SF #214 – Find Magic in the Moment

August 25, 2015 by Success Freaks

A bird gets stuck in the snow in Winter and is freezing to death. A cow comes along and poops all over him, warming him up. Being saved from death he starts singing, which attracts a cat. The cat digs him out and eats him. So, “the magic” is… not all the poop you are in is bad and not everyone who digs you out is good. Mordant & McFall discuss being in the moment and finding the silver linings in moments allegedly gone wrong.

This week on Success Freaks, Charles & Mordant “Up Periscope.” We discuss the concept of “Being in the Moment.” How do you train yourself (or a dragon) to be excited about life. In the Level Up section, we “Change our perception and change our reality!” And, in On Beyond: How to fix the Grumpy-Gus that is you. All this and more… on this episode of Success Freaks!
