What if the way you show up in life is the key to unlocking your true potential? Marcy Axelrod takes us on a deep dive into the art of presence, revealing how the roles we embody—self, situation, and society—shape our identity and interactions. She shows that authenticity isn’t just a choice but a conscious practice, influenced by both our inner world and external circumstances.
We explore the transformative power of goal-setting, shifting the focus from simply achieving milestones to embracing the journey of growth. Marcy emphasizes that when we align our actions with who we want to become, we create a path that is fulfilling, resilient, and deeply connected to our values.
The conversation sheds light on the importance of reflection, the power of aligning intentions with actions, and how these practices can turn every moment into an opportunity for growth. By being fully present and conscious of our daily choices, we not only shape our identity but also create a ripple effect that influences those around us. Marcy’s message is clear: our presence and actions hold immense power, and every moment is a chance to choose how we show up and make an impact.
Takeaways
Showing up involves being present in different roles: self, situation, and society.
Authenticity is key in how we show up and interact with others.
Goals should focus on the process rather than the quantity or outcome.
Being grounded in oneself, being ready for the moment, and being connected with the intent to serve are essential in showing up.
External circumstances can impact how we show up, but it is up to us to choose our response. Showing up is a mindset that involves being conscious and intentional in every moment.
The process of achieving goals is as important as the end result.
Reflection and self-awareness are crucial for personal growth and achieving goals.
Aligning our actions with our values and focusing on the process of becoming leads to a sense of fulfillment and success.
We all have the power to make a positive impact and should never underestimate our own worth and potential.
Quotes
"You just downshifted with me, Shiva. I just felt your body shift and your attention come right into the middle of this space with me."
"Find a cause outside of yourself. And you said bring appreciation and gratitude."
"We actually exist in two more roles. Our second role is a member of a situation. We are situation members at every moment."
