About your mentor
Vincent Cheng
I felt shackled by expectations
As a young boy, I felt trapped, I couldn’t please my family. And so, from childhood, seeds of bondage were sown.
Getting an A+ on school exams was often met with a “Why didn’t you ask for extra credit assignments?”
How can you win with that kind of pressure?
Boyhood, for me, was one of rigor, rules, and no fun.
I was forced to study as much as possible, and when I wasn’t studying, I was compelled to practice music for till my fingers bled.
I didn’t have much hope for a brighter future.
All of my examples reinforced the same message. Get good grades, a good degree, a good job, raise a family, retire, and then you will be happy.
But as I looked around, I didn’t see this formula working.
People were miserable, and so was I.
They all worked from a place of fear and no happiness.
To escape my childhood circumstances, I created fantasy worlds in my head or played video games. There were very few friends that I could be myself around. I would sneak out after school and into the city to play magic cards; here, I got a glimpse into life with freedom and fun.
The burden of expectations only increased as I grew older. I got accepted to the most prestigious engineering school in Canada, where I learned that I could escape the drudgery of someone else’s plan for my life by partying.
Escapism became an unhealthy habit that wrecked my health.
It even began to affect my appearance.
Somehow I graduated with exceptional grades.
As a boy, each day I felt as if the life was sucked from my soul at my Catholic charter school, with the verbal and physical abuse inflicted by my teachers. And even though I was a prodigy at the piano, I had no interest because the soul was sucked out of the music too…
…and yet, somehow, later in life, I learned to love music and rediscovered the heart in music and went on to conduct choirs and orchestra’s around the world; cherishing every moment.
How did I get from all that pain and suffering to where I am today?
I began my journey to rediscover myself, finding joy, fulfillment, and happiness when I learned the truth about what was holding me captive.
I was all in, I sold everything.
I took radical steps to grow.
Transformation started when I went to a Zen Buddhist monk in Japan. I discovered a way to heal the things from my childhood, let go of them, forgive the people who inflicted pain, to allow myself to be okay with myself–more so to love myself.
I didn't realize you could transform your life so quickly.
I learned to heal the deepest hurt inside of me.
Giving my past and present self what it wanted and needed was life-altering.
You can’t imagine the how different my life looks now.
I went from ZERO TO INFINITY.
Who sells everything they have, books and books a trip to Europe to master conducting?
I was become the maestro.
Finally, I was in the driver’s seat of my life.
My purpose became clearer as time went on…
...create a process for
radical healing and growth.
And so the HEAL THE SOURCE™ method was developed to propel others to find the healing and freedom that I have.
When you HEAL THE SOURCE™, you experience what true happiness, unbridled joy, fulfillment, and ultimate control feel like…true success.
Today, I experience a deep sense of meaning in everything I do and no longer rely on an “I’m proud of you” to motivate me.
I have unshackled from these limitations and am living a life of fulfillment…and even having fun along the way!
You can gain ultimate control, with meaning, adventure, and happiness.
You can realze your ultimate potential.
I want you to experience this radical transformation too.
