20 ENE. 2023 · We’ve all heard the saying “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” But what if I told you that improving our lives isn't about making the best of a bad situation? Instead, it's about learning to stomach lemons better and adjusting our expectations accordingly. In this episode of the Start Thinking Forward Podcast, we explore how human beings are flawed and emotional creatures who often set unrealistic goals for themselves. We discuss how striving for perfection can put us in an unhealthy state of mind and how instead, it is more productive to focus on embracing life’s imperfections by understanding that some things are simply beyond our control. We talk about the importance of resilience and focus on developing a positive outlook even when faced with difficult situations in order to find success and happiness in life. We'll be discussing topics such as why we sometimes struggle to stay positive when faced with failure or rejection; the importance of understanding our own emotions in order to set achievable goals; the consequences that come from setting unattainable objectives; and strategies for more effectively managing expectations. Don't miss today's episode, which promises an insightful discussion on why it's so important to practice self-reflection in order to reach realistic objectives!

2 NOV. 2022 · Henry the local repair man had a problem. He was always running short on parts, and he needed them to keep his business going. So, he started stealing parts from other businesses in town. It was risky, but it was the only way he could stay afloat. One day, Henry happened to be walking past a nonprofit that was just opening up its doors. The sign out front said they were giving away free parts to local businesses. But Henry didn't even stop to take a look. He was too busy thinking about ways to get his hands on more parts. It wasn't long before Henry's greed got the best of him. His business started failing, and he ended up getting arrested for stealing parts from other businesses. If only he had taken a moment to look at the sign next door, he would have known that there were resources available to him that could have saved his business. The question does Henry deserve his fate or is he simply reacting to a system to the point he was blinded even when the possibility of help was next door to him? The power of perception and a willingness to try new things that make you uncomfortable is one of the major ways of combating whatever financial disparities that these business face.
