I titled this episode, “If you came here looking for all the answers then you’re looking in the wrong place”.

When we look for answers outside ourselves, we never really get anywhere. Firstly because no one has all the answers or has life all figured out. We are all learning our lessons as we go and we are all here to grow and evolve as human beings, as individuals so looking for answers outside of ourselves is going to lead to a life of struggle.

Secondly, the inner work is the hardest, but it’s the most important. When you look within, you start to find answers to questions that you have pondered, but the conundrum is that you also find more questions and that is the challenge. You don’t know, what you don’t know, but when you start to know something, you start to understand a lot more about what you didn’t know and that is what helps you on your personal journey.

Enjoy the discussion.

Just about everything in your life is a result of your habits. If you want to change your life, change your habits.

If you're not happy with your health, take a look at your exercise and eating habits. If your finances are not where you want them to be, take a look at your spending and saving habits and the habits you have around money. If you want better relationships, investigate your habits around your communication with your loved ones. 

As F.M. Alexander said 

"People do not decide their futures. They decide their habits, and their habits decide their futures."

Habits serve us well as they help us to live more in a state of flow rather than our brains exploding from the mental power required to make 35,000 decisions each day. But they can also hinder us and our ability to reach our peak performance and live a thriving life. 

Listen in to hear some insight into habits and how you can make or break them.

Most people struggle with life, most people suffer. Why? 

Because everything in your life is a sum total of your thoughts and beliefs about life. But if you been taught that life will be a struggle or you've witnessed your parents or your friends, or your close contacts struggle, then every experience you have will be framed within this thinking. 

Our reality is shaped by our circumstances and experience of our life and many people are trapped within a box that they can't get out of. Not because they can't get out, but because they don't even know that they're in the box because they can't see outside the walls of the box that they're in.

The nature of suffering or struggling in life is really that life is full of challenges, most of which we don't have any control over... but realising this is a source of strength because when we realise that most things are out of our control, you can focus on how you respond to those things. Because we always have a choice! 

The real struggle or suffering in life, is not the event itself but how we react to it that causes our suffering...

Listen to hear more about why we struggle, what causes it, and how you can stop the struggle, immediately...

Takeaway for this episode...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE

Effortless Execution

“To me ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just the multiplier, execution is worth millions.”. - Steve Jobs

If you want transformation in your life, then you have to execute, you have to move from head knowledge to actually implementing the ideas that you've learned because if you don’t execute then nothing happens and your life will not change, and you will not be any better than you were yesterday.

Most people are trying to do more with what they have, being busy all the time, but struggling to achieve their goals and plans. Effortless execution teaches you to get into flow, to master your energy and invest your time so you can have the impact you want to have.

Takeaways from this episode:

Master your time and master your energy and you will find the key to executing effortlessly.

Episode 3 - What is Mental Mastery? 

If you haven’t listened to Episode No. 1 please go back to episode 1 to get more of an idea and understanding of what this podcast is about and why I wanted to release this podcast.

Today’s episode is titled  What is Mental Mastery?

In this episode, I discuss what mental mastery means and how it’s important.

“Mental Mastery empowers us with insight into the unconscious patterns that silently drive our behaviors and outcomes in life”.

Your inner state of mind is the main influencing factor on why you do what you do,  how you live your life and what you achieve.

Marcus Aurelius said “Our life is what our thoughts make it” and also, “The quality of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts”. 

And this is so true… think about it… really think about it… Let that settle in… percolate a bit...

Mental Mastery is a reference for improving the mental aspects of performance.

It helps with managing anxiety, attitude, beliefs, confidence, concentration, emotional control, mental toughness, focus, motivation, optimism, resilience…. the list goes on.

The mind, without direction and vision, cannot support us to create a new experience beyond what we have already known. 

When we become aware of our mental patterns and learn to direct our thoughts to places that serve us and our vision for the future, we begin to step out of the past and into new possibilities, which we create for ourselves. 

When you are able to master your inner world you will have increased mental clarity and focus, a sense of empowerment to define and create your experience, new energy and passion for life and you can drop the mental baggage that you carry around with you each and every day.

It’s this mental baggage that is making you suffer. Because, if you think too much…. especially negatively… you make yourself heavy… and when you are heavy… you cannot fly…

Takeaways from this episode:

MASTER YOUR MIND AND YOU MASTER YOUR WORLD

Today’s episode is titled  What Does It Mean to Live Life by Design?

In this episode, I discuss what it means to be intentional about your life and how designing your life is the first step in creating an amazing future.

Just like you wouldn’t build a house without a design and plans, why leave your life up to chance or worse still, letting someone else design your life?

Takeaways from this episode.

You have the choice to live your life by design rather than by default.

In this episode, I share a story of how I came to release this podcast, my observations around men in today’s society, and how through breaking old models of reality and social conditioning, we can build a new type of man. The conscious man has inner strength, confidence, and courage to lead his life with purpose, creativity, integrity, and love. This creates better leaders, better fathers, better communities, and a better society for all.
