What’s your best advice for having a happy marriage? A couple of years ago I was flying on @southwestair (remember when we could fly) and their was a couple on their way to their honeymoon. We were asked to share some tips on a happy marriage. This is what I shared. . Be intentional with showing your love. I’d love to hear your tips. Especially at times when you are least interested in showing your love to your love. . Oh..and if she puts the toilet paper role on wrong, (#overnotunder) just change it. It takes less than 3 seconds to fix. Best investment in time I’ve ever made. . Hit the like button if you agree. Share your tips below. #relationshipquotes #marriage #marriedlife #superdave #love #livewithintention #lovewins #marriageadvice #redheadandbaldy #mindset #coaching #lifecoach #FistBump #southwestairlines (at Frisco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAc2QJuALYI/?igshid=dili3sjs0pav

Learning to see your trials as lessons gives you power over your circumstances. It’s called perspective and with the right perspective you can survive any trial. Please tag a friend who needs this. . Reading @DavidGoggins Can’t Hurt me I realized I’ve not really ever faced challenges. Not real ones anyway. Only ones I’ve created in my mind. . Do you ever create mountains out of molehills? Thinking that a single mistake or lapse in judgement will ruin your whole career? Do this instead. Respond by reframing the message that you tell yourself. Refuse to allow a pessimistic inner monologue to take hold. . When ever something happens ask yourself: . * Does this issue really matter? * Is it important enough to address and will it even matter tomorrow, next week or next month? * How will my reaction to this issue impact the people involved? . It takes practice but you can build the mental power needed to stop a single bad moment from ruining the whole day. Learn to laugh when something unexpected happens. Instead of trying to figure out why it happened to you simply state, “That was interesting.” . Practice keeping your focus on what is going right, no matter how small. Focus on what you have to be grateful for every day. Don't let a bad five minutes turn into a bad 8 hours, a week, or a lifetime. . Need someone to help you love from where you are to where you want to be?

Focus on the Beauty. Everything else is just noise. This morning I was able to capture these beautiful images of flowers in my backyard after a night of storms. . Too often in life, we miss the beauty all around us because of the noise. I am finding that even amid a global pandemic, there is still noise. Just scroll through your social media feeds and see all the screaming. News channels are blaring negative messages hoping to grab a few moments of your time. . You have the power to control your awareness. If you want to find joy in your life, you must wield this power with intention and accuracy. For where your attention goes, there goes your energy. . Today choose to focus on the beauty around you. Do me a favor and tag someone who needs to see this message today and share this message with others. . #LoveWins #awareness #mindset #coaching #lifecoach #flowers #superdave #differencemaker #picbyme #natureart #igdaily #igers #igtexas #instaphotography #gereras #loveflowerssomuch #flowershow #flowerstalking #flower_daily #wisdom #flowers_shotz #ig_flowers #flower_perfection (at Frisco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_71WjBgo9G/?igshid=10c0jtaagiuk1

We are all blessed with gifts or talents. The only way we benefit from them is if we share them with the world. . It has been said that the wealthiest place on earth is the cemetary. It’s filled with people who never shared their talents, ideas, songs or stories with the world. They took them to the grave never fully realizing their potential. . During this great pause take time to discover your gifts and begin asking the question, “How can I share them with the world?” It’s in moments of great desperation that talents are discovered and placed into the service of others. . It’s in this service that we experience the most joy. I pray you read this and are inspired to share your gifts with those around you. . #Mindset #coaching #lifecoach #differencemaker #liveonpurpose #superdave #inspiration #inspirationalquotes (at Frisco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_coa2Ng1zD/?igshid=221ovfrncw7m

“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11 NIV The gift of Christmas frustrations - Tonight I was thinking about how frustrating the holidays can be. From slow checkout lines to abandon shopping carts. From missing tea glasses to discussions about politics. The stress of the season can seem overwhelming at times. As I considered how I was feeling I began to wonder if these frustrations are really little gifts meant to remind me of the cost of the Christmas gift. That while we freely receive God’s grace through Jesus it wasn’t free. There was a payment made. While we celebrate the birth of Christ let us not forget the price he paid for our sins. #merrychristmas #jesuschrist #grace #silentnight #holynight #mindset #coaching #lifecoach #mindset #coaching #lifecoach (at Lubbock, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ehovVgTUX/?igshid=1i3p7m1l9fnsb

