2019-11-2415 min2019-11-1716 minThe in8secrets PodcastAngry Enough?Many of us in this politically correct world are trained to believe that anger is a negative emotion.
It is something to be denied or at least suppressed or ignored.

2019-09-1911 minThe in8secrets PodcastYour Core ValuesWhen I reflect on life there's a huge element of wonder. It comes up as to how are we so different. Why is it that we, you and I are so different from everybody else when we come from essentially the same stuff. It’s probable that there are no two people who have ever been the same as you and I and probably never will be. Our uniqueness is quite amazing. So, let's reflect on that for a little bit in the context of the values that drive us.
There are many ways in which we do...
2019-09-1515 minThe in8secrets PodcastDistractions From PurposeHave you ever been distracted and taken off purpose? Distracted by other things? Those bright shiny objects.
Stuff that has low value but imposes on you. It can take over a well planned minute, hour or day. Your email list,your friends dropping by unexpectedly and on for a long chat. It could be your affectionate cat or child.
Maybe it is the easiest and least important things on your 'to-do' list that get your attention rather than the important but more difficult things.
2019-09-1010 minThe in8secrets PodcastDiscovering Your PurposeYou can still hear the calling of your purpose and no matter how faint at times that may be. Sometimes we have to take detours in order to get through and around obstacles. Sarah Trimmer said it this way. "Every living creature that comes into the world has something allotted to him to perform. Therefore, he should not stand an idle spectator or what others are doing".
Today, more than ever I think we have drifted to live our life vicariously. We've become great spectators and we worship the top performers, but we don't necessarily do much...
2019-09-0512 minThe in8secrets PodcastThe Essence Of PurposeThere was a Persian prophet and Sufi master by the name of Rumi who, had made some amazingly insightful statements in his life. One of these such profound statements is “there's one thing in this world which you must never forget to do”.
Rumi said that "human beings come into this world to do particular work. That work is their purpose and each is specific to the person. If you forget everything else and not this, there's nothing to worry about. If you remember everything else and forget your true work, then you will have done nothing in y...

2019-08-0212 minThe in8secrets Podcastin8secrets Choosing PeopleI come from a background of do-it-yourselfers. It's like there's a badge of honor in my familial history of, "You can do it. You can do it yourself. You don't need anyone else to help you. Be independent. Be self-reliant." There's a saying in New Zealand where I hail from as a reference to number eight gauge wire. In other words, everything can be fixed with a bit of number eight wire. Some nations like the U.S. and Australia have sayings like anything can be fixed with duct tape.
It's like no matter what, you can...

Is it that people don't seem to be willing to even entertain that what you have is something that could help them?
2019-07-1408 minThe in8secrets Podcastin8secrets - Garage Wealth IndexI think, there's a wealth index at play. I don't have the evidence of it at all, but it just seems like there's a relationship between wealth and the fullness of one's garage.
Let's have a look at that today.
2019-06-3011 minThe in8secrets Podcastin8secrets - LeverageIt was Archimedes who said, "Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth." That's in somewhat a truism. I mean obviously it's a matter of scale, but the point is, is that with enough leverage we can get incredible things done.
So today let's just dive into what it is to have leverage.
2019-06-2311 minThe in8secrets Podcastin8secrets - Even a Jellyfish has StructureWhen we talk about structure, I mean, really everything has structure, but we often think of it as the sort of mechanical things like houses, and bridges, and roads, and cars, and stuff like that, but I consider that even jellyfish have structure.
Let's dive into this one for a few minutes to look at the intriguing essence of structure.
2019-06-1611 minThe in8secrets Podcastin8secrets - Internal StaticHave you ever noticed that little voice inside of you that... that thing that just keeps going and going, talking, talking? It mightn't be your voice, it could be other people's voices, it could be your mum, your dad or your school teacher?
That's that internal static, it's the internal noise. Let's have a look at this both where it serves and where it does not serve.
2019-06-0213 minThe in8secrets Podcastin8secrets - awarenessAwareness.
We're neurological driven beings. We are one with all that's around us by virtue of our neurology. We are beings that have a network of communication that calibrates what's going on in our world. We're constantly feeding out to and receiving from our environment.
And that is the process of awareness. It's a process of noticing what is going on. And we need this. It's a survival mechanism for a human being. And if we cut it down, if we slow it, if we get ignorant, if we lack knowledge or we are unaware...
2019-05-2620 minThe in8secrets Podcastin8secrets PerspectiveWe're in an age where the pace of life and the rate of change are rapidly accelerating. We're immersed in sensory input, that for me is boarding on overload. Just keeping up with the constant flow of news through the media or emails or Facebook conversations consume vital space, time and energy. We tend to be eager to get on with the next new thing and tend to see things in small units of time that are hinged right around this very moment without regard for the long term.
It's an age of expediency and it can...
2019-05-1913 minThe in8secrets Podcastin8secrets - InsightIdentify the transformative opportunities. Some may refer to them as problems, stress or undesirable issues that are going on in your life.
Are you stressed out just thinking about them?
Do you believe things are out of your control?
Being in control is a fallacy. The only thing you have control over is how you act towards transformative change, so change is the only constant.
Once you've grasped this fact, flashes of insight emerge, and life becomes easier.
2019-04-3013 minThe in8secrets PodcastThe in8secrets - HindsightWhen you take on a perspective that life is a journey and every aspect of your past affects your present and your potential for your future, then you'll learn more from looking into the rear vision mirror.
Your perspective of the events of the day, the week, the month, the year, your lifetime and even your lineage will provide more richness to your journey.
So the old adage of "If we don't understand our history we're bound to repeat it" is true in this context.
2019-04-2913 minThe in8secrets PodcastThe in8secrets - ForesightForesight
The oft-quoted Biblical statement in Proverbs states that "Where there is no vision, the people perish". This has implications in all aspects of our life.
Through the power of foresight, we can change lives, relationships, businesses, nations, and in fact, the world.
Today I will address the power of foresight, the power of vision, the power of dreaming.

