Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:00:10

experience. I'm so happy to be spending some time with you

Unknown: 00:00:14

today. And very excited to be sharing an interview with mouse.

Unknown: 00:00:21

He wants to share his story how he was stuck in pain and misery

Unknown: 00:00:27

and depression for so long. But then got out of it step by step

Unknown: 00:00:32

and is now living a life where he attracts more and more people

Unknown: 00:00:37

that are in alignment with him. He has a job that fulfills them

Unknown: 00:00:42

and make him feel really good. He's able to help people when it

Unknown: 00:00:47

comes to their finances. And yeah, was able to get out of the

Unknown: 00:00:54

struggle. And I reached out to him, because I feel it's very

Unknown: 00:01:01

valuable to hear stories like that, especially when you are

Unknown: 00:01:06

still stuck in pain and misery. Or if you feel better, but you

Unknown: 00:01:10

want to find like minded people. This is what my platform is

Unknown: 00:01:16

about. I'm all about showcasing or Yeah, picking out guys that I

Unknown: 00:01:24

feel are awesome role models, people that if I had kids, I

Unknown: 00:01:29

want them to look up to. There's too many bullies and aggression

Unknown: 00:01:34

out there who are in power and in focusing and putting our

Unknown: 00:01:39

attention on. Good guys. So to say guys who went through

Unknown: 00:01:44

hardship, and are living from the heart now, I feel we can

Unknown: 00:01:50

make this world a better place. So here we go, mouse. It's your

Unknown: 00:01:56

show from now on. And, yeah, share your story with us where

Unknown: 00:02:01

it all began.

Unknown: 00:02:04

Sure. I mean, first of all, thanks for having me. It's

Unknown: 00:02:06

awesome. I've listened to a couple of your podcasts. And I

Unknown: 00:02:09

really liked them so far. So appreciate you having me on

Unknown: 00:02:12

today. So I'm looking forward to spending some time with you.

Unknown: 00:02:16

So I guess we'll start

Unknown: 00:02:18

a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. I grew up in a

Unknown: 00:02:23

mall town of 600 people, so v ry small hick town, farmer

Unknown: 00:02:28

own.

Unknown: 00:02:31

And I, you know, had a really good growing up, but you know,

Unknown: 00:02:34

nothing too bad or nothing like that. I played lots of sports

Unknown: 00:02:38

and hockey, you know, lots of outdoor activities, all that

Unknown: 00:02:42

good stuff. up to the age of 16. You know, I got into

Unknown: 00:02:46

skateboarding and snowboarding. So I kind of quit hockey, I had

Unknown: 00:02:49

some, you know, issues there. I was always picked on in high

Unknown: 00:02:51

school. You know, I was the skateboarder kid in town, or you

Unknown: 00:02:56

know, people that were you know, had money or preppies, we call

Unknown: 00:02:59

them anyways. I mean, I was always nice and friendly, but I

Unknown: 00:03:02

didn't you know, I wasn't in part of that clip kind of deal.

Unknown: 00:03:04

So I was kind of like the black sheep, which was fine. I was

Unknown: 00:03:07

okay with that. I was I had a happy growing, growing up all

Unknown: 00:03:10

that good stuff. And then, when I was 18, you know, I decided to

Unknown: 00:03:14

go to go to college somewhere. And I didn't really think about

Unknown: 00:03:17

it. I just knew I was really good with numbers. I did really

Unknown: 00:03:20

well in high school, I was an honor student in most classes,

Unknown: 00:03:24

and really good with numbers and stuff like that. And I like to

Unknown: 00:03:27

draw, not that I was an artist, but no drawing on the computer

Unknown: 00:03:31

and drafting and stuff like that. So I was interested in

Unknown: 00:03:34

that. So I went jumped straight into high college from high

Unknown: 00:03:38

school, went to Nate and Edmonton and I took design

Unknown: 00:03:41

adopting engineering. And I got a job as a mechanical engineer,

Unknown: 00:03:45

technologist. And later on I you know, I did that for 16 years,

Unknown: 00:03:48

and I became a professional technologist. So that was great,

Unknown: 00:03:52

but we'll go jump back a bit there to my younger years. So

Unknown: 00:03:56

you know, when I moved to Edmonton, I actually got really,

Unknown: 00:03:58

really good at snowboarding. And I got recognized. So I got a

Unknown: 00:04:02

couple store sponsors within Edmonton, you know, I go to all

Unknown: 00:04:05

the contests, jump contests and handrail contests in Edmonton,

Unknown: 00:04:09

and then I would probably get the top five every time. One

Unknown: 00:04:13

year I actually went every single contest I went in, which

Unknown: 00:04:15

was pretty cool.

