Published on 31 Oct 2016. This week's guest, Panache Desai, is a contemporary spiritual teacher, author of Discovering Your Soul Signature, and recent guest of Oprah Winfrey on Super Soul Sunday.
Desai's connection to spirit, to something bigger than him or any one being, arrived as a child. Embracing it and allowing it to move through him came easily. But, because it also came so early in life, he'd not yet developed the seasoning to be able to understand and apply this wisdom in the most constructive way.
It would take years of grappling, growing and even stumbling, often in the public's eye, to begin to forge a deeper wisdom and a more capable channel that would allow him to fully step into, understand and share his gift.
TThe catalyst for this rapid evolution, though, would be something Panache Desai never saw coming, his daughter's devastating diagnosis of heart failure. Hours after we spoke with Panache, he would be on a plane to the hospital to join his wife and daughter, who had just been placed on a list for a heart-transplant.
He was in a process of reckoning. This is where our conversation began. We dropped into the deep end of the pool very quickly and never really came out. The conversation was powerful, emotional and it will challenge your idea of meaning and connection and remind you of the importance of staying open, leading with love, being forever a student and owning our impact on those around us. We wish Panache and his family love and healing, grace and ease.
Get your free guided meditation from Panache to change the energy that surrounds you and access the greatness that has always lived inside you.

Published on 21 Nov 2017. Tim’s doing a new experiment.
(I’m not surprised.)
He’s looking at people and asking himself one question...
“What happened to this person?"
He said, “Normal people are just folks you don’t know well enough yet, right? Nobody's normal. We’re so full of stuff and trauma and nonsense and silly beliefs. Everyone’s a work in progress and since you’re a work in progress, it’s very hard to know yourself.”
He gave me an example. But didn’t name names.
“There was this woman who had some very peculiar emotions. It turned out that she had watched her father beat her mother into unconsciousness on multiple occasions… knocked out, unconscious, on the floor. And that was just the tip of the iceberg.”
She’s acting in response to her past. Not her present. I think that’s what Tim means when he said, “we're cause and effect collection machines.”
And that’s really where advice comes from… the intersection between cause, effect, and hindsight.
I feel Tim’s really mastered this new intersection. He’s embracing being “a work in progress.”
That’s what makes his new book so relatable.
It’s called “Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World.”
He reached out to Matt Ridley, Stephen Pressfield, Dustin Moskovitz, Naval Ravikant, Patton Oswalt, Susan Cain, Ben Stiller, Annie Duke… the list goes on and on.
(But don’t worry! I’m in the next book, “Tribe of ALMOST Mentors”).
Each person in the book dissects their success. They slice it open, dig through the guts and give you the heart.
They show you HOW they became a peak performer. And the best part is it’s all through Tim’s lens. -

Published on 05 Mar 2014. Operation Self Reset Episode 37: Six Fingers to Your Reset
In this episode of the Operation Self Reset podcast, Jake is talking about how to create your own self reset for a better you.
When we think about about a self reset, often times we might think about changing who we are. We all have positive and negative things about ourselves. We all have things we want to change. But do we really need or want to become an entirely different person? What’s wrong with being who we really are?
Some people may look like they have the perfect life, but honestly, no one has everything together! They’ve just constructed the perfect image to show the world, but behind the mask they have cracks in their life just like everyone else. No one is perfect and no one expects you to be either.
As Jake tells us, you don’t need to completely change yourself when things are going wrong, you just need to press the reset button! But figuring out how to press that reset button can be confusing at times. How do you even begin that reset process? What small differences should you make in order to create a better you? In this episode, Jake gives us six tips to help us get started on our own self resets.

