Unlocking the 7 Hidden Forces That Shape Your Life — with Dr John Demartini

On a Mission Podcast 2.0

This episode is one of those rare conversations that expands your mind in real time.

Dr John Demartini has spent over forty years studying what makes us think, feel, and behave the way we do. He has helped some of the world’s most influential people rewrite their internal story and find a deeper sense of meaning and direction. And this conversation goes even further.

Back on the podcast for a powerful follow up, Dr Demartini shares what he believes to be the seven greatest powers we all have access to. Forces that can either shape us unconsciously or radically elevate our lives once we understand how to work with them.

We talk about values, vitality, wealth, relationships, and identity. Why so many of us live out of alignment with what truly matters. Why chasing dopamine over meaning is a trap we are conditioned to fall into. And why fulfilment only comes when we decide to live by design, not default.

This is not just theory. It is deeply practical, and at times confronting. Because when you understand which areas of your life are draining you and which ones are driving you, everything changes.

This conversation will make you think differently. About your time. Your energy. Your relationships. Your work. And most importantly, about your role in shaping the life you actually want.

Key moments include:

✔ We live, moment by moment, according to our set of inner values and priorities. When we align with the highest in this priority list, the action becomes almost automatic. It is in this area where we are the most effective and efficient.

✔ If we wish to serve others and make a real, positive impact in the world, then we have to understand that self-care plays a huge part.
We can't help others if we drastically reduce our potential and life expectancy.

✔ We're conditioned to believe in a wealth system that promotes quick fix dopamine hits of spending at the cost of long-term financial liability. We have to reverse this way of thinking.

✔ When it comes to relationships, we need to understand that no one is committed to us as an entity. They are committed to the fulfilment of what they value most. Even romantic feelings are utilitarian when reduced to fundamentals.
