305. Mastering the Seven Seeker Treasures with Dr. John D. Martini: Empower Your Life Journey
Dr. John Dimartini, a world-renowned behavior specialist researcher, best-selling author, educator, and founder of the Dimartini Method, joins us to discuss his book, The Seven Seeker Treasures: A Transformation Blueprint for a Well-Lived Life. With expertise spanning multiple disciplines, Dr. Dimartini's work focuses on human values, aiming to empower individuals to become the best version of themselves.
The Seven Seeker Treasures delves into seven key areas: business pursuits, wealth pursuits, relationship stability, leadership, and social influence, health and well-being, inspired mission, and waking up genius. Dr. Dimartini passionately speaks about mental pursuits, highlighting his method of engaging both teachers and students in linking their values, leading to increased academic success.
With 40 years of experience in teaching genius awakening and supporting struggling students, Dr. Dimartini shares an inspiring story of a hyperactive child who found focus and engagement through a creative, interdisciplinary approach to learning.
Dr. Dimartini also explores the concept of awakening to one's own immortality and its connection to the layers of the brain. By identifying personal values and taking high-priority actions, individuals can increase their self-worth and develop resilience in the face of life's challenges.
Finally, Dr. Dimartini introduces his latest book, The Resilient Mind, which offers insights on managing anxiety, depression, uncertainty, and distractions. Addressing the phenomenon of "trophy case presentation" on social media, he emphasizes the importance of personal accountability and prioritization in order to live an extraordinary life.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
“Identify what your life truly demonstrates is most important to your life. And if you hear whispering, “I should do this,” “I ought to do this,” “I need to do this,” “I must do this,” just know that's not you. That's an outer authority whispering as a superego in your consciousness and infiltrating your mind and clouding the clarity of what you feel is important. If it brings a tear of gratitude to your eyes, you feel inspired by it, it awakens a vision inside you, you would absolutely love doing it, you feel grateful for the opportunity to do it, you're enthusiastically wanting to work on it, you're certain about it and you're present with it: That's the sign it's authenticity. I call those the six transcendentals. And taking the time to discern that state daily and mastering the art of prioritizing and really sticking to what's really truly meaningful to you because to pursue anything less than what's most important in your life is just going to devalue you. And it's going to keep you from doing something extraordinary. And you won't build incremental momentum and expand this space and time horizons to create immortal legacies. We go around and say we're immortal souls of theology, but nobody sends immortal goals hardly. So it's a contradiction. And I believe that the second you get authentic, your mind expands and you start giving yourself permission to, hey, I can do, I can make a difference on the planet.”