Unknown: 00:04:17

I went into some contests in Jasper and ferny and Lake

Unknown: 00:04:20

Louise, those areas I placed first tied for second and third.

Unknown: 00:04:27

And some of those so like I said, I was I had a really

Unknown: 00:04:29

successful career, you know, snowboarding and it was really

Unknown: 00:04:32

fun, but you know, it didn't pay the bills. So I always had my

Unknown: 00:04:35

serious career as a mechanical engineer, technologist. And

Unknown: 00:04:41

things are going great. You know, I was having a good time

Unknown: 00:04:43

in my young 20s I go to the bar, I'd meet lots of people. I spent

Unknown: 00:04:47

a lot of time on the bar. I won't lie. But you know, I

Unknown: 00:04:51

played a lot of pool so I wouldn't go to the bar to drink

Unknown: 00:04:53

and party I'd go to play pool pretty much but I went a lot so

Unknown: 00:04:56

I did end up getting really good that pool and I play in a pool

Unknown: 00:04:58

league right now as well.

Unknown: 00:05:00

But I, you know, my young 20s I had a great life, you know, I

Unknown: 00:05:03

was unstoppable, felt undefeated, I was, you know,

Unknown: 00:05:06

great health, um, and life was good. And then, you know, I fell

Unknown: 00:05:11

in love with a girl younger.

Unknown: 00:05:14

That didn't turn out how heartbroken I was. I'm a very

Unknown: 00:05:16

emotional reactive person. So you know, I wear my heart on my

Unknown: 00:05:19

sleeve. So I had my heart broken at a young age. And then around

Unknown: 00:05:23

age 25, I had another girl that I fell in love with, that didn't

Unknown: 00:05:26

turn out very well. And I mean, some friends got involved, and

Unknown: 00:05:30

it was not a good situation. So I kind of stepped away from from

Unknown: 00:05:34

dating.

Unknown: 00:05:35

And then, you know, a couple years later, like, 1015 years

Unknown: 00:05:38

later, I reconnected with a girl. And we started dating

Unknown: 00:05:42

again, and she had a child and she's someone I really liked

Unknown: 00:05:45

beforehand. It just didn't work out. So I gave her a second try.

Unknown: 00:05:49

Um, this happened around 2015 when oil crashed.

Unknown: 00:05:54

So I ended up by, you know, mean her data for two years. And it

Unknown: 00:05:59

didn't end very well, you know, she was that type of person. I'm

Unknown: 00:06:02

not, no, I don't want to sit here and badmouth anybody, it

Unknown: 00:06:04

just, she just wasn't a good person to me or anything in my

Unknown: 00:06:08

life. She was very

Unknown: 00:06:11

negative, and kind of, I don't know, like I said, I don't want

Unknown: 00:06:15

to bad mouth here. But after that relationship, you know, I

Unknown: 00:06:18

was heartbroken. And I kind of think I had some type of post

Unknown: 00:06:22

traumatic stress syndrome come from that, because anytime I met

Unknown: 00:06:25

a girl, like, four months later, I met a girl and I just I get

Unknown: 00:06:30

bad anxiety to my stomach. And I start to feel like throwing up

Unknown: 00:06:35

and stuff, and I got to get out of that situation. So I didn't

Unknown: 00:06:38

handle dating very well. So I just stayed single, because the

Unknown: 00:06:42

best way to avoid drama is staying single. I mean, I I've

Unknown: 00:06:45

always wanted to fall in love. But I found the pain of having

Unknown: 00:06:49

my heart broken was way worse than any love I've ever felt. So

Unknown: 00:06:52

to me, being single and staying away from girls, maybe hobby, if

Unknown: 00:06:58

I, if I, you know, became happy, learn to be happy with myself

Unknown: 00:07:03

being single. And you know, I've always liked being with a girl

Unknown: 00:07:05

like my ex girlfriend, like we were together every single day,

Unknown: 00:07:08

we were best friends. And that was great. But the pain of you

Unknown: 00:07:12

know, not her not wanting me ever again kind of deal and her

Unknown: 00:07:15

moving on and stuff. I just couldn't handle it. Um, at that

Unknown: 00:07:18

time, the oil crashed, and I was laid off after 16 years with my

Unknown: 00:07:22

job. So I wasn't in a very good emotional state.

Unknown: 00:07:28

Our economy in Alberta was the worst it's ever been since I've

Unknown: 00:07:31

ever been alive.

