  Start Your Transformation Now    Are you constantly distracted, frustrated, or feeling stuck wondering why you’re not getting the results you want in life? In this episode, Jim Fortin reveals a simple but profound truth: you are where your attention is. Drawing from both scientific understanding and spiritual wisdom, he breaks down why your attention is the foundation of all cognition—and ultimately, the creator of your reality.    Jim explains that mastering your attention is the key to mastering your outcomes. He dives deep into the four types of attention, shows how the modern world is hijacking our focus, and shares real-life examples of how misplaced attention leads to unwanted results—whether it's poor finances, emotional turbulence, or lack of progress. Most importantly, Jim offers you a transformational mindset shift: if you don’t like where you are, it’s time to move your attention.    This episode is your roadmap to reclaiming control over your thoughts, your emotions, and your life. Listen in and start the process of truly mastering your mind and creating what you want.    What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  (01:30) Why Attention Is the Root of All Cognition Jim opens the episode explaining how attention drives thought, behavior, and ultimately, results.  (06:50) The Four Types of Attention and Why They Matter Selective, divided, alternating, and sustained attention—and how each type impacts your daily experience.  (13:02) The Role of Attention in Emotion and Manifestation Learn how your emotional state is directly tied to your attention, and how to shift it to change your outcomes.  (18:10) Real-Life Distractions and How to Master Them From annoying habits to social media addiction—Jim shares practical strategies for regaining control.  (29:24) Attention vs. Circumstance: Where You Focus Creates Your World Why separating your attention from your external situation is the beginning of transformation.  (40:01) The True Power of Moving Your Attention A practical, motivational wrap-up reminding you that what you focus on is what you become.    Listen, apply, and enjoy!    Transformational Takeaway  Your attention is not just a mental habit—it is the steering wheel of your entire life.

Whether you’re stuck in fear, frustration, lack, or limitation, freedom begins with this single decision: shift your attention. When you train your mind to focus on what you want—not what you fear—you open the door to powerful transformation. You are not your circumstances. You are the master of your attention.

• Ep 401: Throwback to Ep165: More Random Thoughts To Transform Your Life

  Start Your Transformation Now⁠  As I was thinking about this week’s episode and what I wanted to share I had an epiphany: I have tons of things to share with you sitting right on my desk. For decades I have taken notes when talking to my brother-in-law, the shaman. Over the years I’ve gone through the notes and taken an inventory of myself and my own growth and often I add to the notes with my own assessment of self-growth. As I was thinking about this week’s episode I had a stack of notes on my desk that are simply personal notes to myself and I thought, “Why don’t I share this with people?” The podcast is never contrived or orchestrated in any way others than to serve you and perhaps give you food for thought, and when I had this idea earlier I decided to just share with you some of the bullets from my personal notes. The thoughts I share this week have been life-changing for me and I think you’ll also find value. I could give the bullet points I talk about here in this write-up but that ruins all the fun of new discovery, so, listen to this week’s episode and I’m curious so to whether or not you like the impromptu format of this episode. The general theme this week is random thoughts regarding spiritual responsibility for our lives and our personal evolution. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  What you’re in agreement with is what you’re in alignment with. Mentioned Resources: Episode 2: Who Are You And What Is Your Identity?

• Ep 400: Escaping the Lion's Cage

  Start Your Transformation Now  Are you unknowingly trapped in a mental cage, mistaking endurance for strength? In this episode, Jim Fortin shares a powerful metaphor inspired by a real-life conversation that challenges the way we think about resilience, struggle, and healing. Through the story of James, a man battling cancer, Jim explores the difference between truly healing and simply enduring—and how many of us are doing the latter in our own lives without even realizing it.  Jim dives deep into the concept of the “lion’s cage”—a mental construct where we fight, struggle, and endure without seeking liberation. Whether it’s money, health, or relationships, many people are stuck in survival mode, believing that fighting harder is the path to success. But what if the real answer is learning to let go, rewire your subconscious beliefs, and finally walk out of the cage?  If you’re tired of feeling stuck, fighting the same battles, and not seeing progress, this episode is the wake-up call you need to finally break free.    What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  (01:05) The Story of James and the Lion’s Cage How one man’s battle with illness reveals the difference between surviving and truly healing.  (05:40) The Subconscious Trap of Endurance  Why a “positive mindset” isn’t enough—and how subconscious beliefs silently keep us stuck.  (14:43) Why Fighting Weakens You  Jim unpacks a quote from Mother Teresa to show why resistance only strengthens what we resist.  (16:17) The Real Way Out of the Cage  What it takes to stop running, open up to new possibilities, and break free from mental traps.  (21:42) You Don’t Know What You Think You Know  A humbling and freeing reminder that awareness, not knowledge, is the first step to transformation.  (29:00) The True Price of Freedom  It costs nothing but your willingness to change—and everything if you don’t.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  The lion’s cage is an illusion—one built by years of conditioning, false beliefs, and a refusal to question what you think you know. You may believe you’re strong for enduring, but true strength lies in walking away from the fight altogether. You don’t have to keep running. The moment you realize that your current thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs are the very things keeping you trapped, is the moment you unlock the door. Nothing changes until you change. So, ask yourself: What price are you willing to pay to be free?    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn    LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

• Ep 399: Throwback to Ep111: Your Life Is Your Life Because Of You

  Start Your Transformation Now⁠  I KNOW you’ve heard it a bazillion times, you know, something along the lines of “You are the creator of your life,” etc…etc, blah, blah. Well, it’s true and the $64,000 question you should be asking yourself is this: “If it’s true then how come I don’t have everything I want in life?” The reason you don’t have all that you want is because, the conundrum, you are the creator of your life. Better said, you’re full of self-deception, self-illusion and full of mental toxicity…even if you don’t yet recognize it. Being a BEing of consciousness and energy you go through your days absorbing everything you see, hear and experience. And, because you do this, you absorb toxicity and don’t know it. The unfortunate thing is that this toxicity is actually what keeps you from what you want in life. I have to admit, what I’m going to suggest in this episode can be a lifetime growth process for most of us, however, it’s a higher stage of evolution for all of us and it helps you create the life experience you want in this lifetime. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your life is your life because of you.
