Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First

Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 217

Title:          If You Really Want To Be Happy, Then Do The Hard Things You Need To Do

Someone sent me the email which is the fulcrum of this broadcast.

The reply I gave him would surely impact your life too if you are in same exact situation as he, so you can apply the response to your own life.

Here was the email I received:

Dear Dr. JTF,

I am a 38-year-old college dropout whose childhood dream was to become a psychologist like my grandfather.

Right now, I am a librarian at a city library who moonlights on the side as a life coach.

I enjoy my day job, but my life-coaching gig is the work that really moves me – it gives me a chance to indirectly dabble in psychological counseling. This side gig has started to gain traction, and several of my recent clients have told me that I would have made a great medical psychologist.

But if I go back to college and get my degree, then go to graduate school, then complete my internship and dissertation, and FINALLY begin my own legitimate psychologist/counseling practice, it will take me almost eight years from today. And, in eight years I will be 46 years old!

I’m trying to decide what I want to do.

Do you have any thoughts or advice for me?

Sincerely,
An Inspired Reader

And here's my reply:

Dear Inspired Reader,

Sometimes asking the right question is the answer.

Therefore, I have one for you:

In eight years from today, how old will you be if you don’t do it?

Sincerely,
Dr. JTF


I hope this reminds you that TODAY is the day to START…

Forget the past. Forget your age. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

The important question is NOT: Are your desires going to be easy to achieve?

The important question IS: Are your desires worth the hard work?

Deep down you know the answer to the latter is YES!

You have to do hard things to be happy in life.

The things no one else is doing.
The things that frighten you.
The things others can’t do for you.
The things that make you question how much longer you can hold on and push forward.

Why?

Because those are the things that define you.

Those are the things that make the difference between existing and living – between knowing the path and walking the path – between a life of mediocrity and a life filled with happiness and success.

Of course, the hard things are often the easiest things to avoid. To procrastinate.

To make excuses.
To pretend like they somehow don’t apply to you and your life situation.

But reality always rears its head in the end.

And the truth about how ordinary people achieve immense happiness and incredible feats of success is that they step out of their comfort zones and do the hard things that their more educated, affluent and qualified counterparts don’t have the courage, drive, or determination to do.

So for your own sake, start taking action on the hard things TODAY.

I guarantee, you will be blown away at just how remarkable you really are and just how amazing life can be.

And of course if you're struggling with any of these, know that you're not alone:

Feeling "stuck" on what the next steps are for your big goal (such as taking a new career path or finally discovering the work you were meant to do)
Staying positive... even through difficult times like a divorce or another large life change.
Wondering how to get clear on the next steps to move forward when you feel overwhelmed with choices or a lack of time.
All of these paths are different, but the solution starts in the same simple place -- are you asking yourself the right questions?

What if I told you that you could bring your own personal questions straight to me like this reader?

How could having my 1-on-1 professional coaching insight on YOUR sticking points keep you moving forward... no matter how confused, afraid or overwhelmed you felt?

What if you could hear my SPECIFIC ideas about how to harness the possibilities in YOUR own life starting from exactly where you are?

Spoiler alert: you don’t have to wonder.

In the same way that the most accomplished athletes, actors, and entrepreneurs need the guidance of an experienced coach, so do you!


Give it a try today

Wednesday                            6th June 2018 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 265 Title:           18 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I Was 18 This morning I was reading a book at my favorite beach-side coffee shop when an 18-year-old kid sat down next to me and said, “That’s a great read, ain’t it?”  So we started chatting. He told me he was getting ready to graduate from high school in a couple of weeks and then immediately starting his college career in the fall.  “But I have no clue what I want to do with my life,” he said.  “Right now I’m just going with the flow.” And then, with eager, honest eyes, he began asking me one question after the next: “What do you do for a livi...

Morning Vibes With Dr Jerry - The First-Episode 87/Tomorrow Is Not Promised

Thursday    30th November 2017 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 87 Title:          Tomorrow Is Not Promised, Live In The Now!! I have taken a look at how people postpone for tomorrow what they can do today and it really bothers me. It bothers me, not because I am not a believer in planning for tomorrow or even next tomorrow but because the thought process behind the action is that of saying that we have all the time in the world and so there's no reason to hurry. It is this thought process that has left many a man unable to fulfill their destinies and a whole number of others unable to finish the projects that they have started. The story is told of the man who was the head of the family and was expected to pass information about the family to the younger ones, but he kept pushing it forward. Each time the young ones asked for info...
