Health, Wealth and the Pursuit of Happiness

In Episode 7 we review the reasons for the first four foundational episodes: Intention, Inspiration, Inner Listening and Big Vison; True Vision.

In Episode 5 Mark gets life planned by Aries. In Episode 6, the tables are turned and Aries gets life planned by Mark. Same discovery process but different tools and a different advisor. No two clients and no two advisors are alike. Each come into the self-discovery and exploration process with different strategies and intuitive leanings. It’s interesting to hear both styles and approaches used by Aries and Mark. Equally interesting are the tools used and the type of answers these different tools can deliver.

To live this idea of a more inspired life, we must start with intention. We must also understand that what truly inspires us is of Spirit. Knowing this we must develop the ability to listen to our Spirit; that voice from the depths our soul. True Vision and Big Vision emanates from this Spirit-led understanding and realization.

In this episode, Aries, sits in the advisor seat and through a role-playing exercise, takes Mark through the exploratory and vision stage of the life planning process. Using the Wheel of Life tool, he helps Mark gain greater clarity of himself and of his vision. Ultimately helping him discover who he wants to be, what he wants to do and have. Here you can observe and discover how this

Vision, in the context of what we are describing in this episode, is by definition something seen in the mind’s eye. If it’s Spirit-led, conveying a revelation or picture of a thought, concept, or object and is accompanied by strong feelings and emotions, it will lead to the manifestation of what you are envisioning. That is the ultimate power of what we refer to as a True Vision. The key to a Big Vision is it must be so much larger than yourself.

What do we mean by inner listening? In this Podcast we refer to it as the way one accesses the “voice” of their inner being. It is the essence of who we are and here we explore its role in living an inspired life of connection to your true nature and that of others. Inner listening is a skill and an art. Having it allows you to know the distinction between the voice of “self” and the voice of “spirit.”

Inspiration takes many forms and shapes. It’s a universal force that every human being strives to access. Just as there are no two snowflakes alike, so it is for the inspiration that may overtake each one of us. For some it’s about choosing a particular path as you wait for your life to take on a particular shape; to find out if you are capable of fulfilling your own most cherished dreams. For others it might be as simple as chasing a curious itch or a life long wanting of being, doing or having. Whatever it is for you, we want to help take a step in the direction of igniting it and then living fully into it.

All of us have experienced, at one time or another, moments when we knew exactly what we wanted. In its purest form, this is the birth of an intention: The desire for something in a specific moment or future period in time. In this episode, we talk about the power of intention and its role in creating an inspired life of real freedom.

As individuals inspired to live out our best lives, on this show, Mark and I will explore all topics relating to planning, building, and living out your best life. You can expect some great ideas regarding best life practices and in-depth discussions about living an authentic and inspiring life.
