The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville The posture of a warrior means showing up strong! That’s because posture isn’t just about your spine, it’s about how you show up to life. A warrior doesn’t slouch through their day, making excuses for their pain & procrastination. A warrior stands tall, with posture that tells the world: I’m here, I’m ready, and I won’t be moved. If you’re walking through life bent over by excuses, ignoring the physical toll on your body, then you’re sabotaging your own success. This isn’t just a talk about health, it’s a battle cry for those who are willing to do the work. Posture is power. A lifetime of internal strength is the reward. Dr. Rob Green & I are getting brutally honest about how taking care of your body IS taking care of your life. Stop waiting, stop whining, & start owning the posture of a warrior & the strength of a king. Tune in if you’re ready to stand tall in every sense of the word. Join Gordon D Melville, the Founder & CEO at JEWIL International, & ‘Legacy & Resilience Strategist’, AND his AMAZING Co-Host for this episode, Dr Rob Green – Chiropractor (Functional Movement, Exercise Rehabilitation & Fitness Training Specialties) as they dig into what they believe about what’s possible for us; we either believe we CAN or we can’t…either way we are usually correct! THAT IS something WE CAN control! You’re either committed to your self-care Warrior disciplines, or you’re not committed to excellence! Ready to execute? Tune in, bring your journal & your friends, because this episode WILL challenge you to stop settling for less, & to show up, listen up, & realign! Let’s get after it! Dr. Rob is a Chiropractor and Strength and Conditioning Specialist. He is the Co-Owner of Price Health, and Co-Founder of The Fit Club - both in Waterloo. However, he is first and foremost a family man - father of 3 beautiful kids and husband to an amazing wife. Growing up on a farm in rural Ontario, he fell in love with Basketball at an early age. He translated this love of the game into his career helping athletes and University sports teams, and most recently the KW Titans to perform and recover at their best. Dr. Rob believes and teaches the importance of health and fitness as the foundation for a successful, fulfilling and happy life. When he is not at work - you can find him coaching basketball, camping with his family, making beer or shooting hoops in the driveway. http://www.pricehealth.ca/ Light From The Shadows: Enriching The Lives Of Others Inspired Choices Network Hosts Author Gordon D.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville Maximizing Impact With Precision Communication. Without precise communication, your impact is nonexistent. Impact starts when you choose your words with intent, when your communication serves a purpose & delivers exactly the punch you intend. Communication done right doesn’t just say something, it does something. It changes minds, shifts directions, & most importantly, creates impact. We’re diving in deep, exploring the types of communication that work, dissecting why most people fail to communicate powerfully, & laying down the steps to change it. You can’t afford to coast in life, hoping to be heard; you have to make yourself heard. Ready to take control, ditch the mediocrity, & communicate like the impactful man you were meant to be? Then show up. It’s time to stop talking & start communicating with precision. Here is your golden invite, in case that’s what you are waiting for; to tune into Gordon D Melville, ‘The Long Bearded Guy’ & the ‘Legacy & Resilience Strategist’ sharing from his heart, that powerful communication isn't a feel-good idea; it’s a damn necessity. Sharing it’s time to stop abdicating our power. It’s time to step up & master communication with laser-sharp precision. If you’re serious about leveling up, bring your journal & friends & join us. But if you’re still looking for excuses, keep steppin’, because this isn’t for you! Light From The Shadows: Enriching The Lives Of Others Inspired Choices Network Hosts Author Gordon D.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville The Discipline of Daily Excellence; Are You Ready to Show Up? Discipline is where it all begins. Daily excellence doesn’t happen by accident; it’s built in the trenches of our routines, in the structures we choose, & the habits we refuse to compromise. Discipline & excellence are forged every single day. Real success doesn’t wait for inspiration; it’s achieved through the unrelenting pursuit of progress. We’re talking about locking down the two things we CAN control: our mind & our actions. No excuses, no BS, no “someday” mentality, if you want excellence, you show up, day in & day out, & get the work done. This episode isn’t here to feed your feel-good affirmations. We’re stripping down to the real work of discipline: how to master your daily habits, nail your routines, & put self-care on a foundation of action. Stop waiting for the right time, the right energy, or the right feeling to push forward. Join Gordon D Melville, the Founder & CEO at JEWIL International, and ‘Legacy & Resilience Strategist’ as he digs into what we believe about what’s possible for us; we either believe we CAN or we can’t…either way we are usually correct! THAT IS something WE CAN control! You’re either committed to discipline, or you’re not committed to excellence. Ready to execute? Tune in, bring your journal & your friends, because this episode challenges you to own every minute & elevate your game.