Ep #78 The Shift: In Conversation with Phil Lee

The Happiness Project

In this entire month, I am in conversation with Phil Lee, who has always been a searcher and seeker of The Truth. Phil introduces us to something called ‘The Shift’ and this concept is so intriguing that it gets us to rethink our entire process of life and how we have built systems that are kind of controlling our experiences of life. If there’s something that I have learnt while interviewing Phil Lee – it’s this - That, you are far more powerful than any circumstance, situation or conditions you will ever find yourself in. You can’t always control what happens in your life, but you can always control how you choose to respond. And by becoming aware of your patterns, and ensuring you have expansive and empowering ones in place, you’ll be truly astounded by how quickly you’re able to shift your thoughts and create extraordinary results in your life that you’re absolutely in love with! Do you long for more in life, but you’re not quite sure what it is that you would most like to be, do, have or give in this life? Or do you have a clear sense of your greatest dreams but are looking to accelerate your result? I really hope these episodes give you some sort of clarity and makes you reflect even deeper. Phil when he was in his early 20’s, following some challenging personal circumstances, he began a personal growth journey and followed the traditional path of trying to figure out what would make him happy, setting goals, and then working hard to achieve them. By the age of 50 he had managed to put a tick against all of the goals he had set, and with a desire to give back and help others, Phil pivoted from his career as a successful technology business owner and became a motivational speaker and executive coach helping others to achieve their goals and dreams. In his early 60’s, reflecting on his own personal experiences and closely observing other highly successful people, he began to question that the very thing everyone seemed to be chasing, lasting happiness and personal fulfillment, was to be found in external achievement and success. In short, those that were seen to be very successful did not seem to be genuinely happier or more satisfied than anyone else. They had more but they still had problems and were plagued by worry and insecurities. This revelation put Phil on the path of Spiritual exploration and extensive study and practice. Now 66 years of age, Phil knows that true happiness and fulfillment is an internal, not an external experience, and can only be found by complete acceptance of the present moment and by letting go of the part of you that has a problem with life unfolding as it is. Phil has been facilitating a weekly workshop around the principles he practices for nearly five years now, and I am so grateful to be in conversation with Phil and allow him to take us all through some life-altering experiences and wisdom.
