Meet Paul D. Lowe this week’s Fun Friend Friday guest
Paul is the founder of HEARTS — Helping Everyone Achieve Results Towards Success.
If you’re feeling a bit lost in the game of life, this week's Fun Friend Friday guest could serve as a compass.
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Paul Lowe, the HEARTS and minds mentor, about the value of finding your true purpose at the very beginning of every journey, may it be in your career, your business, or your life, in general. Paul shared his own inspiring story which as he says “he owes a lot to because if not for these experiences, I won’t be as impactful to other people as I am is right now”. In his book Emerging From The Forest: From Pain to Purpose (Mastering the Game of Life) Paul talks about how he got over addiction and the ‘all or nothing’ mindset. After finding his “Why?”, everything became clear to him. He understood he was always meant to help other people.
KEY TAKEAWAY FROM OF CHAT
- Paul Howe shared his personal story that shaped him who he is today. He shared how he witnessed domestic violence, physical & verbal abuse at an early age. And how he learned to cope with the psychological and emotional burden. Frist by acquiring the negative behaviors of an addiction to the Nottingham Forest Football club and alcohol. This led him to lose jobs and relationships.
- He then shared that the ‘all or nothing’ mindset he got from his experiences, was not sustainable.
- “I knew what my purpose was but didn’t have the emotional currency to fulfill it so I went to a personal development… We’re human beings so it’s okay to be vulnerable.”
- Paul considers Deepak Chopra and Tony Robbins as his mentors.
- Acceptance is good. You have to open yourself to the world. Accept defeat if it happened. Accept that you need help. Accept that there are other people who are more capable than you.
- Have the strength to show vulnerability and say that you don’t know anything.
- If you’re looking to go into business, find that purpose. Know the power of questioning yourself: What is your end result? What are you striving for? Is it a balance?
- Set your vision but once you start the journey, you have to be adaptable. Stop being fixated with what the outcome would be. It won’t be a smooth journey so you have to let go and enjoy it.
- BEST MOMENTS
- “The two biggest fears we have in our life is not being good enough and not being loved.” — Paul
- “I was developing these survival skills at a high level. But more importantly, the beacon I add through all my own personal challenges was the fact that I was here to serve others… and become very aware of that.” — Paul
- “You can’t give what you don’t have.” — Paul
I am excited to have Paul D Lowe as this week's Fun Friend Friday guest. I am sure we will unpack meany more “Best Moments”
