This Human Life

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul (as the founder of World Game-Changers) asks the question: What Does It take To Become A World Game-Changer?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A world game-changer devotes themselves to a higher purpose, to impact the world and the lives of other for the better.
• They come from ever walk or life, every nation, ever life circumstance representing diverse experiences with love being the common factor. 
• A world game-changer develops their talents and skills and pursues opportunities to increase their own influence for the greater good.
• Vulnerability is massive in our world as humans and individuals. I’m not so sure that collectively we give it the respect that it deserves in terms of the part that it plays in our lives with regard to progress. Being prepared to be vulnerable and putting it out there first and taking control of the situation takes the power away from people who would want to exploit your vulnerability against you.

BEST MOMENTS
‘World Game-Changers intentionally work to improve their end circumstances and the people with who they are associated.’
‘In a world without love what have we got? Simply, an existence. A world without love is, for me, not really a world at all.’
‘We prefer to wear a mask of control and self-protection because we don’t want people to get close to us and judge us. Be prepared to look at yourself in the mirror.’

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Raksha Daryanani to continue their conversation about how storytelling can help us overcome fear.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I grew up being told I was an extrovert but, as I grew older, I realized that’s not true because when I’m around people all the time I get exhausted.
• Introverts and extroverts can both be great public speakers, it all comes down to what energizes you and how much time you need to decompress.
• We don’t decompress, rest, take time for ourselves enough, and that’s becoming increasingly important in the digital age that we live in because more of us are working from home. The brain is not getting rest.
• Some communities are more open, engaging, supportive when you are your true self, but others shy away from that and are more closed or reserved. It’s good to assess what a culture is like and whether you can fit in and be yourself, if not are you OK with that? It can be quite hard to mask who you are every day.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I would like to inject more fun, I often thing I’m a bit serious in my writing, I think starting off on a lighten note engages the reader in your story. It’s a real art to make someone laugh with your writing'.

‘If we someone else opening up we soften. These moments where we are our true, whole selves and not putting up any façade are precious and relatable'.

‘There’s no way you can guarantee that a person wrote something in a certain tone if you’re just reading written text'.

‘When you hear someone tell you something remember there’s another side to it if there’s someone else involved. Don’t make up your mind too fast'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Keith Amoss to talk about mentally turning the clock back, and finding childlike curiosity, energy and everything that comes with being a young person; whilst amalgamating it with the wisdom of a senior.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Old tyres with no tread left get mashed up and turned into material for children’s playparks. This is a fabulous concept; taking something that’s good and bad (like our childhood experiences), taking the good bits and see how you can use them now as an adult, what have you learned?
• A while back I met some old school friends after many years, sharing jokes and stories on Facebook. We decided to meet up in Canada. One guy used to be the cool guy who everyone looked up to and idolised, another was into motorcycling and was a bit of greaser, and I was a bit middle-of-the-road listening to David Bowie and being abstract. When we got together we didn’t stop talking and were at ease in each other’s company and we managed to think of a few incidences from our school days and our perspectives were different, especially about each other. Perhaps we should ask people we’ve known over the years “what did you think/make of me?”, but that’s a very difficult question to ask people.
• Relatively speaking, the type of person that you were as a younger person/teenager, whether that’s generous, kind, giving, supportive, friendly, it’s still there throughout your life. Where you see examples of that is when you see people with genuinely childlike qualities in the way they act as an adult. Humour is classic case. You can recycle yourself, but you need to know that things that you need to drop from your teenage years, the things that cause you pain, the things that you need to overcome, the self-work you need to do, and take the good bits.
• How do we prevent ourselves from wallowing in the past? There is a risk that you look back and see them as the good old days when you were confident and you had everything going for you, you were happy and had so much to offer. It’s both quite complicated but also extremely simple to live in the moment. You also need to be spending about 20% of your time living in the future though, because you need to pay the bills, plan and book trips, etc. However, you’re doing all that stuff today.

BEST MOMENTS
‘We’re all tarins going through other peoples’ stations; we go through, we stop for a while, they see a little bit of us, and then we move on'.

‘It’s not what you say, it’s what you make someone feel that counts'.

‘The concept of the recycled teenager in essence is about recalling the past and having the memory, but without having particularly the negative emotion that was associated with things that went on'.

