Today I talk about the difficult time I had finding and figuring out how to listen to my inner voice. I struggled for nearly a year talking with a therapist looking for validation and permission. Finally, I figured out that I needed to search harder within myself and listen to my inner voice. That was when everything started to change for me, very rapidly and eventually it has gotten much easier!
Also, shout out to my man Eric P. Thomas (former guest on Dreamers Podcast) for the awesome shirt I am rocking today! Check out his company!

00:00:04,290 β> 00:00:11,280
unfortunately a big race is not here to
00:00:06,990 β> 00:00:14,580
be here with me here today today I want
00:00:11,280 β> 00:00:18,900
to talk about a topic that it took me
00:00:14,580 β> 00:00:21,779
about a year of going to therapy to
00:00:18,900 β> 00:00:24,299
figure out and the whole time the answer
00:00:21,779 β> 00:00:25,830
was right in front of me so leading up
00:00:24,300 β> 00:00:27,779
to the time which I was getting ready to
00:00:25,830 β> 00:00:30,630
leave my familyβs business i was going
00:00:27,779 β> 00:00:34,739
to a therapist I was coming week after
00:00:30,630 β> 00:00:37,500
week after week for an entire year and
00:00:34,739 β> 00:00:40,440
all I was doing was complaining about my
00:00:37,500 β> 00:00:42,510
working you know the things that werenβt
00:00:40,440 β> 00:00:45,390
going right at work how I was frustrated
00:00:42,510 β> 00:00:48,360
with the reactions i was getting from
00:00:45,390 β> 00:00:50,460
both some of the employees family and
00:00:48,360 β> 00:00:52,79
everything and I was just I was ready to
00:00:50,460 β> 00:00:55,379
give up and be fed I was fed up with the
00:00:52,79 β> 00:00:57,840
whole situation and I had a therapist
00:00:55,379 β> 00:00:59,910
that refused to tell me that it was ok
00:00:57,840 β> 00:01:01,800
leave he was not willing to give me that
00:00:59,910 β> 00:01:03,629
permission and i wrote about this in my
00:01:01,800 β> 00:01:05,548
book 31like changing concepts is that
00:01:03,629 β> 00:01:08,9
you donβt need permission from anyone
00:01:05,549 β> 00:01:12,479
except yourself to do things that is
00:01:08,10 β> 00:01:15,450
that you you you and you want to do
00:01:12,479 β> 00:01:19,710
me myself and I he has tagged me myself
00:01:15,450 β> 00:01:22,80
and I radio South Anthony days I she
00:01:19,710 β> 00:01:23,309
totally permission to give yourself our
00:01:22,80 β> 00:01:24,899
provision for anyone else to give
00:01:23,310 β> 00:01:27,180
yourself permission to do things that it
00:01:24,900 β> 00:01:30,689
is that you want to do and that you feel
00:01:27,180 β> 00:01:33,60
is right for you so it took me a year to
00:01:30,689 β> 00:01:34,710
figure out the finally give myself that
00:01:33,60 β> 00:01:35,640
permission to say you know what enough
00:01:34,710 β> 00:01:38,39
00:01:35,640 β> 00:01:39,540
Iβm ready to move on and I i need to
00:01:38,40 β> 00:01:41,70
leave i need to go do something else in
00:01:39,540 β> 00:01:42,810
my life I donβt know what that is yet
00:01:41,70 β> 00:01:44,460
but Iβm gonna figure it out i started
00:01:42,810 β> 00:01:48,869
down that path i started going back to
00:01:44,460 β> 00:01:50,9
school to work on getting my associates
00:01:48,869 β> 00:01:52,140
00:01:50,9 β> 00:01:55,350
yeah associateβs degree in business
00:01:52,140 β> 00:01:58,560
management which wound up going for a
00:01:55,350 β> 00:02:00,689
little while for almost two years doing
00:01:58,560 β> 00:02:01,970
a bunch of courses to get some work done
00:02:00,689 β> 00:02:03,649
00:02:01,970 β> 00:02:05,690
degree and ultimately decided that
00:02:03,650 β> 00:02:07,460
wasnβt necessarily going to help me go
00:02:05,690 β> 00:02:10,910
where I wanted to go into things that I
00:02:07,460 β> 00:02:14,209
wanted to do so yeah I i really think
00:02:10,910 β> 00:02:17,210
that you need to be able to listen to
00:02:14,210 β> 00:02:21,200
your inner voice and then you you need
00:02:17,210 β> 00:02:23,540
to identify what is really really want
00:02:21,200 β> 00:02:26,209
out of what itβs telling you to do and
00:02:23,540 β> 00:02:28,940
then you can move on to amplify that
00:02:26,210 β> 00:02:30,650
message to yourself so you have the
00:02:28,940 β> 00:02:33,50
courage and you give yourself permission
00:02:30,650 β> 00:02:36,290
to go into the things that is that you
00:02:33,50 β> 00:02:37,520
want to do itβs so so important for you
00:02:36,290 β> 00:02:39,890
00:02:37,520 β> 00:02:41,480
I you know some people say donβt follow
00:02:39,890 β> 00:02:43,160
your passion because thatβs not gonna
00:02:41,480 β> 00:02:44,690
leave you the money but before you even
00:02:43,160 β> 00:02:46,10
think about money before you even think
00:02:44,690 β> 00:02:47,450
00:02:46,10 β> 00:02:48,950
think about yourself and the things that
00:02:47,450 β> 00:02:50,720
is that you want and the things that
00:02:48,950 β> 00:02:53,570
youβre doing in your life that are
00:02:50,720 β> 00:02:56,90
already making it miserable for you so
00:02:53,570 β> 00:02:57,680
you can start to make it better and it
00:02:56,90 β> 00:02:59,000
when itβs better for you itβs better for
00:02:57,680 β> 00:03:01,250
everyone else that was better for my
00:02:59,000 β> 00:03:04,70
wife and it was it ultimately has been
00:03:01,250 β> 00:03:07,310
better for everybody i know that iβm
00:03:04,70 β> 00:03:10,880

00:03:07,310 β> 00:03:13,190
things that it is that I love so listen
00:03:10,880 β> 00:03:15,260
to your inner voice amplified message to
00:03:13,190 β> 00:03:16,970
yourself and then start to make a game
