In today’s episode of the Mastering The Life Podcast, your host Paul Lowe interviews Matthew Burbridge. Paul and Matt explain that there is more than one way to change in life and that all of us struggle in life. We undergo challenges and pain and we are always looking for guiding lights. However, life is not a one-size-fits-all solution. All those challenges that we face, we learn and grow as we pick up the pieces in life, thus, creating our belief system. It moulds us into a person that we are now, today.
Matt discusses his ethos and how it can benefit everyone in this world. It is specifically for entrepreneurs however, it also works for everyone. Learn more about life with Matthew - stay tuned.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Have a purpose. All of us need to have a purpose in life. If you don’t have a purpose then you are likened to a ship without a rudder. You are just going to be tossed around by life’s waves, you are going to be hitting rocks and you do not know what you are doing or where you are going.
ETHOS
Be more. Every day that you wake up you feel that you just want to be more.
Do more.
Accept who you were in the past. If you hold stuff in, you don’t share it with the world. It will manifest. It will destroy you internally. It just does. Be supreme
Understand who you are right now. I am who I am. That’s who I am today. Know who you want to become.
Know who you want to be. You won’t get to the vision without clarity and purpose.
Be supreme. We are a sum of our thoughts and our beliefs. Our beliefs massively influence us. If your beliefs are in the right place. You can be supreme. Believe in the power of beliefs.
Life is full of fake fears, full of failures, full of hardships, and there is nothing that we can do about some of those. We just have to accept them. But what you can do is control the internal that you can control. We can control how we react to those things happening.
Consistency. Do you have the ability to remain consistent with your vision in the face of all those things? Because if you do, you will be supreme.
BEST MOMENTS
“The pivotal moments takes some form of control about how we see ourselves or our future.”
“Be more, do more, be supreme.”
“I believe that everybody can utilize my ethos to create change.”
Paul: The point I’m trying to make is, we need a purpose. I liken it to a ship without a rudder. If you haven’t got a rudder, you are just gonna be tossed around by life’s waves and you gonna be hitting rocks.
You don’t know what you don't know; but what you do know is what you can control - ourselves.”
There is one difference between the people get somewhere in life and the ones that don’t and that is the ability to retain the same mindset that gets them to their feet during their troughs. If you can do that, if you can control which you can because it’s internal, you can control the same mindset and sustain that place regardless if it’s a peak or trough that you are going through. You will become a winner. You get where you need to go. You will be supreme. That is just how it is. But a lot of people can’t do that.”
“Our beliefs become our thoughts. Our thoughts become our words. Our words become our actions.” – Gandhi
“Life is a very simple game. Being human, we complicate it. Change is a simple as ABC."

ABOUT THE HOST
Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
