JST 224 – Your Calling

Posted on June 5, 2018 by Jamie Smart

“We must therefore be willing to get shaken up, to submit ourselves to the dark blossomings of chaos, in order to reap the blessings of growth. Rejection is a writer’s best friend. If you are not failing regularly, you are living so far below your potential that you’re failing anyway.”
― Gregg Levoy

I’ve been preparing for an online masterclass I’m doing this Thursday called “The 5 Paradoxical Clues To The Work You’re Here To Do” and I’ve created a free guide to give you an idea of the kind of things we’re going to be covering in it. Read More →

Released 30th May 2018 Subscribe: iTunes

In this episode I speak with Charles Faulkner (a man whose work has had a big influence on the way I think about language, metaphor and money). A trainer and a master modeller, Charles was featured in the book The New Market Wizards and other books for his pioneering work modelling the best market traders – so-called Market Wizards. Charles also led the way introducing Cognitive Linguistics as the basis of new metaphoric change processes. As a Visiting Senior Fellow to the University of Surrey School of Management, he has been instrumental in getting research in the UK started in NLP. His 2017 TED Talk introduces his newer thinking on the nature of our imagination.

JST 223 – Confession: Sometimes I screw up and don’t want anyone to know

Posted on May 29, 2018 by Jamie Smart

“Everybody hurts. You are not alone.”
-Michael Stipe

I wrote this post on Facebook yesterday and it caught fire, so I thought I’d share it with you here:

[CONFESSION] Sometimes I screw up and don’t want anyone to know

People regularly tell me that it seems like everything I do turns out well.

I assure them that isn’t the case; that lots of the things I do don’t work out the way I want them to. Read More →

Posted on May 24, 2018 by Jamie Smart

I’ve got some mind-bending enthusiasms for you this week. Enjoy! Jx

1. A quote I’m resonating with
Here’s one from Sydney Banks that I’ve been reflecting on this week (it’s from an old recording of his called The Best of 2 Worlds):

“It lies within… you see, if you think that anything outside… is gonna give it to you… then you’re saying it’s not inside… no matter where you go you take it with you… it’s yours… you can’t run away from it…” Read More →

JST 222 – Cool things will happen

Posted on May 22, 2018 by Jamie Smart

“You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe.
The significance of you will forever remain obscure to you,
but you may assume that you are fulfilling your significance
if you apply yourself to converting all your experience to highest advantage of others.
You and all men are here for the sake of other men.”
– R. Buckminster Fuller

The power of surrendering to life
This week’s JST is the transcription of a rant I kicked off on during a chat with my buddies Garret Kramer and Michael Neill; I tore off with a bit of a rant and IMHO, this is the ‘secret sauce’ that’s behind truly outstanding results. Read More →

Posted on May 17, 2018 by Jamie Smart

1. A quote I’m resonating with
I’ve just spent the past couple of weeks with my dear friends, colleagues and mentors, Jan and Chip Chipman. We ran the Clarity Life Transformation Retreat together last week, and had a beautiful time with a great group of people. I was reminded today of the power of the inside-out understanding, and came across this beautiful quote from Syd Banks who’s speaking of the power and beauty of what we each have within us.

“You deserve to live in heaven here on Earth, at all times, because that’s where you started from.” Read More →