Unknown: 00:07:33

We've had some bad times. But this is the worst because I went

Unknown: 00:07:36

two years for searching for a job and couldn't find nothing in

Unknown: 00:07:39

life. You

Unknown: 00:07:40

know, I even look for work in other fields. But because of my

Unknown: 00:07:45

experience, and the wage I was working before and my workflow

Unknown: 00:07:48

background, you know, they were saying, why do we hire you if

Unknown: 00:07:51

you're just going to jump back into the oil when it picks up?

Unknown: 00:07:53

Because that was the thought going around? Right?

Unknown: 00:07:57

So I couldn't find a job for two years. So I mean, I did leave

Unknown: 00:08:00

with a severance package for my job. You know, I was debt free,

Unknown: 00:08:03

financially good. I had a mortgage and a nice car. But I

Unknown: 00:08:07

couldn't find work for two years, I got a nice severance

Unknown: 00:08:09

package. So I use this smartly. I was always good with money.

Unknown: 00:08:12

And finances. Like I said, I was debt free. And then during that

Unknown: 00:08:16

two years of not working, I you know, I was looking for work, I

Unknown: 00:08:19

sent over 200 job applications probably had about 12 or 13

Unknown: 00:08:24

interviews, maybe things just weren't going my way. So I

Unknown: 00:08:27

pretty much spent two years doing nothing but saving money

Unknown: 00:08:32

looking for work. And I'm staying away from people I just

Unknown: 00:08:34

I wasn't very sociable anymore. I was that type of person, I'd

Unknown: 00:08:38

love to see my friends and family, I would talk my ear off.

Unknown: 00:08:42

Whenever I see them. I was just that social, sociable type of

Unknown: 00:08:45

person. But those years when I was when I had a heartbreak and

Unknown: 00:08:49

loss, my joy just didn't feel like talking to anybody. So I

Unknown: 00:08:52

became a hermit. And I mean, which was great because you

Unknown: 00:08:55

know, it was gave me time to heal. Although, you know, my

Unknown: 00:08:58

finances kind of dwindle, I start going into debt, because I

Unknown: 00:09:01

couldn't find work. And life just I didn't know what to do.

Unknown: 00:09:05

Um, I wasn't like too concerned about it. But I knew I wasn't

Unknown: 00:09:08

heading in the right direction. So I started looking at other

Unknown: 00:09:10

opportunities. And my mom was helping me out. She works in

Unknown: 00:09:14

finance. She's a bookkeeper. And she came across this one ad for

Unknown: 00:09:20

a finance career. And she wanted to check it out. And before she

Unknown: 00:09:25

sat down with them and found out what it was all about, she

Unknown: 00:09:28

invited me to come.

Unknown: 00:09:30

So I went check it out. And it was a financial broker,

Unknown: 00:09:33

financial advisor, and to be 100% honest, so with my

Unknown: 00:09:38

engineering career of 16 years, probably after about eight or 10

Unknown: 00:09:42

years, I started thinking like, do I really want to be doing

Unknown: 00:09:44

engineering the same job for the rest of my life? Like I didn't

Unknown: 00:09:47

get a promotion, I kept getting, you know, more money, more

Unknown: 00:09:49

responsibility, but I pretty much did the exact same job for

Unknown: 00:09:52

16 years. So I was getting old.

Unknown: 00:09:55

You know, what am I going to do with my life and I mean, I

Unknown: 00:09:58

wasn't looking

Unknown: 00:10:00

changed, I was just having these thoughts and I, you know,

Unknown: 00:10:02

started the dream, what would I like to do, if I ever found the

Unknown: 00:10:05

ideal job, and I've always liked helping people like meeting and

Unknown: 00:10:08

talking to people. So I came up with an idea to start a company

Unknown: 00:10:12

like Google.

Unknown: 00:10:14

So instead of you typing in searching for things, you could

Unknown: 00:10:16

just call me. You know,

Unknown: 00:10:20

if I knew a plumber, or I knew, you know, I had so much

Unknown: 00:10:24

experience in my life, you know, driving around the city, the

Unknown: 00:10:26

fastest way to get here, there, I always thought it would be a

Unknown: 00:10:28

good idea that I could, you know, if someone wanted any type

Unknown: 00:10:32

of advice, like, they could call me, but, you know, I was just

Unknown: 00:10:34

daydreaming kind of deal. Um, and then, you know, I got laid

Unknown: 00:10:38

off, which was, to me, it was the best thing ever, I felt like

Unknown: 00:10:41

this big weight lifted off me because I knew I was getting a

Unknown: 00:10:43

severance package. And I wasn't sure if this was the job or, or

Unknown: 00:10:47

type of career I wanted to do for the rest of my life. And I

Unknown: 00:10:51

found out shortly after that, that that job that I was with

Unknown: 00:10:54

for 16 years, you know, the oil industry was a very poisonous

Unknown: 00:10:57

atmosphere, very negative.