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville Fear is Your Limit! Let’s get one thing straight, fear is the only thing standing between you and the life you claim to want. Every excuse, every hesitation, every way you avoid the hard truth? That’s fear. And until you own that, you’ll stay stuck. Fear is your limit, and the longer you let it rule you, the tighter those chains become. The status quo is a trap for those who choose mediocrity, who let fear set the boundaries on their potential. But here’s the truth: you have no real limit except the ones fear makes you believe in. I’m here to destroy those limits. I don’t coddle; I don’t care about your excuses; we can all make them. My mission is simple: to force you to take 100% ownership of your life, confront the lies you’ve been telling yourself, and ignite relentless action; if that is what you truly desire and are ready to do the brutal hard work and sacrifice it takes to achieve it! If you’re ready to stop hiding behind your fear, break free, and do the brutal work of transformation, we’ll go all in. If not, then stay where you are, and stop complaining your life isn’t what you want it to be, because you have chosen fear as your limit. Sick and tired of being sick and tired enough to join Gordon D Melville, ‘The Long Bearded Guy’, ‘Champion Performance Catalyst’ and dubbed ‘King of EQ!’ as he rips off the veneer of the niceties and scrapes off the sugar coating lies we convince ourselves are reality and challenges you to embrace great? Bring your journal, your friends and leave your fear at the door, if you are courageous enough to be here…then LET’S GET AFTER THIS!

When everything is on the line, & the path ahead is unclear, you can’t afford to hesitate. Navigating uncertainty is the difference between staying stuck & pushing forward with relentless drive.

We discuss raw, actionable strategies for navigating these chaotic moments, cutting through the fog, & making decisive moves when everything feels uncertain. Forget waiting for clarity—it’s time to create it. Life doesn’t hand you a perfect roadmap; the ones who win are the ones willing to step into the unknown, make bold decisions, & take unapologetic action. I help you face uncertainty head-on, teaching you how to navigate it with precision & power. You want to thrive, not just survive? It starts with owning every decision & trusting yourself to navigate the storm.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville The People Who Stand The Test Of Time! Possibly the most important thing you'll read this year. Think about the people in your life—the ones who truly matter, who have stood the test of time. We often test our memory by recalling the headliners: the wealthiest people, the most prestigious award winners. But how many of these people do you actually remember? Names fade. Achievements dull. But the people who truly make a difference—those who stand the test of time—aren't the ones with the accolades; they're the ones who were there when it mattered most. Charles Schulz, the creator of 'Peanuts,' once posed the question: Who are the people who have made a lasting impact on your life? The answer isn’t found in fame, fortune, or fleeting success. It’s found in those who invested in you when the world wasn’t watching. This episode digs deep into the real heroes—the people who go beyond the spotlight. Join Gordon D Melville, ‘The Long Bearded Guy’, ‘The King of EQ’ and the ‘Champion Performance Catalyst’ to the Pros; and tune in to discover why it’s not about standing on the podium, but standing by the people who stood with you when it mattered most!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville Success isn’t something that happens by accident; it’s the direct result of every choice you make. Choice, not chance, is what steers your life. It’s easy to dismiss the role of choice in success, but the truth is, every decision—big or small—has placed you exactly where you are today. Whether you embrace it or not, your choices shape your reality. The empowering truth is this: when you own your choices, you own your success. It’s time to confront this head-on. The path to success isn’t paved by luck, but by the conscious decisions you make every single day. Like it or not, those choices have built the life you’re living now. The sooner you accept this truth, the sooner you can make smarter, more aligned decisions that propel you forward. Join me, Gordon D Melville, ‘The Long Bearded Guy’, Founder & CEO of JEWIL International as we dive into the raw, unfiltered reality of choice and success. Tune in to discover how taking full ownership of your decisions can transform your life and your future.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville What does it mean to recon one’s own life? Do we have the guts to do a deep dive into our own self-awareness?! Self-awareness is the cornerstone of all personal growth, yet so many of us lack the courage to do the hard introspection needed to truly engage with our inner selves. Self-awareness isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the key to unlocking your full potential. But how do we get there? By conducting a reconnaissance mission on our own life! It’s time to dig deep & identify the weaknesses that hold us back & the opportunities for growth that lie dormant within us. Imagine conducting a personal SWOT analysis—assessing your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, & threats—not in your business, but in your soul. This is your chance to take a hard, raw look at who you are, where you’re going, & what’s holding you back. We often avoid the discomfort of self-examination, but it’s only through facing our truths that we can rise. Join Gordon D Melville, ‘The Long Bearded Guy’, ‘The King of EQ!’, & the ‘Champion Performance Catalyst’ to the pros, as he takes us on another journey so we can explore what it means to truly know yourself. Tune in to ‘The Long Bearded Guy’ for an unfiltered exploration into the depths of self-awareness & life transformation. If you have the courage, grab your journal & your friends who need to hear this too & let’s get after it!