Enhancing The Human Experience

This episode of the podcast is all about why your state of being is so important and also why it's not the only thing.  A lot of my work focuses on this topic, so I wanted to shed some light on it.  In my research, I've discovered this idea over and over again from virtually all spiritual masters.  In addition, contemporary philosophers and psychologists point to your state of being as the foundation for the experiences you will encounter in life.  I hope you enjoy the show! Show Notes The reason I focus so much of my work on the idea of developing a successful state of being is due to the fact that all action flows from our state of being. For your actions to be effective, and produce the results you want, you first have to develop a successful state of being. Your state of being is the same as your state of consciousness, or your state of mind. It’s the foundation for all of the experiences you will ever have in life. While your state of being is important, it’s not the only thing.  You also have

Note: For this podcast’s show notes, I've decided to deviate from my standard show note format, and go with more of a blog post format.  I felt this would be a better way to communicate the information. Are You Ready to Beat Perfectionism Once and For All? If you’re reading this post, I’m going to assume you’re ready to put perfectionism in it’s place once and for all. I’m also going to assume that you’ve had enough of dealing with the decreased productivity and the endless feelings of fear, doubt, anxiety, and worry that accompany perfectionistic thinking. Not to mention the huge energy expenditure of trying to be perfect, and do everything perfectly all of the time. It’s exhausting, I know. I definitely feel your pain. I've been there. In fact, even though I’ve done a good deal of work in this area, I still find myself having to deal with perfectionistic thinking from time to time. And that brings up an important point. In my own experience, and learning from others, I don't believe the perfectionis

In this week's episode it's all about the importance of knowing yourself first, and then knowing others.  I originally planned on doing a in-depth version of this show for episode 001, but I wasn't ready to get that crazy in my first episode.  But now that we're rolling, let's get into it.  Knowing yourself is so vital to success in every area of life, that this topic will definitely be something I talk about again in the future.  In this episode, I lay the foundation for doing that. Show Notes Success in life is built upon knowing thyself. When you know yourself, you know how you can best serve others. We help one another by coming together and offering our own unique gifts and talents in the service of one another. Self-introspection can be difficult, but it's vital to realizing success in life. Keep the process of knowing yourself at the forefront of your mind throughout the day.  Take every opportunity to go deeper. Exercise discrimination when putting all of your "stuff" in a vehicle to trav

Inspiration.  We all want it.  We all need it.  Without it, taking the necessary actions to realize our goals and dreams in life is virtually impossible.  In this episode of the podcast, I talk all about where to find it and how to keep it. Show Notes The big I is inspiration. Oxford defines inspiration as, the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. Inspiration is vital to success because it causes you to act - to do.  Without inspiration, nothing happens. The bottom line is, you are a creator.  And creators need to be inspired in order to create. Where can you find inspiration?  The short answer is, everywhere. You can find inspiration in people, places, and things. I like to use Pinterest to organize my personal inspiration swipe file.  I have three main categories, as I mentioned above.  But I also have categories for companies, and design because I enjoy these topics. You can also use your phone or computer to store your inspir

This is the first of many shows I'm developing where I'll be sharing what I've learned from successful people in a wide variety of professions and industries about winning in the game of life.  In this episode, I share three things I learned from Charlie Sheen about winning.  I hope you enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Show Notes The three things I learned from Charlie Sheen about winning in the game of life are: Be humble - Some days you win, and some days you lose.  It's all a learning process. Be entertaining - In both your personal life, and your professional life, being entertaining is what gets people to pay attention to what you have to say.  Then just be sure you have something important to say. Be kind to your body - Your body is the vehicle that carries you through life, so treat it with as much kindness and compassion as you can.  It will thank you for it. One Sentence Summary: When it comes to winning in the game of life, it's vital to be humble, be entertaining, and be kind to your body.

Do you want to instill a can-do entrepreneurial mindset in your child?  Or maybe in yourself?  Well if so, Kid Capitalist: What Every Kid Should Know About Owning A Business will help you do that.  In this episode, I'm going to review this great book and share my top 5 takeaways with you.  Let's face it.  The world is always in a state of change.  Rather than relying on employers or the government for security, more and more evidence suggests that we must become self-reliant, and build our own security if we want to realize true and lasting prosperity.  That's why it's important to help young and old alike understand that they have it within themselves to strike out on their own and forge their own way.  To be their own boss if they want to be.  This book helps kids understand what being an entrepreneur is all about from someone who is one. Show Notes My top 5 takeaways from this book are: The option exists for your child to become an entrepreneur, but it has to occur to them first. It all starts with an

In this episode I want to share a story with you.  While I use a fictional character to illustrate the point of the story, it's ultimately a story about you.  And whether you realize it or not, you're writing a new chapter every day.  It's the story of choice.   Every day - every moment in fact - you have a choice.  You can choose to align yourself with divine mind, infinite creativity, and success, or with race mind, infinite competition, and struggle. Aligning your thinking and consciousness with divine mind will help you tap into the infinite stream of ideas and opportunities that are always available to you.  Once you're tapped in, you can execute! Show Notes When you tune in to divine mind, you'll automatically notice an improvement in every area of your life. It's simple but not easy. The predominant collective state of consciousness is negative, pessimistic, and rooted in race mind thinking. Practice every day by training yourself to align your thinking with divine mind.