Unknown: 00:10:59

But I didn't realize that I didn't know I always thought I

Unknown: 00:11:01

was a positive person. But you know, at that point, people

Unknown: 00:11:05

started saying that I was being a little bit negative, and I

Unknown: 00:11:07

didn't know, you know, didn't know what's going on. So

Unknown: 00:11:09

anyways, whenever I found this new career, and I thought it was

Unknown: 00:11:12

great, because it actually had a lot of the ideas in place that I

Unknown: 00:11:15

wanted to do when I was brainstorming at my old job.

Unknown: 00:11:19

With my new financial job, you know, I'd cover many areas in

Unknown: 00:11:21

finance. Um, you know, like, I do so many different things that

Unknown: 00:11:26

I'm kind of like your one stop shop for everything financial.

Unknown: 00:11:29

So now, I had that idea of giving people advice. If they

Unknown: 00:11:33

needed something, they could just call me. Now I am that

Unknown: 00:11:36

person. They need advice on anything financial, you know,

Unknown: 00:11:39

I'm an expert now, so I can help them, which is great. But

Unknown: 00:11:42

another part of my business, too, is meeting people

Unknown: 00:11:44

networking. So I just like meeting other people, not

Unknown: 00:11:48

necessarily for business, but just to make connections, but by

Unknown: 00:11:51

making connections with other people's and their businesses.

Unknown: 00:11:55

When I talk to a client and say, I'm sitting down doing some

Unknown: 00:11:57

finances, but I never say Oh, your your kitchen isn't

Unknown: 00:12:00

finished, what are you doing or doing some renovations, like,

Unknown: 00:12:03

Hey, you know what I know a guy that can help you. And so that

Unknown: 00:12:06

idea of being the go to person helping people out was just,

Unknown: 00:12:11

this is just awesome. So I've really loved my career. I've

Unknown: 00:12:14

been doing it for almost four years now. Now another thing

Unknown: 00:12:17

about this career that I like is it provided a very positive

Unknown: 00:12:20

motivational atmosphere 100% 180% different are no 180

Unknown: 00:12:25

degrees different from my engineering job. And the

Unknown: 00:12:28

negative poisonous environment. This is you know, you bring

Unknown: 00:12:31

people up honestly, if you're not our office, and nobody high

Unknown: 00:12:34

fives you within five minutes is weird. Like, that's the type of

Unknown: 00:12:37

positivity people always happy to see, you know, if you need

Unknown: 00:12:41

help people there. So just being getting out of the bar scene

Unknown: 00:12:45

hanging out with a lot of those acquaintances, I thought were my

Unknown: 00:12:48

friends. You know, they were not necessarily driving me down, but

Unknown: 00:12:52

they weren't really serving me any greater purpose. Now, with

Unknown: 00:12:55

my new career, you know, I'm hanging out with very successful

Unknown: 00:12:58

people, people with dreams, people, visions, people that

Unknown: 00:13:00

want to make a difference in the world. I started realizing, hey,

Unknown: 00:13:05

you know, that was how I used to think. So now, no, being just

Unknown: 00:13:10

around different associations was first step for me of healing

Unknown: 00:13:13

and being better. Now, I just, you know, I had a place to be I

Unknown: 00:13:17

belonged, I was starting to get happy, I was actually, you know,

Unknown: 00:13:21

I tell this within my company all the time, you know, I've

Unknown: 00:13:23

changed my life. I've been happier now than I've ever been

Unknown: 00:13:27

in my entire life, which is awesome.

Unknown: 00:13:29

But that's only part of it. So within my company, you know,

Unknown: 00:13:33

we're always developing and looking or looking for good

Unknown: 00:13:35

people. Because we want to develop leaders, you know,

Unknown: 00:13:38

people to be role models, or, you know, if you're going to be

Unknown: 00:13:42

running a business and running a team of people, you've got to

Unknown: 00:13:45

be, you know, a very good person of credibility, you know,

Unknown: 00:13:48

integrity, all that good stuff. So personal development within

Unknown: 00:13:52

my company is highly recommended. So we do lots of

Unknown: 00:13:54

classes, lots of teaching, you know, recommendations on stuff

Unknown: 00:13:57

like that. So I got into personal loans. So first of all,

Unknown: 00:14:01

I hated to read books, I hated reading period.

