Wisdom & Chocolate with Bets Danko

When you tap into your strength deliberately, it makes you unstoppable. 

You can stare your challenges down and take charge of them. In order to face those bigger challenges, we actually have to work on the smaller ones. Sort of build up the muscle, so that we can cope with and handle some of the bigger things which are at hand. To do this we need to look at patterns, things that we actually do all the time. We’re hardwired to creat...

Grief is experienced when you lose someone or something that means a lot to you. You can go through a grief process when you lose your job, when a friendship ends, and even when that car you have been mothering all of these years is no longer roadworthy. Your life is unique so your grief and the way you express that grief are also unique. One thing is true for everyone…there is a lot of strength to be gained as you work through gri...

Yes, you are enough.  You are more than enough.  You have purpose, and you have value. But all of us seem to get into spirals of self doubt and self loathing.  Why? We forget.  We forget the value of our dreams, morals, and value.  Well that all needs to change.  Never forget again.  Sure… you can react to disappointments or even notice things about yourself you’d like to improve.  But do it with the understanding that above all el...

If you feel that you're misunderstood, figure out how to change the communication so that others can understand you.

All of these things combined, help you to communicate with other people and increase your confidence.

But should we settle for that? Just because people call it the new norm, should we allow it to be normal? No. It's time to actively taking charge of your reactions. You're the one who makes a choice to follow your impulses. So why not mak...

All Things change, so why not create the change before it creates challenge. Allow it to be part of your mindset. If you don't want those challenges to push you into arenas you never wanted, then be in charge of the change. You need to be the one who dictates your mindset and how your life will move forward. Believe that what you want is what you were meant to experience. Believe it, and believe it now.

Doing so will encourage you to engage in a more meaningful way with others.

You need to feel as though your life matters. You need to feel as though you are contributing something, that you have significance, that you being here on the earth means something. Your purpose is directly tied to your actions. This is something that you have a great deal of control over. What it is that you do, and how you are in service to yourself and to others, helps to dictate what your purpose is and how significant you fee...

Today we take a shallow dive into The Power of Three.  There is power in words. The words you choose hold meaning. If you're not progressing and you're not moving forward, think of the words that you are using. Think of the moments when you're using them. If they're not supporting you, flip them around, choose more positive words. Do you feel like you’re stagnating? Maybe it’s because you’re procrastinating. Why...
