- riverside edit lisa lisa dwoskin's stud (3): Hello everybody, welcome back to Life Rescue with Lisa. This week I'm feeling much better, much more grounded, balanced, centered than I was last week. Thank you all for listening to my podcast about stress and how it can cause physical symptoms in your body. And this week I am feeling relaxed, much better. So let's all breathe in beautiful positive energy. Exhale out any negative energy. Breathe in peace, love, and light. Exhale anything that is no longer serving your highest good. Put your arms wherever you want them. Last breath. Peace, love, and light. Exhale any fear, stress, or worry. Yes. I am so happy to be here with all of you today. Let me just take a quick Excuse me. Sip of water. VOL 528. Don't forget about it. Vibration of love water. So I'm back. I painted my nails. Nice and blue. I'm all in blue today. Even though I'm not feeling blue. I love blue. Blue is like a spiritual uplifting color with my purple amethyst. I'm all set to start this beautiful podcast on Why some people never give up. This is a really good one. I love it. This is me. I never give up. I always make a joke with all my clients and friends that I'll always be at the gym lifting weights, muscles, yay. Always will be working out, lifting weights. Even if I had one leg dragging on the ground, you know, like those zombies, the mummies in the movies like the thriller video, which by the way, happy Halloween. It's coming up, right? Or no, just past. Just past Halloween. my god, I'm losing my mind. Okay. Happy belated Halloween. So anyway, okay, let me not get sidetracked here. So I would always show up at the gym, no matter what. Even if I'm on a in a full body cast from head to toe. I'd figure out how to exercise and move my body. Do something. I never give up. Why some people never give up. Don't forget, call me 754-222-4413. Call me if you have anything to share with me. If you want to be on my podcast. Remember to like, share, comment on my videos. Please breathe in. Positive energy, raise your energetic vibe. Yes, yes, yes. Exhale negative. Okay, I'm in a great mood today. I'm ready to tackle this podcast because this really is close to my heart, even though every podcast I do is. This is me. I never give up no matter what. It's could be a good thing, could be a not so good thing. The power of resilience. Faith, keep moving forward. That is what this podcast is about. The difference between giving up and keep going. Why do some people quit while others keep fighting the fight? What separates those who give up from those who refuse to stop? The mindset of someone who keeps moving forward. Even when life keeps knocking you down, get up, knock down, get up, knock down. Let's go to this side. Get up, get knocked down. Get up. Okay, you got it? So that was to raise your energetic vibe. See, I change the vibe. No matter how many times I get knocked down, I will never give up with anything in my life. Some people don't understand that about me, and they're like. My god, Lisa, go in a different direction. Throw in the towel. Enough is enough. Let go. No, I don't give up because I keep going. I don't take failures as failures that I failed. I take failures as life lessons to learn from and keep moving forward. Okay. The mindset of someone who keeps moving forward when life gets hard is the mindset that I'm going to be talking about today. This one's a good one. When dreams don't come true, disappointment, rejection, failure, and unexpected detours are caused by that. When you do everything you can and things still don't work out learning to accept what didn't happen without giving up on what could so for example my life rescue tv show that is still in the process of woo launching launching straight to the top okay I just saw something here but I don't know what's going on I'm getting a message from this software, but I'm gonna ignore it. Okay, so Learning to accept when things don't happen without giving up. Okay. I shot Life Rescue with the production team. It didn't work out with them. I parted ways. Almost a year and a half, almost two years, a year and a half went by and nothing happened with Life Rescue. But guess what? I wasn't going to give up. It wasn't happening the way I thought it would happen, but I wasn't going to give up. I was not going to give up on what could be with something else because it's my dream. Now, if it was costing me money and I wasn't working and it was putting me into depression or something like that, then of course maybe I would have given up. But I have my job. I'm a personal trainer. I'm a life coach. I have many high plot profile clients. Middle profile, low profile, no, but meaning I make good money doing what I do. So I'm able to still work on my dreams without dumping money into it, knowing that they will come true as long as I don't give up. The power of resilience, getting back up after being knocked down. And it's funny because I did a little TV segment with Lawrence Taylor, LT. the New York Giant Hall of Famer that some people have opinions on negative. I know him personally. He was a client at my gym. We become friends. He's a beautiful soul. That's all I want to say. I don't judge him. I don't get involved with his personal business. I think he's an amazing dude, football player. He changed the game. We had a TV show called Change Your Game and he was just an amazing guy and he would always say he always got up no matter how many times he was knocked down and that line was in one of the shows that we did because I'm the same way. People some people are mean to go through walls like a bulldozer. And I'm here to teach you all how to do that. Turning setbacks into lessons and opportunity for growth. And that's what I meant about failures. I take I've failed so many times at so many things. I've gotten the door slammed on my face so many times. No, no, no, no. But guess what? I keep moving forward. I read a book. Twenty ten years ago, maybe twenty years ago. And I am not gonna say who the book was from because I don't wanna get into political stuff. I am not talking politics and I'm not praising a man. I'm just reiterating a quote from a book that I read. The book