It is so easy to fall into the trap of materialism. The attraction is all around us. But it is now believed that by minimizing attachment to material possessions, you naturally allow more room for happiness and abundance to flow into your life, instead of greed, apathy, and ego. John explains how he fell into the materialism trap and why it eventually led to depression, anxiety, apathy, and a failure to live intentionally. He goes into the psychology of materialism and how social media and the people we surround ourselves with influence our beliefs and behaviors. He discusses in this video why you need to focus on the intangibles in life if you want to have success, happiness, and good health. New to this channel and the passion-struck podcast?

John R. Miles discusses why it is so vital that you stop hiding the true you. It's an episode that is core to why he started the Passion Struck movement. In the podcast, John will explain why he believes so many today hide behind a mask we wear that hides who we are and the superpower we are meant to bring to the world. Instead of living an intentional life, we live a life in a shroud of pretense.  New to this channel and the passion-struck podcast?