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville The truth is, SMART goals aren’t as inspired as we’ve been led to believe. Sure, they’re Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, & Time-bound—SMART by definition—but they often miss the mark entirely. These goals may check all the boxes, but where’s the fire, the passion, the driving force that propels you toward greatness? SMART goals may set a framework, but they lack the essence of true vision & ambition. In reality, they often constrain us, keeping us within the comfortable confines of mediocrity. The problem with SMART goals is that they encourage you to aim for what's safe, what's predictable, & what’s already within reach. But what about the goals that push boundaries, defy expectations, & shatter limitations? The goals that truly change lives aren’t SMART—they’re audacious, bold, & driven by an unrelenting desire to break free from the ordinary. If you want more than just incremental progress, it’s time to rethink how you set your goals & aim for something far beyond SMART. Come join Gordon D Melville, ‘The Long Bearded Guy’, ‘The King of EQ’ & the ‘Legacy & Resiliency Catalyst’ to the pros as he challenges the conventional wisdom of SMART goals & encourages a more profound, transformative approach to goal setting, consistent with his bold, no-nonsense brand.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville If the enemy within is controlled, the enemy outside can do me no harm. Commit to owning the reasons you lost; you are not a victim. Demand yourself to take 100% ownership. Look the challenge in the eye, unflinching, & declare, 'I am NOT going anywhere!' I have fought too hard & too long to quit now.

Pledge that not one will out will or outwork me. In moments of doubt, remember: the fire inside you burns brighter than any challenge outside. You control your destiny. Embrace the struggle, harness your resolve, & never, ever waver. This journey is yours alone, & giving up is not an option. When you understand why you’re going forward, nothing can stop you. Confront every obstacle with the unparalleled conviction that you are going nowhere but up!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville In the relentless pursuit of success, men often buy into the myth of invincibility. It's a narrative that whispers seductive promises of unassailable achievement, a siren call that lures us into believing we can conquer the world without consequence. But let's cut to the bone here, this myth, this so-called invincibility, comes at a staggering cost. We're living in an era where the cult of busyness is glorified, where 'success' often translates to sleepless nights at the office, missed family dinners, & neglected anniversaries. We've become unfaithful to our relationships, not because we're inherently flawed, but because we buy into this dangerous myth. We believe we can neglect our partners, our families, & our friends while we pursue the elusive dream of invincibility. We buy into the lie that our careers are more important, more urgent, than the bonds we've cultivated over the years. Let's strip away the veil of pretense & dive headfirst into a topic many would rather sweep under the rug. It's time to confront the myth of invincibility & the havoc it wreaks on our lives, especially in the lives of men & those we profess to care about & love. But here's the harsh truth: The myth of invincibility, when embraced, leaves a trail of shattered hearts & fractured relationships in its wake. You are cordially invited to join ‘The Long Bearded Guy’, the Founder & CEO of JEWIL International, in this no-holds-barred exploration, we'll uncover the grim reality of sacrificing connection on the altar of invincibility. Buckle up, because we won't sugar-coat it – this is a raw, unflinching revelation of the toll this myth takes on our lives. Bring your journal & a friend, or 5, & let’s dive into the deep end, into the untouched places we don’t even admit to ourselves are there. Let’s shine a 1 million candle-watt flashlight in those corners and leave nowhere to hide! I dare you! Let’s get after it! ~ More The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville At the core of who we are & how we engage with the world lies a fundamental duality: being & doing. These two concepts shape our experiences, choices, & perceptions. Understanding the difference between being & our addiction to doing can lead us to a more balanced and fulfilling life. "Being" & "doing" are two sides of the same coin, but they focus on different aspects of your life. Think of "being" as your core identity, the qualities that make you unique. It's about the values, beliefs, and emotions that reside within you, independent of any external actions. On the other hand, "doing" refers to your actions and behaviors, the things you do in response to situations & circumstances. It's the way you interact with the world & the choices you make, where society as a whole has us focused on & the addiction to, action or our “doing”. These actions can reflect our "being," but they don't define our entire identity. Your actions are important, but they're like the outer shell of who you are. Your "being" is what gives substance to those actions. When you're aware of, & live out of your core values & beliefs, your "doing" becomes more intentional, meaningful & breaks the cycle of addiction to it! Connect with Gordon D Melville, The Long Bearded Guy & the Founder & CEO of JEWIL International as he discusses our addiction to doing & refocuses us on our being! Sometimes, there can be a disconnect between the two. We might do things that don't align with our true selves because of societal pressure or other influences. Bring your journal & a friend & let’s explore and intentionally grow along our journeys together! This balance can lead to a much more fulfilling & genuine life journey.