Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Transform Your Life podcast, I talk about the importance of living your own purpose in life rather than conforming to the expectations and ideals of others. I talk about how we can get stuck in careers, relationships, and situations that don't align with our true desires because we seek the approval of our parents, partners, and society. I ask you to explore whether you are truly living a purposeful, fulfilling life on your own terms or living your life for others. As I ask the last question, I think back to the 1991 movie, The Dead Poet's Society, and I think about the movie character named Neil. He wanted to pursue acting and loved it, but his stern father wanted him to go to Harvard Medical School. Neil hated the idea of medical school and found it soul-crushing, but he agreed. You'll have to watch the movie for the story's conclusion, but it's not uncommon for people to deny their own hopes, wishes, wants, and dreams and instead live their lives to please their parents. Often times cultural and familial pressures guide people down a path that doesn't fulfill them, and they live decades misaligned from their own purpose while trying to please others. So, it's important to ask whether you are living your own purpose or someone else's. Another purpose-robbing action that people often get into is seeking validation from others. This is a surefire way to live an unfulfilled life. For example, a friend of mine was constantly motivated by a desire for his father's approval, and that led him down an obsessive path of constantly trying to prove himself. This behavior disconnects you from your higher self and obscures your true purpose. You can't create an authentic life while dependent on external validation. I have found that the key to living your purpose is surrendering to your destiny and innate talents. This involves getting quiet, listening to your intuition, and taking aligned action. We must focus on the importance of being grateful and on contribution rather than achievement. Here are four key points you may want to keep in mind: Surrender to your innate talents and destiny.Listen to your intuition and take aligned action.Express gratitude and focus on contributing.Achievements will naturally follow purposeful contributions. You must examine whether you are living someone else's purpose or your own. If you are not thrilled by how you spend your days, you are likely conforming to others' expectations. I challenge you to get creative, listen within, and take steps each day to live your own purpose. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway When you are living your purpose, you are contributing your talents to activities that light you up, and you will experience true joy and fulfillment. Your key is being brave enough to live life on your own terms. Just do it. Mentioned Resources: EPISODE 280: History, Humanity, and Spiritual Ego.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim continues his transformative “Shaman’s Tips for an Amazing 2026” series with Part 3, diving into four more timeless lessons from Don Javier and Don Juan. Through their teachings, Jim reveals how much of what we call “reality” is merely a web of illusions—identities, fears, and appearances we’ve unconsciously created—and how to transcend them.  He explores the illusion of identity, the toxicity of overthinking, and why reason and rationality can trap us in limitation. Jim also shares how to shift out of appearances and reclaim your awareness as the creator of your experience. And, in true Don Juan fashion, he closes with a blunt reminder: we don’t get what we want in life because we’re being ridiculous—stuck in self-doubt and fear.  If you’re ready to stop being ruled by fear, logic, or other people’s expectations, this episode is your invitation to rise above the illusions that keep you small and embrace the truth of who you really are—pure, creative consciousness.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Replacing one illusion with another (02:52) Jim explains why most people simply trade one illusionary identity for another—and how to connect instead to the most empowering truth: that you are infinite intelligence.  The toxicity of reason and rationality (12:01) Discover how overthinking, analysis, and constant reasoning can block intuition and spiritual flow—and why true awareness comes from sensing, not thinking.  We are slaves to appearances (21:19) Jim reveals how focusing on appearances—money, health, or status—traps you in limitation, and why awareness of your creative power is the only true freedom.  You don’t get what you want because you’re ridiculous (31:20) Learn Don Juan’s hard-hitting lesson about “ridiculousness”—the self-talk and beliefs that make you doubt your worth, potential, and power.  Reclaiming your divine identity (37:03) Jim summarizes how recognizing yourself as consciousness—the ultimate power in the universe—dissolves fear and transforms how you live, act, and create.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your reality is built from your attention. When you stop overthinking, stop reacting to appearances, and remember you are infinite intelligence, everything changes. You are not your illusions. You are the creator behind them. Drop the ridiculous stories, trust your higher awareness, and step boldly into 2026 as the conscious, limitless being you truly are.