“This is your life yours, its yours to live as you wish, towards all those things that you desire. Dream big! Go after everything that you want and make sure its in line with what your passionate about and make sure everything you do is purposeful in getting you there.”

In this weeks solo show I decided to get a couple of past guests and friends on the show to have an open chat about The Hidden Why and subjects within. However, Daniel Van Veluwen thought it would be a great idea to instead turn the tables and interview me.

This is an interview with myself discussing who I am, what I am doing and why I am doing this project, The Hidden Why. Its a really down to earth chat about various things but importantly about what it means to live life with greater passion and purpose.

We delve off on various tangents along the way with I believe some valuable take-outs. Please enjoy this show and until next time peace, passion and purpose.

Tops Books of 2015: My top 10

Ok, so here it is, a little delayed but I got there. This is my 2015 top 10 book selection. Some of them are in my top 10 of all time.

Why is reading so important? Well for me its simple- I learn stuff. Sounds a little nerdy but the joy and excitement I get from learning is powerful in my life. I believe it would be powerful in anyone’s life.

It is a common behaviour among the successful as well, so it must have some credibility. Actually I heard a while back that reading a book every week is like doing a college degree every year. The rewards are huge.

“Trust is the glue of life. Its the most essential ingredient in effective communication. Its the foundational principle that holds all relationships.” Stephen Covey

Trust: a firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something.

In this 3 minute thought I review my thoughts on trust. I highlight that trust has amazing powers. It is often hard for us to trust everything.

If you can practice trust to a point where you can trust everything great benefits will come.

Trust is a higher and more powerful energy than distrust. By focusing on trust you will remove distrust, you will attract more energy fields that contain trust- like trusting people and less likely to receive distrust.

Start with trust, don’t start with distrust. Here are my thoughts, peace, passion and purpose.

Summary

“It’s my hero’s journey and it just goes to prove that we can be called to do almost anything in this life.”

Kim “Skipper” Corbin created the iSkip movement back in 1999 Kim found herself being, encouraged by a friend, skipping down a street.  Having felt a great sense of energy, happiness & fun from this and knowing that it must be fantastic for fitness, she was inspired to take it one skip further. Her vision was to start a world wide skipping movement and so it begins.

In this interview we discuss why it’s important to pay attention to the signals and messages in life and how this, in a spiritual sense, is our connection to the universe. Asking questions and holding an open and curious mind that allows you to grow, learn and take hold of opportunities that comes about is also important.

The Change Game Part 2: The Practice to Manage Healthy Change

“Don’t be afraid of change. You may lose something good but gain something even better.” 

In this episode I follow on from my previous solo show of change- episode 070. If you havent listened to this episode yet, I suggest it a good place to start.  

This time however I hone in on principles that can assist you to practice and manage change in more harmony. Change is easy but learning practices that help you deal with the change can make it easier. 

I focus on 6 areas: create Awareness ; Accept-dont Resist; Reflection; Seek Positive Input; and Find Joy. 

I really hope you can take away something from my thoughts on change and I will be writing and posting full blogs on this topic very soon. 

Until next time, peace, passion and purpose. 

Summary

“Don’t die while your music is still within you.”

Spirituality and enlightenment is often something that is seen as only available to  only those “wise gurus” however the process to enlightenment is something that we can all share. The issue is trying to make sense of all the information- it can be a little overwhelming. Bring in Kirstie Ganobsik and Trina Noelle.

They write and share lessons they have learnt as well as common sense approaches and experiences, sometimes humorous, that help make our understanding of self practice of enlightenment less intimidating and more achievable. In this crazy world we live in we can all certainly benefit from these practices, tips, tricks and other methods to help live our lives with more fulfillment and peace.

In this episode we have a down to earth chat about enlightenment but if that’s word is too much to digest basically we talk about how to find your passion and purpose, and how to live life with greater peace and calmness. The ideas and thoughts we share in this discussion can benefit us all.

I really hope you enjoy today’s show and please let me know what you think. Until next time, peace, passion and purpose.

NLP: Your Map to Happiness, Confidence and Success by Neil Shah

“In life you are given a bag of moments. You don’t know how many of those moments you have. Learning NLP is about maximising those moments.” Richard Bandler

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, what the hell is it and how does it work? Well without being an expert here is my simple explanation of what it is. It is basically our ability to use language to affect, change and develop our neurology and in doing so our programming or behaviour. By changing our behaviours we can change our reality.

To me NLP makes sense and is perhaps not as complex as I perceive. Like any subject matter that you are unfamiliar with, it is only through learning and knowledge that improve your familiarity to a point when initial complexities and perceptions are removed and changed.

If wisdom is the ability to have many multiple perspectives on life and reality then your ability to remain open to all learning’s, opinions, beliefs and views within this universe is an important one.

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.” Jim Rohn

We have control over people and things. We also have responsibility over our lives. This is a leadership quality and you may think that if you don’t lead people than why have responsibility.

Why? Because we are our own greatest leaders and if you want a grand life you have to lead that, and that means taking control and taking responsibility.

Enjoy this little motivational though for today and until next time, peace, passion and purpose.
