It comes in all shapes and sizes and its professional and personal. But, failure is often needed on the journey to success. Ask any successful person and I would bet all of them would say they failed numerous times before hitting success. That is how success works.  Don't fear failure - embrace it for what it is.

If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819. https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/ For a long time I was angry. I was bitter and I blamed people for the spot in life I was in. After therapy I started to forgive the people that I believe had wronged me over the years. At first, it was very difficult but over time I started to feel better. I felt a weight lifted from me and I started to become more happy and content.  If you are holding on to resentment and anger against someone I encourage you to forgive them. You don't have to verbally say this to them if you don't want to, but you can say it to your heart. Your mental health and wellness is dependent on this and you can do it.

If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819. https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/ I want to take a moment and talk about 3 Mindset Misconceptions that you might have. 1) When I have more money everything will be fine. Money is very important, but money isn't going to make you happy. Money is a tool, nothing else. If you are a good person money will amplify that. The opposite is also true. 2) I can do everything alone. While it is true that you must make your own decisions you will need your community to help you make the big ones. Life is not a solo sport - we are social beings and we need others to help us on our path. 3) I am my past - You are not your past. Sure, there are decisions you wished you didn't make but your mistakes don't define who you are. You learn from your mistakes and hopefully don't make the same mistakes going forward. This is where a lot of people struggle. There many many more misconceptions but there are at the top for me. Remember you are the pilot of your life - and you can fly anywhere.

They believe they have limited skill sets. This is far from the truth. You can do anything you set your mind to. My next guest is David (Super Dave) Leath. Dave is The Chief Visionary Officer at The Hero Coach where he teaches first responders to translate their skillsets into making a living after their first responder career.  Dave is an active LEO with many years of experience and has his own amazing podcast called The Hero Academy.  In this episode Dave and I talk about some of his highs and lows in Law Enforcement as well as his great work with first responders.

Reach out to me to see if we can collaborate. I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time.

Reach out today at 303.960.9819. https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/ If you want to increase your happiness you have to do what you love in life. This can be personal or professional. Life is too short to work at a job you hate or be in a relationship that brings you heartache and bitterness.  You have this one life. When you do what you love you will never work another day in your life. Most people hate their jobs and where they are at in life.  Take a moment and measure your happiness. If you aren't happy then do something about it. Sometimes you have to step down to step back up. Stay tuned for more great guests on The CJEvolution Podcast. www.cjevolution.com Patrick

I don't think anything is free. Everything you want takes hard work, which is essence, is paying for something. Love for example is not free. In order to have a rich and fulfilling relationship you must work at it. Remember that you have the power to make changes in your life. You always have and always will. www.cjevolution.com Patrick
