E160: How to be Free - Interview with Dr John Demartini

In this episode, Pete speaks to Dr John Demartini, a teacher and speaker who strives to create his own box and his own world to have true freedom in life. They talk about values, living authentically, fulfilment and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Fire in the belly to John means someone who is inspired and enthused to pursue something meaningful to them. Having fire in the belly means you will do what it takes to achieve what is important to you. Many people compare themselves to others and act like someone they are not. This means what they are committed to and what they want from life is clouded. Each of us have a set of values that we believe in. When we are living in alignment with these that is when we are happiest and feel most inspired. John delegates everything he can, so then he can have no distractions and just teach like he wants and needs to. He is doing the tasks he truly values. Surround yourself with people who are experts in the things that you find weigh you down or devalue you, then they can take care of those tasks for you. Inspiration and motivation are two separate things. If you have to try and motivate people that means they are not inspired, you are trying to create extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is where you want to be and this comes from within. John uses all possible avenues to learn, from lectures to reading. He is constantly wanting to learn, having a broader perspective is what makes us human. Mastery comes from celebrating all parts of your life, it doesn’t come from getting rid of half of yourself. You will never love yourself this way and it is a waste of your time.   BEST MOMENTS  “Not everybody has that fire to their full extent” “Sacrificing to live under others values will eventually make us narcissistic” “Anytime you live by your highest values and priorities your self-worth goes up” “I study and write every single day” VALUABLE RESOURCES Subscribe to Fire In The Belly Podcast on Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fire-in-the-belly/id1499375061) ABOUT THE GUEST Dr John Demartini   ABOUT THE HOST The ‘Mighty Pete Lonton’ from the ‘Mighty 247’ company is your main host of ‘Fire In The Belly’.  Pete is an Entrepreneur, Mentor, Coach, Property Investor, and father of 3 beautiful girls.
