6 Proven keys to success worthy of your consideration | Ep 23
Episode Summary
Sometimes, doesn’t it seem like success oozes so easily from some of the people who surround us, whether they occupy a place of national or international recognition or are found in our own communities?
We might wonder and marvel at the picture perfect lifestyles they must have judging from all the trappings of success we see and perceive occurring in their lives. The truth of the matter though is that they are 100% bona fide human beings just like the rest of us - experiencing those highs, lows and in-between life whatevers we all face… it’s part of humanity.
In today’s Victory in Mind Podcast episode, I thought to share some keys of success gleaned from some of the lives of these said individuals, that are worthy of yours and my consideration as we press on towards successfully achieving our life goals.
Be encouraged as you live with victory in mind!TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES
[00:00:00]Intro music and voice over narration for the show
[00:00:43] Introduction to the show and today’s focus, highlighting some real keys to success.
[00:01:13] General ways we define success today, like the Elon Musks of our world versus that teacher that all the students love.
[00:01:50] Let’s keep in mind that the very key ingredients that got them to where they are are not unique traits per se.
[00:02:24] Nor do all the successful people we know come from a background with silver spoons in their mouths.
[00:03:04] The truth is that we each walk our own journey so what an external observer sees in reality, never quite meets the expectations we set up in our minds.
[00:03:55] Perhaps instead, we can glean information, keys to their possible success and work on those areas in our lives. Here are six keys to success to consider.
[00:05:30] Number one, facing fear.
[00:06:52] Number two, tenacity.
[00:08:01] Number three, failure, is part of the journey.
[00:08:54] Number four, strengthening yourself with what you have built up form the inside.
[00:09:43] Number five, being humble.
[00:11:00] Number six, being willing to learn.
[00:11:53] Here’s one of those comfortable, uncomfortable questions…
[00:12:19] Conclusion: keys to success that are worthy of consideration. Thank you so much for listening. Be sure that you subscribe to this podcast.

Do you know the enormous power of your words? | Ep 21
Episode Summary
Lately, it seems like the world is spinning at such a pace, as if out of our control, out of our reach, out of something.
Stories and narratives are being put out by so many and with questionable truth underguarding these “facts” being released. Are they real? Is this a credible source? Do credible sources truly exist any more? And what are the ramifications of all these words, this information being released, for us and for future generations?
Today’s Victory in Mind episode is about the power of our words, what we chose to release or not release into our atmosphere. We are able to shape and control the narrative of our worlds and influence the world of others. The question then remains regarding the content of what we chose to say as to whether or not we are putting out a fire or are we putting a fire out?

6 Remarkable Truths Uncovered in a Nursery Rhyme: Solomon Grundy | Ep 11
Episode Summary
Time, can we get more of it? How about a redo? Raincheck anyone?
All viable questions. Even though the nursery rhyme Solomon Grundy is metaphorical, illogical and perhaps nonsensical in nature, I have to admit there is something to be learned from it. Until we can crack the time code, if it's crackable, we remain bound by the finite concentrates that encapsulate time. This is where Solomon Grundy continues to speak to us.
Solomon's brief life teaches us some valuable points as to how to posture ourselves with this priceless finite commodity we call time.

Episode Summary
In this continuation of Episode 7, Decades worth of Strong Evidence... Never again count yourself out! Part 1, I want to remind both you and I that age can no longer serve as a valid reason for not living life with Victory in Mind. In Ep 7, we started our count up with the 40 - 49 year old age group up until the 60 - 69 year old age group. Today, we continue with our count up. Like me, you might be surprised, challenged and inspired at what you hear in this episode.
That in spite of or despite of time, place and circumstance, these individuals each forge a path to living out their lives to the fullest. They challenge the concept of being “past one’s prime”. Let this be an inspiration to you.

Episode Summary
Celebrating the Original Influencer in our midst… our mothers.
On this Mother’s Day, can we just agree… before there was Social Media, indoor plumbing and the like, mothers worldwide have been, are and continue to be the Original Influencer - generation after generation.
If you’re like me, you've argued with them, agreed, cried with and because of them, laughed with and yes, sometimes at them, smiled on the inside and outside because of them. You and I have been influenced for the good, bad and or ugly, directly correlated to them.
With all this in mind, I find that if given the opportunity, I will gladly celebrate them. How about you? Is there something worth celebrating with your Original Influencer? Then Celebrate it. Let her know.
At the end of this Podcast, I have included an original "Ode of Thanksgiving" I composed to our Original Influencers. Feel free to share it with any woman who fits the bill.

Decades worth of Strong Evidence... Never again count yourself out! Part 1 | Ep 7
Episode Summary
Of a truth, no one knows what our lives will be like tomorrow. The Bible says in James that, “You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.”
If that’s the case, then I want my vapor, your vapor to count. What dreams, ideas and goals do you have that are yet to be fulfilled in your life? Just because you are on the other side of 20, 30, 40 years and beyond, doesn’t mean that ship has since sailed away.
Today on Victory in Mind, we look for inspiration in those who, at different ages and stages in their lives, pursued that which they believe they were created to be and to do, regardless of whether they started their quest in their 40s or beyond.
I’m here to encourage you, to inspire you… It’s never too late to do that one thing. Go ahead, light the embers still simmering inside of you, waiting for that opportune time to be lit.

Proven Tool to overcome Homelessness, Despair, Gratitude | Ep 2
Episode Summary
Let’s keep it real. Life can be tough. There are times when hard situations arise where the last thing you think of is victory. When the prospect of tomorrow looks bleaker than the back side of the moon. I’m here recognizing the fact, that though sometimes as hard as we may try to strategize a plan for the success of our tomorrow, the battle being fought in our minds for our lives is being waged in the present moment. That cry calling for immediate help, motivation, just to take the next step is seen, heard and acknowledged.
In this episode of Victory in Mind, I share how during a challenging time in my life, focusing on primarily seemingly insignificant and unremarkable positive aspects of my life, helped me go through the tough situation I was facing. It didn’t immediately change the situation, but by focusing on things I could be grateful for, I managed to get the strength to live into the next moment and the next until an attainable solution was realized.
