You are not defined by the way you've been treated.

Think deeply about that.  How many times we have allowed people to 'make us' feel badly about ourselves. We have allowed those feelings of lack and unworthiness seep into our beings and determine the course of our lives.  Let's figure out where these beliefs originated and begin the process of dissolving them.  They do not serve us!!

We are discussing progress and how we need to be aware and appreciate even the littlest wins as a form of confidence building.  If we are consciously aware of ourselves and what we are capable of controlling we can experience a level of freedom that we never knew we had.

Today's episode is about the overarching question, Why are we here and what are you doing about it?

Touching on my journey of being an entrepreneur and being able to change myself, my mindset and my thoughts to lead me to making my dreams a reality.

Happy New Year!!  As I reflect, I have realized 3 main things that have allowed me to be free from myself.  I want to share them with you in hopes that it opens you up for the same freedom. 

Allowing, Learning new things and Judging less. Seems like a tall order, and it is, but the freedom you gain is nothing but pure beauty 

Who do you base your opinions of yourself on?  Do you base them on what you think, what others think?  or maybe you base them on what you thought you believed but was actually the opinions of others from long ago. This is a conversation at getting to the root and believing that Empathy is the route to freedom, forgiveness and a beautiful outlook on life.

There is so much power to our language and words which translates into energy and emotion.  How do we connect, are we understood?  At times we make it so much deeper than it needs to be.   Our life is ultimately about our connections w/ others and how we use our language to others and ourselves is everything. 

Who is in control?  You or your program?  Let's take responsibility for ourselves by growing in self awareness, staying woke on when we are conscious or running on subconscious loops of emotion.  Let's empower ourselves.  Who are we waiting for permission from?

In my weekly search to find inspirational teachings, I came across Dean Graziosi.  He teaches about an exercise he learned from a friend called the 7 Why's.  It really helped me extract some of my painful past going 7 layers deep as to why I am the way I am.  It is deeply introspective to figure out you Why so you can have it as fuel when you aren't at your best.

For my whole life when I thought about compassion it was something that I looked at as an outward emotion...to have compassion was for others.  In the past year of my research into myself and becoming self aware, I realized that I never had any compassion for myself.  I was very unforgiving and very very hard on myself. As a result of living this way, I suffered a lot and this outlook made it very difficult for me to have compassion for others as well. What I am now aware of is that compassion needs to be a 2 way street because when you can be easier on yourself the whole world softens and you can have a much easier, happier and fulfilled existence.
