Burning Issues

Momentum is a key tenet of any successful life.    Importantly we must remember that it works both ways and can become a burden if we aren’t careful.   #burningissues #momentum

There is no manual to get to a destination.  If there was, life would be horrendously boring and somewhat pointless.   Instead, we are blessed with a canvas to create our own masterpiece each and every day.

Capitalist and consumerist cultures, encourage us to want and strive for more.  However, we often forget to be thankful and truly appreciate what we already have.

Compromise is a hallmark of any successful relationship, however, changing or hiding parts of your character in fear of the other person discovering elements of your personality is extremely detrimental.

With New Year and new goals in mind, I give my thoughts on an incredibly important and often neglected concept.

The emotional cycle of change is a model in psychology developed by Don Kelley and Daryl Conner in 1979, explaining how we face, react to and deal with changes in our lives.

A super simple concept, that we all must consider each and every day.

There is so much fulfilment from being of service to other people and helping them realise their dreams.

Why experiences are worth so much more than material goods.

Most likely the single most important podcast I will ever make.

In order to achieve your goals, this is of paramount importance.

This is a key component of my philosophy:  Passion + Purpose + Perseverance = Progress   We all go through tough times, it is how we recover from them and indeed use them as a catalyst for change that matters.

On this week's edition of Burning Issues:  The topic of ideas is discussed.   1) You have your great idea.   2) You Google it.   3) You find something similar.   4) You give up.   Sound familiar?  This habit is counter-intuitive, as I will explain.

Particularly in business startup culture, many buzzwords are banded around social media and in the general lexicon, that in my opinion have serious underlying negative connotations.  One crucial substitution I forgot to mention in the video, is changing the word failure to the word lesson.   What do you think? Did I miss any?

In this episode, I cover the importance of consistency over intensity, introduce the Flow State chart, the Iceberg and the  Emotional Cycle of Change.   Put simply, you have to deliver every day, being a firework is pointless, a candle is what you need to aim for.

The sooner you figure this out for yourself, the sooner you will be successful.

🚨This one is going to cause controversy, however, it is for the right reasons🚨   On today's Burning Issues, I talk about The Importance of Meaningful Relationships.

Having watched Ricky Gervais' After Life on Netflix, I felt inspired to talk openly about how I approach mental health, following a self-admitted 6 week period of hospitalisation in mid-2019.

In this episode, I will teach you how I succeed in every aspect of my life, day in day out.   REMEMBER THE EQUATION:  Passion + Purpose + Perseverance = Progress   The sum of these parts far outweighs the inputs, this is why progress is so sweet.
