One of our Guided Mindset Mastery students sent me a message and asked me to keep it private. But then, she gave me permission to share it after all. She had been battling some pretty heavy life challenges, and I know that, even though many of the challenges are behind her now, she is not the o...

As you may know, learning to implement the principles can be a challenge. I mean... How can you know if you're doing it right? What if you're just a tiny bit off, and don't know it? What if you're making it harder than it needs to be? For me, the goal achievement trial/error process took ...

By Jimi Teague There’s a story Steve Harvey tells that carries a powerful lesson—one that applies to so many areas of life. He talks about having an old car up on blocks sitting in his driveway. He had a great attitude about getting a new one. He worked hard, saved up, and truly believed it woul...

By Jimi Teague I sat on the kitchen floor, tears soaking the soft, white collar of my pink flannel robe. It was all too much to bear.

As the day went on, the pain got worse—heaviness in the arm, chest discomfort, dizziness, and weakness. Hoping it was just a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle, I went to my chiropractor. He took ...

He’d been studying plants, and since we live in Missouri, I thought it’d be a fun little experiment—our own...

By Jimi Teague Have you ever met someone who seems genuinely lucky? Good things just happen to them all the time. They’re unusually chirpy, often smiling, sometimes even have a little bounce in their step. Do you ever wonder how life just seems to work out for them so effortlessly? Well, accord...

By Jimi Teague Several months ago, my grandma broke her ankle and needed a wheelchair. We searched everywhere—online, in stores—but couldn’t find one that fit our budget. Eventually, I let it go. I made peace with the idea of paying to rent one instead, figuring that as long as she had what she ...

By Jimi Teague What does the word “peace” mean to you? Maybe it brings to mind beaches with waves crashing softly on the shore. Or the quiet flicker of a campfire beneath a vast, starry sky. Maybe it's a cozy chair, a good book, and a warm cup of cocoa. Those are all peaceful places—but what abo...
