Sometimes I feel like the things I really want in my life are not happening and that can really get me down. However, the older I get the more I realize the more I try to force something into my life, the more that life pushes me back. I have learned that sometimes I have to go with the current instead of against it. What about you? Are you going with the flow and going against it? I have learned the more I go against the current, the more stress I have in my life. I have learned that whatever happens is going to happen because I can't control a lot of things in my life. What about you? You are exactly in the place you need to be right now. I know that is hard to hear sometimes, but it's the truth. There is a plan for you. You just have to believe and be grateful now.  Go out and conquer your day and week.  Stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast.   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

It was never designed to be perfect. Mistakes happen, but when an innocent person gets sent to prison based on a crappy criminal investigation and subsequent trial and then gets released years later, we all should demand accountability and answers. My next guest is Jia Wertz. Jia Wertz is an independent documentary filmmaker pursuing stories that explore wrongful convictions in the name of protecting the social order. She is currently investigating the vagaries and inconsistencies of the American Criminal Justice system through the story of Jeffrey Deskovic and other exonerees who have had their freedom restored at the cost of irreparable damage to their minds, relationships and families.Her debut documentary short titled Conviction premiered at the Greenwich International Film Festival and saw success on the festival circuit. The short was selected at numerous festivals including New Filmmakers NY, Cannes International Independent Film Festival, Independent Cinema Showcase, New York Cinematography Awards, Best Shorts Fest, among others, prior to being featured on Amazon Prime. The film is nominated for Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Documentary Film at the Georgia Documentary Film Festival.She is currently in the final stages of post-production on the feature-length documentary of the same story. Jia is from Calgary, Alberta and currently lives in New York City with her husband and son. She is a graduate of New York Film Academy.In addition, Jia is a featured writer for Forbes, has contributed to a number of fashion and business publications, and the Founder and fashion designer of Studio 15.

Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. Remember you are honored, cherished and you are loved.  So many people think they tarnished. That they are defined by the mistakes they have made in their life. Whether it be financial, career or relationships, we all make mistakes. Mistakes are a part of life. However, you are not defined by your past. Don't let your past control your future.  Things in your life can get better and they will get better, but you have to belief that they will. You have to know that they will. You are a powerful magnet. You are bringing things into your life, good or bad, due to your thoughts. Thoughts become things.  The Law of Attraction is real. I didn't used to believe in that, but I do now. I believe because this law has worked and continues to work in my life. It can for you too.  Remember you have so many talents and good to give back to the world. Let the past live in the past. Start controlling your future. You have the power. You always have. Have a great Monday and a great week.  Stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast www.cjevolution.com    Patrick

You are a magnet sending out a frequency. Whatever you send out to the universe it will give you in return. Like attracts like. If you are constantly stressed, worried, angry or resentful guess what? You will get that in return. The Law of Attraction never fails. It's always working when you are thinking, which we all are doing all the time (except maybe when we are sleeping). I want you to take a moment and close your eyes for thirty seconds. I want you to think of  something happy. Something positive. I also want you to smile when you are doing this.  How do you feel? I bet you feel better.  Remember you control your thoughts. You are the master of your thoughts. As you go throughout your day remember Your Thoughts Become Things.  When you start to realize this, your life will change - for the better. stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast. www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

