Hope: A Flimsy Word Or A Real Game-Changer? – Gary Clarke

With the current woes in our society, hope has never been more important, or more needed. But it’s a word that can mean so many things to people. For some it’s a beacon of optimism, while to others, it’s an elusive promise that is sometimes unfulfilled.  In this week’s show, Paul talks to Gary Clarke about the concept of hope, and what it means to them.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Hope has the power to transform our lives. By providing an aspiration for us, it can steer us towards more positive outcomes.  Family, love, and support provide us with perspective, and instil a greater sense of hope in us. Hope, in this sense, can be associated with selflessness.  When we become in touch with our primal self, the self that is often obscured by filters and layers of society’s expectations, we attain a greater sense of synergy with instincts such as hope and faith.  BEST MOMENTS ‘Even the most staunch of atheists, in the heat of battle, cry “Oh my God, help!"'  ‘Coming close but not close enough has been semi-consistent’  ‘I personally believe that we are all world game-changers'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life   Gary Clarke Twitter - https://twitter.com/GBoatsy  ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977: “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”  Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.  Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.  “Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts, By Embracing Our Hearts!”  CONTACT METHODS Tel: +44 (0) 115 7270101 E-mail: [email protected]  Twitter: https://twitter.com/IAMPaulLowe  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IamPaulLowe/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-d-lowe-7a78332a/
