KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you don’t have a healthy body it prevents your soul from fully shining. That’s why the prevention of abuse is so important, because when a child goes through abuse, neglect, or trauma, they put barrier up and never get to experience full pleasure in life. If we can protect children from that that’s a huge help towards happiness.
• My latest book, ‘Don’t Read This Book’ teaches children how to recognise the voice in your head that’s trying to get you to do the wrong things and use its tricks to bring you happiness in life. It took me many years to realise that that voice doesn’t want you to listen to it, it wants you to overcome it.
• We’re just here for a little while on this Earth to do the best with the souls that we were given. We have one job here: To experience gratitude. This world was made for our enjoyment, we’re here to enjoy all these blessings as much as we possibly can, but we’ve come so far out of the garden that we’ve forgotten what we’re here for.
• There’s an emptiness in all of us and the more we feel that emptiness, the more we try to fill it with external things but it just makes the hole get deeper and deeper. It’s not a physical hole it’s a spiritual hole that needs to be filled up with gratitude.

BEST MOMENTS
‘We’re spiritual beings that need spiritual nourishment every day as much as we need physical nourishment.’
‘Life is but a blink, so leave a lasting impression.’
‘Any moment that we’re being grateful is a moment we’re not being miserable.’
‘I’m not really writing these books, I’m just taking dictation. I’m just a vessel, it really channels through me.’

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.

Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.

Why?

Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!

How?

Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
