Episode Summary

Time is a blessing. Its given to us the moment we are born. But it a dwindling balance that can’t be replenished with any deposits other than living a life that maximizes longevity through health. We are in control of spending this limited balance. We decide where, with whom and how we spend our time. And when we talk to old people  and hear their regrets about time then we know – We are not good at spending it effectively. 

In this episode –  I want to give you a few ideas on becoming more effective with your time. 

When I say effective – I mean 2 things

1 – you are conscious of how you use your time, and 2 – you are using your time in accordance with your values

Ultimately how you spend your time is personal. But I would guess that many of the hours in your days are flying by without you realizing that they are gone. My ideas on saving time will help you notice where you might be squandering it unnecessarily. Maybe you don’t notice it. Maybe you think you are maximizing your time. Which brings me to the second part- spending time where it matters most. Ideally we spend it on the people and activities that matter to us. But do we know what they are?. And are we conscious of them as time passes?

When you begin to reflect on your use of time, you will become more aware where its going and whether or not this meets your standards.

Zooming In – Quest For You 600

Celebrating 600 episodes coincides with the end of an epic year and I want to take to opportunity to invite you to reflect together with me. I want to help you see that this year may have not been the most productive, as you have witnesses with the irregularity of my last 100 episodes, but that doesn’t mean it was a waste. Lets zoom in on it and find meaning.

The moments bigger than us – Quest For You 598

The moments bigger than us – Quest For You 598

The moments that are bigger than us tend to lead us into many directions – hiding, frantically searching for answers, or we feel overwhelmed. I have found that such moments, of which we have many this year, are meant to lead us back to ourselves. They require reflection and contemplation as it is often in that quiet time with ourselves that we get to the insights we need to move forward. 

We need civility – Quest For You 597

We need civility – Quest For You 597

Its election week and I am less concerned about who wins, and more about what our reaction as a country will be to the incoming president. The word civility has been on my mind lately and this week is a good time to remind ourselves that we cannot afford to forget about it. Being polite may not always be easy, but its the more effective and productive way to deal with issues we don’t agree with and to treat people that are different from us. 

My silence – Quest For You 596

My silence – Quest For You 596

I have been silent for a few weeks with this podcast and this episode is an attempt to explain my reasons. And while there are many potential explanations – the bottom line is this – I haven’t gotten it done. And while I am tempted to blame 2020 with all its newness and not-normalness, I have also have to be honest with myself. I had ideas, but they haven’t turned into action. This episode may resonate with many of you as I am certain we all in stuck in some areas of our life. And to get unstuck, we just need to take one small step. This episode is my first step. 

Getting up earlier has been one of my most significant changes that I have made. It has not only brought me more time in my day, but it sets a different tone for my days. Instead of …

We like things that are easy. We try to avoid as much pain as we can. We want to pull through and get it over with.  However, some of our biggest accomplishments in life have come from doing hard things.

I learned to smile more when I came to this country. And while I initially had to force myself to smile, I now notice all the amazing positive side effects that smiling brings.

Start every day with intention and direction

Does it seem challenging to find an inner connection with ourselves? Our world can be noisy, overwhelming and distracting.

Yet, the direction for our life comes from within us.

The Quest For You Podcast is my mission to help you discover who you are. I will help you challenge yourself through daily guidance, motivation and inspiration. I want to help you find your direction.
