Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #59 Vin Infante.

Creating the life you want to live requires shifting away from a victim mentality and taking active control of your destiny. You are either passively experiencing life or consciously creating it, and by embracing the latter, you empower yourself to shape your future according to your dreams and aspirations.

In this thought-provoking episode, we are joined by Vin Infante, a Licensed Psychotherapist, Mental Performance Coach, and Keynote Speaker on a mission to impact 1 billion lives. Vin shares his personal journey with victimhood, underscoring that the outcomes in our lives aren’t determined by what happens around us; instead, they’re shaped by our responses to those events. Our responses create a chain reaction that ultimately shapes the outcomes.

Vin also explores how to shift from a victim mentality and offers practical advice on achieving self-mastery. He breaks down the five key aspects of self-mastery: thoughts, language, behaviors, actions, and emotions, illustrating how each component plays a vital role in creating meaningful change.

As the conversation unfolds, he discusses the significance of language and its impact on the subconscious mind. He explains why Vin hates the word try, highlighting that ‘trying’ signifies a lack of decision, accountability, and responsibility. Additionally, he encourages listeners to challenge their thoughts for personal growth and empowerment.

This episode is a guide for anyone seeking to shift their mindset, take control of their life, and achieve personal mastery.