said, No matter how many times I got knocked down and got told no. with business deals, it kept fueling my fire to keep on going and going and going till I got that one yes. And I love that because I read so many books on Napoleon Hill from Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich and so many books with Dale Carnegie. I took all the courses. I'm I'm a businesswoman at heart. I worked for my father. I ran my own huge company. a gym and a spa and a health club making a lot of money, losing a lot of money. Anyway, the point is no matter how many times you get told no, let it fuel your fire to get that yes that's meant to be for you. Understanding failure does not define you. No, no, no. Failure teaches you. Remember that. Failure is growth. Becoming stronger through adversity. So my father taught me a great lesson in my life. Nothing comes easy. And some people might not agree with that. I agree because nothing has come easy in my life. Nothing. Everything has taken hard work, consistency, dedication, drive, ambition, and never give up attitude. And I really don't think J-Lo, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Eminem, any actresses, Barbara Streisand, the singer, I love her. Any of them, I don't think anything came so easy. Oprah Winfrey, I love her, Tyler Perry. All of them have been through so many hardships to get to where they got to and what they became. It it takes adversity, it takes drive, strive. Consistency and the never give up attitude. People who keep driving have characteristics that I want to discuss. Determination, what I just said, discipline, consistency, and commitment. Continuing to believe when nobody else believes in you. this is huge. The family is the first person to say, well, good luck with a pat here. Good luck. Okay, you know how much competition is out there? Keep dreaming, keep dreaming, Lisa, keep dreaming. There are some family members that really believe in you also, but friends, family members, peers, whatever. When they don't believe in you, don't let that affect you. Believe in yourself. That's all you need. Believe in yourself. Pushing forward when motivation disappears. Okay. I am a highly, highly motivational self-motivator for myself because that's what I do for a living. I motivate people. I inspire people through my real job of personal training, life coaching, this podcast, my TV show. That's what I'm good at. I'm good at motivating myself. A lot of people aren't. That's why we're so successful as personal trainers and life coaches. Because people don't self-motivate. Watch a coach, watch a YouTube video. Turn this on and let me motivate you if you can't motivate yourself. It's so important. You need motivation, whether it's through a coach, through a video, through a YouTube something, whatever it is, if you can't motivate yourself, get motivation from somewhere else. But the difference between being persistent and knowing when to change directions that is huge. My father is a very successful businessman, and he used to always teach me as a little girl. I've been working, I worked for him from seven to twenty. Know when to hold and know when to fold. I think Kenny Rogers sang a song about that. Know when to fold and know when to hold and know when to fold. That's so true. I did not do that when I ran my gym into the ground, my gym and spa. I was grossing, gosh, over a million a year. My expenses were ginormous. And I was thirty years old, I think, thirty to about forty-two. I ran my business. When the economy took a plunge in two thousand and nine and my spa dropped from seven hundred and fifty thousand gross to like two hundred thousand, I should have made changes, but excuse me, my never give up attitude didn't allow me to make those changes and I started losing a lot of money. Luckily it ended on a positive note after I almost had a nervous breakdown, but thank God I got out of there and didn't lose a ton of money. Well I did whatever. The point is I should have known when to fold but I didn't. So change directions when you're starting to sink down deep into that hole. Okay. Next one, this one's beautiful. Hope, faith, and believing in yourself. Holding on when you can't see the outcome. Okay, let me tell you something about me. I have so much faith in God, in my spirit angels, in my higher power, in my angels all around me, Archangel Michael, Raphael, Gabriel. I have angels right now flying all around me. You see them? I have angels in me. I have God in me, around me, I'm my higher power. I have all the people who have passed on, spiritual help, everything. Okay, I'm a little cuckoo, I know, but that's okay. Holding on when you can't see the outcome, holding on to whatever faith you believe in. Keep praying, keep meditating, keep believing there's something higher power than just us. And believe in that and have faith that the outcome will be positive. Trusting the journey, even when it doesn't make sense. Trusting the journey. Stay your course. My mom, who is also my best friend, I'm so blessed with two parents who have helped guide me so much, and I love both of them dearly. My mom always said to me, stay the course, Lisa. Stay the course. That's what you have to do. Trust in the journey. Trust in yourself. Believing that one door closes does not be mean the end. It doesn't, it's not the end of everything. One door closes, guess what? The next beautiful door opens. The door that's meant for you. So don't give up. Staying open to unexpected opportunities and new beginnings. Okay, that's hard for me, I gotta admit. When I'm fixated on something like the Lawrence Taylor show that we had, and we're going to Tyler Perry Studios, and right here next to me, I have this whole visionary board. I didn't want to give up on that dream, but at one point I had to. But guess what happened? I have a new dream, Life Rescue. Where it's going. I love it. I believe in it. I have faith, and it's still not easy, but I keep going. How to keep move moving forward? How do I keep doing it? How are you going to keep doing it? Reconnect with your purpose. Know your why. I have to grab my bottle of VOL528 Vibration of Love. What's your why? What's your why? That is so important. And