Kintsugi Life

When things don't work out as we expected, there are those who take accountability and seek to learn and grow from the experience, and those who will try and explain it away with excuses and blame. In this episode I discuss how creating alternative explanations and excuses for failure and disappointing results can negate the opportunity to learn and grow; I share a six-step plan for how you can tackle such experiences and grow, strengthen and improve as a result, improving results and your life.

Recognising these thoughts for what they are, our mind trying to protect us from harm, danger and change is useful, but we also need to take appropriate action when confronted by them if we're to move forwards in life. In this episode I'll share how I've done that in my own life.

A big part of adopting and benefiting from the Kintsugi-Life philosophy is in managing our mind-set and in overcoming the fears and self-limiting beliefs that threaten to hold us back if we fail to control them. In this episode I will share some of the many ways in which such beliefs come-up in my life, and the tactics that I've adopted to manage them and minimise their influence over my life.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on something that I think is a bit of a lost-art in modern life; I call it the art of showing up. I've learned the importance of this through the various roles that I play in my life, as parent, husband, entrepreneur, manager and just as human being working through life and interacting with others. How we conduct ourselves, the way that we act, speak, listen and behave can all be influenced by the way in which we 'show-up' in life. By adopting a few core habits and behaviours that I outline in this episode we all have the opportunity to get more out of life and to give more to life too.

In this episode, I discuss how the principles of Kintsugi can be applied as we navigate times of difficulty and adversity in our working life. Whether we work as an employee, a business owner or an entrepreneur there are numerous challenges that can be encountered as we proceed through day-to-day life. I share some of the challenges I've faced as examples of these, to illustrate the learning process that I've applied. The episode also covers the need to create a business where the focus is upon serving and helping others through solving of meaningful problems as a means of creating a business that is enduring and impactful, and not purely based on selling and making money.

Kintsugi Life: 002 - In this episode I provide further background on how I think the principles of the Japanese art form Kintsugi can be applied in our lives, in this instance in our relationships with others. This covers not just our romantic relationships but also in all other aspects of life, family, friendship and in our work.
