One Life with Donny Raus

Each of us has an internal clock this is ticking. When it stops, will you have done everything you wanted in this life? Age serves us as a reminder that our time is temporary and that if there are things that we want to do, we must make good on them now, because time waits for no man. What would you regret having not done in this life? The impact of doing the thing is greater than you could ever imagine...

Life will always give you exactly what you need, but it requires your participation. It requires action. Faith is the cure all for inaction, because with it, you're willing to do things that once seemed impossible, trusting that you're being guided and that life is happening for you. If you're feeling stuck, this episode will help you gain momentum, as you will uncover the next steps to move your towards your outcome.

The only thing preventing you from getting what you want is the story you tell yourself as to why you cant have it...  What are the limiting stories you tell yourself as to why you can't have the life you desire? In this podcast story expert Shiraz Baboo will explain how to become aware of stories in your life, how they've shaped you thus far, and how it is us that gets to choose what the story will be going forward. The key is awareness.  What will you create with a new story?

Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right. Our stories are like a spell that we cast over ourselves. They're picked up from our environments and their validity often go unquestioned. What if there were a way to not only become aware of the stories you tell yourself, to awaken from the slumber? What kind of impact would that have on your life? Sometimes it requires nothing more than observing the thought happening and realizing that the very fact that you're observing it means you're separate from it.

The best way to predict the future is to create it. If you're like many people who wonder why life isn't going their way, you need look no further than your own focus. With infinite possibilities open to us, where do you put your focus? Do you focus on what could go wrong or do you focus on being excited about the opportunities and possibilities of everything going write. Whichever you focus on will give you a very different experience in life. In this episode I share an experience while in Miami, Florida and the awareness it gave me on how to create my reality.

Nothing changes without a demand first being placed on it. This is especially true as it relates to the desires you have for your life. Action is the catalyst that gets the wheels turning, ultimately moving you towards a new demand (action) to be taken towards its realization. Everything you want is in the unknown, but if you follow the breadcrumbs, as explained in this episode, you'll eventually find your way to the. very thing you want. 

If you keep putting off your dreams, you will eventually look back, realizing that the time has passed and you may no longer have the time, health, or finances to do the things you wanted to do.  The road of "someday" ultimately leads to a life of regret. What are the things you've been putting off? What are those experiences that you know would bring you so much joy and would enrich your life? In this episode we'll get you acquainted with your life's desires and ultimately the realization that now is the time to make good on them.

What if failure is the only way forward? Culturally we avoid the "F" word, but the truth of the matter is that we fail on a daily basis. The only time we fear it, is when we give the failure a false meaning, rather than seeing it for what it is, feedback to take a new step forward. There's always something to be gained in every unsuccessful attempt. Realizing this is what allows you to make advances and achieve your outcome. In this episode we'll talk about what it looks like to fail "smart".

How do you get clear about what in life?  Answering this question might make leave a lot of people tense with anxiety. However, I'm here to tell you that the answer is a lot easier than you think and can be summed up in two words: Experience and feeling. New experiences give us distinctions with regard to our preferences. These distinctions drive future decisions and the process continues... 

Variety is the spice of life, but sometimes one negative experience can close you off to a life of magic. This happens when we create blanket beliefs such as, I didn't enjoy _____ and therefore I will not enjoy any _____.  It's like saying you had a bad flying experience and therefore hate all  traveling. It sounds stupid and yet our lives are filled with unquestioned beliefs such as this. It is by uncovering these biases that we open the doors to new possibilities and new experiences of life.
