The Value of Facebook

The Daily Wake Up Micro-PodcastEpisode 807 of the Final Season: The Value of Facebook #knowTroy #DWUpodcast #facebook
In 2020, I reduced my Facebook friends from the 1400 hundreds to the 200 hundreds. I was done with how fake people were on Facebook. I called it “fakebook.”
This year I wanted to do something special for my wife on Valentines Day. My finances have started to pick up and she has been through a lot over the past two years since being laid off due to COVID.
What could I give her? She is not really into jewelry, and I had given technology gifts for the past few years.
Then it hit me! A Shiba Inu puppy! Our Shiba passed away in 2018 and Lindsay had expressed her desire to have a Shiba companion again.
Meet Michiko.
 
 

Life is Too Short

The Daily Wake Up Micro-PodcastEpisode 806 of the Final Season: Life is Too Short #knowTroy #DWUpodcast #mentalhealth
I read this in a book yesterday that I just had to share.
“Life is too short to hate what you do all day.”   For fun I looked up “life is too short” on Dictionary dot com. It described the life is too short phrase this way:
Do not waste time on unimportant matters or unworthy emotions, such as anger or anxiety. For example, I could get my revenge by snubbing Tom, but life's too short, or don’t spend all day waiting for his call—life is too short. This phrase, possibly echoing the ancient Latin proverb, meaning Art is long-lasting, life is short
Life is too short is often used to dismiss an unimportant or unworthy concern.  

Let Me Be Real With You

The Daily Wake Up Micro-PodcastEpisode 805 of the Final Season: Let Me Be Real With You #knowTroy #DWUpodcast #realtalk
When was the last time you heard someone say, “let me be real with you” or “I’m going to be real right now,” and it was followed by a positive thought?
I have never had someone tell me something positive after saying the words, “let me be real with you.”

Are Cliques Really Bad?

The Daily Wake Up Micro-PodcastEpisode 804 of the Final Season: Are Cliques Really Bad? #knowTroy #DWUpodcast #tribes
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a clique as a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons especially one held together by common interests, views, or purposes.
Now Google dictionary takes it a different direction and defines a clique as a small group of people with shared interest or other features in common who spend time together and do not readily allow others to join them.

Do The Right Thing?

The Daily Wake Up Micro-PodcastEpisode 803 of the Final Season: Do the “Right” Thing?#knowTroy #DWUpodcast #perspective
I read in a book recently that an owner of a restaurant was the first restaurant to do away with plastic straws in his restaurant.  He bragged about his being first and now many others have followed their example. What he said is what jumped out at me: We did the right thing.  
According to the Google Dictionary, the definition of “right” is:  
Morally good, justified, or acceptable.
True or correct as a fact.
Does that mean the other restaurants with plastic straws are doing something, “wrong?”

Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

The Daily Wake Up Micro-PodcastEpisode 802 of the Final Season: Overcoming Limited Beliefs#knowTroy #DWUpodcast #breakthrough
Author Curly Martin points out the importance of self-talk in his book, The Life Coaching. He wrote:  Your self-image is created by you within a closed loop of your belief system:
How you behave
Your self-talk
Your picture of self-image
To break free from this repeating cycle, list out your limiting beliefs, ie: “I’m bad at remembering names.”
Change limiting belief to the opposite view: “I’m great at remembering names.”
