“Rules without relationship equals rebellion "

If you just have rules with your kids, and there's not that relationship, they'll just rebel

  • Saying you’re okay when you’re not okay
  • Do you really want to be in this relationship
  • Forgiveness and forgiving yourself

  • Summary:

    As we heal, we open up. Today I am speaking with Don Miguel Ruiz. We talk about a variety of topics from respecting your will and the will of beloved ones to forgiveness. It’s your life and it’s your consequences. What do you want out of life? What do you want out of this relationship?

    Stop pretending to be something you are not. The last step of healing is always forgiveness. Forgiveness is the moment you stop wanting the past to be any different. We also chat about emotions. We are not robots void of emotions. We have a full spectrum of emotions.

    If I pretend to be something I’m not, that will damage all of my relationships. Ultimately it’s about being true to you.

    Learn more about Don Miguel Ruiz, his book The 7 Secrets to Healthy Relationships and various great insights during our conversations as we explore healthy relationships and what it takes to have a healthy relationship.

    Quotes:

    “When you’re forcing a yes instead of a no, that’s when resentment comes in.”

    “Every action has a consequence, depending on what consequence you want.”

    “Temptation only exists up to the moment of choice.”

    “To love yourself unconditionally is to respect yourself to make a choice.”

    “What of the hardest people to forgive is ourselves.”

    “The key to enlightenment is effort.”

  • Summary:

    Today I am having a conversation with Jacob Penaranda. He currently strives to end mass incarceration. Jacob speaks wherever he is called to speak. Jacob believes human beings should be treated like human beings if we expect them to be as such. People tend to fear what they don’t know. He believes we need a society that rises up and is there for the community,

    Jacob went to prison for unoccupied burglary and spent the last year of his sentence on confinement. As a child, he grew up in Miami. He gravitated towards violence and wound up serving time for it. Through his journey he has become a huge proponent of reading. He asked himself what his strengths were and was determined to be better and make the most of his experience. He shares in this episode that he would learn 20 new words per week and read anything he could get his hands on.  

    Jacob and I talk about his story and how he got to where he is today. Jacob felt like he became his environment when he was incarcerated. He was able to move past gaining respect through violence and learn how to respond instead of reacting. We dive into relative deprivation, your primary question and how to finding meaning. Jacob has been able to use all that he has learned.

    Quotes:

    “I was in prison and of prison.”

    “All of the world is filtered through your perception.”

    “You can’t influence somebody when you feel like you’re being judged.”

    “I was able to find gratitude and appreciate my situation in that moment. It shifted the trajectory of my life as a result of me saying I can’t change this, what would alter my perception of this current situation. And I came to the realization that there are plenty of people on this planet that on my worst day would probably be happy trading places with me.”

    “Some people are the story and some people are the story teller.”

    Discussing Life Perspective with Dr. Vince

    In this episode, we discuss about:

  • Life perspective
  • One Word: Effort
  • Mental cognitive decline
  • Wisdom from age
  • Learning from others
  • Importance of family history
  • Respecting your elders
  • Summary:

    Watching my friend Jordan fight testicular cancer has been a reminder of how short and precious life is. On today’s episode I’ve called on my old friend Dr. Jimmy Lopez to discuss lessons I’ve implemented from his life’s perspectives.

    Together we discuss how we represent our time spent left on earth, whether it’s how many Super Bowls we have left to watch, how to many visits with our parents are in our future or how many more books can be read. This viewpoint allows us not to solely be focused on our achievements but to find contentment and enjoyment in the present day.

    We also chat about how to use technologies, both old and new, to capture and further communicate our personal histories. Listen in on Jim’s beliefs on how we should not think of the elderly as burden, but as a source of wisdom.

    Quotes:

    “I’m happy yet I’m blissfully unsatisfied.”

    “Learn to receive love as much as you give.”

    “I want to know what you know.”

    “Mushrooms and cannabis right, this is like God’s gift to humanity.”