Unknown: 00:14:05

So reading books tend to struggle. So I didn't do that

Unknown: 00:14:08

for the first couple of years of my business. Um, they kept

Unknown: 00:14:11

bugging me and I kept saying, Oh, I get it all. But I said,

Unknown: 00:14:15

the reading aspect, so I didn't do it, you know. And then

Unknown: 00:14:18

finally, I started finding books that I wanted to read, not

Unknown: 00:14:22

necessarily, you know, the act of reading, but the stuff in the

Unknown: 00:14:26

books that I'm going to learn and I started to like that a lot

Unknown: 00:14:28

more than the actual act of reading. So now I like reading a

Unknown: 00:14:32

little bit better. Like I was painfully I'd read 10 pages and

Unknown: 00:14:35

probably an hour, an hour and a half, because I kind of have a

Unknown: 00:14:37

little bit of ADHD maybe a little bit. So I read a couple

Unknown: 00:14:40

pages and forget what I was thinking. So that's why I've

Unknown: 00:14:42

never liked reading. But now that I'm liking the information

Unknown: 00:14:45

I'm reading about and taking it in, I'm starting to really like

Unknown: 00:14:50

reading. So I've been reading a lot of personal development

Unknown: 00:14:53

books, a lot to do with my business, my industry, but a lot

Unknown: 00:14:57

of it has to do with mindset, too.

Unknown: 00:15:00

Our company, we don't just help people with lifestyle or with

Unknown: 00:15:02

finances, we help them with lifestyle. So you know, if if

Unknown: 00:15:07

they aren't eating healthier stuff like that, you know,

Unknown: 00:15:09

that's the type of stuff we don't, you know, we are not paid

Unknown: 00:15:11

to do that. But that's the type of lifestyle that we're,

Unknown: 00:15:16

what's it called, that's the type of lifestyle they want us

Unknown: 00:15:18

to have. Because it doesn't, you know, you're not happier when

Unknown: 00:15:20

you eat healthier, and all that good stuff. So, you know, I

Unknown: 00:15:23

started reading books and getting better at that. And then

Unknown: 00:15:27

I read a couple books that changed my life.

Unknown: 00:15:30

There they are books by Dr. Joe dispenza.

Unknown: 00:15:34

The ones called becoming supernatural. So read them in

Unknown: 00:15:38

the wrong order. I read becoming supernatural. And I'm now on a

Unknown: 00:15:41

book called breaking the habit of being yourself.

Unknown: 00:15:45

And they talk about it's the science behind meditation and

Unknown: 00:15:49

why it works. Which was awesome. You know, I always thought

Unknown: 00:15:52

meditation like and I'm not religious, I don't really

Unknown: 00:15:55

believe in spiritual stuff. Although I've had weird

Unknown: 00:15:58

encounters, where now I'm starting to believe it, but in

Unknown: 00:16:01

these books, explains the science behind them. And I'm a

Unknown: 00:16:04

science and numbers guy. So it relates a lot to me. So now I

Unknown: 00:16:06

understand, you know why meditation works. And all this

Unknown: 00:16:09

stuff, I started to be more aware of my brain is changing my

Unknown: 00:16:15

mindset, and a different person. In doing so with reading his

Unknown: 00:16:20

books, he teaches you how you can become trapped in a past

Unknown: 00:16:23

present loop, meaning you're letting your your past emotions

Unknown: 00:16:27

and memories influenced the way you feel now, and that manifests

Unknown: 00:16:32

some of the same stuff in the future. So if you're negative

Unknown: 00:16:35

attitude, you're gonna manifest negative stuff, it's because

Unknown: 00:16:37

you're trapped in a kind of tight, weird loop. So I started

Unknown: 00:16:41

to understand that and started to, you know, learn the science

Unknown: 00:16:43

behind why that happens, I'm not going to go into too much

Unknown: 00:16:47

detail, because there's a lot to it. It could be confusing, but

Unknown: 00:16:50

you know, just first step is being aware. So the kind of some

Unknown: 00:16:57

summarize, or kind of what I got from these couple books so far,

Unknown: 00:17:02

is

Unknown: 00:17:04

once you become aware of what you're thinking and what you're

Unknown: 00:17:08

doing, you can actually control your future, you can control how

Unknown: 00:17:12

you're going to feel so the way that it works is most people

Unknown: 00:17:15

live in survival mode. They're not aware that you know, their

Unknown: 00:17:19

brain is so powerful, they just live on survival instincts.

Unknown: 00:17:22

Survival Mode is what it's called. It's you know, that's

Unknown: 00:17:25

living with your past memories, emotions being attached to your

Unknown: 00:17:29

past, and all that stuff. So what it does is it changes your,

Unknown: 00:17:33

your circuitry in your body to do the same, some of the same

Unknown: 00:17:37

that you did in the past. So now that you're now that I'm aware

Unknown: 00:17:41

of my mindset, and that I can actually break these habits of

Unknown: 00:17:45

being my old self, I can learn how to create a new future.

