Mindful Growth with Troy Harris

In the ever-evolving tapestry of my spiritual journey, I’m elated to share a profound shift towards pantheism as my chosen belief system. Embracing the idea that the divine is inherent in all of existence, I’ve found a deep sense of connection to the universe and the interconnectedness of every living thing. This transformative path has opened my eyes to the sacred beauty within nature, the cosmos, and the very essence of life itself. In my latest blog post, I delve into the personal revelations and moments of awe that guided me toward pantheism, exploring the harmony I’ve discovered in recognizing the divine in every breath, every leaf, and every star. Join me in this exploration of spiritual growth and connection. 🌌🌿 #PantheismJourney #SpiritualAwakening #ConnectedUniverse

What’s going on, world, it’s Troy Harris, and I’m coming to you on a solo tip today. I just had it on my mind that I needed to talk to you about something very important to me. In fact, you could consider it the basis of all of this logic that I’m putting out there through efforts such as my book Efficiency and the website Troyharris.com, my mindset, my outlook on life, the supply chain perspective, it’s all based on the concept, which I didn’t discover initially until actually going through the process of writing. I was misnaming it as universalism. I was thinking, okay, what is it when the universe is so all encompassing and all interconnected?

Well, it’s got to be universalism. But then I took it a step further and thought, this all encompassing universe is God, all of it together. And that’s where this is going to let you know that this podcast is getting into some deep topics. And if that’s something that upsets you, then feel free to skip along to the next episode. But this is important because what you place the biggest importance on is how you live your life.

And if you are seeing some patterns that make you wonder what you could change, perhaps this is the route that you could help yourself with, by adopting and with this mindset that everything everywhere together is what I consider to be God is called something different than universalism. In fact, it’s called pantheism. Pantheism is that it’s all God. Now, it’s not even entirely religious because it is also considered what they call when you think of ideas and people like Socrates philosophy, it borders on both of these because it’s everything. It’s an idea, it’s a theory, but it’s also talking about God, which is religious.

And so to me, what that looks like in real life is that you help God by blessing those in the universe. And you bless it through being good, showing love, being just, and being one with the community. And that’s on the outside and the inside. And that’s where you’re able to do what’s right and be one with the universe, with God. And that’s why when you do good things, sometimes good things come back to you, sometimes they don’t.

But you can rest assured you can lose any feelings of negativity or grief to a large degree, because you are able to say, hey, eventually, as long as I know I’m doing what’s right, then I got nothing to worry about. My blessings are to come. And this all comes from really my belief. And you see it exhibited and expressed in some efforts such as the weekends album where Jim Carrey is dropping knowledge on the interludes. This is a pure representation of what I’m discussing here.

They don’t put it in the term pantheism, but there’s only this one life. You only have one life. And so when I was growing up and this is somewhat of a surprise to my family because I come from a somewh...

Hello, everybody, and welcome to Troy Harris, where we discuss the never ending benefits of a strong body and steady mind in the context of love, justice, and community. I’m Troy Harris, and I’m very excited to let you know that this is a wonderful day. This is the first day where I get to take you through the rest of my apartment, where I’m going to do an activity that I like to do in the morning, which I’m sure you do, too, which is have breakfast. Come along, let’s check it out.

Having breakfast is very important because what that does is give you fuel for the rest of the day. When you’re able to have that fuel, there’s no limit. You need to use that fuel, because what it is is it’s a representation of the flow of energy, how nothing is ever created, but it’s just passed on and received. So you want to be able to have that energy flow to you, and then you can use it to do whatever you want. And for us, we’re going to do things that are positive.

Now, as you can see, my kitchen is ready for me to create, and I’m going to go in here and grab my favorite breakfast potatoes.

First thing I do is I loosen up the potatoes. The kind I like best are potatoes. O’Brien.

All right. As we can see, this is the end of the bag, so somebody’s got to go grocery shopping. Now, my skillet is nice and clean. I’m going to warm it up, and I’m going to use this wooden spoon so I can break up any frozen pieces. If they don’t break up all the way, that’s okay, because as it heats up, it’ll loosen up and let that sit there for a while.

