Today we answer
What does REAL bravery look like?
What if I can't find any good in someone?
Should we really be taking as much responsibility as we do over how others live?
Why would I want to see good in someone who is out to get me?
How in the world does empathy play into this?
How can we have love for someone who hates us?
If you haven't, I encourage you to start at ep 001. Today's episode continues our deep dive into that same topic. This topic is a series.
I really hope this episode helps you create an even more beautiful life.
In this episode you will learn:
Martin Luther King Junior + why we hate others
Difference between seeing and focusing on the bad
What we can never know about others
Who are we to caste a judgement? Why do we?
What it REALLY means, when someone hurts you
What it takes to love someone who is suffering
This episode dives further into the most important topic I could cover on this podcast. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned across my 20+ years of spiritual and mindfulness practice is today's lesson: The freedom that comes with choosing to see the good in others.
What I’ve learned is that this is a foundational lesson directly tied to our experience of a good life.
Episodes will be uploaded weekly. By the way, want to hire me to speak or want to work with me? Got questions? https://www.pensight.com/x/shyamboAnd, of course, if you're compelled to, please leave a rating and a review!

I'm Shyambo, and I created the Brighter Mindset Podcast to amplify positivity through self-awareness. I promise to share authentically and honestly.
I believe that we need to be vigilant about the thoughts and people we keep close, and I hope that the influence of this podcast and the ideas I will share will empower you and serve you by brightening your thoughts and your life.
Regardless of our background, this podcast will help us live more intentionally to improve the quality of our lives by improving the quality of our thoughts. To achieve this, I believe a hopeful, positive, and resilient mindset - a Brighter Mindset - is absolutely essential. I will share conversations with inspiring people and the many empowering lessons I've learned from 20 years of my spiritual and mindfulness practices.
From using mindfulness to overcome anxiety and managing depression to learning about how to live with more patience, humility and forgiveness… I cover topics to challenge us to be better versions of ourselves.
Everything I do online started and is still sustained with two desires:
to walk the talk and be a good role model for my 2.5 year old son, and
to honor my late-guru, Pramukh Swami and my current guru, Mahant Swami, who both have showed me through their lives that there is far more joy in serving others than there is in just serving my own needs.
My prayer is always the same: I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that at least one person's life is improved and benefited because of something I post. I promise to only post about concepts, perspectives and stories that I have personally benefitted from, things that have truly improved the quality of my life.
I invite you on this incredibly fulfilling journey where we will improve the quality of our thoughts and consequently our lives, together!