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville Deepak Chopra said "When you make choices, you change the future!" I believe that many folks don't even realize or are aware that they even have choices that they can make! Humans were gifted to be able to have unlimited choices, the consequences of which are pretty much non-negotiable. That being said, many many folks don't even take advantage of them and actually make choices! It's tragic that we hold the keys to our own success in our hands much of the time & either are too scared or unaware of the blessing of choices we have & don't make. This week The Long Bearded Guy, The KIng of EQ, Gordon D Melville will challenge what we believe we know about how much choice we have truly!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville The unintended obtuse believe that mental awareness is restricted to the statistical "1 in 5" who admit to experiencing it. The absolute truth & reality is that 5 in 5, yes everyone has mental awareness. That's right believe it or not! We are all on that spectrum! It's inclusive for everyone whether they have awareness of that or acknowledge that or not! We are all on that mental awareness spectrum! There are multiple lenses to view this concept thru, to help explain & illustrate these concepts that everyone is on this range. We sheepishly hide our judgement of folks struggling in these ways by using words like "stigma". Alas, that tragically thinly veils our misunderstanding & lack of self-awareness surrounding this critical topic which needs to be blown wide open! Everyone is involved whether we realize it, like it or even understand that or not! This means if we are not a part of the solution, unfortunately we are a part of the shameful problem!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville We all need to give ourselves the grace we so freely give to so many others around us! But not use it as one of the excuses that we choose to let us off the hook about things. So much of the time we are the hardest on ourselves without even a thought of grace. We all require a dose of grace daily, which Papa promises to supply to each of us! That being said, there are also times when our excuses are used as a way we choose to excuse ourselves from showing up the way we know we aught to. Excuses are plentiful & as creative as can be! They seem easy to use towards our own advantage when its convenient & we just don't want to! We come up with some pretty amazing excuses, that even we believe. Sometimes there are very solid, completely justifiable reasons why we are choosing not to do or be something & that's perfectly ok! There can be a fine line in our own personal integrity & sometimes we will be the only one who knows if its an excuse or if we are giving ourselves the grace we need in that moment. Come choose to explore & intentionally grow with 'The Long Bearded Guy', Gordon D Melville, 'The King of EQ' on his mission to positively change the lives of 10 million+ men by increasing their EQ! He will discuss grace & excuses & how we use each! Why we need to give ourselves grace & stop hiding from our empowerment & potential by making excuses.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville I think all of us at one time or another have searched out or googled information for a "life hack" to get us through some kind of situation at home or work. We sometimes want an easier, quicker way out, or through to our goals, at times pushing out the full experience that the journey through would provide us with. We want a short-cut, or a quicker way out of the challenge. For the pieces of our lives that truly matter, there are no hacks or short-cuts. We must go through it all! Much of the time it's the going through it, that provides the greatest experiences to provide us with the lessons, the wisdom, the most valuable parts of it all! In our instant society we want it all NOW, we want the results without doing the work & it just doesn't work that way! This week The Long Bearded Guy, Gordon D Melville, The King of EQ takes his mission of positively changing the lives of 10 million men by raising their EQ into the space of going through things. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to that. So we are going through the challenges & hard stuff anyway, might as well look for & learn the lessons as we go through it! It's just the wise thing to do! Bring your journal, a friend & ALL the men you know & in your life & let's intentionally learn how to get through & keep going!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville Over the history of time the roles of men & women have been modified in many ways, especially in the last 60 or 70 years. But even with all that positive change, increased awareness & role models, better than 40% of men feel they are considered weak & are embarrassed if they talk about their mental awareness struggles. That's tragic when coupled with the fact that almost 80% of men polled talk about battling their own mental awareness with symptoms of anxiety, stress or depression. They believe if they talk & share that they are weak somehow! We feel like we should be able to "man up", "cowboy up", or just "suck it up" & be strong on our own because anything short of that is just weak! This MUST change like NOW! The Long Bearded Guy, Gordon D Melville & The King of EQ invites you to join him on his mission to positively change the lives of 10 million men by raising their EQ! Are you willing to stand with him & let our men know it's ok for them to share how they are feeling, to talk about things without feeling weak? Can you be a safe place without judgement of any kind & lead with love for the men in your life? Including YOU if you are one! Are we able to give grace to those around us?

