I’ve known Tim for over two years now and I’m truly intrigued and inspired by his constant acts of kindness and grateful presence, which we dive into in this chat. Whilst it may seem like all we’re going to talk about is happiness, that’s far from the truth. Parts of this chat end up being like a great coaching session to help us understand powerful mindsets and powerful tools and strategies to help us enhance our lives, even when we’re already extremely optimistic lovers of life. In this episode you will learn; - How to know when to focus on the journey and when to focus on the end goal. - What happiness actually is. - More tools on how to turn your adversity into your advantage - The most important thing we can instil in ourselves and in others to overcome tough life challenges - And Tim’s 6 step philosophy to choose everyday, to enhance your trajectory towards success AND happiness.
