July 11, 2022 | By | Add a Comment

Have you ever found yourself overly invested in a person, circumstance or outcome you can’t control? Most of what we think we can influence or control is an illusion yet we naturally cling to the past or future and miss what’s unfolding in the present. This video is one of a three part series on developing greater self-mastery by deepening your understanding of your mind and sort of hacking into it to interrupt unproductive patterns such as expectations, comparisons and judgements. In this 7 minute video I talk about how dualistic thinking dominates our mind and how to step off the emotional roller coaster ride created by our attachments and expectations and live in the flow of the present.

The Problem with Success

I was recently a guest on a podcast called A Day in a Canoe.   This show was created by Nathan Mersereau, a YPO member and owner of Planning Alternatives https://www.planningalt.com/, a Midwest wealth management firm. Nathan interviews people with whom he would look forward to spending a day in a canoe.  Like me, Nathan is committed to helping his clients make more than just money.

Check out our 16-minute conversation and learn why many high achievers miss the mark and focus on things that lead them away from what they want the most.

Looks like an earlier video did not contain audio – please try this one. Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In the space is the power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. –Victor Frankl, Neurologist, psychologist, and Holocaust survivor When we project onto others we make up stories about them. As a result, we miss seeing the whole person. Projecting creates disappointment, resentment, and disconnection. In this 6 minute video, I describe a 3 step process I call “The Flip” that you can use to interrupt your patterns of projecting and experience greater equanimity and peace. Don’t miss my inside look at a new technology I am calling the “Equanimity Generator” […]

What could go wrong amid a growing economy, rising asset prices, and increasing incomes and net worths? I’m not sure humans know how to say “enough”.

In this 8 minute video, I identify two reasons we struggle with abundance and two strategies that we can use to feel more fulfilled.
