Join me on an insightful journey with Bill Keefe, Fire Team Captain for the Tony Robbins Organisation and Co-General Manager of Namale Resort and Spa. Bill's story is an introspective look at how life can flourish when we take a bold step into the unknown. He shares his experience of relocating his family to the South Pacific, reveals the essence of family unity in decision-making, and offers a glimpse into the power of taking leaps of faith and the rewards that await.

 

Our conversation delves into the mindset of resilience, drawing inspiration from the relentless spirit of the likes of David Goggins and the unique challenges of Tony Robbins' Fire Walk events. Discover how the collective mindset and camaraderie of a team can push you beyond your perceived limits, especially during the most challenging times. Bill and I reflect on the importance of commitment and the role it plays not only in enduring physical and mental fatigue, but also in overcoming adversity - a lesson that applies to all facets of life.

 

Finally, we turn our attention to the principles of calmness and detachment, particularly in high-pressure situations. Using the metaphor of the 'rock in the river', Bill illustrates the importance of maintaining focus in the midst of chaos, and how leaders can benefit from remaining objective in their decisions. Tune in for an engaging discussion that's sure to leave you with a new perspective on life's possibilities.

Today’s snippet comes from my conversation with Dr John Demartini, the world-renowned specialist in human behaviour and featured expert in the film and book "The Secret".

 

The snippet I chose from that conversation is about mastering our emotional state. I asked Dr Demartini how we can improve our ability to be reflective, rather than react to our emotions and perceptions out of unconscious reflexes.

 

I hope his answer is as insightful for you as it was for me!

Dr. John Demartini explains that emotional reactions signal incomplete perceptions. Infatuation and resentment are due to a bias that skews our understanding, causing inauthentic behavior. Emotions serve as feedback to restore balance and encourage full awareness. By acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects of our experiences, we can achieve emotional equilibrium. Reflective awareness, as opposed to reflexive reactions, allows for thoughtful responses and a balanced state of mind. DeMartini emphasizes the importance of recognizing traits we admire or despise in others within ourselves to maintain authenticity and achieve a state of grace and gratitude.

Uncover the transformative secrets of North Star Thinking with business strategist and best-selling author Will Polston. He provides an enlightening discussion on setting ambitious, lifelong goals and how this visionary approach can reshape our daily decisions and overall trajectory in life. His latest book serves as a guide, offering practical steps to identify your core values from life's highs and lows, setting you firmly on the path to a fulfilling and purpose-driven existence.

 

In this episode, we delve into the practical steps of finding purpose through North Star Thinking, discussing how mastery is not a destination but a continuous process tied to a grand life mission. We discuss the art of setting incremental goals, reverse engineering a grand vision into achievable steps, and creating our own purpose. Will shares insights on how identifying our core values from life's highs and lows can guide us toward a life we love, steering us toward our ultimate mission.

 

We conclude the episode by exploring the transformative power of gratitude and spirituality in achieving a balanced, enlightened state of being. We talk about reframing life's difficulties through a lens of appreciation, and we shine a light on spirituality as the thread weaving through our personal and universal tapestries. Will instils the notion that life's synchronicities are subtle hints toward our grand design. By adopting North Star Thinking as a guide, we set our sights on not just doing and having, but being—living in a state of peace and contentment that's within reach for each of us.

Ever wonder what could happen if you simply said yes to life? My guest Kimberly Braun invites us on her journey to discover the transformative power of embracing life's opportunities. Uncover her pivotal childhood experience of deep presence and how it shaped her worldview towards living from divine love. Alongside us, explore the concept that we are all here for a noble purpose, and the magic that happens when we let our love and curiosity for life break us free from our limitations.

 

Life doesn't come with a script, and Kimberly shows us that embracing each moment as a potential lesson can lead us to a deeper understanding of our human experience. The conversation turns to moments of silence and presence, and how these moments can become transformative. Kimberly shares her personal story of building a monastery from a moment of silence, reminding us of the importance of being open to the universe's synchronicities and order.

 

Our journey culminates in an exploration of inner stillness and surrender. Listen as Kimberly recounts her profound realization that she spoke about on her TED Talk and how surrendering to her core desires led to the creation of a permanent monastery. We discuss the challenges that arise after saying yes to a desire, and practices to stay committed, such as drawing close to inspiration and tapping into the infinite field of intelligence. This conversation promises to be an eye-opener on the power of surrender and the magic that unfolds when we stay true to our core desires.
