In this special episode of YMH5, we meditate on those who have sacrificed for us. We recognize that willful sacrifices were rooted in love and that we need to humble ourselves and receive those gifts. #YMH5   Your Motivational High 5 by Phil Larson @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5 Art by: http://bit.ly/ymh5art

Getting caught up in our perfectionism can cause us to not act. Since it can't be perfect, why even try? If we take that route, we miss out on the lessons we could learn along the way. Besides, being perfect is overrated! #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Success is something that you get to define for yourself. There is no concrete definition. What we need to be careful of, however, is the cost of that success. Does achieving your definition of success come at the cost of other important goals? Appropriate balance is the key! #YMH5   @Phil_Larson phil@thestoryshop.tv PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Self-Examination is the art of questioning ourselves. This is modeled to us by the most important and wise philosophers, counselors, therapists, and leaders. When we better know ourselves, we can better love others. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Part 2 of 2! Dr. William Ranahan is our guest for both parts of Episode 15. Step 2 to rewire your brain is creating new connections. Inviting vulnerability spikes the brain with enough energy to create new neural connections and pathways. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Part 1 of 2! Dr. William Ranahan is our guest for both parts of Episode 15. Step 1 to rewire your brain is identifying the bad habits. Studies of Neuroplasticity have discovered gaps between neurons that remain our entire life. Electrical circuits in our brain that have reinforced pathways of unhealthy behavior can be broken. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Commitment is scary because it involves giving up control and fear of failure. No matter the outcome, we will experience self-growth by making brave commitments. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5 Audio from YouTube video: "Girl's First Ski Jump"

Trust that is healthily-built is slowly built on over time and deserves the weight it has gained through its history of being built, so it does not topple like a Jenga tower. In a sense, trust the trust. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

The perseverant person is focused on the long-term goal, suspending short-term pleasures. To remain motivated to persevere, continually ask yourself, "Who do I want to be?" Long-term goals are often worthy of the work and leaves a legacy to be remembered. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Coming up on YMH5, we have a scientist weighing in on what we are doing!

We sell ourselves short with excellence and settle for average. Truth is, with a little hard work over a long period of time, we can achieve excellence. It starts with you choosing to believe in yourself. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Brandon and Stephanie Matias add their voice to YMH5 about marriage. Healthy marriage involves open communication, where we choose to invite vulnerability by saying the hard thing. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 MMM on YT: youtube.com/user/ModernMarriageMoment MMM on FB: facebok.com/ModernMarriageMoments Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Self-doubt should be embraced as an indicator of aspiration. "The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death." -Steven Pressfield. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

Intimacy is not affection. Intimacy is more than knowing; it's understanding. Ultimately, we want to understand those who are the most important relationships in our lives. Intimate relationships require an investment of time. And it's worth it. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5

There are healthy and unhealthy forms of community. Ultimately, we choose which voices to let in our lives. Healthy voices tell us hard truths we need to hear. #YMH5 @Phil_Larson | phil@thestoryshop.tv | PhilLarson.net thestoryshop.tv/podcast | thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 Art by William Johnson: http://bit.ly/ymh5art Facebook.com/YourMotivationalHigh5