let me take a sip. Hydrate. What's your why? A lot of people don't know their purpose in life. And when they don't, it's hard. And I was talking to Brian earlier today about that, that he's figuring out his purpose because he was in a trade and then he started the water company. So it's like very different for him. He knows his purpose, but he's kind of like, you know, a little bit up and down and all around right now, like we all are. And he was saying his purpose is about giving back, giving to society, giving to people. It doesn't have to mean just charity work. Doing something to help others is what he was saying is his purpose. And that's what a lot of us have a purpose for giving to others. It makes us feel purposeful to give back to others. So just Connect with your purpose and your why. Focusing on what you can control. That's important. Learn from failure instead of living in it. That is huge. Don't take your failure as I have to live here forever. Learn from it and let it go and know that it's teaching you something very important. Adjust your approach without abandoning your dreams. That's so important too. So Brian's water business has been taking a lot longer than he thought. So instead of him saying, I wash my hands, I throw my hands up in the air, I'm done. No, he's gonna work his career and his trade and do his water and not give up on his dreams, but know that it's gonna take time to make enough income. To be able to just do the water. So never give up on your dreams. Take the next step, even when it's a small one. I use that analogy in the stress when stress is weighing you down. One step at a time, one small change. Even with exercise, one small change of exercising for five minutes a day, 10 minutes a day will put you towards your path of Starting to exercise 30 minutes a day, an hour a day. One little change put propels you in the direction you need to go. Celebrating progress, not just the final destination. Celebrate the progress that you make along the way. Never stop becoming. We are all becoming of something. We're all on a journey. This is not the end today. We all pray for tomorrow that we wake up and we're breathing and we're above ground. So that's a good day. So we're always becoming, we're always growing, we're always learning. We always should better ourselves every single day, right? Your journey isn't over because something didn't work out. That doesn't mean your journey's over. Sometimes the detour leads you s to somewhere better. You know, when you're lost in the car and it says detour and you detour and then you find something better. When I got my dog Bella, who was the love of my life, she passed away at 14 years old this February of this year. She was my soulmate. I just adored my little baby Bella. I'm gonna cry. No, I'm not. But anyway, who knows? With my crazy emotions, I might just start crying. Anyway, when I went looking for her, 14 I got her at almost a year, so 13 years prior, my son and I were going to the pound, the Broward County Humane Society, the pound where the dogs were, and we couldn't find it. And we went on the side road by the airport and we ended up at this animal shelter that I had no idea what was there. And that's where I found Bella. She had just been picked up off the street, this little eight-month-old black lab, beautiful puppy. So you never know where the detours lead you. So stay open, stay faithful, stay mindful, don't give up. You can be disappointed. Yes. wow, I've been disappointed a lot in my life. I still am getting disappointed in my life of things. But don't give up hope. Disappointment doesn't equal total despair. It's just a disappointment. Okay, live in it, grieve it, release it, and move on. Don't give up hope. Keep growing. Keep believing. Keep showing up. For yourself. That is super super powerful. Show up for yourself. Remember, resilience isn't about never falling or never failing. It's about finding the strength to rise up. Rise up. Isn't that a song? Yeah. Remember to rise up. And if you don't feel good, And you're down right now, jump up and down, spin all around, raise your arms like this, be crazy. And scientifically proven, it's going to re it's going to raise your energetic vibe and your nervous system. Okay. My last and final thought. Breathe in. Beautiful positive energy. Exhale. Any negative energy. That's not my final thought. My final thought. Excuse me. One door may close, a dream may change, the road may become harder than you ever imagined. But your story is not defined by how many times you fall. It is defined by what you do next and how many times you get. Back up. Remember that. Keep driving, keep striving, keep believing, keep growing, keep moving forward. Your next chapter may be waiting behind the door that you have not opened yet. Isn't that exciting? So, my last and final thought before I say goodbye. I always say to everybody on Monday morning, happy Monday! And so many people are like, I hate Mondays. What are you talking about? It's not Friday, it's not the weekend. Well, guess what? And I promise to all of you, this is the honest to God truth. Monday is my favorite day of the week. Favorite. I can't wait for Monday morning. I get my coffee, I eat my breakfast, I'm like, yes, it's Monday. You know why? Because every Monday morning I feel is a new day, a new week, a new chapter in my life for something great to happen, something beautiful, something powerful. Every single week, no matter what I'm going through, I could be having the worst weekend of my life. I could be Total sadness, crying, emotional, hormonal, not getting a deal, not getting the job, my kids are upset, my partner and I are fighting. Whatever it is, I wake up Monday morning and I breathe in. Exhale, and I say to myself, Lisa, it's Monday. It's a new day. Something amazing is going to happen this week. This week is the week that is going to happen. And guess what? If it doesn't happen, whatever it is, then there's a next Monday. And I do the same thing. And I'll never stop doing it. Don't stop believing in yourself. Don't give up hope. Keep the faith. Keep believing. Keep showing up for yourself. Keep loving yourself. That's the most important.
