Ep 222: What Makes Me Matter

Start Your Transformation Now This was a great question that Peter asked. Also, the bigger part of his question was about creating extreme wealth like Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, etc without “working hard.” Peter asked if it was possible to create extreme wealth without working hard. In this episode I talk about: [3:01] The many variables to be found in his question [5:01] The degrees and variations of hard work [7:05] What constitutes “hard work?” [10:32] The role of prosperity consciousness is creating wealth [11:54] AND….the single factor that created extreme wealth for the people mentioned Many years ago I read the classic book, “The Science of Getting Rich” and there were many takeaways but there was one that has helped me “get rich,” and I share it in this podcast. I have found it to be foolproof and air-tight. And, if it worked for me, it will work for you. This one thing that I share with you in this podcast can make you rich, I promise! Transformational Takeaway: The easiest path to wealth is expansion for others.

Start Your Transformation Now No matter what happens to you, it has no meaning except the meaning that you give it. The very same thing can happen to two different people and it’s obvious that each person will give it a different meaning…and reaction/response. The concept isn’t new however, so few people live by the power of this concept. In this episode I talk about: [1:18] Various scenarios that each of us give different meaning to [4:09] Why you give everything meaning [6:05] The fact that you’re a “meaning-making machine” [7:57] The implications of living from external meanings [9:25] When people are judging you they are simply giving meaning to you [15:48] What it means when people “die” [21:46] Why good/bad meanings lead to indecision And, like I say in every episode synopsis…a lot more. This concept has the absolute power to literally transform your life, yet, we have to integrate this concept and start working from it. This concept will set you free from the ups and downs of life. Transformational Takeaway: Nothing has any meaning except the meaning you give it. Mentioned Resources: Master Thought Formula EPISODE 82: Q & A – How do I stop doubting myself?

Start Your Transformation Now I picked this Q & A question because I think so many people can relate to it. Also, I kept it simple in this episode as I gave you the counter thinking that I work from when it comes to things going “right or wrong” in my life. In this episode I talk about: [3:38] The interpretations we’re making when life is not going “right?” [6:31] The relativity of life going right [7:56] Attachments and expectations about how life is to be [9:05] And finally, perhaps things do happen for a lack of skills I really had one objective with this episode. The objective is to take you from understanding to knowing this week’s transformational takeaway. Transformational Takeaway: Things always have been, are now and will always be fine in life.

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you tried to change and failed and then said things like…“I’m so weak, I have no willpower, I can’t trust myself,” and the like? Well, the truth is this, when you’ve tried to change in the past and failed, it’s not about you personally, it’s about your habits. More specifically, it’s about your reptilian brain habits. So, when you’ve tried to change before and failed, it has nothing to do with weakness, it simply has to do with knowing how to work with your brain. In this episode I talk about: [2:30] How personalizing your habits is a mistake [3:50] Why your habits are not about “you” [5:29] Why you are not your habits [7:14] The fact that you’ve been indoctrinated into who you are [10:23] How your indoctrination keeps you trapped [18:03] Your money and health indoctrination [21:25] And, the reason you should choose your self-indoctrination I often tell people, “You’re not at the mercy of your circumstances, you’re at the mercy of your interpretations.” And, it’s vital that you not personalize your habits and your interpretations because you’re then working against yourself in your quest for change and transformation. Transformational Takeaway: You are not weak, you are not at the mercy of your circumstances and indoctrination, you are at the mercy of what you CHOOSE to indoctrinate yourself with, your self-talk and habits.

Start Your Transformation Now If you’ve tried to change before and failed you’ll love this short episode. It’s not your fault, it’s your brain and you’re not getting the changes you want because you’re working against your brain’s natural function. It’s epidemic…people trying to change yet they get little to no change in life and then they usually become more and more frustrated and just give up. In this episode I talk about: [2:44] Habits and episode # 83 [3:19] Subconscious reprogramming and episode # 80 [3:59] How all habits and patterns come from your reptilian brain [6:55] Why your brain craves predictability [10:06] Why you get anxious when you try to change [15:59] And, why change is so hard In this episode, I refer you back to a few others and then share the simple attitude you must embrace to create long term change in life. Transformational Takeaway: 1) Your reptilian brain loves predictability, 2) Your reptilian brain creates anxiety as a survival mechanism and, 3) Your old habits are simply that, habits.

Start Your Transformation Now What if I told you that you have no “problems?” Seriously? If you’re like most people you’d start telling me why I’m wrong and then you’d start telling me about all your problems to prove that you have problems. The truth is this, you have no problems, you simply have beliefs and perceptions about what problems are and what that means to you. In this episode I start tearing down your old beliefs that you have problems and when you shift from having problems to a new paradigm I’m going to share in this episode, your problems go away. In this episode I talk about: [1:56] How your problems are learned beliefs [3:19] Why having no money is not a problem [4:35] Why most people struggle their entire lives with “problems.” [10:02] How everything in your life is a blessing for your own benefit [12:00] Why anything that can be solved means it’s not a problem [13:31] Why life is exactly perfect as it is [15:35] Why obsessing over problems makes them worse [23:44] And, as always, a lot more… If you want to break free from all of your problems your old and faulty thinking about what problems are needs to be replaced. Transformational Takeaway: A question to ask yourself, “Am I dealing with and focusing on what I PERCEIVE to be a problem or is my attention on my desire outcome?” Mentioned Resources: Master Thought Formula Episode 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You Want Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now You can heal your body! Your body follows your mind and research proves it. In a Harvard Medical School study, it was discovered that you can recover 2/3rds faster from surgery using the power of your mind. I could give you a long list of credible medical research that proves you can heal: Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Mayo Clinic, NIH, etc. In this episode I talk about: [4:21] Fact, your body follows your mind [9:39] The pharmaceutical industry and traditional medicine [11:05] When traditional medicine is good for you and when it’s not [14:56] A few types of preventive care and healing [16:22] Healing experts and referrals [29:16] And, natural healing I’ll keep this really simple. It’s so obvious that most of us miss it, we have dominion over our bodies and we can heal. At the least, I hope this episode gets you to think about the power of your mind and how it affects your health and wellness. Transformational Takeaway: You can heal your body.

Start Your Transformation Now Ponder the headline, when you fully come to know the headline your life will change for the better. So many people stay trapped in their circumstances for a lifetime and they then live what Henry David Thoreau called “Lives of quiet desperation.” This episode can be life-changing when you come to own the truth that circumstances are not your prison, your life interpretations are. In this episode I talk about: [3:06] Interpretations Vs Facts [5:06] How you learn interpretations [6:57] Why your current circumstances are interpretation driven [17:39] Why your beliefs about money are interpretations [19:28] The cultural influence in interpretations [23:24] And, the one sentence that I ask myself when I get “stuck” in life I cannot stress enough how vital it is to understand the concept that your life is ‘one big interpretation.’ If you’re not getting what you want in life then change your interpretations, because… Transformational Takeaway: You’re never at mercy of your circumstances, you are at mercy of interpretations.
