“Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.” - Kelly McGonigal Human beings are incredible because they have the capacity to endure difficulties and stress, but how much can we take until we finally break? How do we cope with stress and avoid being addicted to living a life we do not want? Stress is a state of mental or emotional tension resulting from adverse circumstances.

“The future depends on what we do in the present.” - Mahatma Gandhi The year 2023 has started and this is the time when most people think about their resolutions. Have you thought about yours? Are they really that necessary to have a fantastic year? What if I told you that a resolution is not the answer, and a revolution is better?

“The biggest battle in life is with yourself.” - Dennis Prager Yesterday marked the 7th year of this podcast and once again I want to thank everyone who listens to the Future Self Podcast with Pete Cohen. Today I am going to give you insights into overcoming your greatest battle. What is your greatest struggle? It is the resistance within yourself. Resistance is the act of fighting against something that is attacking you. It is a force that acts to stop the progress of something or make it slower. If resistance prevents us from evolving into the person we want to be, then why do we allow it? More importantly, how do we take hold of it? Continue to tune in while I present different perspectives, including the answers to these questions. Highlights: ⚡️We have the power to bring our ideas into life every day. ⚡️Resistance is part of every human being. ⚡️Many people start and stop things because they are unaware of the resistance.

“Procrastination itself is a failure - failure to utilize your innate talents. When you procrastinate, you’re failing to believe in yourself.” - Dr. Travis Bradberry Procrastination is putting off doing something. We procrastinate for several reasons and one of them is that man has been designed to conserve energy to survive. Another reason is that we do not want to get out of the familiarities in our life. We do not want to sacrifice the little rewards we get because we do not see ourselves as part of a tangible future. Procrastinating can have great negative impacts on your life if you do not overcome it. It is one of the reasons why you are living a life that you do not want. Listen in as I tell you three steps to conquer your habit of procrastination. Untap your greatness and live the life you have always wanted. Highlights: ⚡️Human beings are good at adapting to situations but some return to what is familiar to them after overcoming a crisis. ⚡️ Progress will not happen if you do not examine your life. ⚡

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellowmen. True nobility lies in being superior to your former.” - Ernst Hemingway A festive Christmas to everyone. We have so much to celebrate and be thankful for this season. We have surpassed life’s struggles, including the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. As you gear up for the coming year, new opportunities await, but have you thought about how your life is going to be? Will it be the time for you to master yourself to be someone better? What does it take to have mastery over oneself? The dictionary defines mastery as comprehensive knowledge or skill in a particular subject or activity. It is your ability to set goals, put the processes in place, and stay on the path to accomplishing your intentions. Are you ready to create or are you one of those who are on the verge of suicide? Would it not be better if you reinvented yourself? Tune in and discover the path to mastery. Follow the passage to success and be a master in 2023. Highlights: ⚡️

“The miracle of gratitude is that it shifts your perception to such an extent that it changes the world you see.” - Dr. Robert Holden  Have you taken the time out today to thank someone who has touched your life or think about the things you should be thankful for? Has your mind been clouded by all the hurt, frustrations, and negativities in the world that you forget to appreciate and see the beauty in everything? Gratitude is a virtue that everyone must practice every day. It is being thankful and appreciating even the littlest things you have. Gratitude impacts our physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. Gratefulness can bring you out of being self-absorbed and into a world of possibilities. It is an antidote to fear, grief, envy, stress, feeling a lack of, or feeling not good enough. Tune in to know the different steps of gratitude and what you should be thankful for.

“The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of the state of your mind.” - Wayne Dyer The year is near its end and, for most people, this is the time to think about resolutions and make changes. However, have you really looked at yourself and thought about what your thoughts and actions have resulted in? Have you mismanaged yourself and ended up living a life you do not want? What if I told you that you can change your situation and that you have a tool within you that can boost your life? Tune in and learn how you can use your mind to create what you want in the coming year. It is time to stop being a victim and start becoming the person you want to be. Highlights: ⚡️ The prefrontal cortex of the brain is an experience simulator that allows us to think, predict and see what an idea might be like. ⚡️ The mind goes to where it is easily more entertained unless you decide what to do with it. ⚡️ The purpose of a goal is to engage our mind in a process to where you want to go. ⚡️ Happiness gives us c

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” - Tony Robbins I am sure you know Robert Downey Jr, one of the most inspirational, influential actors and producers of all time, but do you know how he became successful?

