in the direction you want to go …

While also observing where Life is guiding you.

And this oscillation between action and surrender enables you to:

• Perform miraculous accomplishments
• Have peace in the midst of tumultuous chaos
• Eventually lead you to your life purpose

To Recap

There are 3 Stages of Luck:

• Beginner’s Luck
  • Which is unstable
  • You ascend through getting good by practicing and intentionally setting up variables within your day
• Controlled Luck
  • Which can make you improve
  • Eventually it can lead to too much rigidity, lack of adaptability, and serve as a subconscious cover up for deeper insecurities
  • You ascend through surrendering in faith
• Divine Luck
  • Which is when you realize Life is guiding you to your Highest Potential
  • You oscillate between inspired action and surrendered observation
  • You perform miraculous accomplishments, have indescribable peace, and are led to your purpose

I wish you well on your journey of ascending through all the stages of luck, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,

Feeling Weary??? How to remain RESILIENT on your Journey amidst challenges

 

Listen to Podcast Here

Feeling Weary??? How to remain RESILIENT on your Journey amidst challenges

Do you feel like Life keeps throwing challenges at you???

And do you feel weary from your Journey?

Life is an adventure.

Full of:

• Twists and turns
• Ebbs and flows
• Highs and lows

And often, the people who remain resilient amidst Life’s changing seasons are those who …

Experience a glorious transformation beyond their wildest understanding.

Which is why today I am going to provide you a story to

Help YOU Remain Resilient on Your Journey Amidst Life’s Challenges

And YOU can be one of those individuals that …

Experience the glorious transformation beyond your wildest understanding.

Allow these words to echo and reverberate throughout your entire being.

Imagine you are at the base of a mountain.

You look up at its peak, but the top is so high up that you can’t see it.

In fact, it lies above the clouds, and so the peak is concealed by a layer of clouds.

For some odd reason, you feel a burning desire to walk up the mountain and reach its peak.

You see a path in front of you that leads up the mountain and …

You decide to take it.

You know not where it will lead,

But that burning desire moves you.

And so you start off on your journey, full of ambition and energy.

The journey seems easy:

• The path is wide and clear, many people have walked it before you
• You are fueled by a lot of energy which drives you
• That dream is burning within you

Then, some time goes by …

And the road is not as easy:

• The path isn’t as wide or clear, most people haven’t ventured this far and have turned back
• You are tired and your legs begin to burn
• The initial hit of the dream is fading

But still, that little voice inside you tells you to press on.

So you continue to put one foot in front of the other …

And trek up the mountain.

More time goes by …

And now, the road appears impossible to navigate:

• There is no path, no one has walked this far before
• Your legs are on fire and you feel you have no energy left
• You can’t see because you have reached the layer of the clouds
• You are cold, wet, and you begin to wonder … IS MY DREAM TO SCALE THE MOUNTAIN EVEN WORTH IT???

But still, that little voice inside you tells you to press on.

You put one foot in front of the other because that’s all you can see.

And finally …

You break through the layer of the clouds …

And the summit is in sight!

Now, with a resurgence of energy and passion …

You go on an ALL OUT SPRINT to the top.

And once you reach the top,

You experience the most glorious sight you have ever seen:

• You see the whole world
• You see every hill and valley
• You see every river, lake, and stream

And as you reflect on this beautiful sight,

You realize the true beauty is not necessarily in this view,

Rather, the real beauty was in the journey to scale the mountain.

Now, you are filled with a conviction to return and share your experience and journey with the world.

The same is true on our respective Journeys in Life

We have a burning desire to achieve a dream.

We may not be able to see the dream, but we know it’s there and a voice inside us tells us to pursue it.

At first, the road feels somewhat easy:

• The desire for the dream is strong
• We are filled with energy, conviction, and passion
• The Path feels wide because many people have taken similar steps before

Then, the road gets more difficult:

• The desire for the dream begins to weaken
• We begin to grow weary from the constant trek
• The Path seems to narrow because few people have pressed on to this point

Eventually, the road seems impossible:

• You begin to question if your dream is worth it
• You feel like you have no energy to keep pursuing your dream
• You are surrounded by confusion and there is no Path because no one else has walked where you are to walk

Until finally, you break through the clouds and fulfill your dream.

