606. I named this video podcast, "Performance & Proving Something." I grew up thinking I had to always perform - at school, at church, for my parents, for strangers, for bosses, my spouse, children... basically everyone. Holding hands with Performance was then Proving Something... I had an almost obsessive and…
605 Obligation & Overwhelm - Can you really get rid of it? Can you live in Zen, peace, harmony and happiness? YES you can! If you're like me, there's been many times when I felt like I had so many obligations I couldn't, couldn't get out from under the so…
In this episode, we talk about how we really are. What I mean is that the way we do one thing is the way we do everything. Some people pretend that they can be one way at work and another way at home. Or one way with one group of…
In this episode, we talk about how integrity gives you power. The purpose of this pillar is to both create and uphold your palace. First, you create power as you live in such a way as to leave no doubt about who you are and what you stand for. You…
In this episode, we talk about what makes us who we are. As integrity is concerned with consistency, then integrity is a major part of that definition. There are two main aspects of this consideration. Who you think you are, i.e. the story you tell yourself, and what you are…
In this episode, we talk about the development of integrity as a part of your character. Every year that a tree grows, it creates a growth being. In lean years where there is little water, the growth ring is thinner and in good years, the ring is thicker. The rings…
In this episode, we dive right into all the shades of grey. Sometimes we feel life is complex, and there is significant moral ambiguity. There is a big difference between uncertainty based on insufficient information and moral ambiguity. You own and define what your “true north” principles are. What do…
In this episode, we begin building the pillar of Integrity. Integrity means that something is what it seems to be. I use the phrase “I am integrity. I do what I say, I am who I seem, with no duplicity, camouflage, or guile. When you are faced with a choice,…
In this episode, we launch into another of the incredible pillars that hold up your palace of power. Integrity is a word that gets thrown around a lot. We talk in the physical world about structural integrity and we speak of the integrity of someone's character. What is all this…
In this episode, we wrap up our examination of the Pillar of Truth. If you want to create real power to make a difference in your life, none of the stones in this pillar can be ignored. We can pretend all we want, but the truth is that our pillar…
In this episode, we talk about a common theme that circulates today. Truth is whatever you think it is. True for me, true for you, and all that nonsense. Truth is eternal. My understanding is different from yours and so my access to the power of truth is different than…
In this episode, we talk about a little-acknowledged fact. Truth carries its own power. We all have the ability to sense when something is off. We call that a BS meter or some other funny name. It is real and we all have it. Our spirit carries the ability to…
In this episode, we talk about another thing that is sometimes unpopular. We live in a time where “truth” is a relative construct. What is “true” for me may be different for everyone else. That does not comport with reality. Truth is completely independent of any opinions. We don’t create…
In this episode, we discuss the principles of truth. In addition to the idea that there are “facts'' which are true, the most salient element is the principles of truth. Principles like integrity, love, kindness. Those are true principles and constitute the foundation of real progress and expansion. Reducing truth…
604 Where Do Monsters Come From? Monsters are those habits, fears, and issues that keep you from living your ultimate and being your best. This episode digs deep and explores where they come from and, more importantly, what to do about them. In previous episodes, we talked about how monsters…
603 What are Your Monsters If you're interested in having a convo about any of these topics, please schedule a time to chat at: bookme.name/coachkellan. The purpose of this episode is to talk about how you can identify the ways that your monsters - your fears, issues, blocks, barriers, and…
That was the name of a Pat Benatar song decades ago. It came up for me today because of a video I was watching, and my reaction was surprising. I was stunned and then wholly engulfed, and then slowly moved back to sanity. Join me if you are curious. Triggers…
In this episode, we talk about our ability to perceive truth. This may seem contradictory to the previous stone of factual and absolute truth. It is not a contradiction. Our ability to understand and use the truth to benefit our lives and the lives of others depends on our ability…
In this episode, we talk about the factual aspect of truth. “Just the facts, ma’am,” was a saying on a police show decades past. There are certain facts that are measurable and knowable. The speed of light in a vacuum, The gravitational constant. Those are dependable and specifically known. What…
In this episode, we talk about relative and absolute truth. Scientific hypotheses are continually revised. We operate with the best information we have. In the past, medical wisdom said we cut people and let them bleed to cure the infection. Today we regard such thoughts as barbarous and cruel. In…
There is so much opportunity this very day sometimes we allow what is yesterday to determine today Of course, what happened yesterday may affect what there is to do today, but it need not determine out experience of today I lived so much without taking advantage of the choices I…