‘We make assumptions that people, when they’re older, have got it, they understand it, they know what’s going on, they don’t get nervous, they’ve got their act together. Talking to  my father who’s in his 80s you realise that even though you’ve been through a lot of life you still don’t understand how things work, you’re still uncertain, you can still have all those emotions of nervousness, uncertainty and fear'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Richard Gerver to talk about their relationships with school & education, and how that’s changed over the years.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When I look back to my education, and when people remind me of my first career as a teacher and  headteacher, when I left school at 18 I never wanted to go back into school ever again in my entire life, ever. I felt like a misfit. Arguably I was very privileged, my parents and my grandparents sold their homes and sacrificed everything to send me to a private school because it was their dream to provide me with the very best education they could. This added a considerable amount of pressure on me, especially as an older teenager, because I knew what they’d sacrificed, so how could I tell them that I hated it?
• When I chose to become a teacher later – for the love of a young woman – in my very early 20s, that was when I first began to process my own experience more objectively. Rather than taking my reflex judgement of hating it in the moment and it made me a worse person for whatever reason, I was able to start to understand and unpick the learning I’d taken from that experience without even knowing it and reflected on, despite everything I felt at the time, how lucky I was to have been in that environment.
• One of the things that we should become more and more aware of as we go through life, which I think is really pertinent in the divided and angry world we live in right now where people’s beliefs are shaped by their own lived experience and context, the wiser among us realize that actually to grow, evolve, learn, develop, find peace with the world, your world and the world around you, you have to be open minded enough to realize and respect that you need to be active in shaping, challenging and developing your beliefs. It’s only by broadening your own horizons, contexts and experiences that your beliefs become increasingly rounded.
• So many conflicts, from the smallest to the most horrific, people become increasingly deaf to other opinions, values, other people’s experiences and almost do so just to protect their own viewpoint. Partly that’s been amplified by the fact we’re now living in a digital world where social media through algorithm and the way we build walls around our own content means that we tend to live in increasingly siloed environments. We’re living in a world of what I call curated ignorance and I think it creates a dangerous environment, especially for our younger folk, where they can’t see why they would ever look outside of their own belief system because of the confirmation biases that are constantly circulating and fired at them. Then what happens is when they have a like-minded cabal around them, it’s very easy for sophisticated manipulators in that cabal to say: “Anybody who disagrees with you is bad, evil, has your worst interests at heart. I think that’s happened throughout history, but it’s more pronounced and more dangerous now because of the digital space which preoccupies so much of our lives.

BEST MOMENTS
‘As a child, I was immensely creative. I was a writer, an actor, and artist; I went to an all-boys school that was highly academic, highly sports focused – particularly rugby’.

‘There’s no such thing as a bad experience if you process it in the right way, and learn from it'.

‘Beliefs can only ever be shaped by your lived experience'.

‘We talk a lot about the wisdom of elders; every time an old person dies a library burns down'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Wayne Donnelly for a third and final episode of this mini-series to talk about how powerful the mind is, and how you can use it to change your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We’re brought up in a certain paradigms, if I was born anywhere other than Australia I’d have different realities. The life we’re living now we think it’s reality, the perceptions and belief systems we have, but at some times in life we’re hit with something which makes us question our current reality. We then shift into a different reality, we wake up and go into a different dream as we go through different things in life. If we’re fortunate we have things that wake us up so we can advance or progress our life.
• I commuted hours each way during the week and when I had my kids I wouldn’t see them unless it was the middle of the night and they were having their feed or at the weekends. Is that life? Is that how life’s supposed to be? To go to work and pay the bills? When you question it you come into a new reality where I started my own business as an accountant. Different things have occurred since then that have seen my become a hypnotherapist, a coach, and someone who changes lives because of the things I been through, experienced and learned.
• Awareness precedes a change in behaviour, but is that awareness internal or external? You might wake up one morning and ask: “Is this all there is?” and then you start looking for the answers and you can use your conscious mind to make changes in your unconscious, because you’re deliberately doing it from awareness and experiences. Or, you could have something that changes your life that redirects you and you can grow and facilitate changes consciously.
• Some people would say that we are an expression of Source/Universe/God experiencing this reality so that the intangible can have a tangible experience. Is everything one and we’re part of an incredibly limitless One? We’re everything in our own body and yet we’re all one. It’s the type of question that could open an awareness and awakening to there is more than just this body; if I lose a finger or a leg I’m still Wayne, but who is Wayne? 

BEST MOMENTS
‘The life we live is like a dream, and then we wake up and change and go to a different dream'.

‘The difference between a rut and a grave is the depth'.

‘We’re not a drop in the ocean, we’re the ocean in a drop'.