How long are we going to continue to choose to abdicate our own responsibilities around addressing men's mental awareness?

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville It's been said that hindsight is 20/20, and it only takes seconds to glance back. But it also requires courage! There is a reason that the rear view mirror in our vehicles is small, but the windshield is big! While where we are going is much more important than where we have been, it is still important to know where we have been for many reasons. But, while the courage it takes to glance in our rearview mirror takes seconds, it can be very impactful if we allow it to be. We can learn a TON, inspire ourselves to press on, and measure how far we have come in seconds, if we have the courage to look! Join Gordon D Melville, The Long Bearded Guy & Founder & CEO at JEWIL International, as he takes a little over 3300 seconds to courageously look back at key moments to see what the results of those key moments were. While IN those moments we may not see their magnitude, but looking back with some time elapsed can be eye opening! Being vulnerable & transparent are important, key leadership traits towards building trust, relatability & as an example of what TO or NOT to do!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville Mastery of anything requires dedicated focus & concerted effort for a long period of time, and emotional intelligence is no different! It has been said that mastery of any subject needs 10,000 hours of practice. We spend our whole lives in the pursuit of mastery of our emotional intelligence! Some to a greater effectiveness & proficiency than others to be sure. Our challenge with emotional intelligence as a topic is that it's different for each of us! So it's an ever moving target for us all! Just because it's hard, doesn't mean we shouldn't put the effort in though. On the contrary, mastering ourselves, mind, emotional intelligence & body can make a tremendously positive impact on our lives...and on others around us! Gordon D Melville, The King of EQ & The Long Bearded Guy continues his exploration of mastering our own emotional intelligence if we so desire!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville Let's be honest, control of any sort is a complete illusion! If you have children or pets you know what I speak of! Controlling ANYTHING outside or what WE think or do is just not a real thing. This is especially true when it comes to emotional intelligence. If we can't control 'self' in an emotional intelligence space, how can we possibly expect to be able to recognize it in others? It starts with choosing to work on self, that generates and builds our awareness and habits around our own emotional intelligence in day to day life. Typically we don't want to work on self, because its hard. Well, life is hard! So at least get a benefit from the pain! This week come and dig deep with Gordon D Melville, The Long Bearded Guy & King of EQ as he admonishes us to pay attention to the things in our lives we CAN control, namely ourselves! Simple but rarely easy, mostly hard, painful, messy & requiring 100% transparency & honesty with our largest critic...ourselves!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville Boots on the ground! We need to be aware, educate ourselves, measure what we want to grow, and motivate ourselves with memes, music, GREAT podcasts (like this one!) & the like, but at some point we need to have the "Audacity of Doing"! We must execute our plans to increase our emotional intelligence! If we do not execute our plans, then what is the point of having them? In our quest for increased emotional intelligence, it's in our ability & willingness to execute our plans that we ultimately glean a deeper awareness & understanding of our own emotional intelligence! That way, our 'doing' is a true extension of who we are 'being' and THAT my friends IS the very essence of applied emotional intelligence! Join Gordon D Melville, the King of EQ & The Long Bearded Guy as he continues to rattle our cages, and throws the gauntlet down to challenge us to join the less than 3% of those courageous enough to actually execute on their plans to intentionally grow through personal development! The biggest difference between success & not, a lot of the time is execution! Be Brave! Be courageous & have the "audacity of doing"!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville It's often said that if we don't measure it, it's just not a priority at the levels we believe it to be! If we desire improvement in anything we need to measure it, and our emotional intelligence is no different! What we measure, gets better! Why? Because energy flows where attention goes! So then the million dollar question is, how do we apply that concept to our intentional growth around our emotional intelligence?

