Warrior Mindset

In this episode Gene and Heather work their way through the book “Warrior of the Light” by Paulo Coelho and share some of the most impactful pages and comments with you.

It’s a simple read on it’s surface, not too many pages and each ‘section’ is easily written to fit on one or two pages. While you can read through it in an afternoon in one sitting, it could take years to apply Paul Coelho’s teachings to your life.

Reviewing a concept from Coach Mark Divine on figuring out what you stand for based on your “Passion, Purpose and Principles.”

MarkDivine – What do you stand for? ​

“Destiny favors the prepared in mind, body, and spirit.”  - Coach Mark Divine

Here are some tips to help you figure out what you stand for — your Passion, Purpose and Principles:

Sit with a journal. Answer questions based on “What would I do if…” such as What would I do if I had one year to live? …if I won the lottery? …if my team was bashing a teammate behind in back in my presence?

Define your values. What do you want more of – or less of – in your life? Clarifying them helps you stand your ground every day.

Discover your Passion. Your passion asks yourself “Who am I at my deepest level?” Clarifying what you’re passionate about allows you to put more energy towards it.

Armed with your self-awareness from other exercises, contemplate all the life paths that look, feel, or sound as if they’re in line with your passion, values, and stand. Write a few sentences or paragraphs defining your purpose in life. Refine it as new insights roll in. I check in with my purpose daily.

What is this term "Gaslighting"? How it is utilized and ways we can deal with it as a warrior should. Then we respond to a listener who posted back on the article and subject who had a different POV on it.

"A gaslighter is someone who denies responsibility by misappropriating blame or dismissing your points and emotions."

I ran across this great article on Medium about Gaslighting and it made me think about it in a very deep way. How i've maybe done it to other people, have had it done to me and what i've witnessed first hand others' going through:

Gaslighters are everywhere. They are in the bedroom and they are in the boardroom. They are our parents, our siblings, and even our closest friends. Refusing to admit who this person is will not change them, it will only lead us further down the rabbit hole of delusion and loss.
