How does Brian D Smith's approach to personal growth and self-discipline differ from Richard Ashworth's philosophy?

Brian’s lens grows out of profound loss and consciousness research. Personal growth is about integrating grief, finding meaning, and remembering we are spiritual beings having human experiences. His GEMS framework (Gratitude, Exercise/Sleep, Mindfulness, Self-care) emphasizes daily practices that regulate the nervous system and open the heart.

Richard Ashworth, as an astrologer and Feng Shui expert, leans more into time, place, and pattern. In his “fate vs free will” view, past choices and karmic patterns shape circumstances, but self-discipline lets you work with those patterns to redirect your path.

So, Brian starts from grief, spirituality, and evidence-based habit support; Richard starts from destiny, timing, and energetic context.
