How do people do it and get started on their passion projects?

How do they connect what they do by day and bring it into the passions they practice by night. 

Sometimes hearing someone else's beginnings can be inspiring or encouraging. Hearing the journey of another can de-mystify the journey you are avoiding.

Join me by listening to my conversation with the host of Drew vs. The World and how he started podcasting. His inspiring story will invite you to consider what stage you may be in with your personal goal and it may shave off some time on any stand still you may be experiencing. 

How are Legends made?

What makes a person legendary?

Who do you deem as legendary from your perspective?

Each person can likely name a person they consider to be legendary. That person would’ve likely impacted their lives in a way that has changed their thoughts, impacted their experiences and crafted their memories. 

We each have the opportunity to be legendary and in doing so we begin the process of leaving a legacy. 

Tune in to this weeks episode as this topic is explored with music and life enthusiast Carl Gillispie.

Relationships can be misleading. Understanding where people stand when it comes to your friendships is a pretty big deal. This factor often determines what you expect and what you should invest. 

Do you have a strategy for recognizing the different kinds of relationships in your life? Do you know who you can trust with what? Do you know who you can turn to in times of need or celebration?

How you perceive your relationships can either allow you to grow and maintain focus on your priorities and your purpose or they can create a lot of heartache, frustration and confusion. I want them to help you grow and want to invite you to consider your current relationships so you can prioritize them accordingly. 

Tune in to this episode and listen in on a conversation with Alliston Thomas on relationship building. 

The word when is used frequently in our storytelling and in lines of questioning. It allows us to define, clarify and elaborate. It becomes unfortunate when, when becomes a barrier to the next step in our lives. Has the month of January come to an end without you making concrete headway on your vision for 2020? Has the word 'when' interfered with your taking action? Do you need to answer your personal questions of 'when will..?' or reframe your 'when I...then I" statements in order to progress? If this is you or you just need a reminder of your part in moving the needle on your purpose, take a moment and listen to today's episode. 

Are you setting goals or mapping out your vision? There is a difference between setting a goal and casting a vision. A goal that is not tied to a vision can lead to discouragement and difficulty sticking to a plan. Setting a vision allows you to be strategic and intentional about the goals you set for yourself and ultimately lead to feeling more accomplished. Consider your plans for 2020 and see if you need to cast your vision.

Time. A commodity we each receive in equal doses, yet may not necessarily have the same to show for it. Just like cash, how we invest our time will determine the return on investment we can anticipate. How are you investing your time? What do you see around you that is a reflection of how your time was spent? Do you need to reconsider how it is used? Do you need to continue on the same path with tweaks for improvement?
Let's consider time and how we can ensure we are winning and learning as we embark on new journeys or attacking the goals set. 

Being you should not involve suppressing your uniqueness or individuality. Honoring yourself and your person by allowing your true self to be displayed is the greatest gift you can offer the world around you. When you celebrate yourself you give others permission to celebrate and enjoy your gifts.

We can sometimes feel pulled towards a course of action that cannot be explained. Trying to rationalize the internal sensing or knowing is only natural but often leads to dissonance in our being. We find ourselves pulled into polar opposites trying to accomplish one goal. Our intuition may not always make sense but it's purpose is to serve you and help guide you on your path. Learning to recognize and trust that nudging is the task at hand.

Relationships are hard to come by, so it is understandable that we often stick them out long after they have expired. You could turn a blind eye to these scenarios but have you considered the toxicity of the relationship? Have you considered how it may be interfering with the achievement of the goals you have set for yourself? Or have you developed new skills such as conflict resolution, boundary setting, etc.? 
Relationships are a crucial part of our individual development. Just as they can help build us they can also be(become) destructive to us. Remaining present in your relationships enough to recognize the signs of where you are in that friendship in order to continue to tend to that relationship or to prune it out of your life for your health.
