510. The Art of Kokoro & Whole Mind Integration

This week on The Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine once again dives into the Five Mountains of Personal Development, this time introducing listeners to the profound concept of “Kokoro”-----the integration of heart and mind into one’s actions! 

 

All while encouraging a holistic approach to living life authentically and purposefully, Mark examines the Western tendency towards constant achievement and external validation. He proposes instead a journey that prioritizes inner peace and well-being, bringing our ambitions into a state of harmony with our core values. 

 

Mark shares practical insights into connecting with our life’s purpose following the three P’s: purpose, passion, and principles—-providing tools for self-reflection that help align our life’s actions with our ultimate calling!

 

Key Takeaways:

• Kokoro: Uniting The Heart & Mind: Understand the balance between gaining and letting go. Learn how achieving one’s highest capacity involves not only striving for accomplishment, but surrendering certain beliefs. 

• Balancing Masculine & Feminine Energies: Discover the importance of balancing the West’s action oriented mindset (masculine), with a more receptive and compassionate mindset.(Feminine). 

• The Three P’s: Learn how to align your life’s calling with your core values through purpose, passion, and principles. 

• One Day, One Lifetime Philosophy: Listen as Mark advocates for living every day as if it’s your only day in order to reduce regrets and enrich your life experience.