And the view from this newly transformed Being …

Is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.

And you realize the true beauty is not merely in being this newly transformed version of yourself.

Rather, the real beauty lies in the Journey, the process, of transforming into this heightened stage of Being.

With this realization, you feel compelled to share your message with the world.

I wish you well on your journey to remaining resilient amidst the uphill climb of Life’s challenges, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,

Kyle

Want to Win??? 3 Characteristics that separate CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS from mediocre teams

 

Listen to Podcast Here

Want to Win??? 3 Characteristics that separate CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS from mediocre teams

Are you part of a team???

What team are you part of???

Are you:

• On a sports team
• Part of an organization
• Involved in your school or work
• Living in a family or community

What team are you part of???

And do you not merely want to be part of a team,

But do you want to be part of an unstoppable dynasty that wins all the time?

I have had the privilege of being on many teams throughout my life:

• As an athlete
• As a coach
• Traveling across the country with various organizations

And through these experiences, I have identified …

3 Characteristics that Separate Championship Teams from Mediocre Teams

Ready???

Let’s dive in!!!

A few weeks ago, we got to watch the Super Bowl,

America’s most glorious holiday where the entire country gets to watch a clash between the top two teams in the NFL.

This year, the Kansas City Chiefs prevailed triumphant over the San Francisco 49ers.

What makes the Kansas City Chiefs so good???

What has made them the dynasty they are today, winning three out of the last five Super Bowls?

Well, the Chiefs possess these three characteristics, that all championship teams have:

Championship Teams Have a Clear Vision

In the book of Proverbs, there is a line that says:

“Without a vision, the people perish.”

And without a clear vision, your team will perish.

The Kansas City Chiefs had a clear vision:

• Before every season, their vision is to win the Super Bowl
• Before every game, their vision is to score more points and win
• Before every down, their vision is to run a certain run play, pass play, or defensive scheme

What is the clear vision for your team?

• For your school/work
• For your community
• For your family

On Championship Teams, Every Member Thrives in Their Personal Responsibilities

YOU have been blessed with a set of strengths nobody else possesses.

And when you can use them in a way that contributes to the overall upliftment of the team, you exponentially magnify the teams potential.

The players on the Chiefs had their personal positions where they could utilize their strengths to the overall success of the team:

• Patrick Mahomes would pass the ball … he didn’t need to block or tackle
• Travis Kelce would block and catch passes
• Kickers and punters boot the ball
• Every member had their position

What are your strengths???

And how are you using them to propel your team?

Championship Teams are Unified By a Greater Cause

The Kansas City Chiefs played not merely for themselves, but …

They played for a Greater Cause.

• They played for each other
• They played for their fans and family
• They played for the entire city of Kansas City
• Perhaps, they even played for a cause beyond that

What Greater Cause is your team unified by?

• What is the Greater Cause of your family?
• What is the Greater Cause of your school/work?
• What is the Greater Cause of your community/organization?

3 Characteristics that Separate Championship Teams from Mediocre Teams:

• Championship teams have a clear vision
• Every member thrives in their personal responsibilities
• Championship teams are unified by a Greater Cause

I wish you well on your journey to being part of a championship team, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Who Are YOU??? 3 Realizations to Navigate Your Road to Your Calling

 

Listen to Podcast Here

Who Are YOU??? 3 Realizations to Navigate Your Road to Your Calling

Who are YOU???

Why are YOU here???

What is it YOU are meant to do???

Have you ever asked yourself these questions?

Leaders like you and I often ask ourselves these deeper questions on our Journeys of self-exploration.

Throughout my personal Journey, I have identified

3 Realizations to Navigate Your Road to Your Calling

Which I will share with you today.

Are you ready to get started???

Of course you are. I’ll see you in there!!!

1. You have a UNIQUE PURPOSE

What you are being called to do,

Is unlike anybody else.

These days, society seems to always tell us:

• Who we need to be
• What we need to do
• How we need to act

The problem with this is …

Nobody else truly knows who you are, and

Nobody else has done (and will do) what you are meant to do.

I had this realization when I watched the 2008 NCAA college basketball tournament (also known as March Madness).

