The details matter. Whether it be in the paint strokes of a work of art or the way in which you practice your craft, the details matter if you care about quality. The same applies to your life. Listen to Keith and Rick share how you can stay present to the details so you live your best life.

The true measure of whether you are truly courageous, resilient, kind and loving, is to be tested. It’s easy to be brave and a good person when life lines up for you and other people behave. But what about when life is very challenging and people are really difficult. How do you respond in these situations? In this podcast, the guys discuss how life and relationships are the real spiritual practice because they provide opportunities to really test your personal development, growth and consciousness. Learn to see them that way, practice being your best when dealing with them and watch life become more peaceful.
The experience of the sacred is available through relationship with our spouse, lover, parents, children, and closest friends. They are all our holy teachers providing us with opportunities to practice. There are many paths that can lead to spiritual awakening: service, devotion, meditation, and wisdom are but a few.

I ran across this video on my Facebook feed yesterday, and I’ve watched it several times now. I was moved by the strength and courage that this little girl revealed on her journey from an ostracized little girl into a talented ballerina who was the envy of the ill-hearted. The story inspires and gives hope and sends a clear message to Never Give Up! Please watch. You will be inspired.

This video represents so many of the struggles that so many of us face on a day to day basis. Alvin Toro says it perfectly, “Everywhere you go and regardless of what you do, there will always be those obstacles that put to the test how bad we want to achieve our goals. At the end of the day it is those obstacles that separate those that want from those that do.”
Wow. Whether its weight loss goals, achieving an educational goal or making a business/dream come to fruition, it all comes down to how bad do you want it and how hard are you willing to work. Learn from the failures along the way and view them as opportunities to learn and grow stronger. Trust and believe in yourself.
Right now I am doing everything possible to fight for something that I really believe in. It does not matter the time commitment or the sacrifices made. I am doing it. I know that there is no obstacle too great and no challenge too difficult that we cannot overcome. Whole-hearted passion, determination and hard work will get us through.
My mom’s husband, Larry, was a high school mathematics professor. His license plate read, “GOYA”. Yep, I’m just sure he wanted to send a message to his students to Get Off Your Ass! By choosing to work really hard at one ambition, it will carry over into all areas of your life and you will attract people who share the same work ethic. Be an inspiration to others. I am certainly inspired by those people who I am surrounded by.

In the past, I would not have looked forward to going through trials or encountering obstacles. Today, I look at things through a much different lens. I am excited when something challenging comes my way because I know there will be a pearl at the end. I truly believe that through ever trial there is a growth opportunity, if we choose to see it that way.
