S1 EP9: Living a Life Full of Joy

Life seems complicated these days. We’re all busy, yet how do we achieve living a life full of joy.  Success, money, and business are top of our priority list, yet deep in our hearts we need to cultivate a life filled with joy.  We need to allow ourselves to lean into joy and give into those moments, we will build resilience and cultivate joy.

S1. EP8: YOU are Enough — The Three Most Powerful Words

You are enough. Hear it, and then hear it again. You are enough. Let it really sink in. We often hear this phrase, but we often forget the depth of the meaning behind it. We live in a world where we continuously feel that we don’t belong and don’t live up to certain expectations of others around us.  The highest expectations are often not the ones that other people set for us, but it’s the high standards we set for ourselves. When we fail to meet these unrealistic expectations, we beat ourselves up, feel a sense of unworthiness, and think we are never going to be enough. Being enough is a mindset, not an acquisition.  Our conditioning plays a major part in this. You know all the stuff  you’ve been picking ever since childhood; the things people have said to you, and the way you have been treated by others. What you think and believe about yourself really matters.  Those unconscious thoughts play  in the background of our minds, can either be negative beliefs or empowering ones.

S1. Ep 7 Looking Inward to See Outward

Like many these days, I have traveled and relocated quite frequently, and fortunately for me it’s one of my favorite things to do.  At first, I relocated between houses, then cities,  and then eventually different states. I’ve seen beautiful places and met the most wonderful people but by far the best direction I ever moved in is inward. To go inward inside of ourselves, is truly the best place to go if you want to move forward in life. I have discovered no matter where I go in this world, I am exactly in the same place.  This is not your physical location, it’s the place in your life where you’re experiencing your internal environment from which is the inside of yourself. The only place you, me, and everyone else can ever be, is inside. This is so important. Because whatever we feel or think from the inside determines our experience on anything in our external environment.. Our day-to-day. Our relationships. Our work. Our well-being. Everything. Without exception. And yet, whatever inside experience at any given moment is not of our liking, our first response tends to be: let’s change the outside environment or the external situation we find ourselves in. We end friendships, relationships, quit jobs, or move cross country to get away from whatever bothers us. But if you truly want to have any forward movement in life, you have to look inside yourself. . The only way is in. . You have the power to choose and decide what happens inside of yourself. Today, don’t look back. Look forward. Look upward.

S1. Ep6: Today is The First Day of the Rest of Your Life

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. But here's the thing— every day is the first day of the rest of your life. Every day you have a chance to set things up for a better future. And the future will be better. You just need to think about how much your life has changed to see that. If you look at how things were a few years ago, you'll see obstacles you never thought you would overcome, stresses that kept you up at night. But many of those things will just fall by the wayside with time.