There was this small school called Davidson, and they had a small player named Stephen Curry.

Stephen Curry inspired me as he played with so much freedom and enjoyment. This was a player who played unlike anybody else.

And from that point on, I committed myself to realize what my unique purpose was …

And I would use it to inspire all who saw me.

2. You have a UNIQUE PATH

Not only is your purpose unique, but

Your Journey to pursue that purpose is unlike anybody else’s as well.

Society seems to tell us there is some magical blueprint or formula to become who we desire to be, but …

Nobody else has ever (or will ever) walk our Path.

I remember after watching Stephen Curry play, I decided I would become a professional basketball player to inspire others like he inspired me.

However, when I embarked on this journey to play basketball,

I soon encountered some mysterious, undiagnosable, and debilitating medical conditions that I have dealt with for the past half of my life.

With these medical issues, I saw my dreams of playing basketball washed away, but …

I realized my Journey to be who I came here to be …

Was unlike anybody else’s Path.

3. Whatever you are called to do, YOU CAN HANDLE IT

I recall one night, while navigating through a lot of turmoil:

• Watching my dreams washed away
• Watching my health become washed away
• Trying to remain resilient through various tribulations such as the pandemic

I was completely fed up with my life situations …

And I went out to an empty field underneath the stars and prayed:

“GOD, YOU have taken so much from me:

• You have taken my dream from me
• You have taken my health from me
• I have faced so many challenges

WHAT MORE CAN YOU TAKE AWAY FROM ME???”

And, once I said that,

It felt as if every cell of my Being was melting away from me …

Until there was nothing else but a ball of fire,

A bundle of energy …

Deep inside me.

And I realized, this ball of fire …

WAS INVINCIBLE …

WAS UNSTOPPABLE

And would carry me to my Purpose.

You have a UNIQUE PURPOSE …

You have a UNIQUE PATH to pursue your Purpose ...

Whatever it is you are CALLED TO DO,

You can HANDLE IT!!!

WHO and WHAT YOU ARE deep down …

Is indestructible!!!

I wish you well on your journey to navigating your road to your Calling, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,

Kyle

Want to Increase Your Productivity??? How to increase productivity in 4 simple steps

Listen to Podcast Here

 

Want to Increase Your Productivity??? How to increase productivity in 4 simple steps

Do you want to flat out get work done???

So you can:

• Make more money
• Have a greater impact
• Spend more free time participating in other activities you enjoy

However, you may be feeling you are not being as productive as you can be …

And this can leave you feeling frustrated …

Because you feel like you are wasting time and energy …

Being busy doing things,

But accomplishing very little.

If any of these scenarios sounds like you, don’t worry,

Because I was the same way.

I spent so much time feeling busy, but not feeling like I was accomplishing anything.

And this led to much frustration.

Until … one day …

I discovered a secret to dramatically increase your productivity.

And today, I will provide you with …

4 Steps to Dramatically Increase Your Productivity

Including:

• How to operate under the laws your biology was designed for
• How to harmonize with these laws within your work day
• How to implement easy action steps for long-term success

Sound good???

Good, now let’s get into it …

Secret to Dramatically Increase Your Productivity

As human beings, we need to realize …

We are a part of Nature.

Everything that is living is a part of Nature.

And since we are a part of Nature,

We operate under the same laws Nature does.

• We have circadian rhythms
• We need to eat, sleep, drink, and so on
• Our energy fluctuates as the weather changes

One of the most prominent laws in Nature is …

Nature has 4 seasons.

And when we align our workdays with these 4 seasons,

We will function more efficiently because we are working as we were created to be,

And we will dramatically increase our productivity.

So how do we align our workdays with the 4 seasons???

Glad you asked 🙂 !

That’s what we will dive into next …

Spring

This is the season of our workday when …

We plant the seeds for what we are going to accomplish for the rest of the day.

During this time,

Journal and/or plan for the day ahead, deciding what you want to accomplish and when you are going to do it.

Or you can knock out some easy tasks that don’t take a lot of:

• Time
• Effort
• Energy

Journaling, planning, and accomplishing easy tasks will get your gears churning and generate momentum for the rest of the day.

