One of the core tenants of personal development, from ancient wisdom including Stoicism to modern science, and disciplines from coaching to cognitive behavioural psychology ... is that our mind is a powerful tool - but does not have to run the show of our life: we always have the power over our thoughts. Every time we have a thought about something, we have a feeling associated with it - which triggers actions and results. It is not what is happening in the world (our circumstances) that causes our feelings, but our thoughts about our circumstances. We can therefore become conscious about the thinking that causes the unwanted results … and create new thoughts patterns to trigger different feelings, actions and results. There are smaller and bigger examples every day of this principle in action ... In this episode, I am speaking to someone who embodies the power of the mind in a BIG way ... Garrain Jones! For over 2 years, Garrain lived out of his car and was over $300,000 in debt. If life was not hitting rock bottom enough, he then spent 2 ½ years in prison - in France- for selling heroin. But through these challenges, and many other tragic events in his life, Garrain found his purpose and was able to completely change the trajectory of his life. And the wake-up call to change his life came unexpectedly. Today, he is a transformation coach, business coach, speaker, author, health and wellness advocate, and serial entrepreneur who has motivated and inspired thousands of people around the world. He is living proof that our circumstances can change, IF we are willing to change the way we think. In his bestselling book, he shares his proven process for removing lifelong struggles (starting from within), and gives the tools to attract prosperity and passion in all areas of life. In our conversation, you will get to hear his powerful story of “rags to riches”, and how he overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles. We also talk about the power of mindset, how he turned his life-long pain and struggle into passion, and why anyone (regardless of their current circumstances) has the power to live a happy and abundant life! Enjoy :-)