Now, for me, when my breakfast is cooking, one of the things that I like to do is get nice and loose so I could be stretched out and ready for the day. So I stand here in my living room and I twist like this, moving my arms side to side. And then I start going through. My stretching routine starts with arm circles. Get those arm circles going.

And then I start to stretch my right arm across my body towards the left. Then I stretch my left arm across the body towards the right. Then I reach over top, grab that elbow over my head on the right arm, like so, and then do the same thing with the left arm, like so.

That gets the shoulders nice and loose. It’s early in the morning, so I got to be loose because I have a whole day ahead of me. And then I reach down in pike position, touch my toes, stretch out those hamstrings. They get so tight overnight because all day, all your life, you’re running. You’re using those legs as the base.

So they take a lot of the brunt of the force because there’s some weight above it.

This is all true. Regardless of how slim or strong or large you might be, these are insignificant factors. If you got a stand, then you got some weight that your legs need to support, and therefore, you need to loosen them up. All right,

Very delighted to share my very excellent interview with my brother Ben! Be the first to hear this new interview on the podcast, Troy Harris.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to a brand new episode of Troy Harris. And guess who it is. Troy Harris. Today we have a very special podcast. I’m here with my friend and brother. His name is Ben Harris. We’re gonna talk to him. I’m gonna let him know about what happened today, where I was just walking along, walking through my neighborhood, and then all of a sudden, I hear this music, and then I’m like, okay, that sounds good. I go check in, and I see a bunch of ladies on the stage. I say, what’s going on? And they give me a ticket. They say, there’s a show happening today. And so I stand in line and I get to see this amazing show of dancing, ladies, a wonderful group. And so I just want to let you know that sometimes when you’re in the moment, you just go with what calls you, because that’s what it is to live intentionally. You just go with what calls you. And that’s what we’re going to talk about today is intentionality. How to have a strong body, steady mind, and what that means for living intentionally. Right here with our special guest.

And with no further ado, here he is. What’s going on, Ben?

What’s up, brother? So happy to be on. So proud of you. Yeah, thanks for the nice intro. So, yeah, that’s so cool. I hit you up this morning. Like, hey, will you be, like, free this afternoon? You’re like, yeah, I’m exploring today. First of all. I’m, like, exploring. That’s cool. What does that mean? And then I just stumbled into this recital, so I’m going to watch this for the next few hours. I’m like, okay, I can’t wait to hear about it. And honestly, I didn’t even know about till you just explained it. So that sounds pretty cool.

Yeah, you know how it is. We’re out here just talking. We’re just talking amongst. You know, it’s best to hear about these things the first time around. So you just got to hear it fresh, live on the air. And I’m glad that you did.

Yeah. Shout out, dad. By the way, I always talk about that Kenny, parachutes and the king of small talk. Our whole life coming up, he’d just be talking and doing his thing with everybody, so it trickled down onto us. So you got to use that.

Yeah. You can’t be afraid to improvise. And that’s what it is. You don’t know what it is, what you’re going to be talking about. And, like, this show has no script. No script. Not to say every episode will have no script because there is a time and a place for structure, but you got to be confident. And that’s what it comes down to, is confidence. So when it comes to that, I know you just mentioned one source, but where. Because you got a lot of things going on where you need confidence. So where do you get yours from?

Yeah, definitely, dad. You definitely being confident out there on the field and with the music and every time I visit, you’re just focused and doing your thing. And I really like that. My mom and everyone being successful in our whole family, but also just getting on that stage and getting into this character where you just know you’re the best and there’s a reason you’re there. You’re the one that’s chosen to be there. So once you lock into that, it’s not like an ego or cocky thing. It’s like, I got to do this like in a superhero in the movie or the quarterback in the game. You need to be confident. You’re not going to feel like you’re talking about yourself, but you need to be like,

It was a great experience having my very own father as my first guest on my podcast. Listen as he provides wisdom in a fun way!

