Challenges in life are inevitable. No matter how much we may have life dialed into what we want, the challenge will be there. How we navigate these challenges will be the determining factor in our life and the fulfillment we experience. Learning to see challenges as opportunities is a powerful way to turn any tough situation into a gift. The concept of today’s show is based on the Buddhist princip...

The figure of Christ is something that many are aware of. But the understanding of the Christ energy and how it lives within each of us is less understood. There is so much to our world we do not yet know, and the dynamic of connection with Spiritual beings is one of them. We will dig into what this means and how it can impact our lives as energetic beings. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event I bel...

Compassion and empathy are something our world has slowly been developing. We’ve improved our way of life to bring more awareness to how we live, consider marginalized groups, and expand the rights of many beings on Earth. We still have much work to do, but there has been tremendous progress in the last 2000 years. But we’ve missed the mark on compassion and empathy towards ourselves—particularly...

Self-deception is one of the great challenges humans face. Our ability to be conscious and aware separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. But we can be very crafty about our ability to deny reality too. Our minds are powerful. They create the world we experience. If we don’t take the time to examine our minds and the things we believe, then we can spend most of our days in a haze of mistr...

Projection is something we’ve known for many years now in the world of psychology. But we still haven’t quite grasped the value of seeing through to the core of why this happens. Understanding this dynamic is a powerful tool for navigating choppy and tumultuous situations, especially in a world driven by information and technology. Not understanding these pieces makes us very vulnerable to manipul...

Vulnerability gets a bad rap often. It’s considered a weakness by many. Unfortunately, our world still operates out of fear mode. Many believe the only way to get things done is by using fear, shame, anger, and aggression to push people. I never vibed with that approach, and it wasn’t until I learned about the power of vulnerability by using it in my life I realized there are far better ways to mo...

We all must be mindful of the balance of giving and taking. There is a symbiotic relationship between all life—an interdependency. When we are unaware of this or disregard this reality, we become very destructive to all we touch. We begin the process of dehumanization and disconnection. The 21st century has brought about tremendous change and progress with technology, but how we treat each other q...

Fear of the unknown is harming us as a species. It’s preventing us from progressing and increasing the divide between us. The counter to this is leaning into the unknown and learning to celebrate what we do not know. Adventure and triumph all lie within the unknown. Growth, skills, and experience are all within the unknown. The unknown is our friend! We will be diving deep into the topic of the un...

Thinking critically increasingly becomes more important in a society driven by information. It’s easy to get swept away by conflicting ideas without critical thinking. It’s one of the most valuable and crucial skills to develop for thriving in the modern world. So many of us are suffering, and it’s because we lack the skills to see deeply into the world. We will discuss this and much more on today...

We are not abandoned. We are not alone. We have guidance and direction. All we must do is ask. Our inner guidance system is a complicated and beautiful gift we all have access to, but so much has been distorted around its power. We’re going to explore this concept in depth on today’s show. Let’s dig in! What’s Happening in Today’s Episode The topic of today’s show has been something that’s both pe...

There are many misconceptions about shadow work and confronting our darkness. Fear has been leading how we engage these aspects of ourselves. It’s unfortunate because much of how we unlock our potential come by engaging directly with these parts. Fear grows what we don’t face. We’re going to discuss this and much more in today’s show. Let’s dig in. What’s Happening in Today’s Episode Last week’s e...

All of us are feeling the pressure cooker of our society. Tensions are on the rise. Division seems to be all around us. Things are tough right now for a lot of people. Part of the problem is our inability to reflect on the past and see our progress as a society. Too much is being focused on the past negative aspects of our history. We’re ignoring all the sacrifices, effort, and innovation laid bef...

Many seek to avoid uncomfortable things, especially regarding the feelings and thoughts we carry within us. They are overwhelming and intimidating. So we seek to avoid them. This seems like a good plan at the moment, but over time this practice only grows the negative thoughts and feelings. The way we overcome them is through integration. This means we must face down the demons/dragons within us t...

The mind is the builder. Unlocking the secrets of how our minds work enables us to unleash the potential we hold within us. Without mastery of our minds, we will struggle and suffer. The mind is a beautiful servant but a terrible master. Learning to master our minds is the key to reaching our goals. Let’s dig in! What’s Happening in Today’s Episode We have desires. We have a vision. We have goals....

Many of us are searching for purpose and meaning within our lives. There’s an innate desire to live a life that matters. We want to serve and make an impact. We want to live differently. This yearning comes from deep within us and is the topic of today’s episode. There is much wisdom within suffering, and our ability to apply meaning to struggles in life can be the determining factor in the life w...

One of the most common human dilemmas is that of a Creator. Do they exist? Is God real? Are we all connected? The idea that we’re part of something intentional and organized is challenging for many of us to accept. There are a lot of reasons why this is so. We dive into this idea and look at what we can do to go deeper into our existential explorations of life. Let’s dig in. What’s Happening in To...

Almost everyone wants to live kick-ass lives. But very few take action towards making their dream a reality consistently over time. Many of us dream, but how do we build our visions? That’s the topic of today’s show. Let’s dig in! What’s Happening in Today’s Episode If we’re unclear on the life we desire, it’s tough to live a fulfilling life. We need the vision to bridge and create the world we wi...

The Reframe is a well-known concept in the self-development space, but many overlook its power to rebuild new habits and perspectives. It’s a simple and incredibly effective way to tangibly reshape our beliefs and how we interact with the world around us. Our perspectives shape our experience, so modifying our views to align with the goals and vision we have in life is vital. Let’s dig in. What’s...

Last week we discussed the concept of Learned Helplessness . Learned Optimism is the concept that sparked the entire Positive Psychology movement. Positive Psychology is effectively the science of self-transformation. It affirms what ancient wisdom has intuitively been teaching us for centuries. TLDR: We are the creators of our lives, and we build first from our minds. Learned Optimism is modern r...

Learned Helplessness is a new concept I learned recently from my good buddy, Mental Matt , over on Twitter. It’s an important concept we need to learn as a society to help develop compassion and understanding for those around us. Many people struggle today, and judging and criticizing is easy without understanding how we get stuck in bad situations. Let’s dig in. What’s Happening in Today’s Episod...

An old saying that’s been around since the 1800s, this statement is still mightily relevant in our modern times. I will discuss the beginnings of this statement and how we still have a long way to go to leverage the power and wisdom this statement holds. The very fact this was a statement written almost 200 years ago speaks to the power it holds. Let’s dig in. What’s Happening in Today’s Episode U...

Sorry for the delay in publishing! I had to take my daughter to Urgent care, but things are all good now. She’s fine :) I wrote a thread earlier this week around the idea of “Fake it until you make it.” You can find it here: https://twitter.com/BrandonLeeWard/status/1610290535213703169?s=20&t=9USAsyMvfak6ahEYdfiKuQ This is a popular concept in personal and career development to build confidence in...