Published on 06 Mar 2014. How will grabbing every opportunity help you change your life? Grabbing every opportunity will allow more opportunity’s come into your life. Lots of people speak of not having the idea, that plan, or way of thinking. If you are grabbing every opportunity that comes in your life you will have the chance to make your life that much better.
What is opportunity?
This is taken from Dictionary.com: Opportunity is a good position, chance, or prospect, as for advancement or success.
Opportunities come into our lives daily. Why don’t you grab them and make them yours?
* Are you afraid?
* You are too lazy.
* Your plate is too full.
* It’s too much work.
What are your excuses? Opportunity is not granted for the blessed individuals. Opportunity has nothing to do with race, age, how you were raised, if you are smart or stupid, if you are an entrepreneur, or if you have or have not graduated from school.
Opportunity presents itself to everyone. The question I have for you is why don’t you take that opportunity that is in front of you and run with it?
If you feel you have had no opportunities in you life, let me open your eyes. Chances are you played some sport or activity growing up. Someone passed you the ball, gave you a shot, or allowed you to perform in front of a large stage. What did you do when you were in that position? Most likely you passed that ball off, moved out of position, or froze. You were given an opportunity but you did not choose to do anything with it.
Lucky for you, new opportunities present themselves all the time. Next time when that idea, suggestion, or creative plan comes into your mind, grab it and take action on it.
Opportunities are not for the ones granted to become successful; they are for normal people like you and me. The only difference is that the successful people took action and did something with the opportunities that came into their lives.

Published on 22 Feb 2016. Originals are the non-conformists who drive creativity and change forward—the ones who help us progress as both independent cultures and a unified species. They’re Steve Jobs’ “crazy ones.” Yet in spite of this, humanity has always had a fascinatingly dysfunctional relationship with originality—we simultaneously venerate and scorn it, particularly in the workplace. Originals may eventually […]

Published on 24 Oct 2016. Glennon Doyle Melton is an author, activist, and founder of Momastery.com and Together Rising, a non-profit that has raised close to five million dollars for women and children in crisis.
Her brand new book, LOVE WARRIOR is a #1 New York Times Bestseller and the most recent Oprah's Book Club selection.
Today, I sit down with Glennon the morning after she's wrapped one of her gathering at the legendary BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) in New York City, where she was joined by a multi-denominational collective on-stage, including Alicia Keys who was so moved she couldn't help but belt out an impromptu song before leaving.
In this conversation, we dip into her new memoir. But that's more of a jumping off point that leads us into some very different waters, from leading as an introvert, her feelings about faith and how it informs what she's creating to how she's moving into a season of her life where the line between public and private, art and service, love and leading is shifting in profound and intentional ways.
We go deep into some provocative territory here, and there are more than a few invitations to reconsider how you move into the world and what you choose to focus on. Agree or not, this is a conversation that'll leave you lifted, challenge your assumptions and also make you think and feel.

Published on 24 Oct 2016. Here are five ideas to develop emotional mastery in your life so that you can have a more enduring sense of self and strength.
Empathy. The real understanding about ourselves comes from our connection to humanity and the feelings of others. Self-reliance. Remember that you are autonomous. You are the one who controls your focus, attention, time, and actions. Self-confidence. Self-confidence is cultivated when you choose to express who you are. It is defined by the belief that no matter the situation or struggle you find yourself in, you're going to figure it out. Social sharing. Emotional mastery emerges from expressions of vulnerability and self-honesty. Silence will only lead to suffering. Self-talk. Emotional mastery requires that you give yourself cues. Literally tell yourself how to feel and how to respond. Get the full video training, transcript, mp3 download, and sharable quotes of this episode over at: http://brendon.com/blog/emotional-mastery/
You'll also find previous episode links there that will help you build your emotional mastery, from how to bring the joy into any situation, to how to take care of yourself and others, to how to express yourself creatively.

Published on 16 Nov 2017. Listen to episode 214 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Wake up & Live | Mindfulness Exercises. Edited and adapted from Wake Up & Live by Dorothea Brande.
Motivational Podcast Excerpt: There are dozens of small ways by which we can make our minds both keener and more flexible – two qualities that are necessary for those who intend to live successfully. We all succumb too easily to the temptation to find a routine which allows us to get our day’s tasks done with a minimum of effort and conscious attention — a fact which might have no unfortunate effects at all if we used the time we save by our routines to a good purpose.
But the cold truth is that we do nothing of the sort. We apply the habit of routines to our whole lives, growing mentally and spiritually more flaccid, more timorous, less experimental with every day we spend supported by the rigidity of habit. Habit takes care of most of our ordinary activities. We get through our work by using only that part of our intellect which has been trained to consider the work’s specific problems. When we meet a novel thought or situation, we fall back on an analogy and act according to the prejudice or emotion which it arouses in us.
Even those who think of themselves as extraordinarily hard workers are not usually in that state of mental training which allows them to get the most from their lives.....