Who doesn’t love @mrpeanutofficial and the #nutmobile? Stopped to say high to the team and picked up a few #nuts while shopping at #martketstreet. #sundayfunday in #FriscoTX. If the holiday season has you feeling a little nutty grab a #healthy snack and take a stroll outside. It’s a beautiful, so get out and enjoy the day. #Mindset #coaching #lifecoach #professionalspeaker #SuperDave (at Market Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6GlUC0A-ls/?igshid=fd32gbmx2zkw

The key to a happy life is accepting “The Struggle is Real” and choosing every day to embrace it, face it and overcome it. . Stop running from your struggles. Stop looking for safe harbors and start conditional yourself to fight. . Invest in yourself. Build the skills needed to slay the dragons you’re facing. As the Navy Seals say, “The only easy day was yesterday.” . Tag someone who needs to see this today. And, if you need a coach to help you prepare your mind for the fight I’m hear you help. Let’s work together and go from surviving to thriving. #Mindset #coaching #lifecoach #inspiration #mindset #motivation @brucelee (at Frisco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kIeXkATh7/?igshid=1lyq31xxaclpo

Happy National Love Your Red Hair Day @kimbraquinn. I didn’t need a study to tell me how just how rare you are, but incase you didn’t know: . Having red hair and blue eyes is the rarest hair/eye color combination possible. The odds of a person having both of those recessive traits is around 0.17%. #love #honor #cherish #redheadandbaldy #nationalloveyourredhairday #redhair #ginger (at Allen, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4fpqU2AE0L/?igshid=1pkbzvdmo47gr

Have you ever found your self asking, “Who am I?” Do you feel like your life isn’t turning out the way you imagined? . Don’t worry, almost everyone experiences this feeling of being stuck at different times in their lives. . So what happens if you realize you are stuck? How do you free yourself from the emotional bog and the heaviness of being stuck? . Here is an easy way to start. Take at least one simple action that aligns with your vision. Even if it’s not crystal clear yet. Then take a couple more actions that seem like a fit for you. . This is the beginning of the overall plan for moving forward. . You see when you are stuck, taking action is the most powerful thing you can do. Overthinking and procrastinating will keep you stuck. . Take an action, get feedback from the action you take and then take another action. . This process will create momentum and can help you identify additional actions that will help you begin to identify your vision for the future. . If you need someone to help you rock yourself out of the mud let’s chat. I can help you get moving again. Boom a time to visit with me in the using the link in the bio above.

As I sit here in @stelmosteakhouse I had this profound thought. It’s absolutely critical to success especially for an #EconDev professional. . Part of building #resiliency in our life is developing the habit of framing any project we take on in a way that clearly defines the desired outcome. . There will be things that come up that catch you by surprise, but if you know that where you are headed is worthwhile, then you can better mentally handle challenges as they present themselves.. How do you define success, for yourself or for your organization? . My good friend @drew_myers, author and host of @definingaudacity_radioshow defines his success like this: “Success is doing what I love, providing for my family while doing it, and being true to myself." . It’s not complicated when you think about it. What do you want? That's it. . Now Simply begin with the end in mind. Get extremely detailed on what the desired outcome is for you. Then create a plan and execute the plan. . You can do this. It may be tough. No, it will be tough and that’s okay because you will now have the mental fortitude to push through the dips and succeed. . If you’d like some helping talking through your desired outcomes I’d be honored to help. . Let’s connect (Info in bio) and make it happen. . #13steps #mindset #coaching #lifecoach #goals #leadership #econdev #iedcindy #iedcannual (at St. Elmo Steak House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3neG91ganf/?igshid=10srw7pw2jjro