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now As you read the headline you probably thought, “What…what the heck is intrinsic ratitude?” Right? Totally understandable and “ratitude” is my word for ‘radical gratitude’ and intrinsic is what’s deep inside of you and inherent to your BEing. When I say intrinsic to your being, I mean things like your ability to see, smell, taste, feel, and even your ability for your heart to beat and for you to breathe. Oprah has said, “Gratitude is the attitude” and many of us have heard that before but how many of us truly live that? How many of us embody it? How many of us understand that to the core of our being? When we do, it changes everything in us and around us, and when we live it in our daily lives they radically transform. In this episode, I talk about my journey to finding “intrinsic ratitude” in my life. And, I assure you, it has been a journey and all of us can do it if we commit just 5 minutes per day to having intrinsic ratitude. The great thing about ratitude is that it’s literally an avenue to all that you want in life. It’s free and yet most of us overlook it in our lives or we’re tepidly and mildly grateful but we’re not really embodying it. Let me ask you, do you take time during your days being immensely grateful for all that you have? I mean genuinely grateful, not perfunctory gratitude. I mean instead of just saying you’re grateful because you’re “supposed to” can you feel it in your bones, do you embody it. Do you savor your gratitude?You’re not fully aware and alive until you can reach this place in yourself and all else is just being externally influenced. All else is not being fully present in life and not being fully immersed in life. When we start immersing in life we start infusing with life. And, when we infuse it, it’s as if we are co habituating and living in communion with all of life…and that is power. In this episode I discuss:[7:04] How having gratitude will change your life[13:57] How once you are living in gratitude the Universe will start reflecting that back[18:55] Having gratitude for your breath, your heartbeat[23:15] An exercise in being grateful for your hands Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway What if you woke up today with everything you were genuinely and intrinsically grateful yesterday? Ponder that….

Most people work backward, they “work” from where they are to where they want to be. It makes sense but it’s a strategy that keeps people trapped where they are in life. In today’s episode, the first thing that Kathy needs to identify specifically what “Point B” is for her. You’ve heard the old phrase, “If you don’t know where you are going in life, how will you know when you get there?” The clarity of the path is vital. Without clarity about where you want to go, you’ll most likely flounder throughout life. Next, in this episode, I talk about “Working FROM Point B instead of working TO Point B.” This one simple distinction is what causes people to spin their wheels for years. When you “work from” where you are you just keep repeating where you are in life. In this episode I talk about:[2:44] Other aspects of Kathy’s question which keep her trapped[4:54] The fear that exists between Point A and Point B[6:50] Speaking your existence from positives instead of negatives[8:22] Why you have to give up what you have to get what you want[16:31] The difference between thinking from possibility and resignation And finally, why it’s so vital that you work “From Point B instead of to Point B.” It’s a subtle but huge distinction.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim shares powerful lessons from his shaman and mentor, Don Javier (and Don Juan), offering four timeless spiritual principles to help you create a truly extraordinary 2026. As Jim prepares to evolve the show into a new era of “applied spirituality,” he explores how merging ancient wisdom with modern psychology can transform how we live, work, and relate to others. From authenticity and truth to fear, choice, and personal freedom, Jim dives deep into the energetic roots of human behavior. You’ll discover why being anyone other than your true self drains your power, how fear hides behind every lie, and how defending your beliefs or feeling “stuck” are just choices waiting to be reclaimed. If you’re ready to release self-deception, step out of fear, and start living in full alignment with your soul, this episode gives you practical, shamanic guidance to make 2026 your most liberated year yet. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: Being who you are not is work (03:15) Jim reveals how pretending to be someone you’re not drains energy—and why authenticity is the only sustainable power source.  Every lie comes from fear (11:30) Explore how fear drives dishonesty, from small white lies to lifelong self-betrayal, and learn to replace it with radical honesty.  Defending yourself defines you as someone who needs to defend (17:50) Jim explains why letting go of the need to justify your choices is the path to true agency and autonomy.  Being stuck is a choice (24:30) A deep dive into personal responsibility—how we unconsciously choose stagnation and how to reclaim our freedom through conscious choice.  Applied spirituality for everyday life (32:45) Jim shares how he’s transforming the podcast to blend spiritual wisdom with practical application, helping you live your truth daily.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Every moment of your life is a choice—and the courage to choose truth over fear is the foundation of freedom. When you stop pretending, stop lying, stop defending, and start choosing consciously, you reclaim your energy and power. Authenticity isn’t a risk; it’s liberation. As you walk into 2026, ask yourself: Where am I still pretending? The moment you answer honestly, transformation begins.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

⁠Start Your Transformation Now How often have you set goals or wanted something badly only to find that you fail over and over in achieving it? If you can say yes to the line above, you’re not alone, this is the pattern for most people and the cause is simple, people are setting goals for things that are not in their self-image. People are trying to perform at levels that are outside their self-image and subconscious identity. Many years ago I remember hearing the motivational speaker Les Brown said, “You cannot operate outside of the context of the vision you have for yourself.” Which basically means, you cannot be, do or have what you are not. In this episode I talk about:[1:24] What your self-image is and how it was created[2:21] The cycle of self-identity reinforcement[5:57] The illusion of self-image[15:53] Why you’ll never live up to your full potential[27:22] How to reverse engineer your life from the inside out[31:01] And, How nothing in your life will change until you change There’s an old Tibetan saying, “What you are on the inside is what you are on the outside.” If you want more in your life you must BE more in life. There is absolutely no escape from this concept. You must first be it in your mind before you can have it in your life. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You can’t achieve what’s outside your self-image. Discover how your subconscious identity limits your performance and learn how to reverse-engineer your life for success. Remember, you must first be it in your mind before you can have it in your life.   