Hello everyone and welcome back to Microcast Monday. A short burst of motivation and inspiration to get you started on your new week. Special thanks to all the brave men and women who work in the criminal justice field. Thank you for what you do. Remember you are honored cherished and you are loved.  This is the last Microcast Monday before we head into the new year and I want to thank EVERYONE for making this podcast the success it is. Because of YOU we are a TOP Ranked Criminal Justice Podcast.  As you head into the new year, you need to focus on YOU. Then you need to focus on the following FIVE things that have to do with YOU. 1) Health - Your body runs it all - If you aren't healthy or you constantly feel thoughts of being unhealthy, EVERYTHING else will suffer.  2) Your Mind - Mindset is key. Remember you are a MAGNET. Like attracts Like. If you are constantly thinking about the things you don't want in your life - guess what? You will get what you don't want. 3) Family and Friends - Why didn't I put this first? Because if you don't have yourself in a good place how can you be good for your family and friends. I am not trying to imply that family and friends are not important, because they obviously are. However, you need to take care of yourself FIRST.  4) Finances - Money isn't everything, but it is important in our lives. If your finances are a mess then it will no doubt contribute to your stress and worry going into the new year. Make getting your finances in order a priority in your life.  5) Work - Not that work isn't important, but if you are not taking care of yourself then your work will suffer. I speak from experience. And, if you hate your job, a lot of people do, then it's time to make a change. There are plenty of opportunities out there.    There are more we can put on this list, but I think these are important for you to get you started in 2021. They will be the foundation of your success.    Remember that you can do anything you want in your life. Reach out to me, I would love to hear from you.    Stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

This application-based technology is a MUST have for your organization. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com Take care of yourself first. Imagine you are a cup. The resources you earn each day is water. The energy, time, and resources you give to others are holes in the bottom of your cup. A cup that is losing water is a life filled with desperation, anxiety, and stress. But when your cup is gaining water you are happier, hopeful, and excited. If you give more each day than you get, your life will get worse and worse. Fill. Your. Cup. First. (Garrett Petticrew) How do you fill your cup first? Start by building your foundation. Your foundation consists of the following: Body and Mind – Exercise and meditate. Remember your body is the only one you will get. Take care of it. It’s your temple. Your body and mind control it all. Meditate. I love meditation. If you would have told me about it a couple years ago, I probably would have laughed at you. I don’t laugh anymore because it has worked for me and it will work for you. Sleep – Believe it or not you need it. Stop thinking you are fine with 4-5 hours a sleep. You aren’t. Deep down you know it. You are just in that cycle. I know because I was once there. Your body needs to re-charge and regenerate. It accomplishes this with much needed sleep. You should be getting 7-8 hours of sleep. And, if you are working Graveyards you can still get the sleep you need. You just need to make it a priority. Food – Food is the energy your body needs to operate at your peak. We all know what is good and bad for us, but many of us choose the bad. Start eating better NOW. Your body and mind will thank you. Remember – FILL YOUR CUP FIRST   Stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick   Reference to this show   https://medium.com/@gpetticrew/how-to-become-independent-fill-your-cup-first-e29456f2cc16

Hello everyone and welcome back to The Top Ranked Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast. Top ranked because of YOU, the listener and supporter. Thank you for tuning in and sharing this show, and others, with your family and friends. Subscribe to the show and give us that 5-Star Rating and Review on Apple Podcasts.  Welcome back to Microcast Monday. Remember Monday's are great days. It's day to reset. Reset in the right direction with a brand new day and a brand new week.  As we all reflect on this difficult year, I want you to dig deep into with your happiness. Are you happy? If yes, then great. If not why? Remember that YOU control your happiness. Not anyone else. Don't give that power away. Why would you? So many people look to alternatives for happiness and they don't realize that they have all the power. Your mind is powerful. Your mind is a magnet. Your thoughts will manifest into reality. If you are unhappy, don't focus on what is bringing you unhappiness. Stop giving it energy. Rather, focus on people, places, memories etc. that MAKE YOU HAPPY.  Also, decide to be happy rather than being right. Sometimes a friend, spouse or child might do something wrong, make a mistake etc. Don't focus on what they did wrong or the fact you were right. Just be happy. You can't control everything, but you can control your thoughts and how you react to life.  As you go throughout the day, practice being happy. Remember you have control over every aspect of your life.   Stay tuned for more great guests on The Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast   www.cjevolution.com   Patrick

We live in a world where we want things to happen RIGHT NOW. But, that is not reality and that is not going to bring you want you want, and need, in your life. Remember that patience is a virtue.
