Unsung Heroes: Getting Out Of Your Own Way - Paul D. Lowe & James Porritt

Paul is joined on this episode by James Porritt who shares his views on getting out of your own way in life as he has experience of being in his own way. He didn’t feel he fit in when he was younger or even feel love from his parents, despite not being epileptic he has suffered 16 grand mal epileptic seizures which were brought on through stress and depression. Though it has been a traumatic journey, he’s learned a lot about himself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It was only when he learned to get out of his own way, to not take things personally or judge, to let go of the need to be right and his own needs and become present with other people and operate from a position of love, gratitude and joy, that’s when things shifted for him and his life transformed.
• The greatest gifts we can give to another person are time, attention, focus, energy and presence which we can only give when we get out of our own way.
• A battery has a positive and a negative terminal. Both are required and serve a purpose; the negative terminal forces the flow of current and the positive harnesses the energy. When they work in harmony it’s in perfect balance like the Yin and the Yang. Love is the absence of judgement. One cannot exist without the other.
• Our minds and thoughts are our greatest assets. If we allow other people to dictate those things, we are giving our power away and we’re getting in our own way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I didn’t understand who I was, what I was’

‘In the universe, I’m insignificant but powerful’

‘Society is quick to put labels on things and put people in boxes’

‘How can we know true love if we haven’t experienced heartbreak and loss?’