Unknown: 00:17:50

So just being happy. You know, gratitude. Meditation has been

Unknown: 00:17:53

wonders for me. And I, like not lying at all. I started

Unknown: 00:17:57

meditating in November, and I seen instant results in my life.

Unknown: 00:18:00

I started attracting good things in my life. I was had that

Unknown: 00:18:03

mindset for years where I thought, you know, this world

Unknown: 00:18:06

sucks. Why is everything bad always happened to me? Stuff

Unknown: 00:18:10

like that. I was like, not that I was a victim. It was more

Unknown: 00:18:13

like, why'd Why am I living in life in hardmode.

Unknown: 00:18:17

And I just had those thoughts. But now after starting

Unknown: 00:18:20

meditating, I'm starting to learn how to manifest and bring

Unknown: 00:18:23

good things into my life. And things are starting to roll

Unknown: 00:18:25

really well now. So like I said, My business is way better than

Unknown: 00:18:29

it's ever been, and we happier than I've ever been. And I'm

Unknown: 00:18:32

just so grateful for all the books that I have read. And you

Unknown: 00:18:35

know, I'm looking forward to the books I'm going to read. I'm

Unknown: 00:18:38

looking forward to meeting my future self, because I know now

Unknown: 00:18:40

that I'm on the right path now that I've learned how to dream

Unknown: 00:18:43

again, how to, you know, have a vision and goals for the future,

Unknown: 00:18:46

I'm going to achieve them and now I feel you know,

Unknown: 00:18:48

unstoppable, I feel happier, more in control of my life than

Unknown: 00:18:52

I've ever been. And it's great. You know, the biggest thing

Unknown: 00:18:56

about having a good life is you got to be you got to be thankful

Unknown: 00:19:00

you got up gratitude, you have to project happy thoughts in

Unknown: 00:19:03

your brain, you got to kind of force yourself to be happy. Does

Unknown: 00:19:06

that tell you break your phone can be native, once you start

Unknown: 00:19:09

getting into the habit of that, you know, you'll be happier,

Unknown: 00:19:12

life will get better. But you got to continually work on it.

Unknown: 00:19:15

It's not something you can leave because if you let your life go

Unknown: 00:19:18

back to autopilot, you know, you'll pull back to those same

Unknown: 00:19:21

things. You always have to you know, put effort into being

Unknown: 00:19:23

happy, being positive, make a difference in the world. You

Unknown: 00:19:27

know, you can't just make yourself be happy, but you can

Unknown: 00:19:29

prepare yourself for the day. So my meditations I do them first

Unknown: 00:19:32

thing in the morning.

Unknown: 00:19:34

I'm very reactive person. So what my meditations helped me do

Unknown: 00:19:38

is all are first of all, you know, think about things in the

Unknown: 00:19:41

future. I want to be healthy in the future. Be grateful for the

Unknown: 00:19:44

future I'm going to have but also it prepares me for the day.

Unknown: 00:19:49

So, you know if I got to drive somewhere and be like, Oh,

Unknown: 00:19:52

great, I gotta go into city traffic. Someone's going to cut

Unknown: 00:19:56

me off. I'm going to get road rage and get mad. You know, so I

Unknown: 00:19:59

prepared

Unknown: 00:20:00

myself for the day, you know, negative things are gonna

Unknown: 00:20:01

happen, just be happy, don't worry about it. And now you

Unknown: 00:20:04

know, I'm a little bit less carefree if I go driving, I'm

Unknown: 00:20:07

you know, instead of giving that guy a finger, I'll be like, Oh,

Unknown: 00:20:09

he must be having a bad day. And oh, wait, you know what, you

Unknown: 00:20:12

just change your mindset. Because once you change your

Unknown: 00:20:14

mindset, your life starts falling through with the same

Unknown: 00:20:17

stuff. So,

Unknown: 00:20:19

um, yeah, I guess that's kind of most of it.

Unknown: 00:20:24

I'm not sure if I missed anything else, or anything like

Unknown: 00:20:26

that. But yeah, that's kind of the gist of my story so far. So

Unknown: 00:20:31

this is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing all this.

Unknown: 00:20:35

And being vulnerable here with us,

Unknown: 00:20:39

is very inspiring, and empowering. And I can also see

Unknown: 00:20:44

how you're becoming more resilient with your practices.

