"Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew." - Cicely Tyson

Today's episode is the third part of a series of podcasts that revolves around the theme of where you are, not who you are. The first two sequences were aired about two to three weeks ago and there are still more to follow.

This time I am going to openly talk about my journey to rediscovering and gaining a stronger understanding of who I truly am. I will also tell the story I am currently creating and the difficulties I encountered along the way.

Join me as I unfold my raw authentic self to give you insights and help you realise that where you are is not who you are. There is more to you.

The journey within is not the easiest, but Dr. Ray Sylvester and I are here to support you wherever you are, whoever you are. Reach out to us.

You, too, can evolve to be a better version of yourself amidst the challenges you are facing.

You are amazingly awesome.

Highlights:

⚡️ Dealing with grief is not straightforward.

⚡️ Life is easier when you have people who genuinely care for you.

⚡️ Being a good person is a practice.

⚡️ The journey to becoming your future self is so much easier when you know who you already are.

⚡️ As humans, we have an opportunity to make a difference in other people's lives.

Important stories:

🎯 4:54 Dealing with grief.

🎯 6:45 My evolution and onliness.

🎯 10:01 Stopping to think who I truly am.

🎯 13:21 Our commonality as human beings.

🎯 15:15 A renewed awareness of future self.

🎯 23:34 Having a deeper sense of who I am and sharing my values.

"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." - Maya Angelou

Today's episode is unique as this is the second part of a series. The initial post came out two weeks ago. You can go back to it by clicking the link.

↪️ PART 1

This is one of the most significant topics I have discussed. The themed podcast is an organic conversation between Dr. Ray Sylvester and I on where you are and how your path shapes who you are.

We cannot ignore where we are, therefore, we all need to pause to reflect on it and, more importantly, on who we are, because circumstances must not define us. They are only part of us.

Where we are is only temporary. There is more to us than what we have been through. We can create better things with what we have. We can overcome our challenging situations to reveal more about ourselves.

I invite everyone to listen. We are here for you.

We want to be part of your journey.

Highlights:

⚡️ Getting power from where we are limits us.

⚡️ We have peace when we are authentic and do things that are natural to us.

⚡️ Fulfillment is a balance between knowing and accepting self as well as others.

⚡️ Relationships are about value exchange between people.

⚡️ Fortune does not guarantee happiness.

⚡️ Having a deep sense of who we are allows us to navigate through the challenges in life and serve others better.

Important stories:

🎯 4:15 Who we are and what we are doing.

🎯 7:05 The meaning of "It's not where you are. It's who you are".

🎯 13:50 Establishing a connection with other people.

🎯 16:46 Dr. Ray Sylvester's faith.

🎯 23:12 Fulfillment in relation to your identity.

🎯 27:05 Connecting where you are with who you are.

🎯 35:35. The optimism that comes from knowing who you are.

"Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come." - Dwayne Johnson

Have you been struggling with life's challenges? Do you feel like things will not improve?

Do not lose hope. You can live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Tune in and discover how. Dr. Ray Sylvester and I will dive into the power that lies within us. Our ability to be consistent in the way we deliver and want to show up in the world is key.

Consistency in our internal and external states leads to our betterment. Many people who have succeeded externally first achieved it internally. Inward success comes from being consistent with how we see ourselves and taking time for ourselves.

Think about what would happen if we became more consistent and intentional in certain areas and activities of our lives. Would it not make the greatest changes we have been dreaming of?

The world could be better.

We can all coexist harmoniously.

Highlights:

⚡️ Consistency is being mindful of the situation, self, others, and the interaction between the two.

⚡️ Consistently and intentionally pausing is important for anyone who struggles with being busy.

⚡️ Stillness brings calmness.

⚡️ Visualization is a powerful opportunity to explore the what-ifs.

⚡️ We become more consistent when we are intentional.

Important stories:

🎯 3:42 What consistency is.

🎯 6:30 Certainty from consistency.

🎯 10:09 Being mindfully consistent.

🎯 11:14 Consistency in stillness, authenticity, and co-existence.

🎯 18:30 Persistent reflection, meditation, visualization, and prayer.

