This week’s podcast answers a need that a number of listeners have expressed to me - you (or, at least, they!) have asked to hear more about what owners of The Psychology of Success Online Program have to say about how their lives have been transformed by investing in themselves.

And, by investing in themselves, first of all, I mean investing time and energy in doing what’s right and, obviously, not doing what’s wrong!

The most important investment you can make in life is to invest yourself in the here and now. If you don’t and most people don’t, what kind of a return on investment do you think you’re going to get from investing nothing at all?

Midway through this episode, I make what I believe to be a crucial point:

All the good things in life that you would love to have - and more - come to you as a result of you being present in pivotal “nows” in your life. But you can’t be present in pivotal nows in your life if you’re not present in this one. How you turn up to this here and now determines how you will turn up to the next one.

But, let me quote from an Online Program Owner who puts the whole idea of turning up to the here and now so much better than I can:

“Living in the here and now has a ripple effect that impacts every aspect of my life”.

While we’re at it, let’s quote another Online Program Owner who sums up what life is all about:

“The main goal: Living Here and Now, Being Present, Enjoying Every Single Moment”

When you do that, life happens or, as we’ve said on many occasions here, again quoting Online Program Owners, “it just happens” and it’s effortless.

This flow just happens when you turn up and experience reality and all that that has to offer. It’s only your thinking mind has a grip on our sense of reality - loosen that grip…

It’s time to wake up. And to encourage you to do just that, I have enumerated, in this episode, some of the more debilitating consequences of… being normal.

We’re exploring mental health, physical health, disease, illness and untimely death - all by your own hand or, should I say, all as a result of the automatic way the thinking mind is, actually, overthinking you to death.

Of course, you’re not aware of any of this because it’s normal, it’s everyday, it is how your “life”, if that’s what you can call it, is. And, you’re not alone - it’s how everyone around you is, on autopilot, surviving from one routine, mundane day to the next.

And nothing will change until you begin to become aware.

With that it mind, I’ve put together a series of questions, about half way through this episode, that you can answer straight away - you won’t even have to think about the answers, your automatic mind will do that for you!!

And, then, we get into transformation. Yes, I explain how you can transform your life starting immediately after listening to this episode.

Armed with an insight into what you need to do to transform your life, armed with an understanding of the importance of turning up to your life in the here and now, we then highlight the importance of this here and now and what you’re supposed to be doing in this here and now regardless of the often apparent insignificance of what’s going on in this here and now or, indeed, the task in hand.

So, take a half an hour to listen. It might be the last time you see yourself as you think you are.

The title of this episode would suggest that we’ve wandered into the world of spirituality, which we have, by the way! In fact, we’ve been paddling in that pool for most of this podcast’s five-plus years, it’s just that it wasn’t really explicit.

All that said, this week’s episode is entirely practical, focused, as it is in the end, on not wasting your time or energy on doing the wrong things and, instead, doing only what needs to be done, in the right way, at the right time, effortlessly, to move your live in the most desirable of directions.

As you’ll discover, this all actually happens effortlessly when you discover your spirit, soul and essence, when you encounter the so-called “Real You”.

When you do that, when you flow, well, everything flows.

And that means that what’s best for you flows, what’s best for you and those around you and, indeed, the world at large.

So, we get to the heart of the matter, so to speak. We discover where and how you’ll encounter the flow that is your soul, your essence. We discover how to do just that and how, in doing just that, in allowing yourself flow, you enable yourself flow, without having to deliberately do so - it comes naturally.

But, of course, it would come naturally, wouldn’t it, when you discover your true nature.