Published on 20 Sep 2016. You’re either horrible or miserable.
Woody Allen has this joke in “Annie Hall.”
He says, “Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.
That’s the two categories.
The horrible are terminal cases. You know? And blind people, crippled… I don’t know how they get through life… It’s amazing to me.
And the miserable is everyone else.
So you should be thankful that you’re miserable. Because that’s very lucky… to be miserable.”
I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. We complain about getting older or not having a passion, etc.
“In relatively recent history—we’re talking the 1980s and later—we got convinced into believing we all have a capital P ‘Passion,’” Cal Newport said.
Cal’s a tenured professor at Georgetown. And majored in computer science.
So did I.
Fact: You can’t pre-test a fetus to see what its passion will be.
Passion is not in your DNA.
I wasn’t born to podcast. Or write. Or be a father. I was just born…
And I have eyes.
So I see what other people are doing.
I have ears. So I hear who’s winning. And then my brain asks, “Why am I here?”
“People believe if we look inside ourselves and discover what our passion is, we’ll be happy. I studied this question in the book and that’s not how it happens,” Cal said. “Passion comes later.”
First you have to “become so good you can’t be ignored…”
1. Start with an interest
Steve Martin reinvented stand-up. He told jokes without punchlines. And let the tension linger. He didn’t start with a passion for comedy.
You start with an interest.
I never thought, “Interviewing prostitutes at 3 a.m. is my passion.” But I got good at it.
I was curious.
And I’m still asking questions today.
2. Build career capital
Cal did a study. He found a database developer who became too good to be ignored. And used that as leverage.
“She got into the computer industry with no background. At every stage, she said, ‘What would be valuable here?’”
Now she spends 4-6 months working in her cubicle job. And the other 4-6 months in Thailand.
Acquire career capital. And leverage it. This is how you get autonomy in the workplace.
“It’s what lets you get a sense of mastery,” Cal said. “It’s what makes you get a sense of impact, and this is where passion actually comes from.”
3. Focus on rare and valuable skills
The first food truck was a pretzel stand. It had wheels and food.
Now Michelin-star chefs have food trucks and pop-up shops. They didn’t learn how to make pretzels. Or follow the trend. They used rare and valuable skills to innovate the market.
I built websites in the ‘90s. That was my first company. But as soon as I heard my eighth-grade sister was learning coding in school, I sold the company.
Coding was no longer rare and valuable. And competition was about to explode.
Control competition and you’ll control the market.
4. Get to the cutting edge of an industry
Mastery leads to passion, not the other way around.
You weren’t “born” to invent the next iPhone. Nobody was. Even the people inventing the next iPhone weren’t born to invent the next iPhone.
“Innovations don’t come at the very start of your journey.”
You have to get to the cutting edge, learn what’s missing, identify room for growth and innovate.
5. Do deep work
Deep work is the process of becoming great.
“It requires hard, hard focus and pushes your skill to its limit.”
It’s what you do to become the best in your field. And discover holes in your organization. Or in the planet. It’s how you create ride-sharing, social networking, Google maps underwater.
Cal says how at [16:04]
6. Or don't... I asked Cal, “Do you think most people actually want to be really good at something…
Or do most people just want more time off to just do nothing?”
I don’t set goals -
Published on 11 Feb 2016. Listen to episode 32 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Art of Empathy: Sympathy & Understanding Others. Adapted from the book Seeing and Being by H. Clay Trumbull. Podcast Excerpt: The common belief is that, in order to come into sympathy with someone, and to like them deeply, you must first know them thoroughly and understand them as they are; but the truer truth is that, in many cases, the sympathy and liking must PRECEDE the understanding; and that the worthier one is of being loved and admired, the more difficulty there is of understanding them until you DO love them, or until in some way you come to have a feeling of kinship with them.

