What if I told you that you were living in an illusion?  Today we question the nature of reality with Dr. Srikumar Rao, author of Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots; he is a groundbreaking business coach and speaker who taps into ancient concepts that are still relevant to post-industrial society. This timeless wisdom will wake you from the illusion of dissatisfaction and desire.  In this episode, Dr. Rao shares three powerful ideas that will shift your perception of reality and help unlock your capacity for joy.  Happiness does not depend on anything; Dr.Rao points out that the idea that your joy hinges on your accomplishments is the illusion of want. You are chasing a feeling that you think will set you free, but the bigger house, the better job, and more money are not what will bring you joy because you can tap into eternal bliss under any conditions. He explains the Hindu concept of Ānanda, the state of being which allows you to let go of your earthly attachments and achieve eternal bliss. Ānanda is your natural state of being because the universe is benevolent, and everything you experience is neither good nor bad, so you do not need to chase anything. Everything in your life is as it should be and is designed specifically for your growth and fulfillment. Dr. Rao demystifies the mindset necessary to unlock eternal bliss.  Join us to recognize the illusion you’re living in so that you can set yourself free from it and experience the beauty of life as it unfolds before you.   Key Takeaways: [2:00] Modern Wisdom Ancient Roots [3:30] You Are Living In An Illusion [9:20] Searching For a Sense of Fullness  [12:00] Recognizing The Dilemma  [18:35] The Happiness Illusion [27:45] You are  Ānanda [31:25] Gratitude is a Feeling  [39:00] The Benevolent Universe  [42:00] Is the Universe Friendly?   Where to Find Guest: TheRaoInstitute.com Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots  Memorable Quotes: “You cannot solve an internal problem with external action.”  [11:00]  -Dr. Srikumar Rao “You’re introducing duality. There is me, and there is something else, which will make me feel a particular manner. In reality, there is only one. There is no me to experience something else, we are all one.”   [13:20] - Dr. Srikumar Rao   To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: Mindvalley.com YouTube: @vishenlakhiani Instagram: @mindvalley Instagram: @vishen Facebook: @mindvalley   Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW

Our guest is Mathew Knowles, the father of legendary Beyonce and Solange Knowles and the visionary behind Destiny's Child. He gives insight into his mindset as a parent and how you can help your children achieve their wildest dreams. No one can be great at everything, yet parents commonly pressure their children into being straight-A students, assume extracurricular activities, and expect perfection unseen in the adult world. Mathew believes perfection kills your child's creativity and prevents them from realizing their passions. He teaches you to nurture your children's natural abilities instead of molding them into your vision.  We discuss the importance of honesty. Mathew reveals that he never hid his mistakes and struggles from his children. This honest communication set Beyonce and Solange up for success in the real world. Without experiencing failure, your children can't grow, and one big mistake could be their catalyst for greatness.  Mathew imparts his key ingredients to develop your children's passion so they can dream big and never fear failure. All children have greatness inside them, and today we learn how you can become the positive influence your children need to achieve their vision. Your words and actions unconsciously influence your children's understanding of the world. Join us to discover how you can grow as a parent and help your child achieve their dreams.   Key Takeaways: [2:00] Raising an Inspiring Daughter [3:40] Growing up With Racial Trauma  [8:00] Living a Life of Integrity  [10:40] The Catalyst of Mathew’s Career [14:45] Identifying Your Child’s Passion [17:35] Supporting Your Kid’s Passion [19:00] Kids Can’t be Experts in Everything [23:40] Sharing Your Failures with Your Kids [29:00] A Child’s Innate Vision [32:45] Talk-to-Do Ratio  [36:30] The Words You Choose Matter   Where to Find Our Guest: The DNA of Achievers: 10 Traits of Highly Successful Professionals Destiny's Child: The Untold Story   Memorable Quotes: “I realize, every area we’re not experts in.

There will be some areas our kid will struggle in.” [19:41] -Mathew Knowles “We also shared our mistakes with them, and our failures with them. We didn’t hide that from our kids and I think that was a positive thing.” [23:43] -Mathew Knowles  Words matter, especially with kids. What words you say is critically important, and I think when we have a topic like race, or we have a topic like education we have to be really careful how we say these words to our kids, because they’re like an empty glass, and we’re filling them up with our belief system.” [40:10] -Mathew Knowles     To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: Mindvalley.com YouTube: @vishenlakhiani Instagram: @mindvalley Instagram: @vishen Facebook: @mindvalley   Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW
