So many times in life you feel down. You feel like you aren't good enough. Maybe you are feeling this now. Flip that script. Think of all the good you have accomplished in your life up to this point. You have the power to make the changes to make your life better. But, you have to do the work. No one is coming to do the work for you or save you.
There are people who love and care about you. People who will walk by your side on your journey, but you must do the work. It has always been this way and always will be. Life is an inside game.
And you can do it.

You don't want to hear this, but you have to. You have to learn to accept where you are right now. It might suck. Most of the time it does, but it's essential for your growth if you accept it. Once you accept you can move forward. If you don't you will stay in the cycle of anger, frustration, depression and all of the other stuff you are dealing with.
Acceptance is the first step towards a better life.
Go out and conquer your day.

I am a big believer in our vibrational energy.
"If you want to know the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration" - Nikola Tesla
When you start vibrating at a higher level you are going to start getting what you want. Don't believe me? Check out the emerging research and science behind this.
We are all energy, and we all vibrate and give off a frequency - good or bad.
Want to change you life? Start vibrating at a higher level.
Go out and conquer your day and week.
Until next time,
Patrick

Stop telling yourself you are going to do something and don't. Just do it! The longer you procrastinate the likelihood you won't do it.
Mel Robbins, big time influencer has a book called 5, 4, 3, 2,1. Count from down to 1 then do it. The psychology behind this is that the longer you have the brain will talk you out of what you should do.
Try this the next time you don't want to get out of bed. It works.
In the end, you don't want to have more " I tried" more than "you did."
Go out and conquer your day. It's a new month, December. Let's make this month a good one.

Happy Monday and Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to all the brave men and women who have served this great country.
When you adopt a Zero F*ck's Attitude something great happens. You don't let people get under your skin. You don't care what people say about you because you aren't giving away your power to them. You're taking your power back.
This attitude is not about rude, non-caring or indifferent. It's about not giving people your energy who don't deserve you.
When you become stronger and more resilient you start pulling away from people who are toxic and are trying to bring you down.
Start given a F*ck about what really matters. What's best for you and your overall health and happiness.

My next guest has been in law enforcement for a very long time, and his area of expertise in crimes against children. These are horrific crimes that are very difficult to investigate for everyone involved. God Bless the men and women who investigate this crimes. Mike Weber, is a graduate of the University of North Texas (BS, 1990), who has an impressive 40-year law enforcement career. This includes over 16 years investigating Crimes Against Children. His impressive amount of years, along with his dedication to combating crimes against children have established him as a national authority in the investigation of Medical Child Abuse, commonly known as Munchausen by Proxy. Mike and I also talk about how these crimes can mentally effect the investigator, and we also touch on agency betrayal.

I am going to guess that most of you, like me, like being in control of everything. Most first responders have this trait. In fact, I would say most people in the world want to be in control all the time.
The reality is that most of the times we are NOT. You can't control other people or most situations, but you CAN control You and how You react. When you stop giving your power and energy to the things and people you can't control you will start to regain your personal power so you can use it the way you need to that benefits YOU.
Go out and conquer your day and week.

If you want to know the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration - Nikola Tesla
We are all energy. We put out a frequency and we all vibrate. That is what energy does. We have so much power to change our lives, but we stay stuck in misery. What if you changed how you thought about things?
Scientists say we have about 70k-80k thoughts a DAY! Wow....That's a lot of thoughts, and here is the kicker. Most of the thoughts we are thinking were the same thoughts as yesterday. What if you changed 10% of those? What about 5% or 3%?
Your life would begin to change for the better.
Go out and conquer your day.

I want you to remember this - You are Good Enough. I know you might not think it because you might be facing some challenges right now. I know how that feels. You have made mistakes in the past. You might have said something to someone that you regret. Maybe you didn't act fast enough. Whatever the reasons you can't change the past. You are HUMAN and you will make mistakes.
But, it doesn't take away from the fact that you are a good person and you are good enough. When you start feeling better and you start taking care of yourself you will start to see that more and more. Brighter days are ahead.
Just don't give up. Keep going. It will always get better my friend.
Go out and conquer you day.
More great shows coming.

Some people like being alone and they are much happier. On the other end, many people think a relationship will fix all of their problems and it rarely does. If anything, it can often bring more problems. If you are single or just out of a relationship why not take some time and work on yourself?
When you find solace and strength in being alone, and you start loving yourself again, you will be a much better place to be in a relationship again.
Go out and conquer your day and week.

If you are struggling but pushing through I want you to Trust the Process. If you are on a journey of healing and recovery, I want you to Trust the Process.
Any type of self improvement and growth is going to be uncomfortable and often painful but it's needed for your life. Believe in yourself and be confident even in the midst of adversity.
Trust in yourself and Trust the Process.
Be safe and take care -
Until next time,
Patrick

Make a habit of checking in with yourself. Here are some tips on how to do it:
Be Honest with yourself about your feelings. You might be able to BS others, but you can't BS yourself.
Check in with your support system. Don't wait for them to call you. You can reach out. If they care about you they will take the time.
Create time for reflection. Dig deep and find out who you are and what your purpose and why are.
Start Journaling. There is something powerful about the written word - Your written words!
Practice Mindfulness. This helps tremendously. You can meditate, practice breathing techniques. We have so many options available to us today. It might be difficult at first but you will get better.
Go out and conquer your day - Until next time.

Endings can be painful. I have been through my share as I am sure you all have. But endings can be the start of something beautiful if you are open to it. Endings are a part of life. We are born and someday we will die (Hopefully a long time from now), but it's an ending. And when something ends, something begins.
Keep your mind and heart open and realize that something need to end in your life for beautiful things, and people, to enter into it.
Go out and conquer you day and week.

We are all busy. You. Me. And everyone else in the world. But, you have 60 SECONDS in your day to make a difference for yourself and someone else.
What can you do in 60 Seconds? More than you realize:
Give yourself a high five
Repost something uplifting
Take 10 deep breaths
Support a friend
Pay yourself a compliment
Mediate
Read a page of a book
The list goes on, but most people think that 60 seconds in nothing. I need hours and days, months or years to make positive steps forward.
Not the case. Start with 60 Seconds and build from there. MAKE THE TIME.
Go out and conquer your day.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Top Ranked Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast. Top ranked because of YOU, the listener and supporter. I am blessed and grateful to have all YOU AMAZING listeners and supporters and I thank you again. Please take a moment and give us that 5-Star Rating and Review on Apple Podcasts.
If you are a new listener, welcome. We know you will love the show. If you are a long-time listener, welcome back.
A big thank you to ALL the brave men and women in the Criminal Justice Field. Remember you ALL are honored, cherished and LOVED.
My next guest is Conrad Weaver. He is an Award-winning producer and President and owner of Conjostudios, LLC, a video production company based in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Conrad received a Mid-America Regional EMMY® Award for his 2014 documentary feature, the Great American Wheat Harvest (2014). His second feature length documentary film, Thirsty Land (2016) was completed in early 2016 and is currently available on Amazon Prime. The award-winning documentary, Heroin’s Grip (2018) is Conrad’s third feature length documentary, and he is the executive producer and writer on a feature narrative film called Scars of an Orphan.
Emergency first responders are suffering from post-traumatic stress in record numbers, but they are often afraid of losing their job if they ask for help; this must change.
Conrad created the award winning documentary PTSD911. PTSD911 is a film about real people: normal, average human beings who have chosen to work in professions that require above average heroism, fortitude, and resolve. These men and women have jobs that require a willingness to face things that most of us can’t even imagine yet maintain a high level of dignity and professionalism. First responders repeatedly see and experience things that most of us will never see, causing compound issues related to post-traumatic stress injuries and disorders.
A great show with a great guest.

This Monday, I want you to stop doing this if you are: STOP CHASING PEOPLE.
If people care about you they will want to spend time with you.
Learn to be happy and content with yourself first. This starts with knowing what you want out of life. Your happiness will not come from someone else. It has to be internal first.
Learn to say NO to people.
People who you never hear from seem to appear out of nowhere when they want something from you. Get rid of these people. They are using you.
Chasing after people implies that you value their presence more than your own self-worth.
Go out and conquer you day and please be safe.
A great guest in coming on this week.

I believe that the foundation for everything in life centers around strength. You need strength for every hard task that you want to accomplish. I am not just talking about physical strength either. I am talking about grit, determination and fortitude. Something that some of you have lost along the way. If you want to improve ANYTHING in your life it takes strength.
And believe it or not, YOU HAVE IT INSIDE OF YOU. You are a first responder. You can accomplish anything. You do what most can't and don't want to.
Go out and conquer your day.

I want to speak to those listeners in recovery. Maybe its for alcohol or drugs, maybe it's for mental health. There is a good chance it's for both.
Never give up the fight. There is no end date either. You will always be fighting for your sobriety and healthy mental health. The sooner you accept this the better chance you have of success.
I have bad days, but my good days eclipse my bad days because I will never give up. You shouldn't either too. You deserve to be health and happy.
Always remember that.

I know you can get irritated going to the same calls, dealing with the same people with the same problems. However, I want you to take a step back for a moment and realize people who are struggling are human too. People who are struggling might be struggling with the same challenges you have been or are.
I really believe that people who are struggling share many commonalities. So, before you start judging people I want you to view as people that need your help. And I also want you to remember that you might be, or probably are, dealing with your own challenges.
The only difference is you had some opportunities and they probably didn't.
Go out and do good in the world, and please be safe.

One of the most powerful things you can do if you have made it through your storm is to share your story. While this might scare you, it is very therapeutic and it can also help so many people.
My next guest is doing just that.
Retired SGT Mark DiBona is helping so many first responders by sharing his struggles, and how he overcame them. He came close to taking his own life twice during his 33-year law enforcement career. His diagnoses of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety nearly ended his career. On his road to recovery, Mark was and is still very open about the struggles he encountered and the lack of support he received.
Mark shares how he personally found strength to step away from the precipice and what the rest of us can do to help.
A great and powerful interview.

Are you the person who signs up for all the overtime at your job? Are you constantly thinking about work? You need to step away from the job when you are off.
The extra money you make in OT will NEVER take the place of time spent with your family and kids. Trust me. I learned this the hard way. Start prioritizing the PEOPLE in your life, instead of the stuff you want.
Balance your life out. You will thank you me later.

In patient treatment for most people is a life saver. I know, I was received treatment and it helped save my life. What some don't understand, or better yet don't want to accept, is that this is just the beginning of your journey of sobriety and and overall health and wellness.
Inpatient treatment treats, but your Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and other therapy after your inpatient is probably the most important part of your treatment journey.
My next Guest is going to explain why.

Welcome back to Microcast Monday. Short bursts of inspiration and motivation to get you started for your week. Happy Memorial Day. Please take a moment on this day to reflect and pay tribute to the brave men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this great country. God Bless them All.

This week I want you to really reflect and think about the people who you spend the most time with. This could be family or it could be friends. Ask yourself are they helping or hindering. If they do not bring any value to your life and make you strive for greatness then it's time to leave them behind.
Now this might sound harsh, but it's necessary for your overall health and wellbeing. Don't be afraid to move on from people who are negative, toxic and complain all the time. They LOVE company.
Take charge of your inner circle and watch how your attitude changes for the better.

Go somewhere where you won't be disturbed. Tell people you won't be available for a bit. Turn off your phone, find a comfortable place to sit and close your eyes. I want you to listen to the noises around you. Feel where you are sitting. Smell the odors around you and be STILL. Calm you mind. Be present. The stillness is your friend.
We all are going 100mph all the time. Take time to relax. Take time to be still. Take time to be present in the moment. This moment will never return.
Go out and conquer your day.

TRIGGER WARNING
There is one inevitability that we are will face. That is our death. No one can escape that fact that we will no longer exist at some point. We live and we must die. However, that doesn't mean we can't live our lives to our fullest potential before that day and be happy and healthy while doing so.
I want you to ponder on this fact throughout your day and week. If you found out tomorrow that it was going to be your last day - What would you do different? Would you love more? Make mends with those fractured relationships? The list goes on.
Whether tomorrow ends or not you should be living your life like there is no tomorrow.
This is the only way your life will change.

You want to know the secret to success? Step out of your comfort zone. That's it. Simple yet hard to do. We are all creatures of habit and we don't like change. But, you need to radically change your life in order to succeed in anything. First, you need to stop doing the Sh*t that brings you heartache and stress. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the definition of crazy.
Remember you have to power. You always had and always will.

