A new study shows that spending time in your own outdoor space can significantly lower stress, boost mood, and improve focus. No fancy gear. No big commitment. Just you, outside, breathing and being still.

In this short video, I share why a few minutes in your backyard might be exactly what your mind and body need—especially in today’s noisy world.

☀️ Coffee.
🌳 Birds.
🪑 Stillness.
That’s therapy, right there.

Take a deep breath and hit play.
Then try it for yourself—and let me know what shifts for you.

Hey, it’s Greg Justice—just sharing a peaceful moment from my backyard, and a powerful reminder I recently came across.A new study shows that spending time i...

Celebrating the Wins of Others

One of the most rewarding aspects of my journey has been the privilege to witness the incredible success of those around me. Whether it’s a colleague hitting a major milestone, a friend launching a new venture, or a mentee reaching new heights, there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing others thrive.

I want to take a moment to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and determination that everyone in my network is putting into their goals. Your achievements, big and small, are inspiring, and I am genuinely grateful to be part of your journey.

Success is not just about individual accomplishments – it’s about lifting each other up, sharing knowledge, and encouraging those around us to reach their fullest potential. Let’s continue to celebrate one another, share our victories, and inspire each other to keep growing.

To everyone making an impact – keep shining, keep pushing, and keep succeeding. The world is better for it!

Your purpose, like the mechanical compass of a GPS system, drives you quietly and unconsciously in the direction of your destination; your true goals, ambitions and dreams.

Goals are good and necessary ... But they are aimless mechanisms that so often simply feel bad and empty; because they are not in line with your true purpose.

Your purpose is the directional arrow that shows you the way; your goals are the simple steps that help take you there.

Taking responsibility for Your Actions

Blaming others for failures or setbacks is a major “head hurdle” to success.

To be successful is to recognize that everything is up to you--you are responsible for the effort you put in.

The Last Battle ... Remembering my friend and mentor, Fred Hatfield, who wrote this many years ago.

I’m old by all metrics save one.

Self-perception.

I tried a simple cartwheel on the beach with disastrous consequences.

I jumped up onto a locker box with disastrous consequences.
Stuck out my chest for my wife, only to realize my belly was also out.

I looked in the mirror only to see a bald head and wrinkles.
This is not the man I have always called “me”!

Ah, ego fights back with a vengeance!

Of all the mountains I’ve climbed, only one stands yet to be conquered.

Self.

“After all,” says my ego, “I am a formidable foe!”

Yes, that’s what ego says.

“We have met the enemy, and it is us,” said the Pogo cartoon.

Profound, really.

Why should we be our own worse enemy?

I will tell you why, and I will tell you how to conquer self.

You have not conquered self because your ego cannot do battle with self when you see them as one and the same.

Your higher self must be called upon, the self that is able to look down on your thoughts, intents and emotions.

To find this higher self, you must actually WANT to find it!

Once you accept this fact, and embrace it, and acknowledge that you hunger and thirst for it, it will find you.

Then, the battle begins. I AM (the real you) will win.

"Lesson the Spice Girls Taught Me".

"I'll tell you what I want." -Spice Girls

Back in 1996, the Spice Girls released a song called "Wannabe", where one of the lines in the song goes..."Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want".

Much like our clients try to tell us what they want.

It's important to listen to your clients and give them "what they really, really want"...along with what they NEED.

To find out what they want you need to create opportunities for them to speak freely.

Ask open-ended questions and listen closely to the feedback they're giving you.

Practice active listening, notice their tone of voice to judge how they really feel and encourage open communication from the client.

Never interrupt your client when they’re speaking, and make sure you aren’t the one doing all the talking.

Pay close attention to their energy and non-verbal language so you can identify any disinterest or lessening of enthusiasm that may occur during specific activities.
