SF #255 – What I Like About Me!

May 31, 2016 by Success Freaks

Instead of an “attitude of gratitude,” how about truly enjoying yourself and the moment? Mordant & McFall dive into the ability to love who you are and the life you have by gaining perspective and, really, the desire to be happy.

Today we invite you to open up your mind. Look at everything in your life from a new, brighter perspective. Everyone is always thinking about what they want, which is great. But, take a moment to think about what you already have. Once you have done this you will be able to continue attracting what you really like and look for the magic in the everyday things that you may have come accustom to. So put on your safari hat and join us on an expedition to hunt down the joy that is already in each of our lives. [Read more…]

SF #236 – Learning Curves Ahead

February 16, 2016 by Success Freaks

Mordant & McFall discuss how members of our inner circle are the ones who take the brunt of our learning curves. They see what seems like hypocrisy, get the religious anger of our failings as we learn, and hopefully stay strong to the other side. Learning is the most dangerous game of all – even for those watching from the sidelines.

Mordant adopts a country twang while Charles asks if “you have seen a whole new world?” after listening to the prior two episodes. The gang reminds us how they are battling in the trenches with us. We all have to adapt to the learning curve of life and realize our inner circle is going to take the brunt of it while we struggle for air. To counter this, we all need to work on communicating and “adulting” effectively. You will get some relationship advice along the way as well as being reminded that time is precious. It’s time to cut yourself some slack and create space for riding out the learning curve. [Read more…]

SF #189 – I Love Me, I Love Me Not

February 22, 2015 by Success Freaks

In the season of love we find ourselves focused on what other people think – about us, our relationship status, our place in life, and many other things that don’t truly matter.

The Pros of Patience and Being Selfish

January 17, 2014 by R. Mordant Mahon

“Have patience with all things, but, first of all with yourself.”

~Saint Francis de Sales~

Sitting in an office chair in the backyard of my friend EJ’s house, and my thoughts turn trippingly towards Patience. Not your run-of-the-mill, garden-variety, patience-is-a-virtue Patience either. Nope.

Not for today.

Not for you.

For you I save the good stuff. The stuff that runs a little deeper. More personal.

I want to discuss having patience with yourself and your process. Cutting yourself some slack as you begin or continue on your path towards self-actualization. It’s easy to pinpoint what needs doing when you think about patience with everyone outside your personal bubble. There are steps you can take to ease the pain of their annoying stimuli, no matter how much they are exasperating you at present. If all else fails—the smiling, the prayer, the counting to 10—you can always up and walk away. Any of these techniques are done simply enough and your world is set back in balance—if you put forth the effort it takes to keep everything flowing “merrily, merrily down the stream.”

Success Freaks #107 – Forgive Yourself And The Rest Will Follow

July 26, 2013 by Success Freaks

What does it mean to forgive? According to Merriam-Webster it means to give up resentment for and to grant relief from payment of a noun (person, place, or thing) that is pissing you off (this is the paraphrased version of course). These are all things that we need to do in order to level up our lives. We all have moments when we think holding a grudge will make us feel better. In fact, it is usually a major thing holding us back. Whether it’s McFall being angry with his internet provider or Mordant holding on to the person he once was, we all have at least one thing in our lives we need to forgive and let go.

The title of Success Freaks show #107 is “Forgive Yourself and the Rest will Follow.” Join our forgiving hosts as they relive those moments in which they realized that the best thing to do was to turn around and walk away. Say “I Can” by letting go of what holds you back and hear what it took for Mordant & McFall forgive, to let it go, and move on.