Summer

This is the season of our workday when we …

Get Stuff Done!!!

Summertime is GO TIME!!!

During this time,

Get your main work done for the day.

And make sure you …

Accomplish your most important tasks first …

When you have the most energy.

Having a clear focus and lots of energy to execute will enable you to accomplish much more than you probably realize.

Fall

This is the season of our workday when …

We reap the harvest and the rewards of what we did for the day.

Use this time for reflection on:

• What you did well and
• What you would like to do or improve upon the next day

This will begin to wind you down so you can have clarity on the most effective path forward.

Winter

This is the season of our workday when …

We rest and hibernate.

Completely turn off your mind and remove yourself from your work.

This is the season of our workday …

That is most forgotten by our society …

Because we are not actively getting tasks done.

However, it is necessary if you want long-term productivity and success.

Giving yourself this downtime will allow your mind to recharge and rejuvenate,

So you can have more energy for the upcoming days.

Recap

As humans, we are a part of Nature.

As a part of Nature, we operate under the same laws as Nature, including …

Abiding by 4 seasons.

When we incorporate these 4 seasons into our lives and workday,

We function as we were created and can dramatically increase our productivity.

Cut your workday into 4 seasons:

Spring

Plant your seeds for the day.

Journal, plan, and/or accomplish easy tasks to generate momentum.

Summer

Get your main work done.

Start with the most important tasks when you have the most energy.

Fall

Reap the rewards of the day.

Reflect on what you did and how you may want to alter your course.

Winter

Rest and hibernate.

Completely remove yourself from your work so your mind can recharge and rejuvenate for upcoming days.

As you continue to follow this pattern,

You will be able to get far more accomplished than you realize, and:

• Make more money
• Have a greater impact
• Experience fulfillment and explore other activities you enjoy

I wish you well on your journey to increasing your productivity, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,

Ended Your New Year’s Resolution??? 3 Reasons resolutions FAIL and how to set resolutions that work

 

Listen to Podcast Here

Ended Your New Year’s Resolution??? 3 Reasons most resolutions FAIL and how to set resolutions that work

Have you ever created a New Year’s resolution?

Where you started off the year eager to experience a transformation …

But after a few weeks or months,

You stopped following through???

And, if you stopped following through, did this leave you feeling:

• Frustrated
• Dejected and
• Perhaps you even

Questioned your will power?

If so, don’t worry because …

It’s not your fault.

You see …

Society teaches us to set resolutions in a way that isn’t very powerful.

In fact, we are taught to set resolutions in a way …

That will probably FAIL!!!

Throughout my life, I have set many resolutions.

Sometimes they failed, and I was left feeling frustrated.

But …

Sometimes they succeeded.

And throughout this process,

I have discovered a …

Blueprint for creating resolutions that actually work.

So today, I am going to provide you with:

3 Reasons Most Resolutions Fail

And …

How to Set Resolutions That Actually Work For You

About half of the population sets resolutions, but

Less than 10% of people actually follow through on those resolutions!

And it’s not our fault because the way we are taught to set resolutions is not very powerful.

Today, let’s address

3 Reasons Most Resolutions Fail

Most resolutions fail because they are generated by external values rather than internal values.

We are taught to create resolutions that …

Society tells us we should have:

• We should lose weight
• We should enhance our body image
• We should make a lot of money

The problem with setting resolutions with these external values …

Is because there is a deeper part of us that doesn’t really care whether or not we actually achieve them.

And when this deeper part is not fully on board,

We are drastically less likely to follow through.

Most resolutions fail because they are created with our thoughts rather than our emotions.

We think about what we want to achieve and perhaps we’ll even write it down,

But the amount of energy produced by our thoughts and brains …

Is only a fraction of the amount of energy produced by our emotions and hearts!

When we create our resolutions with our emotions, we produce much more energy to follow through.

Most resolutions fail because they are focused on ourselves rather than others and the world as a whole.

We focus on what we want to achieve.

• I want to lose weight
• I want to enhance my image
• I want to make more money

And although it’s great to experience a transformation yourself,

When you can see how that transformation extends to uplift the people and world around you,

So much more energy and conviction is created for you to follow through.