Let’s Connect:  ⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠LinkedIn⁠  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now When do you know it’s time to let go of something that’s no longer working—your job, your relationship, your habits? In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim breaks down the emotional and energetic signs that it’s time to release what’s draining you so you can step into something new. He explores how to identify the thresholds and criteria that signal true change is needed—and why courage, not comfort, is the key to evolution.  Drawing on personal experiences and stories from clients, Jim explains how to create clear decision criteria, tune into your intuition, and stop letting fear or guilt keep you stuck in unfulfilling situations. Whether you’re facing burnout, a stagnant relationship, or misaligned work, this episode helps you find clarity and confidence in taking the leap toward what’s next.  If you’ve been feeling the nudge to make a big life shift but haven’t known when or how—this conversation gives you the framework and courage to finally do it.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Knowing when to quit (02:00) Jim shares how the absence of clear criteria keeps people stuck in jobs and relationships long past their expiration date.  The power of defining your criteria (06:20) Why setting emotional and time-based boundaries helps you make confident, guilt-free decisions about what to release.  Family, guilt, and emotional freedom (09:15) How to handle toxic relationships—even with family—and protect your mental and emotional health.  Fulfillment versus burnout (12:30) Jim’s personal story of leaving a high-paying corporate job and discovering how alignment matters more than money.  Growth, alignment, and values (17:50) How to assess whether your current situation supports your evolution—or keeps you small.  Your emotional litmus test (34:30) The simple gut-check question that instantly tells you if it’s time to walk away.  Moving forward with courage (38:00) Jim explains how fear keeps people stuck and why courage is the bridge between endings and new beginnings.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Life constantly invites you to evolve—but evolution requires letting go. When you cling to what’s no longer aligned, you block what’s waiting to unfold. Ask yourself: If this situation were gone, how would I feel? If the answer is “relieved,” that’s your truth. Trust it. Change takes courage, but freedom always rewards those who listen to their inner knowing and act on it.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

If you have a pulse, I’m sure at some point in your life you’ve asked yourself this very same question, right? “Why do I stop working out?” “How come I can never stick to my new diet? “Why do I start new things and quit?” Why am I always broke?” And, the list goes on.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim invites listeners to look beyond the noise of global division and fear to discover what it truly means to be the solution instead of adding to the chaos. He explores how humanity’s turmoil stems from low-frequency emotions like fear, control, and ego—and how conscious awareness and self-mastery can elevate both the individual and collective vibration.  Jim shares how old societal structures are collapsing, why that’s not a crisis but a sign of evolution, and how each of us has a role to play in guiding humanity into higher consciousness. Through stories from his mentors, like Don Javier and Akio Matsumura, he illustrates that self-awareness, empathy, and frequency management are not spiritual luxuries—they are responsibilities for those who came here to lead and heal.  If you’re ready to stop reacting to fear and start leading with awareness, this episode will show you how to become a stabilizing force in a chaotic world—and a light for others who have forgotten who they are.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why chaos dominates our world (02:10) Jim explains how fear and division feed off each other and why humanity’s turmoil is an invitation to evolve, not a punishment.  Becoming the stabilizer (06:22) You are here to bring calm to confusion—Jim shares why leadership begins with mastering your own emotions and frequency.  Seeing through another’s eyes (12:45) The powerful lesson from diplomat Akio Matsumura that transformed how Jim views empathy, politics, and healing global divisions.  The physics of frequency (18:30) How thought creates emotion, emotion creates vibration, and vibration determines your frequency—and the free resource that helps you shift it.  Why you chose to be here now (24:11) Jim reveals why you incarnated in this turbulent time and how to fulfill your role as a light worker and healer on the planet.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You came to this planet not to drown in chaos, but to calm it. Every moment you choose peace over fear, awareness over reaction, and love over division, you raise the collective frequency of humanity. Being the solution begins with self-awareness—knowing that your vibration shapes the world around you. When you master your inner world, you automatically become the lighthouse others seek in the storm.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Most people think success in life is mental, and it’s not just that …it's biological or rather, neurological. Honestly, I’ve already created an episode on habits (neurological), however, I wanted to put a spin on it in this episode. Being 100% upfront, I’m passing through a nasty cold and hosting a house full of people for family vacation – 8 adults, 2 toddlers and 4 dogs, so my attention span is shot. However, I do talk a bit about habits in this episode and I make a recommendation about how to reprogram your habits. You don’t get what you want in life, you get your habits and it’s VITAL that you learn to reprogram your subconscious mind and your habits. I direct you in this episode on how you can do that.