Train Your Mind | Part 2

About this episode

In this episode, Gen Kelsang Menla discusses how to train your mind and set meaningful goals for sustainable happiness.

Manifestation has become a buzzword, but is it as mystical as we think? In reality, manifestation is about bringing clear visions to life through intentional action. It’s the power of the mind to create—"Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." In this episode of The Upshot Leadership podcast, Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Menla joins us in part two to explore how to train your mind, identify your values and goals, and practice patience in turning them into reality. It’s not about quick fixes or "three-step formulas," but about clarity, dedication, and daily effort. As we approach 2025, we’ll also discuss how our individual actions shape the world we co-create, and how to set goals that lead to true, sustainable happiness. Tune in for a fresh perspective on goal-setting and leading yourself into the new year!