Now look, it's something that anyone can do.
The question is, will it be you? Are you letting the game that you play hold you back from expressing your truth?
You have an important story to share, a job to do. Do you get it done?
Are you able to stand up and do what needs to be done, say what needs to be said?
Is your stand your brand?
2019-04-1419 minThe in8secrets PodcastThe Paradox of HarmonyThe Paradox of Harmony
There are many upsides and downsides to harmony. It's hugely diverse because harmony in our world reflects the harmony within.
So let's just start and have a look at that first and then we'll build it out from there. Have you ever been inwardly upset and noticed that many things in your day seem to irritate you? It could be the traffic is moving too slow, the morning coffee is too bitter or the phone rings off the hook. Other days none of these things matter because you are in harmony...

Have you've ever noticed yourself thinking one thing and saying another? Or maybe doing something entirely against what you know to be true?
Let's have a look at this in terms of what's missing. What's the link that's missing when you see something that's possible, you say you will do it and then you don't come through with the goods?
You notice that something is holding you back and it is usually the referencing of a past experience where something similar wasn't possible?
This may be like espousing the...
2019-04-1417 minThe in8secrets PodcastAging is Optional When You Are PassionateIt's been said that aging is an option when you're passionate.
So you sense it, don't you? When you meet someone who's really excited about something that they're just bobbing. It's just oozing out of them.
You see it in the youngest of young and the oldest of the old. This thing called passion for life and living is one of the great innate secrets.
This inborn function is within everyone - How is yours?
2019-04-1416 minThe in8secrets PodcastTo Control or Not ControlTo control or not control.
Control is is a tricky one.
It's NOT about controlling with force. It IS about controlling yourself first though, then adjusting your environment to yourself.
It's NOT about adjusting yourself to the environment, but its also not about adjusting other people to your environment.
And that's the catch there. As I said, it is a tricky one.
2019-04-1412 minThe in8secrets PodcastBe SpecificBe Specific
It's not about the big things in life, it's about the little things, the little details. The right environment.
The right little thoughts, words, and actions at the right time make massive differences.
It's the little things that matter, and that is specific.
2019-04-1418 minThe in8secrets PodcastCertainty - Friend or Foe?Certainly Not Certain
It's been said, whoever has the certainty rules. Well, I'd like to take that one to task. So let's have a look at what it is to be certain and what does certainty mean? Both upsides and downsides.
We are all in a prison of some description. You may be imprisoned because you aren't being truthful to yourself.
Maybe you lie about your potential and what you are capable of. Maybe you aren't truthful about what you want to do. Maybe you are uncertain about being able to provide the...
2019-04-1416 minThe in8secrets PodcastThe Currency of TrustTrust
I think it's probably true to say that we have a crisis of trust. Trust is lower now than ever before, and it seems to be in a downward spiral in so many different areas. So, in this discussion today, let's look at trust, and how it is that we build it.
2019-04-1423 minThe in8secrets PodcastBe StrategicBe strategic.
When strategies are designed and laid in advanced it's surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them. This is the future thinking and the future design that is a strategy.
When you have a clear vision of what you want, you're well placed to create the circumstances and situations that support your vision. A strategy is something that could span many, many years. It may be a lifetime.
Are you being strategic?
2019-04-1413 minThe in8secrets PodcastGoalsGoals
The innate wisdom within you is constantly seeking to grow and flourish. Goal setting's an important life skill that is part of the expression of this wisdom.
Do you have it nailed?
You are like a heat-seeking missile. Your innate wisdom is there to keep you on track. It's there to proliferate, to grow, to allow you to be the best version of yourself.
You are here to flourish and you have a frontal brain to make that happen.
2019-04-1414 minThe in8secrets PodcastOutcomesOutcomes Empower Your Journey.
An outcome is often confused with a goal. They can be used interchangeably too, so I want to make this distinction to start with. An outcome, in this discussion, is a direction that you're going. A goal is a specific, tangible point that you're going to.
An outcome is based on the overriding purpose and the why, the big why of why you're doing what you're doing, and that is uncovered and discovered as you go through an intellectual dissection of life and what is so for you.

