Task 11 is Select Your Path. Today's guest on the show is Melissa Dockum, Executive Administrator for Impact Actual. Melissa is a retired dancer who performed at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. She transitioned into a teacher and then during COVID life, course corrected her path.

08:10As a performer transitioning into teacher transitioning into, you know, well, COVID life, which basically killed the arts for a while, I'm conditioned to select my path multiple times, you know, it's not like I chose my nine to five job and stuck with that for the rest of my life.

13:17What you just said about being brutally honest, that was something that I had to learn to be honest with myself, and realize I'm doing what I should do, or what I've been taught to do. But deep down, I don't really want to do that I don't I don't want to take that path.

15:03 I felt this oppressive weight on my soul, that I was doing the wrong thing. I was on the wrong track.

26:09 To be honest, I journal I think write writing down your pros and cons can kind of help navigate that, but I, I really gravitate towards the what do I want? What do I need to do to get there? How will that make me feel? So that feeling that heart feeling is what I really actually want. And that can then guide my brain towards you know, where I want to go.

34:32I like to laugh at myself, because it's taken me so long to learn the same lessons about honoring I've been teaching honoring your body, mind, heart and soul staying fit across the powers. And we're talking here about the dumb zone, the fifth human power of boundary setting, having a healthy boundary around yourself first, even to the closest person we talked about five powers and five rings.

44:37 It is selecting your path is a process of being responsible, accountable. We talk about accountability all the time.
