FlashCast By PDB, With Phil Di Bella

Authenticity - The Voice of the People

In this FlashCast by PDB we hone in on a question sent in by a listener - John. Can Phil break down Authenticity in just 10 minutes? Can you say that in 10 years' time that you are proud of who you are and the road you have travelled, whilst being the truest form of yourself? Being authentic does not always mean that you are right though, and often it is a hard pill to swallow, but if you are willing to learn from these then there is light at the end of the tunnel.With a little bit of intense training, your conscience will tell you if you are on the right path, your job is to listen to it guide you.Never be ashamed of who you are, because you are doing the best you can, with the resources you have at hand, at this particular time.As always remember life is a journey, it is not all about the destination. Enjoy the journey that you are walking.Do you want your question featured?Send us your comments and questions to our Facebook page Facebook.com/FlashCastByPDB or to ask@flashcastbypdb.com.Remember to subscribe, rate and review the show, and as always, thank you for listening! Produced by The Podcast Boss thepodcastboss.com

Actions speak louder than words.When you are out with your children, pause and take note of different things, and ask them to list a reason why they are grateful for that thing.Teach them that it doesn’t matter who the person is, but to show thanks and to say thanks at any given opportunity.Listen in to Phil as he talks us through different ideas and tactics we can embrace, to help our children breed gratitude.Send us your comments and questions to our Facebook page Facebook.com/FlashCastByPDB or to ask@flashcastbypdb.com.
