Limitless Level

In this episode I am speaking with a friend of mine Dane Perrin. Dane is a health and fitness advocate who is devoted to his journey of being vegan. After learning, researching and watching documentaries, he was convinced that going vegan was the key to transform his health and look and feel better. 

He shares his background growing up and the radical shift he made in his diet years ago to transform his health and his life. Going from a big meat eater to a straight up vegan, he instantly noticed changes in his physique and energy level. He talks about how it kicked off his love for calisthenics and bodyweight training where he experienced new levels of performance and ability that excited him more.

Dane is growing his presence on social media and talks about his youtube channel where he shares healthy and fun vegan recipes and educate people on the benefits of going vegan for your health and the environment. And by demonstrating his skills and love for vegan cooking and dishes, he shows just how flexible and fun being a vegan can be!

Dane is very well educated and dispels some common myths about veganism and sheds some light on the advantages versus being a meat eater. Dane is full of energy and enthusiasm and his personality will lighten your spirits especially if you feel a little discouraged about the idea of going vegan or if you don't even want to buy into what he shares, I'm sure you'll appreciate and respect him as he is very understanding of other's opinions and choices!

In this episode I discuss the concept of growing pains and the pain of playing small. We experience pain in life, physical, emotional, psychological. However, when it comes to stepping outside of our comfort zones, people back down. We all want to experience comfort and live comfortably. It's just human nature to do so. However, I have learned that our soul yearns for more and it requires getting out of our comfort zones so that we can awaken. Just because you grow up physically doesn't mean you can just stop growing mentally and spiritually. If your basic needs are met and you are satisfied, that can actually be a very dangerous place to be for too long.

The pain of growth is discomforting at times but when you go through with it, you feel fulfilled, accomplished and inspired. And when you continue to play small in life, you pay the price in the long run. Evolution calls for us to grow. This comes from personal development and new experiences that get us out of our comfort zone. Just like building muscle with weight resistance training, you experience temporary pain but you continue with it because you know it leads to growth of new muscle tissue. In the same way, to grow your income, your career, your relationships, it calls for temporary discomfort to evolve to the level. But if you continue to play small, you will pay the price in the long run. Change is hard and being stuck is hard, so choose your hard. One appreciates the other depreciates and you have the choice!

In this episode I break down the difference between motivation and inspiration and why we need to look to inspiration for a sense of drive, wellbeing and fulfillment. Inspiration ignites the soul and keeps the flame burning long after the effects of motivation have worn off. If we are to thrive in 2021 and beyond, we need inspiration. And where do we get it? Well you can be inspired by others but the best way is to inspire yourself. Because when you are intrinsically driven, you will have lasting energy to express that motivation cannot give you. So if you were lacking motivation in 2020, perhaps it's time to shift gears and become inspired. I discuss in more detail in this episode on the importance of inspiration and how to be inspired!

In this episode I am sharing three "A's" that are vital traits that will determine our make or break in 2021, and that is Awareness, Adaptability and Alignment. 2020 was a challenging year for all of us. The coronavirus revealed to us what is truly important and valuable to us by taking away certain rights. But despite, many of us gained new insight, perspective and wisdom (not to mention more free time!) It changed the way we looked at the world, society and people. But overall, we all gained something from it. And it is my firm belief that this pandemic happened for our benefit. 

I do not say these things out of ignorance but from the awareness I have gained. I have a new understanding and level of consciousness that has shifted my perspective on the events of 2020 and life overall. I realize that everything happens FOR us, not to us. That is the power of awareness and it doesn't come by accident it is a choice to develop it. And in being proactive in your personal development, you put yourself in a place where you fear less because you are aware of a higher power at work and that God is working together for our good and the good of this world despite how ugly it may seem at times.

We also need to be adaptable. These are changing times and the Universe is not waiting for anyone to adapt. In order to withstand the test of time, it is a matter of being more adaptable to change. Your ability to respond to life and how it unfolds will determine your make or break moving forward. To be strong is not enough, we must adapt and become more resourceful, and when we do, opportunity shows up to better our lives, physically, financially, relationally, everything.

Finally, we need to be Aligned. Alignment is integrity and integrity is integration. To embody what you say with what you do. To determine what you stand for and not back down from. It is about bringing your whole being, physical, mental and spiritual into unison. You set boundaries out of self respect and don't cut corners for quick fixes. You focus on being all about quality, and being truly authentic. When you are in alignment, you are congruent. You live in a state of certainty, clarity and sense of purpose. You live intentionally, not accidentally. It is in alignment that you create a sense of certainty and self control. Afterall, we have no control over the events of the world and we are uncertain of what's going to happen. So to have certainty within, we focus on what we can control, and that is enough to shift our lives radically and make the world a better place together!

On this episode I am going deep into what it means to go inward and explore the depths or our being. We hear all the time that it's the journey that counts, not the destination but more importantly, it's embracing the 'inner' journey that can radically transform our life experience.

How many of us like to travel and make such an effort to make sure we reach our destination? Well in the same, way the inner journey can be just as and more fascinating and worthwhile especially when you understand just how amazing our bodies are and how much distance there really is inside of us. Our systems, organs, glands cover an incredible amount of distance. No human creation compares to God's creation of mankind and so I talk about just what it means to explore ourselves on a spiritual journey and I'm sure you will be left with new insight and perspective on what it means to be human!

In this episode, I am speaking with a friend of mine from Jacob Chinyaradzo. We are both members of our local church where I got to know more about him and his love for fitness and faith in God. Jacob shares with us his journey from moving from Zimbabwe at a young age to Canada by adoption of his Godmother Jan and how things were growing up in Canada. He talks about his discovery and talent for running which extended into various aspects of athletic performance and fitness. He has been taking a program in Strength and Conditioning and shares with us his personal experience with it and what he has learned with the importance of having a strength based exercise routine in place for the foundation of any and all areas of fitness and athletic performance. Jacob also shares about how his evolving faith journey lead him into the direction he aspires to go in. And his message for people is that fitness is a tool for your personal benefit especially for mental health and also your spiritual development.

To give yourself grace and know when to back off or push harder.