‘By tapping into our own consciousness or the universal consciousness we can create the reality that we’d like to have'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Kristin Johnson to continue their conversation about the TV series Poldark and its storylines, specifically in this episode: Trust in romantic relationships. This conversation may contain spoilers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It’s romantic in the sense that there’s this rugged individualism yet there’s a big community with a big sense of duty and responsibility and self-sacrifice that is very romantic and heroic. But it’s also about the beauty, the nature, the longing of the spirit and a longing for refinement. As with certain aspects of today, it boils over into class envy with the haves, and have-nots.
• Having never experienced this personally, psychologists say that you can heal from trust being broken by an affair but it takes a long time and some people maybe never really forget or are able to forgive at all, but it does happen.
• Elizabeth loves Francis, Ross’ cousin, but at the same time it’s not what she feels for Ross and never can be because it’s a different kind of love. She builds a home and a family with Francis and when he dies it’s like something snaps within Ross, which isn’t grief over Francis – although he is sad – it’s more like his chance is here and he loses his head and totally forgets Demelza who knows where he’s going. Even the bluntest of us can really have a hard time expressing what’s going on.
• You have to trust yourself and that you’re doing the right things at the right time for the right reasons, even if they might not make sense and even if things are hard. Especially you have to trust that your cause is just. Ross knows that what he’s doing against the French is the right thing, he’s fighting for his country and its interests like he always has.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Ross Poldark is a very romantic hero because he’s taking up such a big cause for his community’.

‘Demelza has a big heart and Elizabeth understands that, I think Demelza comes to like and respect Elizabeth but at the same time she’s always going to wonder “am I first in Ross’ mind”, and that betrayal stings because Elizabeth is the love of Ross’ life and she came first'.

‘Men crave sex and women crave love (I think that’s an over-generalization, but there is some truth it that)'.

‘Poldark is more than just a wonderful period drama with wonderful costumes… it’s about the human heart in conflict with itself, that’s why it’s lasting'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by first-time guest a freelance creative story-teller, Raksha Daryanani, to talk about how storytelling can help us to overcome fear, specifically the growing fear of AI.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• At university I was told that I had a flair for writing, so I started experimenting and went from writing admissions essays to CVs to recommendation letters, basic communications that anyone would need help with. Then, when the pandemic struck, I started writing on LinkedIn, sharing stories of working in HR about miscommunication, biases, the moments I didn’t feel adept at what I was doing, as well as personal stories of how I overcame challenges as a professional, as a human being, as a person of colour. It was great to see the traction of my personal stories where I’d learned something and could share it with someone else who may have a shared experience or learned something from it.
• Most behaviour stems from unresolved traumas, unhealed moments in our lives which we then project on to other people. But, the more we are aware, the more we grow, the more we understand why something happened – even if it was unfair, because a lot of things that happen to us are unfair – id that really an excuse to ill-treat or label others? Is it really an excuse to say “you’re not one of us”? It’s a delicate balance between emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence and basic common sense. If I do to you what you do to me, how am I any different?
• The first generation that migrates doesn’t have the resources, usually, and the awareness to work on unresolved traumas because they’re too busy making a living and surviving. The second generation is usually the one that has a bit more time and awareness and the safety net to come out of survival mode to think about their personal development, fulfilment and the likes. This lines up with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
• Before you have the moment where you awaken or you have a change of mind, there is a phase where you feel distraught and unable to help yourself, much like a victim. I’ve been there and it really shaped how I saw things. I felt helpless and that the world was a really bad place, that my good intentions were never being met, so it was a me vs the world thought process. In my early 20s, the realization hit that I don’t have to be a victim of my circumstances and I don’t have to suffer and tell myself I’m losing out and that things happen to, not for me. Changing that narrative helped me to do things and say I tried rather than I’ll fail no matter whether I try or not.

BEST MOMENTS
‘We all have something we can’t help, what happened to us is not an excuse to not work on our traumas'.

‘We are all good on the inside, that’s what’s going to get you further'.

‘The worst things can happen to us because we’re not aware of the boundaries we can have, the boundaries we can set, the way we can speak up, and make choices that empower us'.

‘Either you are Superman or you are the victim, but you chose that narrative in your mind'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest and sometime co-host Kristin Johnson to talk about quite a provocative title, but effectively boils down to the book and, more specifically, the TV series ‘Poldark’ - it may contain spoilers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you look at the principles of drama, going back to Shakespeare, of conflict and the human heart in conflict with itself and the tragic flaw/hero from Greek drama, they’ve stood the test of time. The chief antagonist of the series is a tragic character, but is more complex than a cardboard cutout, moustache-twirling villain – those are boring, people aren’t really like that, the worst people in history have reasons for what they do. Most people are complex.
• There’s a dilemma for me, and it’s being torn between two lovers. Ross, as much as he loved Demelza, never let go of Elizabeth. Moral dilemma might not be the right term for loving two people. Is it possible for us to love two people? Is it morally right? People have needs and wants and you may or may not act on them, what the series explores is what happens when you do. It’s realistic in the terms of the complications the love triangle between Ross, Demelza and Elizabeth presents for various characters and how they react to something like this. Can you love two people? Absolutely. Should you? That’s the question, and the series doesn’t necessarily answers that questions decisively.
• Elizabeth befriends the woman that’s a romantic rival, Demelza, because despite their differences in social class those two women connect on a deep level. I think that, if Ross wasn’t in the picture, they would be good friends.
• Ross is a guy that really thinks he can do it all, he’s really old school in that he wants to manage everything himself. But he learns to depend on Demelza, and trust her to manage his affairs. He puts her in a higher status and esteem as a community leader than she would have been before. Throughout the series she becomes that community leader. That shows a trust, not just in terms of the romantic sense, but the trust that you have to rely on people when life has dealt you a lot of blows.