“Only you have the power to determine whether your future mimics your past.” - Skip Prichard Are you taking steps to be your future self? Do you know who your future self is? Future Self is simply the person you are becoming, the person you will be in the years to come. It is important to choose and decide who you are going to be because this gives you a purpose and a goal. Human beings are, by nature, goal-driven; everything we do is for a goal. Knowing your goal and being guided by it helps you act or do things toward achieving that goal. This assures you of a better future, a life worth having and living. However, becoming the person you want to be is not easy. There are certain steps you must take to have the life you have always wanted. Tune in as I give you insights on how you can step into your future self and avoid living a default future. Highlights: ⚡️ It is not enough to learn. We must put the knowledge into action. ⚡️ Most people do not make the choice to reinvent themselves or make a difference.

“Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!” - Viktor Frankl Is it possible for a man to dominate life by finding meaning in his life? Can you find your own meaning in life? Can your greatest test become your greatest testimonial, your legacy? What is your mission in life? We can gather great wisdom from the teachings of Viktor Frankl.

“Whatever man can conceive and believe, man can achieve.” - Napoleon Hill Are you supernatural? Would you answer this question the same as most people would respond and say, “No, I’m just me, there is nothing special about me.” What if I told you that you can be supernatural and that you can do great things? We can all be supernatural. Supernatural is attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature. It is when we do something super incredible, but we often do not realize some of the incredible things we have done. We tend to dismiss things we cannot explain. If you want to be supernatural, then listen as I reveal the insights to harness your powers. Be driven by the joy and inspiration of the possibilities that exist for you to transform and live the extraordinary life you desire. Highlights: ⚡️ Having a big why does not necessarily produce the supernatural ability for human beings to do incredible things. ⚡️ The brain is supernatural in that it can record the past as well as pr

“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.” - Bruce Lee People have always put great value on someone’s personality. When applying for a job or even when choosing friends and people one interacts with, personality is given the utmost consideration. But have you given thought to your own personality? How do you value your personality? How does it affect your life? Is it hindering you from having a better life? Do you think you can change your own personality to have a better life? Listen in as I give you insights into how your current personality is affecting your future and how you can change and use it to be the person you were meant to be. Be the leader of your own life. Highlights: ⚡️ Personality is who you are consistently, your attitude, and your behavior. It is basically what you say yes to. ⚡️ Identity is how you define yourself, your repeated beingness. ⚡️ You can choose and decide to be a fundamentally different

“Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” - Mahatma Gandhi Do you know who your future self is? Are you aware that what you think, feel, and do directly impacts the person you are becoming? Do you have a relationship with that person? Do you really listen to your future self?  Listen to my guests, Dr. Ray Sylvester and Paul Hurcomb as we discuss our relationships with our future selves. Gather insights on how you can overpower your consciousness, your mind, and your actions to reach your full potential. Dr. Ray Sylvester's passion is to help people understand who they are, what their value is, and what they are called to serve.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle Habits shape our identity. It is our survival mechanism that helps us find ways to evolve by learning. When we learn, we start to exist. However, once we get comfortable, we stop evolving. There are good habits and there are those which limit us from having a more successful, fulfilling life. How have your habits affected your existence? Have the routines you have instilled in you pushed you to greater heights or have they contributed to your downfall? Be attentive as I disclose how the things you frequently do can impact your future and thus take steps to reinvent yourself for the better. Highlights: ⚡️ Either pain or the possibilities that exist lead you to change. ⚡️ People tend to revert to unpleasant habits, to what is familiar to them, and sacrifice bigger wins for smaller ones which give temporary gratification. ⚡️ True long-term thinking is about thinking about who you aspire to be. ⚡️ The cost of your good habi

“If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” - Mahatma Gandhi Belief is a state of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in a person or thing. Our belief affects every single aspect of our life and gives us a vision of our future. Therefore, if you believe that you are incapable of doing it, chances are you will not achieve what you so desire. What do you really believe? Are you one of those who think that they are not good enough or that they can only do certain things? If you believe that you cannot overcome the challenges you are facing right now and that you do not deserve a better tomorrow, then your future will be the same sad life you are living right now. If you want to change that, which I urge you to do, listen to what I have to say and think about your future life. You still have the chance to live your dreams, go for it. Highlights: ⚡️ Our mind has great power but a lot of us have given up that power. ⚡️ Min