🎯 23:54 Consistently responding rather than reacting.

🎯 28:14 Being consistent in the internal and external states.

"Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end." - Roy Bennett

Are you facing the greatest challenge of your life right now? Have you succumbed to it thinking there is no way of surpassing its overwhelming gravity?

Adversity is part of life. It makes us grow stronger and helps us become better human beings. We should not allow ourselves to be defeated by it.

The power to survive and evolve resides within you.

"Keep your mind open to change all the time. Welcome it. Court it. It is only by examining and reexamining your opinions and ideas that you can progress" - Dale Carnegie

It is the start of a new season. This is our 501st episode.

Dr. Ray Sylvester and I encourage you to join us as we continue with our weekly deep philosophical conversations to give you insights as well as opportunities to do things differently and overcome life's challenges.

Today we are going to delve further into the concept of being open to everything attached to nothing. This is another important idea that can make our lives better.

Although change is constant and inevitable, most of us are still quite not receptive to it. We fear the uncertainties it brings and when this happens, we limit ourselves to remain in the state we are currently in.

We lose the opportunities to discover new things or form new relationships. We fail to live happier. The good thing is there is a way around this.

Listen in and find out how life can be more fulfilling.

Highlights:

⚡️ Stopping creates momentum for change.

⚡️ It is important to be open to everything attached to nothing within the context of your own moral compass.

⚡️ Meanings and associations are the roots of branding.

⚡️ It is easier to change and adapt when we have a clear sense of who we are and the value we bring to the world.

⚡️ Open to everything attached to nothing is a choice and a decision.

Important stories:

🎯 2:49 What Dr. Ray Sylvester and I are doing.

🎯 8:08 Why most people are not receptive to change.

🎯 10:16 Open to everything attached to nothing explained.

🎯 14:53 The choice and decision to be open to everything.

🎯 20:17 Taking new ideas for a test drive.

🎯 28:45 Branding in relation to being open to everything.

"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step towards achieving something bigger and better than your current situation." - Brian Tracy

Have you joined our gratitude challenge? Have you stopped today and intentionally spent time thinking about what you are thankful for?

Gratitude is a decision. It is consciously deciding to deliberately focus on the things we are grateful for. One of the most compassionate things we can do is to appreciate who we are.

Being grateful has numerous benefits, but it is sometimes a difficult attitude to develop because, as humans, it is very easy for us to be hard on ourselves. We often dwell on our regrets, mistakes, and the feeling of not being good enough.

That is why Dr. Ray Sylvester and I encourage you to listen to today's episode as we further delve into the topic of gratitude. We want to give you different perspectives to help you make up your mind and act better.

You always have an opportunity to move on and improve.

Live a happier life.

Highlights:

⚡️ Stopping allows you to connect to your own truth and to a realm that goes beyond the physical.

⚡️ Cultivating a spirit of knowledge about who you are and being grateful for it makes you happy and more content.

⚡️ People who do not dwell on regrets live longer and move forward when they make a mistake, or something goes wrong.

🔥 How to cultivate the attitude of gratitude:

• Stop, and decide to find time to be grateful.
• Know your value as well as where and who you are.
• Be grateful for who you were.
• Take ownership and accept things that have happened.
• Move on from regrets and mistakes.
• Be present.
• Do not judge.
• Serve others.
• Focus on being thankful for the potential that would offer something that is not currently in your life.
• Be grateful for the ability to give and the feelings that come when you cooperate.
• Realize there is always an opportunity to restore, create, and build.
• Be a grace grower.

🎯 6:35 Gratitude is a decision.

Today, I will be interviewing a person who has faced and managed fear to be who he truly is. He has not only made impactful changes but has become a top voice, and an ally to the LGBTQ community and other minoritized groups as well.

He is Martin Stark, the famed inclusion activist and practitioner, CEO of the World Gay Boxing Championships. He organized the world's first LGBTQIA+ boxing competition.

Be inspired. Be liberated. Resonate with and learn more from him. Find out why he is called the Champion of Courage by listening to this episode.

You can get in touch with him through his website martinstark.co, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

There is nothing more powerful in life than being who you truly are.

You too can be a champion. 🏆