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville This topic of Emotional Intelligence is such a huge one, that attempting to educate oneself about it all in a few short episodes of a radio show, podcast or TV show would be folly! To truly educate ourselves at a mastery level takes a lifetime of intentional effort & focus! That being said, the path to educate on emotional intelligence at a mastery level needs to begin somewhere right? To even consider increasing our emotional intelligence requires high levels of courage; to be introspective at a deep level, which most folks sadly, are quite simply not prepared to do. Gordon D Melville, The King of EQ, The Long Bearded Guy, honours you & has much respect for you if you are willing to join him to explore, learn, adopt & execute on bettering YOU! He loves & respects everyone, but he holds a special place in his heart for those courageous souls that are able to be vulnerable, transparent and have the guts to be honest about where they are at, especially with themselves!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville When it comes to intentionally growing ourselves & our emotions, it begins with Awareness! Awareness of ourselves, our experiences, the situations we find ourselves in at the moment & where our emotional state is. How do we become aware of or analyze our false or limiting beliefs around our emotional selves? Is our awareness being restricted by the way we were raised, or by a boss or partner; by a habit or experience we are allowing to impede us? If we continue to lack awareness of our own emotional positions, how will we ever be able to move forward in any sort of meaningful way or be able to read those things in our relationships with others? Bring your journal & a friend or two & listen as The Long Bearded Guy, Gordon D Melville, The King of E.Q. shares about having awareness of & towards intentionally growing our emotional intelligence to better ourselves, our relationships & our lives!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville I truly can be, have & execute anything I want & so can you! So often we attach our jobs or what we do to our identity & who we believe we are, and that is highly detrimental to achieving our success. Separate them, unhinge those two concepts because they do not belong together! That then poses the natural question, "Who do I want to be?" That answer significantly transcends what we do. That being said, once I intentionally set out who I want to be; and yes, we have been gifted the power to create that; what I am doing then is executing my plan to become! Becoming is much deeper & way more powerful than doing something because then we have alignment with our purpose! This week The Long Bearded Guy, Gordon D Melville, The King of EQ, mentor, coach, best-selling author & International speaker explores our misdirected fascination & seeming addiction to doing, without first investigating & creating who we want to be.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville There are only a few holidays in the year that are deeply moving for me; 911 is every year, Thanksgiving and the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is another due to the overwhelming gratitude I feel around it. I remember the sacrifices & efforts made by so many on my behalf to secure my freedom to be almost whatever I want! We personally have 9 service members in our own family who I remember & have huge gratitude for due to their service. In our busy lives we sadly tend to forget or marginalize it all. The historical shadows of the men, women, service animals and the families of, who were and are still seriously impacted; grow long & the stories of bravery & honour lose their gleam & luster. It breaks my heart that today's generations mostly don't know and haven't been taught to remember & have demonstrative gratitude for these very real heros. Those that gave some, some that gave all, need to be honoured and remembered always! In my personal opinion, its the least I believe we can do, to spend one day giving their last measure of service the respect it deserves! Gordon D Melville aka 'The Long Bearded Guy' will remember & show deep gratitude thru sharing stories of valor, bravery, sacrifice that bought with their blood our freedoms & way of life! Regular folks stepping up & doing extraordinary things for others! WOW! Huge respect for them! Were they perfect? No. None of us are, but what they did do was stand in the fray, stood on & defended our walls; put themselves in harm's way so generations after them could have the freedom of choices. Which are not afforded everyone & wouldn't have been for us either, save their sacrifices! Bring your journal, your poppy & a deeply grateful heart full of gratitude & let's honour them all!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville At times we all have a tendency to Shoulding & making unrealistic & unreasonable demands on ourselves and others, which cause undo stress, anxiety & pressure. Do you find yourself Shoulding all over yourself? Shoulding in my opinion is the act of doing or believing you need to do or be what you think you are supposed to; instead of doing what your heart desires towards fulfilling your purpose. We need not heed what other's opinions & expectations for us are. So, this allows that we can let that stuff go & execute on what we want & desire! Come & connect with Gordon D Melville aka 'The Long Bearded Guy' as he discusses mindset around Shoulding on ourselves, providing reasons we are much better off without doing this to ourselves or others! Gordon will share concepts we can implement immediately, to enable us to be able to show up 100% fully authentically, unapologetically, unabashedly as ourselves without a shred of guilt!