Published on 18 Oct 2016. I can’t tell you the secret to selling half a million books. Or half a million anything…
Every day, business changes, the world shifts on its axis and your skin peels off a little bit. New cells are generated and with each blink, your eyes are rehydrated.
“I’ll admit, if there was some formula, I’d do it again,” he said.
Without new experiences, your soul rots. And your book or product or whatever you’re trying to get rich quick off of smells like garbage.
But people will buy garbage. Because we want new experiences. Ask any child. They’ll give you an honest answer of why they like coloring or skipping rope.
“I don’t know... It’s fun?”
People wonder what they love. Instead of loving to wonder.
Chuck Klosterman grew up in a town of 500 people. He became the number one literary critique of pop culture… before the Internet. Now anyone can research anything. And you don’t have to own the Encyclopedia Britannica. Or wait for the library to be open.
A lot of people I’ve interviewed say there’s a big luck factor to success... “But I don’t think that’s as true with you,” I told Chuck.
He doesn’t believe in luck.
“The biggest factor is chance,” he said.
“What’s the difference between chance and luck?”
Luck:
“Luck almost implies like a leprechaun is, sort of somebody is making this happen.”
“In many ways, it seems like certain people are luckier than others,” he said. “I think what that really means is that when they were given chances, they elected to pursue them, as opposed to step away from them. And that kind of creates the illusion of luck.”
Luck is an open door. Chance is the willingness to step through.
When I feel stuck, I don’t create a new business overnight. I begin with a pen and a waiter’s pad. I carve out a new perspective. I write 10 ideas.
Whether the ideas are good doesn’t matter.
Reinvention, freedom and success are the results of movements.
Not the “right movements.” Just movements. Unattached, meaningless movements that hopefully fill your day and fuel your heart.
“Everything I’ve liked, I liked in totality,” Chuck said. “I wanted to almost be inside of it.”
Focus on nothing. Or everything. Let life reveal itself to you. Then you won’t need luck. Because you’ll have something much more valuable: perspective.
Skill:
When he started, Chuck needed motivation to write. Now he’s a dad. And he writes every day. “I make myself do it,” he said.
His first job was with the local newspaper in Fargo. He wrote a 16-page insert called “Rage,” meant to address Generation X.
“At the time, my hope was that, maybe, if I do a good job as a reporter and I put in the time, I’d be able to publish a book, or maybe two books in my 50s or something.”
He thought he’d work as a reporter who might have the ability or the luck or the chance...
Chance:
“There were 23 kids in my graduating class. I remember the teacher would ask questions. And nobody would say anything,” Chuck said.
But he knew the answers.
He thought everyone knew. “I just assumed everyone growing up felt this way—everybody felt very singular and alone. You had this world inside your mind. And there was the world outside of yourself where you just kind of goofed around, talked to people, and made small talk, but in your mind you had your own kind of world.”
Then Chuck went to college. “I was amazed to find a handful of people who were just like me, who listened to Mötley Crüe but also wanted to talk about it, and didn’t just want to say, ‘It rocked.’”
Connection changes your mental identity from alone to alive.
Chuck’s second book, “Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs” sold half a million copies—more than his other eight books combined.
“The only perspective I have is my own,” Chuck said. “There is the conscious ex -

Published on 28 Dec 2015. Listen to episode 17 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Secret of Financial Success (Dare to Think Big). Edited and Adapted from Three lectures on "The Laws of Financial Success" by B.F. Austin.
Podcast Excerpt: Financial success is won by those who dare to think big. Little thoughts, plans, and ideals beget little interest, little effort, little enthusiasm in the individual, and awaken little or no interest in the minds of others. The radical difference between the pop-corn vendor at the fair and the next Steve Jobs is in the size of their ideas and concepts. Pop-corn ideas beget a pop-corn life. Great ideas, projects, and enterprises rouse the soul of the individual to the effort, courage, and daring that is commensurate with grand ideas. - Daha fazla göster
