20 Comments

We talk about letting go of the deeper, emotional attachments we have in our life in this second part of a two-part episode.

From sentimental attachments to people. The main focus of this episode is about the romantic relationships we can have trouble letting go of.

This is a deep and complex episode, and there are so many ways to approach this sensitive topic. But if you can get beyond the attachments that are holding you back and keeping you down, you will have a deeply fulfilling and happy life.

Letting Go of Attachments Part 1

letting go of attachmentsLetting go of attachments was one of the most powerful processes I’ve ever done in my life, in the sense that it has created the most impactful, positive changes.

In fact, I’d go as far as saying that even if you have never listened to any episode before this and never listen to any episode after this, you will still walk away with the secret to happiness and fulfillment in life. You can’t say that about too many things. [Read more…]

Achieving Fulfillment Through the 6 Human Needs

Leave a Comment

Do you love what you do? If not, do you feel significant doing it? How about growth and contribution? I talk about how I enjoy what I do because it fulfills all 6 of the human needs Anthony Robbins talks about.

When you can fulfill all of your human needs in your job, hobby, or relationship, you will have an incredibly fulfilling life.

Anthony Robbins talks about the 6 human needs. From his research and exploration of human behavior, he has come up with these needs that every person has in their life. They are Love and Connection, Certainty, Uncertainty or Variety, Significance, Growth, and Contribution. Tony says that we prioritize the ones we need most too. For example, someone might need more love and connection than variety. Someone else may need to feel significant more than the need to be a contributor. [Read more…]

Vulnerability Can Be a Place of Strength

Many people believe that being vulnerable is a place of weakness or being fragile. Now, I will say that when you open your heart to someone, that is a vulnerable place. Because you are trusting that person with the most precious part of you. You let that person into your personal space. They are inside your castle walls, as I like to call them, and they could honor you and worship you, or they could crush you and steal all of your gold.

So being vulnerable involves trust. When you voluntarily choose to be vulnerable around someone, that is the ultimate in trust. It’s like when a cat lays on his back to show you his belly. He trusts you completely, and is confident that you won’t betray that trust.

This week’s episode covers the very powerful topic of forgiveness. How powerful is it? Well, some people live with the pain of not forgiving someone their entire life. The thought of letting someone get away with something, or admitting that they are over something, or whatever, can override ones desire to move on and be happy with life.

We’re going to talk about forgiveness today. What is it, really? Is it telling someone else, “You were right, and I was wrong”? Is it showing another person that what they did was forgivable? Is it something else entirely? [Read more…]
