Best Life to Live presented by Life Improvemnt Rad

So just how do you measure your age? Do you simply count the number of spins you’ve taken around the sun? That is your chronological age. But you have another clock… that’s your internal clock – your biological age. Did you know you can reset your biological age? A good friend of mine has circled the sun more than 60 times… but over the last year, she has been eating clean, watching her nutrition, exercising and now – after several tests – shows her biological age was reset into her low 40’s. She does Zumba, water aerobics, has two successful home based businesses and is happily married and an involved grandmother; she can run circles folks almost half her age. You must be disciplined in what you eat and how you feed your body nutrition. You body is an amazing machine. Take care of your body by giving it the fuel it needs (food and nutritionals), throw in moderate exercise and keep you life in balance… and your body will take care of you. Food, nutrition, stay active and manage your stress and you can act any age you’d like to be.

No… we aren’t talking about investing in stocks and bonds. Are you living in the majority or are you living in the minority? Think for a moment – the majority of people are living paycheck to paycheck… the minority is living the life of wealth and financial freedom. One way you can move from the majority to the minority is to start investing in yourself. It’s really matter of how we approach things, are you a “spender” or are you an “investor. As a spender, no matter what we talk about – time, money, family, relationships… once we do something it’s done. As an investor, we use that same time to GROW in those same areas. When we invest, things grow; when things grow we have more of what we invested in. As things grow, we begin living the life of abundance.

Do you find yourself always deciding to one thing or the other…? Why not both? Abundance is key; but abundance is a choice we all have. Abundance is simply an understanding that you can’t even harness what is available. There is more money and more time out there than you can possible need. They key is in leveraging. You can make your life look like anything you want it to be. We live in a world of abundance, yet most people live a life of scarcity. We get what we give – if we give abundance, we receive abundance; if we give scarcity we get back a life of scarcity. Start giving abundance, and watch abundance start to come back into your life.

Are you setting goals; or are you setting resolutions? Do you know the difference? This week we talk about the importance of setting goals after you have a strong “Why” or purpose… rather than setting goals for something you would like. You attitude is directly related to you being successful in reaching your goals. You must approach your goals with a “failure is not an option” mind set… Success can be yourONLY option. To reach your goals, you must make daily progress, no matter how small, in support of your goal. It’s important that you take the time to lay out and document your plan – showing your major goal, and the daily steps required to hit your target. If you set daily, achievable goals that lead you to your major goals… then do the daily goals; there is virtually no way to miss attaining your major goals in life.

What keeps you from getting the things in life you really want? If you’re happy to stay where you are, if you are happy with what you have and don’t need anything - you don’t have to do anything… nothing will change. But, if you want more – more health, more financial security, more freedom – whatever; someone out there has the answer. All you need to do is start asking – look for a person that can help you gain whatever you seek. Start asking questions: ask who, why, what, how…. If you ask – you will start getting the answers you need to solve you need. When you ask your customers what they need, you will learn more about your customers and allow you to serve them better. Ask yourself: is it more uncomfortable to ask questions – or is it more uncomfortable to not have what you seek. People love to help people – but if they don’t know what you want they can’t help you. If you want referrals, ask for them; if you want a sale, ask for it; if you want help, ask for it. Don’t keep it a secret.

How do you live your life? Are you one of the people that wake up in the morning, then aimlessly move through you day on auto-pilot… or do you wake up charged and taking steps that move you toward your goals, dreams and desires? Live your live on purpose. I believe each of us has a purpose beyond just waking up, and stumbling through days, weeks and months. Did you ever see someone doing something that looked incredible or sit on a hillside - letting your mind’s eye wander over the life you wish you could have? The great news is that, no matter your age, you can have whatever you wish. All you do is need to is define it, commit to it and plan to achieve it. Growth in your life is a skill we all have – for some it’s a path that comes naturally… for others, we might need a little help define the path we need to have the life we want. But the start of it all, is being aware that each of us can live our life on purpose. It’s all within our control.

In your life, do you know if you are a leader, a follower or both? Do you know what you want? There is a price to be paid for any path. Do you think being a leader is a trait, or a skill? Don’t confuse being a boss with being a leader. I believe every good leader, started – learned how to be a leader when they were following a good leader. If you want to want to live your dream, or be part of some else’s dream? Being a leader certainly has its benefits – but do you know what the price of being a leader is? Tony talks about leadership – both the benefits and the price. But only you can decide if you are willing to pay the price of being a leader so that you may enjoy the benefits of being a leader down the road. Do you want to live your life in the majority – or do you want to live your life in the minority.

There are seemingly countless diets out there… how do you know what works, what doesn’t or more importantly – what’s right for you. There are a lot of “fade diets” that take off a few pounds quickly – but do you understand how? Do you realize what some of these might do to your body? Heck, people can lose 10 pounds by having the flu - but most people don’t think of that as a diet . There is only one way to lose weight and keep it off. This week Tony will outline some of the myths and give you some suggestions if you are serious about permeant weight loss. Spoiler alert: the key has nothing to do with dieting…

Become the person you were meant to be. Stop wandering aimlessly through life wondering why things never change. We live in a world that is constantly changing. The question – do you want to be ready for the changes that life throws at you or are you satisfied letting the changes define you? Do you have a budget, a plan or a goal for your personal development this year? Be responsible for growing instead of being victimized by whatever comes your way.

What really defines you, what you do to make money… or what you do for fun? Let me give you my answer: you are defined by what you do outside of work. It’s important to take an inventory of what things outside of work are important to you; then begin making sure those are a priority in your life. Is it your family? How to you keep them a priority in your life… or are you wishing you had taken up a sport, or a class in something that really interested you. The good news: it’s your life – live it on purpose. It’s never too late to make the changes you need to “do what you want to do for fun”.

How do you define your self worth? It is important to first realize you are in control of setting your self worth. Your job or your career should are things you do, but do not define you as a person. Life plus events equal behavior. Understand there are many aspects that contribute to your self worth and you must understand what things are most important to consider and what things should not be used in determining your self worth. Start making a difference in your life by first becoming grounded.

Do you know anyone that wanted to get out of a job? Maybe it’s you? There are a lot of choices out there, but the question most people have is - how can I make that change? For most adults, we have other obligations that seem to prevent us from doing what we want for work. But - With a little planning, A little hard work you can make it happen. Our host, Tony Daum, has been helping people around the world do what they want for work for over 15 years.

Are you eating to live, for entertainment – or are you just plain addicted to some of your food and don’t even know it? We talk about some very surprising facts about how sugar can control your life.

Do you feel like your life is out of control and everyone is taking more and more of your time? Well, if that’s the case – you need boundaries in your life. Everyone on this planet has the same 24 hours in a day. Do you ever wonder how some people are successful – they have multiple businesses, sit on a board or directors, have a family and still seem to have time to enjoy life? They do it by setting boundaries – and you can too. Don’t let anyone steal your time.

Everyone likes to eat. But the choices we make in our food intake can affect more than just your waistline. “Eating Right” shouldn’t be a lost art. We live in a time when we have more choices, easier access to a variety of foods, yet many people mistakenly skip the foods that will improve our health and fail to give us the energy we need to love life and live it. Making better choices about what you put on the dinner table is not as difficult or expensive as some people believe it is.

Here is a profound concept – would you rather live in abundance, or settle for a life of scarcity? Do you realize a life of abundance is within your reach? You can live in abundance – there is plenty to go around for everyone… you just have to go after it. Start by believing there is plenty for everyone, but know you may need to make changes in your life. You may need to grow different aspects of your life to take full advantage. Don’t settle for a life of scarcity.