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to a brand new episode of Troy Harris with me, your host, Troy Harris. And we’re gonna talk about this podcast because, boy, do I have a show ready for you. We have a special guest, none other than my father, Kenny Harris. And we’re gonna have this be the very first interview where we have somebody from outside of the studio coming to you where you can get a glimpse of what they have to offer through this podcast, which is again called Troy Harris. Without further ado, let’s take a call from our guest. Hey, what’s going on?

How are you, Troy? It’s your daddy from Phoenix, Arizona.

I’m doing so good, so great. So glad to have you on the show here, dad.

Glad to be here on your special, innovative show.

Why, thank you. Yes, I do find that it’s quite innovative. It’s finding the ways to bring the technology here from just an ordinary person with access to a few tools to broadcast with what seems like high level technology to the whole world. What do you think about this whole transformation where technology is enabling everyday people to have a broadcast like you would never imagine?

Well, it definitely is something that is new in the sense that more people should be inspired and maybe they can do it, too, when they see that here you are creating it on your own. You don’t have a script to it. You didn’t have to be a certain level of employee or supervisor or president or anything. You just say, hey, this is something I have put together in my mind and I’m going to apply it using simple tools and apparatuses.

Yes. And so with that, it comes the need to have a storyline like a basis. So I’ve made mine mindfulness. And with that, what’s your take on the mind and body and how you can have a show that is for entertainment for certain purposes, but also has a message? What do you think about when you hear that being the case for this show?

Well, I think connectivity, mind, body, soul, and each individual would have probably a different platform to explain and share what it means to them. I think that more often than not, we try to keep our bodies and minds in good shape and keep our souls connected to either a higher being or connected to strong beliefs that we have which are different person to person.

Very good. So you and me having this history where you brought me in this world, so you know where I’ve gone in my journey. How do you feel? What’s your perspective on me launching a mindfulness business and mindfulness podcast and hoping to help make people’s lives a better place? Something better for them?

Well, I think it’s very positive and useful. It reminds me the greater Good Science center at the University of Cal Berkeley, where my real estate development partner sort of created this. And it’s just really grown. And so they got newsletters and they teach all over the world. Well, when it started, it just started with an idea in his mind, the greater good. And then I think maybe you’re onto something like that, something similar.

Yes, it is. And that comes back to the connectivity, where we all want to do good in our own lives, but when we think about the greater good, it’s not just about ourselves. And so I know that you’ve done a lot as far as volunteering and reaching out to the community throughout your vast experiences. You have a long track record of doing that.

In this episode I dedicate the recording to my good friend Chris Hummer in hopes that he recovers well.

Hey, what’s up everyone? It’s Troy Harris here with another episode of Troy Harris. It’s your eponymous podcast because it’s named after me, Troy Harris. And what I want to do is let you know that this episode is dedicated to my dear friend, Chris Hummer. If you read my first book, I Feel Good About Me. One of the characters in that book was made after my friend Chris Hummer. He lives down the street. And so, Chris, I’ve been practicing this song in German and it reminds me of you. And here it goes 

Du bist wie eine Blume,

So hold und schön und rein;

Ich schau’ dich an, und Wehmut

Schleicht mir ins Herz hinein.

Mir ist, als ob ich die Hände

Aufs Haupt dir legen sollt’,

Betend, dass Gott dich erhalte

So rein und schön und hold.

By Heinrich Heine 

Composed by Robert Schumann

Yeah, man, just thinking about you. Hope you’re doing well. Hope you’re on the mend. And I’ll be seeing you soon. So, everyone, I want you to know that you can practice and you can get better at whatever you’d like. Whether it’s singing, whether it’s dancing, whether it’s presenting yourself on a podcast. The choice is yours. Just pick it and do it. All right. Speaking of things that you can pick and do, here’s the book that I was talking about last time that I wrote. It’s called efficiency. And as a mental mindfulness coach, I want you to know that the supply chain perspective can get you to where you want to be in life. It all starts with a strong body and a steady mind. And once you get those two things going and you find the mind body in that, you can find your spirituality and bring those things together to get you towards your goals. The way that it works in this book is it starts with what comes into you.

