People Profits & Purpose Podcast – Kute Blackson – Episode 14 (Part 2) – Intimate lessons from the author of You Are The One

January 18, 2018 Nick Psaila Mastery 2554

Kute Blackson is an author, a coach, a speaker and an inspiration.

Born in Ghana, the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father, Kute Blackson has been labelled as the next generation leader in the field of personal development.

Kute’s fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness is about “Liberated Living” at its core, Kute believes you must break free of the person society and you think you should be and become your real self to live the life your heart truly desires.

In Part 2 of this podcast, Kute explains what holds people back from who they really are, how to go about finding your true purpose and speaks about his new book – You Are The One.

  • Kute was born in Ghana, the son of a spiritual leader who preached in churches in both Africa and London.
  • His father wanted Kute to follow in his footsteps and become the church leader, but Kute knew this was not the path his heart and soul wanted to follow and broke away choosing ‘himself’ and following his own path.
  • He won a “Green Card” at 18 and set on his own journey to find answers and discover his true self.
  • Nick and Kute discuss what miracles really are and how we live miracles every day without realising it.
  • We all know that we should listen to our intuition, but until we strip ourselves of who we should be and uncover who we really are, we’ll never really trust and believe in our true self and intuition.
  • The process of finding out who we really are is about uncovering the layers of expectation, experience, environment and society beliefs.

01:05 Nick asks Kute “What is holding people back from being who we really are”

2:40    Being conditioned to think “Who you are is not enough” – waking up from the trance of not being yourself.

5:10    Nick discusses the pendulum effect.

7:00    What is spiritual?  Is it about doing or just about being true to yourself?

9:15    Kute explains that if you’re truly ‘in the zone’ of spirituality and who you care – you don’t have to show or flaunt it.

10:55 How do you go about find your purpose, still make money and be happy.

12:10 Stop consciously trying to finding your purpose.  Just take a step in the right direction.

14:00 Kute talks about his youth – how he took the step in the direction he wanted to follow.

15:05 Allow life to reveal itself to you –

  1. Ask yourself what you love,
  2. What specific skills do you have – your skills need to be aligned with your love.
  3. What problem you are uniquely able to solve – something that comes easy to you.

18:40 What group of people do you feel a genuine, authentic connection to?  That group of people is often showing you the group of people you are here to serve.

19:45 Your purpose chooses you, your dreams choose you!

20:41 When you find your purpose, that’s when the challenge begins and the work starts.

21:57 If you’re in a challenging situation – ask yourself “what lesson do I have to learn” and you ‘off course’ – we may need to dig a little deeper, or are you just being tested.

25:30 Nick asks Kute what was some of the best lessons he learnt from growing up with two different cultures from his parents.
