The Mind Of George Show

[R] Stand Guard at Your Lighthouse

Episode Notes

Welcome to the final episode in the 7-part RESET IN 20 series. In this episode, George takes you inside one of the most vulnerable seasons of his life and teaches the foundational mindset practice that transforms overwhelm into power: standing guard at your lighthouse: your mind, your heart, and your perspective. 

This isn’t about hacks or tactics. It’s about reclaiming your agency and choosing what thoughts get access to your lighthouse.

Whether you’re burned out, uncertain, or just need a reminder of who you are, this episode equips you with a simple but profound way to come back to center and protect what matters most.

This isn’t just a reset, it’s a revival of your inner guard.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why unchecked thoughts become mental prisons
• The difference between reaction vs. response (and why it matters)
• How to build your “medicine cabinet” of mindset tools
• What Jim Rohn, Mike Tyson, and Stephen Furtick all have in common (hint: perspective)
• Why strategy fails without perspective and how to avoid that trap
• A live, behind-the-scenes window into how George rebuilds from adversity
   

Key Takeaways:
✔️Stand guard at your lighthouse: Protect your mind, heart, and perspective like your life depends on it, because it does.
✔️Perspective is the difference between power and prison. You can have the right strategy, but the wrong mindset will sabotage it.
✔️Choose to respond, not react. Your past does not deserve to lead your present.
✔️Build your mental “medicine cabinet.” Fill it with the tools, books, videos, and reminders that bring you back to center.
✔️Clarity doesn’t come from chaos. Emotional spirals don’t lead to solutions, presence does.
✔️Community matters. Surround yourself with a triage team who can remind you who you are when you forget.
✔️You only lose when you quit. Keep building your vision, even if it doesn’t look like you thought it would.
