321 – Find & Follow your PASSION with Mike Johnston
To be honest with you, when I heard that I would be interviewing a drum teacher I was not 100% sure whether it would be the kind of show that was suited for The Kickass Life. What happened next blew my mind. Mike Johnston’s story is so incredibly powerful and his passion oozes out of every word. This is a story of how one man went against the odds and gave up the “high life” as a musician traveling the world, to follow his passion for teaching, and how his passion has turned into a multi-million dollar enterprise that truly inspires others. This was one of those interviews where the end comes way too quickly, and I was left wanting more. What’s the little voice in your head whispering? And do you have the courage to listen and then follow the path of your deepest passion? Find out how Mike did just that.

In today’s show David will discuss Thandie Newton’s TED Talk and how our beliefs that are formed and how we can embrace ‘otherness’ and ‘oneness’ to explore, grow and change and to be our best and live life to its fullest. Thandie and David will discuss: Our ‘oneness’ vs. ‘separateness’ How the ‘self’ that we design, becomes the vehicle through which we experience the world How the ‘self’ and our belief that is designed by others is not our vehicle and not our truth, but is something that we can and should change in order to find a ‘self’ that fits How the ‘otherness’ and the desire to be a part of something affects our mind as we want to fit in How dance and acting gave Thandie insight and the deep insight into other lives and emotions How we never enter into our authentic self when we act out to win the approval of others How ‘race’ simply comes from our desire to create difference How ‘oneness’ becomes possible through awareness and how critical that is to find our purpose and live life at it’s fullest How the lack of ‘self’ is how we find our truest self, authenticity, and purpose Quote for today: “I had a degree from Cambridge and was an actor.
