OAK CREEK, Wis. (Oct. 22, 2024) – Bayu Prihandito, an engineer-turned-life coach, recently joined Marcus Hart on the Transform U! Live Show to discuss the power of self-discovery and creating a life that truly lights you up.

Prihandito shared his personal journey of achieving external success as an engineer, only to realize that something was missing. "I had the big home, the company car, the corner office," he explained, "but I felt empty."

This realization led him on a path of introspection and mindfulness, where he discovered the importance of aligning his inner and outer worlds.

"It was an existential question," Prihandito shared. "If not this, then what?"

Awareness: The First Crack in the Matrix

Prihandito emphasized the power of awareness in breaking free from societal expectations and the "shoulds" that often dictate our lives. He encouraged listeners to tune into their gut feelings and intuition, recognizing that discomfort can be a signal to explore deeper truths.

Emotional Intelligence: The CEO of Your Life

The conversation explored the crucial role of emotional intelligence in navigating life's challenges. Prihandito highlighted the importance of regulating emotions and making wise decisions, even in the face of anger or frustration.

"We shouldn't be steered by our emotions, nor should we ignore them," he explained. "It's about finding a balance."

The Co-Creator Mindset

Prihandito introduced the concept of becoming a co-creator of your own life, emphasizing that while we cannot control external outcomes, we have complete control over our attitudes, thoughts, and actions.

He challenged the common tendency to place expectations on others and the world, suggesting that true control lies in managing our own expectations.

Practical Advice for Transformation

For those feeling stuck in a rut, Prihandito offered practical advice:

  • Lean into discomfort: Explore the messages behind your dissatisfaction.

  • Commit to self-reflection: Dedicate time to journaling and understanding your desires.

  • Practice self-compassion: Approach your inner world with kindness and understanding.

  • Cultivate faith: Believe in your ability to create a fulfilling life.

This episode of the Transform U! Live Show provides valuable insights and inspiration for anyone seeking to break free from limiting beliefs and create a life that is truly aligned with their authentic selves.