Unknown: 00:20:49

With the experiences you attract into your life now, you will be

Unknown: 00:20:54

able to trust again and one day, soon, probably be able to open

Unknown: 00:21:00

your heart again and be open for dating, maybe not that it should

Unknown: 00:21:05

be a goal. But it can be something that you want to try

Unknown: 00:21:11

out again, and then with a different Yeah, mindset with a

Unknown: 00:21:14

different approach mindset.

Unknown: 00:21:18

Yeah.

Unknown: 00:21:22

So you talked about the books that you read that changed your

Unknown: 00:21:25

mind about meditation? How was it for your family, your family

Unknown: 00:21:30

sounds like, very supportive of you like from the beginning, but

Unknown: 00:21:36

they must have noticed the change.

Unknown: 00:21:39

I think I want to talk about

Unknown: 00:21:42

feeling lonely at times with the new part like that you have you

Unknown: 00:21:48

said acquaintances that kind of fell off? Because maybe they

Unknown: 00:21:53

couldn't relate to you anymore? Or you to them? How was it

Unknown: 00:21:57

within your family? Did they see Oh, yeah, this is what needed to

Unknown: 00:22:02

happen. And this is good, or was it scary for them at times?

Unknown: 00:22:09

Well, for them, it was more they were going through their own

Unknown: 00:22:12

stuff. So it wasn't like we were very supportive of each other.

Unknown: 00:22:15

We're like, we just weren't aware of each other.

Unknown: 00:22:19

Um, now that I live in the city, you know, I live two hours away

Unknown: 00:22:23

from most of my family, so I don't see them as much anymore.

Unknown: 00:22:27

So yeah, there's, there's not much to that they're I mean,

Unknown: 00:22:30

they're, they are doing their own struggles, and I'm trying to

Unknown: 00:22:33

help my mom my best with, you know, everything I've learned,

Unknown: 00:22:37

like when my mom is going through some stuff right now,

Unknown: 00:22:40

and I'm thinking the stuff that I'm reading right now, would do

Unknown: 00:22:43

her very well. Um,

Unknown: 00:22:45

so I'm starting to now that I read these books, and they've

Unknown: 00:22:49

changed my life. Now I want to, you know, give these books to my

Unknown: 00:22:52

families and friends who might, you know, I think might need

Unknown: 00:22:54

them and stuff. So,

Unknown: 00:22:56

yeah, yeah, that's beautiful. And everybody heals at their own

Unknown: 00:23:01

time. I know, for myself that I used to get very impatient when

Unknown: 00:23:06

I saw someone in pain, and they just didn't want to read that

Unknown: 00:23:09

book. And they just didn't want to be aware of their toxic

Unknown: 00:23:14

behavior that was kind of self destructive.

Unknown: 00:23:20

Like, we can only offer and communicate and maybe live by

Unknown: 00:23:25

example, and then see what other people do. And they will heal

Unknown: 00:23:31

and grow at their own time.

Unknown: 00:23:36

So if we think about people who are listening, who might just go

Unknown: 00:23:41

through depression, or being laid off, what is the tool? Or

Unknown: 00:23:47

what is the, like, advice, closing advice that you would

Unknown: 00:23:51

love to give them in order to not give up?

Unknown: 00:23:56

Yeah, so I mean, maybe my situation is a little bit

Unknown: 00:23:59

different from others, because I do know, you know, some mental

Unknown: 00:24:02

illnesses Can't be helped.

Unknown: 00:24:04

Some people need to go on medication and stuff. But before

Unknown: 00:24:07

you make that diagnosis, you know, check your environment,

Unknown: 00:24:10

check the people you're hanging out with which associations, you

Unknown: 00:24:12

know what, because it'll probably a lot of them are

Unknown: 00:24:14

negative,

Unknown: 00:24:15

aren't serving you any well. So first of all, check out your

Unknown: 00:24:18

association.

Unknown: 00:24:20

And then second of all, you got to be aware of

Unknown: 00:24:23

your own consciousness in this world. So what I mean by that is

Unknown: 00:24:28

you got to be aware that you're hurting or you're a negative

Unknown: 00:24:31

person, or you're doing this or that you got to be aware of all

Unknown: 00:24:34

the bad trades, because the first step to changing or

Unknown: 00:24:37

getting better is first being aware and pointing it out. So

Unknown: 00:24:41

maybe you got to do some self reflection, you know, why, you

Unknown: 00:24:44

know, why? why are people negative to me all the time? or

Unknown: 00:24:47

Why do I seem negative all the time? You just you got to figure

Unknown: 00:24:50

that out? And then once you figure it out, then you can you

Unknown: 00:24:53

know, of course correct, or try and figure out why it's going on

Unknown: 00:24:55

kind of deal. So I mean, the biggest thing I've learned in my

Unknown: 00:24:59

life is pretty

Unknown: 00:25:00

First off, you know, because I do get a little bit of anxiety,

Unknown: 00:25:02

sometimes, you know that feeling of helplessness, helplessness.

