Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, and Martin Luther King Jr. are considered as some of the most profound and influential leaders of our time. But why? Was luck on their side or were they chosen by a higher power? They were neither lucky nor chosen. Rather, they chose to be conscientious. They chose to apply their mental faculties in a purposeful way to spark and sustain their motivation. They chose to unwaveringly direct their minds to choices that serves their own good and that of humanity! In fact, this is true of any great leader, innovator, or artist who willingly chooses to use the full spectrum of their reasoning faculties to become the best version of themselves and do their highest good. When you grasp that every thought, mood, and emotion available to humankind can be activated at will, you have taken a crucial step towards harnessing your true inner power. Happiness is a choice, anger is a choice, boredom is a choice. Every man and woman is in complete control of their interior states. Of course there are exceptions! Individuals who suffer from clinical mood and mental disorders such as Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are unable to take charge of their impulses and direct their minds to make beneficial choices. However, most of us are not suffering from such debilitating clinical disorders, rather we lack a key ingredient for fulfillment and success: MOTIVATION. To provide insight into why some of us have higher levels of motivation than others, this episode examines the relationship between human motives, motivation, and fear. As always, never forget to SMILE and be KIND!

How often do you think about your breathing? Do you ever worry about your next breath, or do you expect it to be there? Do you ever fear that your breathing will cease while you sleep, or do you expect to awaken every morning? The truth is, unless a person’s breathing must be monitored due to health issues, most do not give the notion of respiration too much thought because it occurs naturally. There is an inner intelligence that commands the body’s most vital functions including our breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, waste elimination and hormone production. If we are not scared about the most important element of life, our breathing, then why are so many of us afraid to live a vibrant, genuine, and purposeful life? Why are so many of us living as mice, when we have the capabilities of LIONS and LIONESSES to achieve our dreams? To shed light on these questions, this week’s EP (1) Examines where fear of rejection, humiliation, shame, and worthlessness emanate from; and (2) Argues that fear is a consequence of social conditioning and poor application of one’s mental faculties. As always, never forget to SMILE and be KIND!

According to Greek mythology, Pandora was gifted a box from Zeus for her wedding but was warned against opening it. Pandora, however, was unable to tame her inquisitiveness, consequently unleashing unspeakable miseries into the world including hatred, pain, disease, and death to name a few. Despite the evil that had been released from the box, one key desire remained: HOPE. More of us need to be brave like Pandora! We need to blow open our box of fear with the HOPE of living life on our terms, otherwise we will forever be enslaved to our inner demons. Indeed, the journey of healing will be tumultuous, but vulnerability and authenticity will set us free. This week’s EP peels back the fundamental layers of fear including: (1) What fear is; (2) The different types of fear people experience; and (3) The impact of fear on the body. As always, never forget to SMILE and be KIND!