To Recap

There are 3 primary reasons most resolutions fail:

• They are generated by external values rather than internal values
• They are created with our thoughts and brains rather than our emotions and heart
• They are focused on ourselves rather than on how they can impact the world around us

Now, onto …

The Blueprint to Create Resolutions that Actually Work For You

Set aside 5-10 minutes to be silent and still.

Remove yourself from the external world and …

Tune into that deeper part of you and …

Let IT show you what it wants to pursue.

Then, completely immerse yourself in the experience and emotions of having transformed into this Higher Being.

• What do you hear?
• What do you see?
• How do you feel?

And when you are completely immersed in this experience,

See how it extends into the lives of others …

And eventually into the world as a whole.

Finally, when you come out of this experience,

Commit to one action that you will take …

To bring this Higher Being into your Reality.

Then, go out and …

Perform that action from the same emotional state as you felt during this inward experience.

And when you repeat this process consistently:

• Letting your deeper self show you what it wants to pursue
• Immersing yourself in the emotions of having accomplished it
• Extending your impact into the lives of others and the world around you
• And taking action from the same emotional state to bring it into your reality

You follow through on your resolutions and become the Higher Being you are meant to be.

I wish you well on your journey to creating resolutions that actually work for you, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,

Kyle

Be the Hero You've Always Wanted: How to create your Life Story

Listen to Podcast Here

Be the Hero You've Always Wanted:

How to create your Life Story

Do you wish you had the freedom to be anyone you want to be?

However, perhaps you feel powerless and like you are at the mercy of your external circumstances?

And when you feel powerless, perhaps it makes what you do feel …

Meaningless???

Don’t Worry 🙂 …

Today we are going to help you to create the most meaningful story you’ll ever experience, which is …

Your Life Story

A few months ago, I had an opportunity to take a field trip with a group of high school leaders to a Native American museum.

At this museum, there were many cool sights and artifacts, but my favorite part of the trip was …

Learning about the Native American creation story.

Upon hearing the Native American myth of how life came to be,

It reminded me of the importance of stories and …

How YOU can create any story you desire.

Today, we are going to help you create a story you DO desire by …

Creating Your Life Story!!!

All great stories have a similar plot structure:

• There is a Main Character
• The Main Character encounters a Problem
• The Main Character sets out on a Journey to find a Solution to the Problem
• On the Journey, the Main Character experiences many twists and turns, ebbs and flows
• Eventually, the Main Character will come into contact with a Team to help him navigate his Journey
• This Team helps the Main Character transcend his previous perceived limitations and experience a Transformation
• Finally, with this Transformation, the Main Character will leave a Legacy, an impact, on the world for years to come (and live happily ever after 🙂)

Here’s what I want YOU to do:

Sometime this week, carve out 1 HOUR of your day and create YOUR Life Story.

Plug in all the elements and components:

• You are the Main Character
• What Problems are you experiencing?
  • Are they financial?
  • Are they in relationships?
  • Are they stemming from a lack of clarity of your Purpose in this Life?
• What will your Journey look like to find the Solutions to your Problems?
  • How will you navigate your Path?
  • Where are the twists and turns?
  • Where are the ebbs and flows?
• What Team will you meet along the way that will help you navigate your Journey?
  • Friends
  • Mentors
  • Guides
• How will you know when you have transcended your previous perceived limitations and experience a Transformation?
• And, finally, what Legacy will you leave behind that will impact the world for years to come (and live happily ever after 🙂)?
  • Integrity?
  • Perseverance?
  • Love, Passion, and Inspiration?

I highly encourage you to carve out an hour to do this exercise.

This Story will be the most powerful one you will experience.

And once you finish writing your Life Story,

Take Action On It

When you take action on your Story, you bring it into your reality.

And over time, your external world will mimic the Story you created.

One Final Word

Continue to refine and revise your story over time.

Because you will expand and evolve as an individual.

And your Life Story should too.

After refining, revising, and bringing your Life Story into reality for a period of time,

There will come a time when …

I CHALLENGE YOU …

To take the pen off your paper,

And allow Life to write a more compelling story for you.

I wish you well on your journey to creating and living your Life Story, and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Inspiring YOU every step of your way,

Kyle
