KEY TAKEAWAYS
I met with some old friends on Friday night, and I’d not seen a few of them in two years due to Covid and we had a great time, staying out til 6 in the morning. On Saturday we went for dinner and drinks and continued into the night, and it was a lot of fun. I was also thinking about who I should be seeing as my Dad has just got out of hospital and is fairly vulnerable. I woke up late on the Sunday to see family
I don’t think as humans – and particularly as men – we stop to understand what that actually does for us. It was love, care, joy, support. When that comes in such big waves and doses you really get off on a high. You are loved. But the ego can get involved, and when you’re not in those waves it can tell you that you’re not loved. This happens more so when you’re struggling, and times are challenging, and you begin to think you’re alone.
You’re not in those people’s minds when you’re asking, do my family and friends think about me, do they really love me, do they miss me? But when you’re present with them you really do feel their love and support. Just because you’re not present with them – for whatever reason – it doesn’t mean that the love, care support and joy has changed. Your ego is choosing to change the way that you perceive, it’s taking control and playing tricks on you. The reality is those people’s love doesn’t change. It’s there.
That feeling of the big waves of love and joy can be felt all the time, we just choose not to. We have to override what our brain tells us, especially in today’s world where we’re so busy that we don’t take the time to control the mind. But take the time, give gratitude for all the loved ones, friends and family you’ve got in your life. Even if you’re going through a hard time right now, you’ll have someone, everybody’s got someone. Choose to accept their love every moment of every day and don’t let it weaken. Love it back.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It was such a joy to see people after so long.’
‘Ego is a beautiful thing, but unless we control it, it can be a nasty thing.’
‘You choose that that love and support is not there when it categorically is! It’s there every day.’
‘We are all the same: We are beings of light and love.’
ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
