Go After Your Passion!

As the end of 2017 approaches most of us are looking forward to 2018. But what if ending this year strong were to mean that the next can be better?

Theresa and Kristina talk about finishing 2017 Strong!

Going After Your Passion can bring up all kinds of anxiety and stress. You'd think that going after something you 'want' would bring only good emotions.

Well, it will but at times it brings up a variety of feelings. Some are surprising because they're unexpected and unplanned.

Listen as Theresa and I talk about how to practice mindfulness when going after your passion.

It's 'too late to start college' or 'it's to late to change careers'. Why do we put limits on ourselves? I don't know. I do it too, but I am aware of it.

First I want to welcome Theresa to the 'Go After Your Passion' Podcast!

Failure... I was thinking to day how I don't make good decisions... and how some of those have led to failure.

Failure is a lesson if you let it. Failure redirects you if need be. Failure puts you on your own road. Failure show's us our fear. Failure can motivate or paralyze. Failure brings up a myriad of emotions.

Notice I've not said that it is bad. Failure is not always bad.

We all fail at something: Jobs School Relationships Business'

Failure is not everything of all that I am. I've gotten back up and tried again and succeeded. I've called my failure's 'bumps in the road' because bumps do not stop you; they just slow you down. Don't let a failure stop you. You never know who is watching and needs to see you pick yourself up and dust yourself off and start all over again. (I'm gonna quote the movie 'Swing Time')

And when you do get back up remember to have compassion with yourself because starting over again or changing direction takes courage.

Being brave and going after your passion is not easy but brings about the most fulfilling life.

There will always be a 'what if....' or an 'If I only....'.

But there will be fewer if you take failure for what it is at the most basic: a lesson.

Now, if I could go back to the woman I was 7 years ago and tell her; don't worry. It will be hard but it will all work out in the end. And learn to trust your decisions. You'll be happy because of them. ~Kris

It has been quiet some time since I've uploaded a Podcast.

And it is more than a few things that have kept me away.... but I've faced my fear. I won't name all of my issues. But I'm back and ready to give again.

I feel like this year has gone way faster than others. I suppose that I am not the only one, but what I am saying in this podcast is to feel good about where you are and what you do!

Distractions keep us from our Passions! Sometimes we do not even know it is happening...