Throughout history, people have searched for the meaning of life. This has resulted in separation, division, wars, hardship, religions, polarised governments and so on.
Every person on this planet has a philosophy including you.
Your philosophy includes everything in your world-view. Philosophy as a way of thinking ABOUT something. Regardless of how strongly people deny the illusion that they're not philosophically driven, they do have a philosophy, and in fact, that statement is an expression of their philosophy.
Philosophy is not some hallucination or...

You are who you are as a result of the identity that you've created for yourself so far. Consider that you maybe don't even have full volition in some areas of your life.
It's rather daunting, isn't it? This podcast takes a look at your journey to now and beyond.
2019-04-1411 minThe in8secrets Podcastthe in8model Quadrant 4The information on any given topic, subject, event, occasion or circumstance passes from Quadrant 1. through Quadrant two, through Quadrant three and through to Quadrant 4. As you may recall the Quadrant 4. and Quadrant 1. share the frontal areas of the brain. This area loves big picture thinking.
The Quadrant 4 is the home of the intuitive mind and it's always looking to reinvent things. It will say, "What else? And what if we did this? What if we did that? What else could we do? How could we improve this particular situation, this product?" It will intervene in any situation...

The Quadrant 1 creates a big idea and the Quadrant 2 makes sense of it and looks at any dangers that may be within it, relative to the past. Once it's sorted it out and got into policy and procedure and understands how it can work then it passes it through into the Quadrant 3 part.
The Quadrant 3 part is the right basilar part of the brain. The Quadrant 3 is the area that applies makes use of and finds solutions for the 'problems' discovered by the Quadrant 2. It's there to ask the question how, how can I...
2019-04-1409 minThe in8secrets Podcastthe in8model Quadrant 2Quadrant 2.
Quadrant 2 is the left back part of the brain. This is this area that looks at very fine detail. It wants order and structure. Like the Quadrant 1's organ connection is to the heart, the Quadrant 2 part is connected with the cerebral, thinking part of the brain. When we're using the Quadrant 2 part, we're using our brain's computations based on known 'facts' from the past.
It's a learned brain. It's the brain that goes after content, it goes after detail, it wants to know 'WHAT'. It's the part of the brain that's always seeking...
2019-04-1408 minThe in8secrets Podcastthe in8model Quadrant 1Today we're going be talking about Quadrant 1.
Now as we discussed in a previous podcast, the brain is divided into four quadrants, looking down from the top of the person. What science now tells us is that when the neurons or nerve cells in our body and our brain fire together they wire together to create habits.
This means that the more we do something, the more we do it.
We have four quadrants with 2 on the left (front and back brain) and 2 on the right (back and front brain). I want to give...
2019-04-1409 minThe in8secrets PodcastAbout the in8modelIt could be said that we come into this life as a blank slate, but that's not obviously true. We have a whole package of information that's encoded within us, within our DNA from our heritage, from our history, from the journey of whatever has gone before us that has been recorded and lodged.
So what we have then is certain predispositions and certain memories that may even play out when currently stimulated. The environment that we are in has a huge part to play in the way that we form as an embryo and the way...

What I want to look at is that sublime state of infinite possibilities that we are surrounded by. To do this, we'll have a look at a model which seems to be appropriate with this discussion, because so much of it is intangible, so much is conjecture and out of our ability to delineate and define.
We come from somewhere and we go somewhere, and we have this life form in between. From many different teachers over time, I've come to have an understanding that we have all come from a source.

I am Mark Postles and here is a little thumbnail of my journey to this point. This has been an interesting exercise for me as it has uncovered numerous areas that have been problematic in my past and that I have ignored as irrelevant or completely forgotten.
