Summary

After leaving his corporate job Nick immersed himself in the world of thought leadership in the areas of personal and spiritual growth, creative expression and inspired business and leadership. Initially he did this through his involvement with Alternatives at Saint James’s in Piccadilly where he got to meet and host many of the leading voices on the planet. Then he began to find his own voice and thought leadership through speaking, coaching and ultimately writing.

His thought leadership has been born out of his own personal experience, struggles and triumphs. As he has pioneered in his own life in the areas of work, success, power, inspiration, creativity, entrepreneurship, fear and now leadership, he has now written about what has worked for him.

In this episode we discuss the Hero’s Journey. How to honor your soul and in the adventure of life discover inspiration within, face the resistance along the way and come out of living in the shadows of others lives.

Powerful conversation! I really hope you enjoy it and would love to hear your comments. Peace, passion and purpose.

Key Take Outs

• Honour your soul. In life we close off to our souls allowing ourselves to be ruled by ego and conformity of life. If you really want to live a meaningful existence you must reconnect with your soul.
• The Hero’s Journey. The journey of life’s adventure and discovering your truth and your reason is really the Hero’s Journey. Taking a path that is not another’s but your own. This is our gift and available to all of us.
• Awaken to your truth. When you start listening internally to your voice and your intuition you will begin to awaken your soul and in that find your truth. This is the leads to true inspiration in life and a meaningful journey.
• In vulnerability we discover more inspiration. When you let yourself be yourself you start to truly express yourself.
• Take action. Without action there is dissatisfaction. The key to succuss in whatever size, shape or form you desire it to be, is action. In action you create momentum and this is the key to further inspiration, self-discovery, growth and of course a more meaningful existence.
• Take baby steps. Don’t discount baby steps in reaching your goals and dreams. The journey to greatness is not necessarily overnight. Take your time with things and be kind on yourself. You may not achieve all that you desire today but over the course of time and with the accumulation of experience you can.

Quote

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” Patañjali

What does living life with passion and purpose mean?

Being inspired, making a difference, having fun and adding to the amount of love, inspiration, and higher consciousness that exists on this planet, and enjoying the process.
