Thank you for Watching the Passion Struck podcast. In this powerful interview, John R. Miles and his guest Dara Kurtz discuss creating a crazy perfect life. Creating a Crazy Perfect Life John R. Miles and Dara Kurtz discuss the tremendous change in her life brought on by a breast cancer diagnosis. Dara makes it clear that getting a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. She believes that it is your attitude that will dictate so much of how you navigate through it. She views time as our most precious resource and discusses how she has altered her time management and the incredible results it brought in helping her create a crazy perfect life. We discuss how her definition of living a successful life was altered and how she started focusing on spending her days doing activities that feed her soul. Why it's vital to stay the course and not tip over the apple cart. But many people fail to do that and don't change. Why the way you choose to wake up and be positive about your outlook is up to you to create. How the Failure to make choices is a choice. You're living this life and your image and all of the things that go along with that. And it's not easy to wake up one day and say, you know, hey, this isn't actually what I want to be doing. And not everyone's going to like that. And not everyone's going to like the new version of you. Or maybe you make a change. It will trigger things for other people that they don't want to think about for themselves. So it's safer to stay the course. It really just all came down to redefining success for myself. New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message! Enjoy! Show Notes
