The Self Mastery Show

In this episode, I recap a conversation I had with a coach and friend, Justin Tsui. He asked me a question that really got me thinking... "what is it that you do that gets you into the zone?" 

And that really got me thinking... so I documented my thoughts on today's episode.

When I began my entrepreneurial journey, I was so encapsulated by the idea that I had to always be "on", always at 100% hustle mode. But the effects of that finally took its toll on me 3 years later. Here's my story and what I learned from that.

In continuation of my chat about gratitude with Lilly, this is part 2. In this episode, we go deep into understanding what role gratitude has played in my life over the last year, as well as how a beginner should approach their practice of gratitude.

In this episode of The Self Mastery Show, David and Lilly talk gratitude... From the definition of gratitude to how one begins practicing gratitude with the goal of developing the habit of being grateful for everything in life.

On this episode of The Self Mastery Show, I sat down my dear friend and mentor, Alvin Pilobello, leadership and professional relationship coach of Toronto.

Alvin shares what it means to have meaningful conversations in todays society of constant distraction. We cover how and why it's important to harness our ability to be present and engage in conversations.  We also share what it’s like to deal with the common expectations we perceive from society and our families. At the end of this episode, I hand the mic over to Alvin to cover what it means to be masculine in 2019 and onwards.

Tune in to this conversation to learn more about Alvin and his unique ability to create salsa dancing metaphors for just about anything!

It came back... the crippling anxiety I dealt with almost a year ago. It made it practically impossible to get work done and had me seeking for anything that would distract me from my responsibilities. However, I was able to manage it and work through it a lot faster and am back to feeling "normal".

Welcome to the first Q&A episode of The Self Mastery Show! In this episode with me I had my girlfriend, Emily, asking the questions and help me facilitate the conversation. We went deep on how we can lead an extraordinary life, the method I use to find mentors, and my top simple habits to help you start living your best life.

One of my biggest discoveries since starting my self mastery journey is the fact that 'knowing' and 'doing' are on two different playing fields. Everyone knows some very smart people who just can't seem to get their life together. While at the same time, we know those who aren't as intelligent but are just killing it at life. The key difference is understanding how just knowing is not the same as doing.

We're good at giving gratitude and expressing it through our actions towards other people. But doing it for ourself, internally, is a different story and can be a scary place. I get it! I've been there... Here's what I've discovered since I started seeking gratitude within myself.

In reflecting back to where I started on my self mastery journey, I realized something I was lacking personally was a "why"... Essentially I didn't have a defined purpose as to why these changes were important for me other than the fact that yes, it would bring positive impact into my life.

But with knowing your "why" comes resilience and accountability... Because your purpose will be the reason you give yourself to keep going with this habit or routine even if it becomes inconvenient for you. Otherwise, you'll be reactionary to whatever pops into your life and end up ditching the habits or routines that you're developing.