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this thought-provoking episode, Jim sits down with Emma Dunwoody, a world-renowned Human Design expert, behavioral coach, and author of Human Design Made Simple. Emma shares how Human Design goes beyond traditional personality tests like Myers-Briggs and Enneagram, offering an energetic blueprint that reveals your authenticity, purpose, and how you’re designed to thrive in relationships, business, and life.  Emma breaks down the origins of Human Design, why so many people struggle with strategies that don’t work for them, and how understanding your design helps you release conditioning, honor your energy, and step into sovereignty. Through personal stories and insights, she shows how Human Design can transform everything—from relationships to decision-making—by shifting from the head to the body and uncovering your unique strategy and authority.  If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to “fix yourself,” exhausted by running other people’s strategies, or searching for clarity in relationships and purpose, this episode will give you a roadmap to your authentic self.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  What Human Design Really Is (01:19) Emma explains how Human Design differs from traditional personality tests and why it’s the energetic roadmap to authenticity.  The Five Human Design Types (07:32) Discover the roles of Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors—and what they mean for your energy and life path.  How Conditioning Shapes (and Limits) Us (12:50) Why we take on other people’s energy and conditioning, and how Human Design helps you separate what’s truly yours from what isn’t.  Relationships and Human Design (16:27) How knowing your design—and your partner’s—can transform conflict, connection, and compatibility in relationships.  The Power of Undefined Centers (22:57) How “open spaces” in your chart reveal conditioning, trauma bonding, and why we repeat painful patterns until we decondition them.  Applying Human Design to Everyday Life (30:01) From relationships to decision-making, how Human Design provides sovereignty and clarity in navigating life.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  True transformation isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you already are. As Emma shares, Human Design gives you permission to step out of conditioning, stop running other people’s strategies, and embody your authentic energy. When you align with your design, you gain sovereignty, clarity, and the freedom to live your potential.  Mentioned Resources: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/ https://www.instagram.com/the_human_design_coach/ https://www.emmadunwoody.com/maggie Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin challenges one of the most widely accepted self-help mantras: that belief is the foundation for manifestation. Drawing from ancient wisdom, his own personal breakthroughs, and universal energy principles, Jim explains why belief isn't the source of your power—it’s intention. He shares the key reasons why trying to "believe harder" can block your desires and how real manifestation begins with something deeper: clarity, surrender, and trust.  For anyone who’s exhausted by vision boards, affirmations, and the endless effort of “trying to believe,” this episode offers a radical and liberating truth: you are not the manifestor—the universe is. Jim breaks down how to stop interfering with your desires and start co-creating with universal energy by doing less and trusting more.  If you've been asking, “Why isn’t this working for me?”, this episode will flip your perspective and give you the clarity you need to finally allow your manifestations to unfold—without all the struggle.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why Belief Is Overrated in Manifestation (00:30) Jim dismantles the "you must believe" myth and explains why belief is a product—not a requirement—of manifestation.  The Simple 3-Step Manifestation Formula (09:45) Set the intention. Release it. Let the universe do its job. That’s it.  How Trying Too Hard Blocks You (13:30) Jim reveals how effort, force, and "working on it" create resistance—and how ease accelerates manifestation.  You're Not the Manifestor—You're the Medium (17:50) Learn how manifestation really works: you project, the universe manifests.  Why Attachment Destroys Creation (26:30) Jim shares how digging up the seed of intention every day keeps it from growing—and what to do instead.  The FedEx Analogy That Changes Everything (33:00) Trust that the universe will deliver, just like you trust a package will arrive after you send it.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You are not here to manifest through effort—you’re here to manifest through clarity and trust. Your only job is to set a crystal-clear intention and know that it's already done. Let the universe take care of the rest. Just like you don't worry after dropping off a FedEx package, you must trust your desires are already on the way. The more you force, the more you delay. So stop trying, start trusting, and remember: manifestation is the universe’s job—not yours.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  Nic was a recent student of mine and we visit about his transformational path and how much he has changed in the last six months and how you can too. This episode is near impossible to title as we talked about so much. The primary things we talked about are: subconscious values, self-talk, subconscious habits and choice. And, a whole lot more but this gives you an idea of the treasures in this episode. As you’ll hear, Nic thought he had life “dialed in” and thought he had it all together until we worked together and he quickly discovered that he was working at a small percentage of his ability. An amazing story he shared and this applies to many, many people is that even though he had his life “all together” he was struggling with why he could never get to the next level in life. He reveals his huge “ah-ha” moments with me and I’m certain this will apply to many people. As stated in the headline, we dive deep into his realization of how his subconscious values were driving him, and yet he did not know it. This will be a huge and eye-opening segment for you listening. Another key takeaway is the importance of “inner-outer alignment” and how he’s used this to better align his entire life. Candidly, there is a ton in this episode and there will be pretty much something for everyone so give it a listen and enjoy!

