#38 How To Find Your Way On An Island
Quick concept today. Before Dory ever said “just keep swimming” on Finding Nemo, I had learned the simple concept of how to navigate on an island. “Keep Going, Keep Going.” Its kinda silly, but it sure helps keep you in motion and tends to work to get your bearings when you feel lost in anything. …

#32 A fresh quote on releasing un-needed burdens
My number one lesson learned in the last year on gaining clarity and unblocking the things you did not know were holding you back. Its a brand new “Riggleism” from yours truly. “Learn to let go from the get go”. When you hold on to the wrong things, resent, personalize, or defend as a default, …

I think they contain the key or the map leading to everything and anything we could possibly want or need. But we let our fear, egos, indifference, ignorance, and impatience get in the way. This episode is chock full of …
