  • The importance of being REALLY clear on your values – Dr John Demartini #340
    2025/01/03

    The power of a defined MISSION
    Today on the Mind Caddie we have a very special guest in Dr. John Demartini.
    He is world-renowned human behavior expert. His work has been described by
    students as "the most comprehensive body of work" - "an extensive library of
    wisdom."

    He is an internationally published author, a global educator and the founder of
    the Demartini Method, a revolutionary tool in modern psychology.
    His teachings are the synthesis of knowledge and wisdom from the greatest
    minds through history.

    We had a wonderful conversation with so many valuable insights to apply to
    your game of golf but perhaps more importantly your game of life.

    We discussed:
    What are the main barriers to releasing your TRUE capability and how
    comparing yourself to others can be so detrimental.
    How the law of ‘contrast’ minimises your Mastery
    Why finding your own sense of personal mission will allow you to focus so
    much more effectively on what you are doing TODAY
    Mastering YOUR skills as you become absorbed in exploring what you are truly
    capable of becoming
    Don’t be second at being somebody else be FIRST at being YOU
    How infatuation with OUTCOME takes you away from Mastery. The bigger the
    cause the bigger the outcome.
    How your life demonstrates your hierarchy of values
    What is it that energises you everyday?
    Are your actions in line with your highest values?
