Manage episode 477223571 series 3622711
What if the answers you're seeking aren't found in strategic planning or endless hustle, but in learning to listen to that quiet voice within? Michael Fox, spiritual teacher and author of "The Whisper of God," reveals how his journey from ignoring his calling to embracing it transformed his life and can transform yours too.
Discover the profound connection between gratitude and divine guidance as Michael explains how appreciation serves as more than just a positive mindset—it's the frequency that allows us to receive life's greatest gifts. Through powerful stories and practical wisdom, he shows how living in gratitude quiets the mind's incessant chatter (those 65,000 daily thoughts!) and opens us to the guidance already available within.
For those feeling stuck in careers that no longer fulfill them or facing leadership challenges that seem insurmountable, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective. Learn the art of reframing questions from "why is this happening to me?" to "what is this teaching me?"—a subtle shift with transformative results. Michael compares our subconscious to a search engine, faithfully responding to whatever we ask, highlighting how the quality of our questions determines the quality of our lives.
Perhaps most importantly, this episode provides practical guidance for those who recognize the whisper but struggle to act on it. Michael's advice? Start small, build confidence through practice, and remember that true inner guidance comes as clear knowing, not internal debate. Whether you're contemplating a career pivot, navigating leadership challenges, or simply seeking greater alignment in life, this wisdom-packed conversation illuminates the path forward through gratitude, authenticity, and the courage to listen when the divine whispers.