Stoicism - an ancient Greek school of philosophy founded at Athens by Zeno of Citium. The school taught that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge
Much of the teachings and literature on Stoicism is still very relevant in our modern world. I really liked the Roman Emperor / Stoic - Marcus Aurelius
Everyday I read a book by Ryan Holliday - The Daily Stoic. 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and The Art of Living.
The following reading is from March 21st.
"People seek retreats for themselves in the country, by the sea, or in the mountains. You are very much in the habit of yearning for those same things. But this is entirely the trait of a base person, when you can, at any moment, find such a retreat in yourself. For nowhere can you find a more peaceful and less busy retreat than in your own soul- especially if on close inspection it is filled with ease, which I say is nothing more that being well-ordered. Treat yourself often to this retreat and be renewed." - Marcus Aurelius, - Meditations, 4.3.1
Stop looking to the outside world to find peace. Find Solace within Yourself.

I want you to think about how you hang out with. Who is your tribe? Your friends? Are they bringing you up or bringing you down. You are the average of the 5 people you associate with.
You need to be very careful who you let into your circle, because a lot of people want to see you fail. Remember the saying Misery Loves Company? Some people are just toxic and negative and you don't need that in your life.
You want people to tell you like it is with empathy and compassion because they love you.
Do your People inventory today. Divide the list of people who are good for you and people who are bad for you. It's pretty simple. If one side outweighs the other then you know what to do.
Go out and conquer your day.

My next guest will inspire and motivate you - Jason Schechterle
On the night of March 26, 2001, a taxi cab, traveling at over 100mph crashed into the rear of Jason’s patrol car.
Upon impact, Jason’s car burst into flames, trapping him inside.
Through a series of miraculous and fateful circumstances, Jason survived the crash and ensuing physical and emotional catastrophe. He suffered severe burns to over 40% of his body which drastically altered his appearance. He has undergone more than 50 surgeries just to have the ability to accomplish simple daily tasks we often take for granted.
Jason’s journey chronicles his fight for life, his triumph over tragedy and the inspiration that enables him to continue to overcome unimaginable adversity. His personal narrative exemplifies that the power of the human spirit can never be underestimated or extinguished.
His story is one of life, rebirth, and transformation. Jason represents the human experience at its very best – an ascent from despair to describing himself as the luckiest person alive!
Such an amazing and inspiring person.

It took me a long time to realize that all of my challenges and problems that I faced I contributed in some way to them. I encourage you to reflect on your own life and problems you are facing.
I started doing these two things:
1) Accept the place you are at in life - Acceptance is key. You might not like it but this is the reality. It doesn't matter how you got where you are at - You are here! Now What?
2) Take responsibility for your part in your problems - OWN YOUR PART. Don't be one of the many who blame others, circumstances or GOD for you problems.
If you follow this two steps, albeit hard as they are, you will see significant improvement in your life.
More great shows coming up.

Any success you have in your life is going to come incrementally. Success doesn't happen overnight like some say. You have to work hard to receive results and often those results come with time - hence, incrementally.
Remember you have to put in the work to see the results.
You got this!

I frequently hear people say, I want to go back to the time when....(fill in the blank). You are never going back to that time. You have to adapt to the one constant - Change. You can either go with it or go kicking and screaming because it's moving forward.
Sure, no one likes change but this is where your growth and opportunities are. A new boat doesn't get tested sitting in the harbor, it has to go out to sea to see if it can handle it. The same is true with you.
The past is the past - It's NEVER coming back. We all make mistakes and wish we could have done things differently, but you are NOT the mistakes you have made.
You chart your own path. The future is where it's at.

We all want instant gratification. That is just the world we live in. However, there are no shortcuts to your health and happiness. You have to put in the work. There are no "magic pills" for this. Remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Hard work, dedication, and focus will get you to the place you want to be. Don't fall for the shortcuts because there aren't any.
Go out and conquer your day and please be safe.

I don't know if you know this but you can write your next chapter in your life. Too many people are waiting for someone else to write the pages for them. Are you one of them? If you are, it's time to take your power back. It belongs to you and you alone. Life is a series of chapters that you control. Always remember that.
I have relocated to Sunny Florida and I am writing my new chapter. I don't know what's in store, but I do know God is my guide and I am dedicated to Shatterproof and helping first responders.
Stay tuned for more great episodes.

Are you being true to yourself? Are you living on your terms and working for what you want out of your life? If not, you are not living your true self. Too many people are living a mundane existence and not going after their dreams.
All we have is time and it's limited too. You have this one life. Check this out:
Don't ever attach yourself to a person, a place, a company, an organization or a project. Attach yourself to a mission, a calling, a purpose ONLY. That's how you keep your power & peace.
Go for it. We believe in YOU.
Stay tuned for more great shows: A lot of great shows coming in 2024.
