Welcome to Transformative Living Radio, where we explore the power of intentional change for personal growth and fulfillment. I'm your host, trainer, speaker and coach, andre Flaks. Do you remember receiving a gift that was so special that you just had to share it with everyone you knew? A gift that felt like it was worth more than what the person paid for it? Those kinds of gifts are always cherished and remembered for a long time. In part 2 of our two-part series on the book the Gift by Dr Shad Helmstetter, we unravel the final six gifts that holds the key to unlocking your full potential. Now, if you haven't listened to part 1 of the series, I encourage you to go back and listen, as it provides context to why these 12 gifts are so profound and powerful. I also encourage you to get the book if you are interested in digging deep into the 12 gifts, as this two-part series only touches the surface of what you'll discover by reading the book. So, with that said, let's jump into part 2 of Unlocking the Gift by Dr Shad Helmstetter. Welcome back to the second installment of our journey through the book the Gift by Dr Shad Helmstetter. I'm Andre Flaksher, host and certified life coach. In this episode, we're unraveling the final six gifts that hold the key to unlocking your full potential.

Speaker 1:

Now, gift number 7 is the gift of setting great goals. Goals provide direction and purpose, guiding you towards your desired destination. Set SMART goals, which stand for specific, measurable, achievable and relevant and time-based goals that inspire and motivate you to take action. Break down your goals into small, manageable steps and celebrate each milestone along the way. Now there are many different ways to set goals, and the method you choose is entirely up to you. However, the most important thing is to take the time to carefully consider what you want in your personal and professional life, write down your goals on paper or electronically, and regularly refer to your goals to track your progress towards achieving them. Gift number 8 is the gift of taking control of your time and your life, and it's about the importance of managing your time effectively. You see, time is the most valuable asset we all have, so it's critically important that we use it wisely. To take control of your schedule, you need to prioritize your task and eliminate time-wasting activities. You can do this by practicing time management techniques such as batching similar activities together and setting boundaries to maximize your efficiency and productivity. By doing so, you make the most of your time and ensure that you achieve your goals.

Speaker 1:

The ninth gift is the gift of putting yourself into action Now. This gift refers to the ability to take initiative and to actively pursue your goals and aspirations. It involves overcoming procrastination, fear and self-doubt to step outside of your comfort zone and make progress towards your dreams. This gift empowers you to turn your ideas into reality by taking consistent and purposeful action. Embracing this gift requires determination, resilience and a willingness to learn from both successes and failures. It involves setting clear objectives, developing action plans and executing them with focus and dedication. By harnessing the gift of putting yourself into action, you can unlock your full potential, achieve personal growth and make a positive impact on your life and on the lives of others.

Speaker 1:

The gift of never giving up is the tenth gift Now. The ability to never give up embodies perseverance, resilience and determination in the face of challenges or setbacks. It involves maintaining a positive mindset and refusing to succumb to obstacles or failures. This ability enables you to keep pushing forward towards your goals, despite encountering difficulties along the way. By embracing the ability to never give up, you can unlock your full potential and achieve success in various aspects of your life. It instills a sense of resilience that allows you to bounce back from failures stronger than before. In addition, it also fosters personal growth and development, as overcoming obstacles often leads to valuable lessons and insights. Ultimately, the ability to never give up empowers you to overcome adversity and fulfill your aspirations, no matter how daunting the journey may seem.

Speaker 1:

The 11th gift is the gift of doing something you love. This gift encompasses the profound joy and fulfillment derived from engaging in activities that resonate with your passions and interests. When you pursue your passions, whether it's through a hobby, career or creative endeavor, you tap into a source of intrinsic motivation that energizes and inspires you. By embracing your passions, it can bring a deep sense of purpose and satisfaction to your life. Doing what you love allows you to express yourself authentically, unleashing your creativity and potential. It can also enhance your overall well-being by reducing stress, increasing happiness and fostering a positive mindset. Fulfilling in activities that bring you joy not only enrich your own life, but also positively influences those around you. When you align your actions with your passion, you often find greater success and fulfillment. In essence, pursuing what you love empowers you to lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Speaker 1:

The gift of paying it forward is the last of the 12 gifts, but it's a very important gift. The concept of paying it forward involves performing acts of kindness for others without expecting anything in return, with the hope that they will do the same for someone else. This practice creates a chain reaction of generosity and goodwill that spreads positivity throughout community. In addition, paying it forward can have ripple effects, inspiring others to engage in similar acts of kindness and fostering a sense of interconnectedness and empathy. It also promotes a mindset of abundance, where individuals recognize their ability to make a difference in the world, regardless of their resources or circumstances. Overall, the gift of paying it forward enriches both the giver and the recipient, creating a virtuous cycle of generosity and goodwill that uplifts entire communities.