BEST MOMENTS

‘240 years on from the American War of Independence here we are, a British and American chatting like equals'.

‘If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with'.

‘The game of life is a simple one, but we human players are complex'.

‘We all love the romantic, attraction, sizzle, chemistry, bodice-ripper romance, but the best relationships really have that foundation of friendship, respect and commonality'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Wayne Donnelly for a second episode of this mini-series to talk about how powerful the mind is, and how you can use it to change your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The old saying is: Whatever we believe to be true is true for us. But when you ask a man who he is, he normally comes back with his job title. Pulling off that layer, I’m a husband. Pull off that layer, I’m a father. Pull off that layer, I’m a sibling. They’re parts that you play in your life, but they’re not who you are. Who are you really and why are you here?
• It all comes back to the image that’s inside and the beliefs that they hold of themselves. While they believe that to be true it will stay the same and will only change when their beliefs change. We can access that unconscious/subconscious/other-than-conscious mind so that we can break that pathway and remake it into what it is that that person wants to achieve, whether that’s income, health, relationships, scholarly achievements, whatever.
• “Well-formed outcomes” are where I work with people to create a picture or movie of their desired outcome and load it with symbols and emotions which will magnetise the unconscious mind to take you there. You use the power of the unconscious mind and the steering and direction of the conscious mind.
• Some people’s subconscious will pop out without them thinking, we call it a Freudian Slip, and they’re sending you a message of what they think about themselves. At a surfing beach the other day I was invited over by some younger blokes and the first thing that came out of my mouth, before I could even think or stop it was: “My glory days are over”. How’s that for preventing me from having one of the best surfs of my life. Listen to what people say after “I am…”, they may say things in jest, but there’s a lot of truth in jest. I make sure I use different words when I get out surfing these days.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You cannot outperform your beliefs about yourself. If you think you’re royalty you will perform exactly to what that belief is you have about royalty. Or, if you believe you can only earn a certain amount of income, that’s all you’re going to earn'.

‘We have to raise the belief so we can raise the performance'.

‘We buy with emotions and use logic to justify after! The subconscious mind has power, once the programs are in there they’re going to go, but it has no ability to set the direction. The conscious mind however, can chose the goal we would like to have'.

‘We have to be very careful of the words that we utter because the unconscious will pick that up as a command'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by first-time guest Wayne Donnelly to talk about how powerful the mind is and how you can use it to change your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• My work is in behavioural change, and I use tools like hypnosis and neural linguistic programming. When clients come to me with an issue, I help them to change the way they think so that they approach life differently so that when they do change their minds, they can change their lives and what’s happening in their world.
• People come along for many different reasons; they might go on the coaching journey with me, or they might just come for a couple of sessions of hypnotherapy and change. It could be that they’re a smoker wanting to quit, and certainly when they’ve changed their mind, their identity, and their belief about themselves, they can go from being a smoker to someone who pursues health. The same with weight loss and many other things besides PTSD, stress and anxiety, and phobias (flying, snakes, spiders).
• In the entrepreneurial/business space there’s a saying that the business is a reflection of the owner – if the business isn’t doing well, something needs to be adjusted in the mindset of the owner. When we work on that we can lift their belief in themselves and we can change what they’re doing with the business.
• We can get caught up in thinking that reality is what we see around us and that our circumstances are dictating to us what we think and what believe is real. If we flip that around – and for a lot of people this will be challenging – regardless of what the circumstances are in our life, we can believe that things are favourable: Whatever we believe to be true is true for us.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Their altitude is determined by their attitude: If they come in with a certain approach, they get a certain result. It all comes down to self-image and self-worth'.

‘When the traumas from your past no longer have any control over you then you’re free to create the ideal version of yourself'.

‘Drinking to overcome your problems only creates more problems'.

‘There’s an old saying: “We get more of what we focus on”. Focus on the future of what you’re creating, not: What happened in the past? Why did it happen? Why did we respond to those certain events in the past?’
