In episode 006 of the Mind Shift Podcast, we dive deep into the realm of genius and what it looks like to have effortless excellence. The magic of artistry and genius is not just to witness, but to fully absorb, becoming a part of one's very essence. Drawing inspiration from our recent trip to Copenhagen to visit the incredible “Nova” as well as Jeff Gordinier "Hungry" book, we underline the idea that true genius does not shy away from other genius. Instead, it embraces, transforms, and evolves from such encounters. The language of excellence isn't confined to mere words; it is seen in actions, emotions, and the tangible world. We explore the idea of individuals who exude such mastery in their fields that even amidst chaos, they appear to be gracefully floating. Pondering on the nature of beauty and how it transcends to become sacred, we dive deep into turning ordinary experiences into extraordinary ones. How can one take the mundane aspects of life, sprinkle it with imagination, and turn it into an inspiring tale not just for oneself, but for everyone around? Life is a frequency unique to every individual. By tapping into this frequency, we connect with others, discovering beauty in the simplest of things, like flowers on a mountain's edge. The ultimate message? Life is an adventure, enriched by the memories we create and share with people that truly matter to us.

We explore the dangers of society's expectation for us to live grandiose lives filled with lofty dreams and goals, often leading to overreaching and over-projection. Contrarily, we discuss how community cultures can lead to a better understanding of ourselves. In this episode, we critically assess the impact of traditions and their potential to divert our focus away from building the future we want. We emphasize the importance of understanding the driving forces behind our actions—our 'whys.' We discuss how I found my own 'why' and its transformational effect on my life. Sharing from personal experience, Erwin recount's how he established his life's mission statement three decades ago, seeking to be a voice of hope in a world seemingly drowning in hopelessness. Furthermore, we provide guidance on finding one's 'why' and the power it holds in giving our lives a gravitational core. We underscore that the 'why' can be found in what makes us feel most alive, what we cannot stop doing regardless of remuneration. Finally, we discuss the importance of elevating people's thinking, dispelling cliches and superstitions, and shedding light on dark thoughts. Tune in as we navigate the future together.

Do you feel like a lucky person? Do you want to increase your luck? Do you even believe in the idea of luck? Life opens doors when you make the right choices at the right time - some people call it luck, others favor or karma or many other things. I believe you can "make your own luck" through opportunities, relationships, and continuous learning. In this episode of the Mind Shift podcast, we discuss how life opens doors when you make right choices at the right time, enhancing your 'luck quotient'. We explore the close connection between luck and the people we invest our love and care in, underlining the significance of community and relationships in shaping our lives. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and lessons from my grandfather, we unravel the concept of being a "thought sommelier" and how an education that teaches the mind to think can create an effortless flow of luck, characterized by meeting extraordinary people and having beautiful experiences. The concept of "trusting the form," where one can gain ten times the outcome with a tenth of the effort, is elucidated in-depth, as is the role of continuous learning and self-improvement in generating luck. This episode confronts fear as an inhibitive factor that can prevent us from reaching our full potential and limit our luck. Reject fear and embrace their potential to improve their life and luck. When you make right choices the moment you know they are right - it’s amazing how life begins to move in your favor.

In this episode of the Mind Shift podcast, we delve headfirst into the murky waters of fear in a conversation titled "Reprogramming Fear". We expose fear for what it is - an unseen yet present force that stands between us and the life we're destined to live. Fear cages us in our comfort zones and drowns the spark of potential within us, but we've got the power to change that narrative. Fear is just faith distorted. It's faith that's been twisted into projecting not hope but despair, not potential but failure. We are hardwired for faith - faith being the bridge that takes us from the mystery of the unknown to the familiarity of the known. The unknown is where every great thing that's waiting to happen in your life resides. But fear steals the energy that's meant to fuel our faith. It taints our worldview, our perception of God, and even our faith, filling us with a debilitating paranoia that we're alone against a world that's conspiring against us. This episode peels back the layers on the duality within us. We're creatures of conflict, housing two voices that are at war with each other. One voice is the champion of our soul, proclaiming our worthiness, rooting for us to claim the good that's meant for us. The other voice is the prophet of doom, whispering doubts, telling us we're not ready, not deserving. I'll share a raw truth with you: "I became proof of my own fears." We've got to recognize that we're the ones giving life to these fears. But here's the good news. We're not doomed to this fate. We've got the power of choice. We can choose faith over fear, we can choose to become masters of ourselves. The key to 'reprogramming fear' is to change our actions to change our minds. It's about getting up and getting it done, not just planning or dreaming. It's about putting our words into action, not just talking the talk but walking the walk. This will not only foster personal growth but also earn the trust and confidence of others, which in turn inspires us to live life in its true sense - full, fearless, and free.

Time is perceived differently by people who have urgency. When you lack urgency, time just flies. It just moves faster than you can keep up with. One of the things that people say to me all the time is, you seem so calm. You seem to have an incredible sense of peace or calm, even when there's a crisis. That is because I live my life with urgency. Time is never moving to me faster than I'm moving. When you have urgency, you're moving faster than time. A lot of times crisis become urgent because it's a cris. But there are other things that are in life that are super important and you have to bring the urgency to it because it's not a crisis. And let's say, for instance, it's not a crisis that I don't work out today, but it might be urgent because if I don't work out, it will become a crisis with my health. And so the challenge sometimes is that it seems that crisis is the only way many people are motivated. But if you have urgency, you do not need a crisis to live your life doing the important things. Urgency has to be an internal driver.

It is easier to become smart than to become wise. People think you're wise because you're smart and you can outsmart a lack of wisdom. When you're running on your intelligence without wisdom, it's like running down a mountain and having an avalanche behind you. It will catch up with you eventually. You can survive on being a good communicator, having a lot of charisma and engaging people in sales. But if you don't have character, it's the crux of the other three. It won't matter how good your communication is or how great of a leader you are, without character, your company will collapse. Most people who are highly focused on scaling are really oftentimes blind to sustaining. Join us for this episode as we dive into the heart of character, kindness, and wisdom. Learn about integrating integrity, authenticity, and wisdom into our professional pursuits, equipping you to build a legacy that leaves an indelible mark on the world. Thank you for watching. We appreciate you!
