Your Money Or Your Life?

Written By Patrick Mathieu — Category: Life Is Too Short, Podcast, Fearless Living, Focused Living, Mindful Moment @ 1:01 pm

I recently wrote a guest article about the current economic turmoil for the motivation and self improvement website Pick The Brain.  You can read the article, which I titled “Your Money Or Your Life?“. Since I received such a strong reaction to the piece, I thought I would record an audio version.

If you find that my message offers a useful point of view, please take a moment to share it with anyone who might also benefit from hearing / reading it.

Also, please share your thoughts in the comments section!

(By the way… if you have only listened to the audio version and are wondering what is so special about April 15, 1994. Wonder no longer!)

Be The Tipping Point!

Written By Patrick Mathieu — Category: Regret-Free Living, Focused Living @ 1:40 pm

On Twitter and Facebook I recently posted the following thought:

“Don’t underestimate the impact you have on others. Those close to you & those you will never meet. You’re more powerful than you realize!”

My friend from The Bahamas, Sherry Cooper Barmania, made the following comment on that thought:

“I often think of this when I see a child being yelled at, tugged or berated in public by a parent or caregiver… don’t they realize what the impact is on that child?
That is when I over-nice the next person I see - to add some balance to the world.”

My response to her:

“Sherry - here’s a thought… next time, be “over-nice” to TWO people! Let’s try to tip the balance to the positive side for a change! Are you up for it?”

Well, Sherry has accepted the challenge!  What about you?  Will you join us in shifting the balance? Are YOU up for it?

If you are, then let’s hear from you in the comments section!
