Behind-the-scenes moments, quotes, and updates from Jim.
Fear often begins when we attach our peace to something we can’t control. The outcome. The opinion. The timing. The approval. The future. But the more we cling to the outer world around us, the more unstable our inner world becomes. Freedom begins when we surrender the outcome and return to what we can control: our thoughts, our focus, our response, and the condition of our heart. Today, ask yourself: What am I attached to that is stealing my peace? Then release it. This will lead to inner peace and strength. ⁃Jim
Use this Samurai method to calm nerves before your next big moment. The first step is to breathe in: “I expect…” Then breathe out: “…nothing.” Release the outcome. Return to the moment. Trust that you can handle what comes next. Share this with someone facing a big moment.
Today, how will you make a difference in the lives of the people around you? Let me know.👇
One of the biggest obstacles people face in doing extraordinary things is their own ego. They let their ego control their emotions and desires leading to comparison, frustration, and fear. The most powerful person, however, is someone who is “self-forgetful.” Instead of being self-centered, they become purpose-centered. This focus shift is the key to having the inner peace and strength needed for doing extraordinary things. This is the way of Inner Excellence. - Jim
What a gift to learn, grow and connect with beauty and with great friends.
I’ll never forget April 1st, 2010. I had the weight of the world on my shoulders and no idea how to carry it. Then I felt God say, “There is nothing you’ve ever done or could ever do that would change how much I love you.” And the anxiety fell off. Not because my circumstances changed, but because my heart did. Surrender isn’t weakness. It’s freedom from trying to control what was never yours to carry. Today, ask yourself: “What am I holding onto that I need to surrender?” - Jim
