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

Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 20 Title:          Not All That Glitters Is Gold!!! This is a popular maxim that I bet you have heard countless number of times that it may have lost its true meaning to you. But have you really sat down with yourself to critically examine its worth? From times immemorial gold has been one object that men and women, Kings and Queens hanker after, while some are willing to die in search of it, others are willing to kill to obtain it and all these are linked to the qualities of gold - its durability, its sacredness, its glittering and reflective nature (especially when exposed to light) and the fact that to acquire gold, one rally must be at his best either in the sports or in the mines. Little wonder then that sports men and women want to win the gold medal by any and all means. High quality gold is an object to ...

Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First - Episode 290/4 Questions You Should End The Week Asking?

    Sunday                          1st July 2018 Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 290 Title:           4 Questions You Should End The Week Asking? If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting. You know that already, right? Because it's common sense, right? Perhaps... Yet, so many of us don't listen to our own better judgment. In fact, oftentimes the biggest difference between those of us who are making positive changes in our lives and those of us who aren't is not one’s superior abilities, but the courage that one has to take consistent action. In other words, some of us sit and wait for the magic beans to arrive while the rest of us just get up and get to wor...
