Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast

I love this quote by Brene Brown: "The universe is not short on wake-up calls; we're just quick to hit the snooze button."   Why is that? What is it about sleepwalking through our lives that is so magnetic? Is it perceived comfort? Is it momentum? Is it familiarity?   The only way to truly live the life of your dreams is to WAKE UP and experience it.   Today I talk about this concept of waking up and realizing the only way to actually LIVE the life you dream about is to wake up and take action.   I mention a poem by Rumi (below) and also my course REAL Me: Intensive. Here is the link for more info: https://realmecircle.com/REAL-ME   Rumi poem:

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep.

No one ever said life was going to be easy. It's not. There are hard choices and hard situations and hard obstacles.   But you have a choice.   It's going to be hard to do the right thing when so many others are making other choices.   Choose it anyway.   In today's episode I share some of the seemingly random thoughts I've been kicking around recently. Among the topics are discernment, character, reputation, and choice.

What does it mean to discern before you decide? And how often do we really actually decide on anything?

Today's stream-of-consciousness chat is inspired by my Saturday Mastermind group that has been meeting together in person and virtually for nearly 14 years. I took 1 1/2 pages of notes at that virtual gathering, and here I'll share insights about ego, Truth, Higher Self, anger, contrast, comparison, and much more.

Steve Jobs said you can only connect the dots of your life looking backward.

When you do that, what do you observe? Things you wish had been different? Or the ways the choices you made brought you right here, right now?

The way your mind is set is everything.   Today I talk about some of the ahas I've been having by studying Napoleon Hill's "new" book Outwitting the Devil: The Original Unedited Complete Text.   When you look back on your life, do you have regrets or do you see how everything is lining up perfectly to take you on the next adventure?   I also talk about our upcoming event: Chill Out.

When will NOW be the right time for you to actually live the life you only dream about?

Today I share some thoughts about shifting our focus from the someday mentality to being what you desire to be someday right now today.

In order to live the life of your dreams, you will have to wake up. And today is as good as day as any to do just that!

I talk about an event coming up in January of 2023 called Chill Out. Here is the link to register: https://chilloutfgo.eventbrite.com.

 

Today I riff about this concept of FOMO: The Fear of Missing Out and what it might cost each of us in our reasonable minds.

Instead of worrying about what other people are telling us, what would happen if we got REAL with ourselves and determined what we REALLY desire instead?

Here is more information about our event in Fargo in January: https://chilloutfgo.eventbrite.com. 

I say it's $100 early bird pricing - I meant to say it's $100 OFF the price. Sorry for the confusion!

When I learn something, I get excited to share it. I think everyone will want to learn what I think is interesting and exciting and when others don't have the same feeling about that, I used to get really down. I wanted outcomes and possibilities more for people than it seemed they wanted them for themselves.   But then I had an aha.   Today I share some of my new insights about abundance, imposed learning, and money. I reference A Course in Miracles and I read from A Course of Love.   If you're interested in learning more about my upcoming events, here's REAL Me: Intensive: www.getrealcircle.com.
