“The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.” –Winston Churchill

The thoughts that pass through our minds are responsible for everything that happens in our life. The predominant thoughts influence our behavior and attitude and reflect actions and reactions. We make decisions based on how we feel, and how we feel in this moment is a reflection of what we are thinking.

In this episode Brett talks about the power of our thoughts and how everything we do starts and ends with our mind.

Perspective determines how we react, to every situation in life. We alone hold the power. When we endure a hardship, a loss, a tough time, we determine the outlook we will have. We can choose to wallow in misery, in pain, in loss, to focus on what isn’t there anymore, what has been taken from us. In turn wee can also make a decision to focus on the positive, to focus on the support and love all around us. What each of us must come to realize is that this is our choice.

In this episode Brett explains that perspective is our choice. Brett shares his personal story of how in one moment his perspective of life changed forever.

The power of emotions, in one moment they have us filled with a rush of love and happiness and the next crying out for sorrow. Emotions are the one thing that really separates us from one another.

Everything we think throughout our day will end up changing the way we feel.

In this episode Brett talks about the power of emotions, and how they can be our biggest attribute if utilized and directed with control.

In this episode Brett talks about how we have created a culture where everything is important and must be addressed immediately.

Well if everything is important, then nothing actual is.
