Living True to Yourself with Ray Martin
Manage episode 504013860 series 3650543
Most people live a life that others expect of them, chasing the career, the house, and the “off-the-shelf” version of success. But what happens when you realize it’s not the life you truly want?
In this powerful conversation, Ray Martin shares his journey from award-winning CEO to giving it all up, selling everything, and embarking on a 14-year sabbatical around the world. Along the way, he discovered mindfulness, ran marathons to raise money for orphans and elephant sanctuaries, and rebuilt his life around freedom, values, and self-awareness.
We dive into:
- Why so many of us get trapped in lives that don’t feel like our own.
- The turning points that led Ray to walk away from success as society defines it.
- The lessons he learned from Buddhist monks, fundraising marathons, and building a new life of service.
- How self-awareness, mindfulness, and gratitude can help you reclaim your own path.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re living someone else’s script, this episode is a wake-up call and a guide to living true to yourself.
Your mission: Take time this week to reflect on one area of your life where you might be living by others’ expectations, and identify one small step to realign with your own values.
