We hear it all the time- every journey starts with a single step. Often those journeys can feel like moving mountains. "The man who moves mountains begins by carrying away a small stone." But How do we prepare for the climb? Today we talk with Global Adventure and Mountaineer, John Beede, as he shares his insights and experiences. We learn that the journey is about build perspective, preparing the mind, and how to maintain stamina to endure the trip. Our paths in life offer us the chance to ground and humble us- to experience the “Quiet Ego”. The Loudest Lion Never Roars. How are we all being humble lions? Are we showing courage and vulnerability? What paths are we following throughout life? What paths are we being guided towards? We each travel a different path in life. Experience different potentials. Sometimes we have to focus our vision on a specific path. We learn that "the journey" is about build perspective, preparing the mind, and maintaining stamina to endure the trip.

Of all our greatest searching for purpose and value in life, No bigger search exists throughout humanity than our search for meaning. Celebrated psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, in his groundbreaking book “Man’s Search For Meaning” shared this insightful view: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” On today’s show we explore: Reshaping our language of struggler and fear in order to find Gratitude in our challenges. Then resisting our urge of Fight, Flight Or fear- reframing our response for The Modern World. Living Life on Your Terms- Making a conscious choice to live as a vibrant human being. Owning your inner voice in order to silence the inner critic and remove the urge to self sabotage our endeavors. Learning to separate our human traits from our evolutionary and generational patterning to order to be more aligned with the essence of our authentic self. We also look at how we can form a more responsible human evolution towards our fellow human beings, the planet and within our existence in the universe. To borrow from the great Albert Einstein quote: “The most important decision we make, the one which is most aligned within our essence, is whether we live in a friendly or hostile universe” It becomes our responsibility to then decide whether we act in harmony within our responses, creating an existence that contributes to the forward motion of creation.

Our minds are the gateway to our world. Everything we create, everything we experience- is a process of the mind. All that we feel, think and touch, all filtered through the perception of the mind.

An aligned and aware brain is a productive brain. It builds worlds.