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin reveals a trait that rarely makes the “top 20 lists” of success skills but is, in reality, a game-changer: resourcefulness. Through powerful stories—from Tom Hanks’ Castaway to entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Susie Batiz—Jim shows how resourcefulness, not resources, is what separates those who thrive from those who stay stuck.  Many people wait for the “perfect time” or for more money, connections, or opportunities to arrive. Jim challenges that mindset by making it clear: your life doesn’t change when you get more resources; it changes when you choose to become more resourceful. Fear, excuses, and victimhood hold us back, but resourcefulness makes growth inevitable.  If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have what it takes to move forward, this episode will give you the clarity and inspiration to figure it out, break free from resignation, and finally create what you want.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why Resourcefulness Matters More Than Resources (06:17) Jim defines resourcefulness and explains why it is the foundation of real success.  Stories of Resourceful Entrepreneurs (08:00) How companies like Apple, Amazon, Subway, and Ring started with almost nothing but became billion-dollar brands.  The Role of Fear and Victim Mentality (14:29) Why fear keeps you powerless and why shifting to resourcefulness transforms everything.  Settling vs. Creating (18:00) How “agreeing” to your circumstances keeps you stuck—and how to stop settling.  The Subconscious Mind as a Tool (21:00) How engaging your subconscious mind can unlock answers and creative solutions.  Resourcefulness in Action (22:00) Jim’s personal stories of becoming resourceful to create multimillion-dollar outcomes.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Resourcefulness is more important than resources. If you want more in life, you must figure it out, get creative, and choose action over excuses. If you refuse to become resourceful, you are in silent agreement with your current reality. The truth stings, but freedom comes when you own it—and then act.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin shares one of the biggest missed opportunities of his life—how not acting on advice to buy Bitcoin at ten cents a coin cost him $1.2 billion. Through this story, Jim explores the deeper lessons behind missed chances, fear, and procrastination, showing how hesitation keeps us stuck while action opens the door to growth.  This conversation isn’t about regret—it’s about how fear, uncertainty, and waiting for the “perfect time” sabotage us more than bad decisions ever could. Jim explains why opportunities slip away, how to shift your perspective around risk, and why action—even imperfect action—is the only way forward. If you’ve ever looked back and thought, “I should have done that,” this episode will change how you see opportunities and give you the mindset shift you need to stop hesitating and start acting. What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why Opportunities Slip Away (02:00) Jim explains how fear and uncertainty cause us to ignore the chances right in front of us.  The Bitcoin Story That Cost $1.2 Billion (08:00) The now-famous moment when Jim was told to buy Bitcoin at ten cents—and why he didn’t.  Fear, Uncertainty, and Procrastination (15:00) Why waiting for the “right time” is the surest way to lose opportunity forever.  How the Past Sabotages the Present (22:00) Your fears and limitations come from the past—and they keep you from acting now.  The Only Time You Have Is Now (25:30) Why opportunities only exist in the present moment, never in the past or future.  Action as Salvation (36:00) Jim’s biggest transformational takeaway: growth only happens when you take action, no matter the outcome.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Action is your salvation. Every moment presents an opportunity, but waiting, fearing, or second-guessing only guarantees loss. When you choose to act—even if the outcome is uncertain—you grow, evolve, and move forward. Don’t wait for tomorrow; it never comes. The time to act is always now.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
