Subject: Harnessing the Power of Support: A Reflection Prompt Inspired by Mark Bell's Power Project
Hey Friends,
Welcome Back ๐
Today, I want to share some thoughts inspired by an episode of one of my favorite podcasts, "Mark Bell's Power Project." Specifically, I'm reflecting on episode MBSS Ep #48, where Mark discusses the invaluable role his parents' support played in his journey and the importance of developing a "monetization mindset" and pursuing your passions.
In this episode, Mark discusses the mindset required to chase your dreams. He emphasizes the importance of self-belief, perseverance, and the willingness to take risks. But what struck me the most was when Mark discussed the role of his parents' support in his journey. He explains how his parents were always very supportive of his creativeness and allowed him to be himself. He highlights that his parents never lied to him and told him he was great at something before he was. Rather, they made him believe that he had the ability to be great if he was willing to work for it.
To highlight this point he shares a story from a young age where he told his father he wanted to live in a castle when he grew up. Now rather than shutting it down his father asked if his castle would have a moat and what kind of fish he would put in it. His father could have explained no one lives in castles anymore but he chose to support his sons creativity and it obviously meant the world to Mark. This podcast reminded me that support doesn't always come in grand gestures. Sometimes, it's the quiet assurance that someone believes in you, even when you're doubting yourself.
So, today's journal prompt is inspired by this enlightening exchange. Here it is:
Reflect on the role of support in your life. Who has been your biggest supporter, and how has their support shaped your journey? How can you apply the lessons from Mark Bell's podcast to your own pursuit of your dreams?
This prompt encourages us to look deep into our personal development. It's about acknowledging our strengths and weaknesses and consciously working towards becoming a person that not only we can love and be proud of but also do things that make us happy and worry about the monetary value second. It's about personal growth, self-improvement, and the courage to seek and embrace our dreams.
As you reflect on this prompt, I think it would be valuable to consider how you can be someone who supports the people you love. Maybe you have kids, how can you be morw like Marks parents if you arent already. Or maybe you didn't have parent like Marks, consider how that has affected your life and how you can use those feelings to help shape a better pattern of support for your family and friends.
I encourage you to take your time with this reflection. Write honestly and openly. Remember, this is a personal journey of growth and understanding. There's no right or wrong answer, only insights to be gained.
I also encourgae you to check out Mark on youtube or on his website linked above. His podcast is amazing and if you are into fitness he is a former world class powerlifter with a wealth of fitness knowledge.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and reflections. Until next time, keep exploring, keep growing, and keep loving.
With all my heart
