HOW TO BE A COMPASSIONATE BAD*** AND SKYROCKET YOUR SUCCESS, WITH SEAN KANAN, EMMY®-WINNING PRODUCER, AUTHOR, AND STAR OF THE HIT NETFLIX SERIES, COBRA KAI, AND THE KARATE KID FRANCHISE

HOW TO BE A COMPASSIONATE BAD*** AND SKYROCKET YOUR SUCCESS, WITH SEAN KANAN, EMMY®-WINNING PRODUCER, AUTHOR, AND STAR OF THE HIT NETFLIX SERIES, COBRA KAI, AND THE KARATE KID FRANCHISE

Is something holding you back from achieving your dreams?  Maybe, you’re being held back by negative people, or perhaps by self-defeating thoughts in your own mind. If that’s the case, then things are about to change. It’s time to kick the negativity out of your mind and become the most powerful and loving person you can possibly be. On our Love University podcast, we recently had the pleasure of meeting up with Sean Kanan, star of Cobra Kai and the iconic Karate Kid franchise. Aside from being an award-winning producer and consummate actor (Young and the Restless, Bold and the Beautiful), Sean has written self-empowerment books (wayofthecobra.com) and dedicated his life to showing students how to overcome obstacles and reach their dreams. Here is some of the wisdom we learned from this special interview with Sean:

*Be a Cobra. A Cobra is someone who is authentic, self-aware, empathetic, strong, and humble. They epitomize a blend of paradoxical characteristics that make them a Compassionate Warrior. They’re ready to fight to defend their principles and protect others from harm, while at the same time being compassionate, loving, and empathetic. Like the Mike Barnes character in the current Cobra Kai series, season 6, the Cobra can offer tough love and discipline, while also being an inspiring mentor to help others grow.

*Never compromise your character.  Sean tells us that reputation is what others say about you; character is what you say about yourself, and what you do when no one is around to watch you.  Guard your character with everything you have; it is the essence of who you are, your authenticity, your inner power.  With it, you can conquer the world; without it, the world will conquer you.

*Win the battle for your mind and be reborn each day.  You need to metaphorically die each day to your old limiting self (self-defeating mindset).  Every day when you wake up, resolve to be a better version of who you were the day before: wiser, kinder, more compassionate, more humble, tougher, and stronger.  Each day, you will let go of the person you were yesterday. If you fell short or made a mistake, today you will start fresh; you will do better. Today, you will forgive yourself for your past errors and create a new, more powerful, and more loving you.

These are just some of the life-changing secrets we learned from Sean on how to kick the problems out of your life and achieve personal mastery.  Be a Cobra, never compromise your character, and be reborn every day.  If you do these things, you will conquer your inner world and achieve your dreams as you help others achieve theirs.

NEWS FLASH: DR. AVILA AND SEAN WILL BE TOGETHER AT THE WYNN LAS VEGAS 8/30/24, UNITING THEIR FORCES TO HELP PROFESSIONALS MAXIMIZE THEIR PERSONAL AND WORK SUCCESS.  REGISTER NOW AT LOVEUNIVERSITYLOVE@GMAIL.COM FOR VIP EVENTS, BOOK SIGNINGS, AND Q & A SESSIONS. YOUR LIFE WILL BE TRANSFORMED.