Unknown: 00:25:05

But what helps me is, you know, you're not in any immediate

Unknown: 00:25:08

danger. The biggest lesson I've learned in my life is patience.

Unknown: 00:25:11

You know, even with a breakup with my ex girlfriends, or

Unknown: 00:25:15

whatever, Time heals all you will be, you will get better,

Unknown: 00:25:19

you won't die, things will get better just take time, you just

Unknown: 00:25:23

got to allow yourself that time.

Unknown: 00:25:26

You got to allow yourself to heal, you got to figure out

Unknown: 00:25:28

what's wrong, understand it, and then take the steps to heal. And

Unknown: 00:25:32

a lot of it a lot of is change. I mean, if you're doing the same

Unknown: 00:25:36

things all the time, you're attracting the same things in

Unknown: 00:25:38

your life, maybe there's something in your life, you need

Unknown: 00:25:40

to change.

Unknown: 00:25:42

So that's a big thing. And a lot of people are just scared of

Unknown: 00:25:44

change, they don't want to change or it's uncomfortable. I

Unknown: 00:25:48

mean, I'm not saying we I don't like change, it takes a lot of

Unknown: 00:25:51

energy to change something. So if something doesn't need to be

Unknown: 00:25:53

changed, I just don't want to deal with it. Right? I don't

Unknown: 00:25:55

want to change it. But, you know, some things do need to

Unknown: 00:25:58

change. And you do need to understand it does take a lot of

Unknown: 00:26:01

time, a lot of energy to change. So you know, just be patient,

Unknown: 00:26:04

give yourself time.

Unknown: 00:26:06

You know, try to be grateful for what you have right now, that

Unknown: 00:26:09

helps a lot. A lot of the stuff I've been eating kind of shows

Unknown: 00:26:13

the power of projecting positive thoughts into your brain. So

Unknown: 00:26:18

it's like tricking your brain into being happy ahead of time.

Unknown: 00:26:21

And then eventually your brain will be open to that, and you'll

Unknown: 00:26:25

just be happy.

Unknown: 00:26:27

Yeah, very good. Very good advice. Thank you so much for

Unknown: 00:26:32

making the time today and sharing your story and the tools

Unknown: 00:26:36

that you use to feel better and be a beautiful, confident human

Unknown: 00:26:43

being not out there helping other people. Thank you, for my

Unknown: 00:26:48

listeners to supporting our show here and sharing and reviewing.

Unknown: 00:26:55

I'm always curious to hear what you think. And yeah, just leave

Unknown: 00:26:59

a comment or a review. And I will be out there very soon

Unknown: 00:27:03

again, and maybe Clinton audience mouse will be

Unknown: 00:27:11

on with financial support, I was thinking of making an episode

Unknown: 00:27:18

with you, where you can share maybe a couple things that

Unknown: 00:27:21

you've learned that people can just start using right now and

Unknown: 00:27:25

being more financially healthy.

Unknown: 00:27:29

Yeah, that'll be great. Because I mean, you know, looking at

Unknown: 00:27:32

your financial health, it's almost the same as your

Unknown: 00:27:34

lifestyle, your your mindset and stuff, you know, yeah, you've

Unknown: 00:27:38

got to be aware of where you're at. And if you want to have a

Unknown: 00:27:40

better future, you got to start putting effort into it. So I

Unknown: 00:27:42

mean, you know, well, we can get into that later. But it's, you

Unknown: 00:27:47

know, I think it's the same way if you're your lifestyle, as

Unknown: 00:27:49

your finances, you know, your financial health, you got to put

Unknown: 00:27:52

some effort into it. You got to be feeding good things into your

Unknown: 00:27:56

finances in order to you know, create wealth and protect your

Unknown: 00:27:59

wealth.

Unknown: 00:28:00

Well, thank you so much for listening to this beautiful

Unknown: 00:28:04

interview with Clinton Johansen here. And I'm excited to be

Unknown: 00:28:10

posting a new interview with him soon where we talk a little bit

Unknown: 00:28:13

more about financial health. I think we can all learn a little

Unknown: 00:28:20

more about money, how money works and how we can make money

Unknown: 00:28:24

work for us. So have a beautiful rest of your day. And we will be

Unknown: 00:28:30

out there very soon again. Thank you.