Just like a supply chain starts with the suppliers. How it comes into the business, the things that come into you are your values. So out of everything that you consume, whether it’s the food, whether it’s the knowledge, whether it’s things that got you to who you are, your mom and your dad, those things have within them these values love, justice and community. And it’s up to you to find those and harness that towards your own benefit and shifting your mind to where you can lead with those things. And it’s up to you how you want to decide whether you’re more aggressive, more passive, more empathetic, more self focused. It’s really up to you where you decide to take it in your own journey. But remember that at the core, in the center, it’s always love, always justice, and always community. So from there, it’s about your internal logistics. And this is all described in the chapters that’s laid out in this fashion. The secondary portion is internal logistics. And when you get to the internal logistics, what you’re going to do is you’re going to think about how am I governed in this world?

I’m governed by time and space. Those are the dimensions. I’m governed by the actions, whether it’s consuming, exploding, how I spend my energy and exhausting how I let it out, whether it’s those things, whether it’s the seven steps to success, how I look at success and failure and grow from them, and how I manage my just desserts. When I do good things, good things come back to me. When I do bad, I get the consequences.

Troy Harris is getting off to a hot start with this first audio podcast, also available in video!

What’s up everybody? Welcome to a new episode of Troy Harris. This is a brand new podcast, and you’re going to see the progression of where we go. I’m coming completely ad lib in this episode. What we’re going to do is show you how we start and see the progress as we go, week by week, month by month, year by year. On how we grow. Because it doesn’t have to be perfect. It just have to get started. You know, it’s all about the progress. It’s not really about perfection. As you can see. We’ve got wires, we got things on the wall and things are going to get better over time. And you know, what we’re really focused on is the message, because it’s all about the message. Yes, fashion over function and all these things are important. You want to be able to deliver a message by looking good. And believe me, I’ll be the first to admit that that is important to you. Got to deliver a great message.My name wouldn’t be Troy if I didn’t understood the importance of delivering a message in a way that can be received, just like the Trojan Horse. But what is important as well is the substance. What is beneath, what is below? What have you worked on? What is going to get better? And with that is the attitude that it will always get better as long as you try. What we’re going to do is tell you about Troy Harris. If you search on podcast for Troy Harris, you’re going to get this. You’re going to get the Troy Harris Podcast. It’s a variety of video. We got the audio podcast coming your way. It’s going to be in all these different formats. And it’s about that growth that I just mentioned. It’s about having the ability to see the momentum and to see that your mental attitude, your mental fortitude is what takes you to the top of the mountain, whatever your goals might be. It’s a combination of your body strength and your mind strength, and being able to take that combination out to the outside world and give back, give back to the outside world, because that’s what’s going to give you that true feeling of fulfillment and make you feel content as you go through the ups and downs in life.So let me just tell you about how this came to be. I just wrote a book is called Efficiency and what it is, is it’s a self-help book, using the perspective that I learned through the 13 years of working at UPS. Note that these opinions shared in this podcast are mine, and mine alone don’t represent anybody else but me. It’s the supply chain perspective that I learned throughout the years. To say what you do matters holistically. Every part of one thing has an effect on other things, in every other thing that takes place in your world. So you have to be cognizant of those things and start doing the things that gravitate you towards your goal. And if you do that, then you’re going to be more good than bad. You’re going to be more what you want to be like then what you don’t want to be like. And even though there’s things that you like, you got to put them aside so that you can reach the long term goal that you also want to be like as well.These are all things that we have to keep in mind while enjoying life along the way, and absolutely enjoying life along the way and allowing yourself some forgiveness because that’s what it takes to progress and not get down on yourself when times get hard. So we did. I did write this, this, this book, and the book is out there and I’m letting people know about it. And at the same time I said, I want to do more. And that’s what my my post yesterday I wrote a blog post on TroyHarris.Com yesterday about just simply wanting to do more and having the ability to do more through the tools...
