Raul Lopez Jr. – Is a man with a story about how childhood impacts our lives as adults. I believe this works in the positive and in the negative. As children, we don’t always understand why our parents do what they do.
Even though Raul had a loving mother and loving father, he couldn’t understand how or why he was no longer able to see his father and Raul grew up angry which led to fighting, crime and jail. Luckily that isn’t how the story ends but I’ll let you hear this amazing story of change and redemption yourself.
I loved doing this interview. And what I loved most about it was how Raul was so transparent and raw about his own experience. To go from thinking Love = Pain to realizing Love Sets you Free is freedom indeed. The idea that things happened to me turns us into victims. When I choose to see it as things happened for me it empowers me to serve the world and myself in a positive way… Good stuff.
Len Wright refers to himself as a Mental Alchemist. This is the second time Len has been on the show. I had him back on because he has helped me with how I see the world and myself. In this episode we talk about how sometimes when I think something is right for me, it doesn’t mean it’s what is best for me and that when I think I know something, I shut off my capacity for learning and nothing improves in my life.
I really loved how Len showed that we can turn the lead and iron and straw of our life, the negative and painful experiences into the silver, gold and platinum of learning and transformation. And in the moment, in the midst of the storms of life to be able to ask the question “What would love do?”
I challenge you, in the midst of a storm in your life or challenging experience, How do I take this lead and turn it into Gold and “What would love do?”
