Episode 419. #WisdomWednesdays: Nothing Is Ever Bigger Than the Ocean

It’s so easy to get lost in the twists and turns of life that we forget to appreciate the things we have in front of us. When this happens, we feel stuck in a rut and fail to remember who we truly are and find meaning in our experiences. That inhibits us from fully appreciating both the little moments and the bigger picture of the life that we’re living. In this episode, Rosie and Tessa discuss the experiences of a woman Rosie met at a beach and the powerful lesson that she taught her. You’ll discover that no problem is ever bigger than the ocean and how you can apply that to your situation. They also share their insights on accomplishment and finding inspiration in times of demotivation. Lastly, they share exciting news about Rosie’s book and an event that you won’t want to miss. If you’re searching for inspiration to get unstuck and start feeling passionate about life again, then this episode is for you!

Episode Highlights Pride and Accomplishment ●Rosie’s book is available now for preorder. ●She often gets asked, “Are you so proud of yourself? Are you so proud of your work?” ●Those questions always make her pause due to pride and internal inquiry; she isn’t quite sure that “pride” is what she feels about her work. ●Rather than proud, she feels accomplished that her efforts bore fruit. You Are Your Own Worst Critic ●Not feeling proud of her work might be an internal issue of being her own worst critic. ●In the process of acknowledging her work, she wonders if she would be proud if she did something differently. ●When she says she isn’t proud, she isn’t being hard on herself or self-deprecating. A Reminder to Aspiring Authors ●Writing a book also means promoting and selling it. ●There will be many interviews where you might have to repeat yourself and dig deep into the why you’re doing what you’re doing. The Story of the Midwestern Woman at the Beach ●When she was a teenager thinking about her problems and future, she decided to ditch school to go to Venice Beach. ●At the beach, Rosie encountered a Midwestern woman and told her that she was there to figure out her problems. ●The woman told her that there’s no problem bigger than the ocean. ●Upon hearing that, everything clicked — nothing is that big of a deal, so why was she so perplexed about a decision that she knew would serve her highest good? ●Listen to the full episode to hear the full story in more detail! Books That They See In A Different Lens ●For Rosie, some of them would be Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Light on Life by B. K. S. Iyengar, and A Path With Heart by Jack Kornfield. ●Tessa finds poetry soothing and keeps several poetry books on her nightstand. ●Some books that hit different for Tessa each time she reads them are any Mary Oliver book and The Prophet by Khalil Gibran. Appreciating Time and Life ●At the beginning of her journey, the Prophet was gifted to Rosie, and she was amazed because of its beauty and wisdom. ●We often lose the little moments in the mundanity of life, forgetting who and what we are. ●Remember that this time is valuable, and your life is meaningful, no matter how ordinary it might seem to you right now. ●Sometimes, you’ll find yourself glad that you never got what you always wanted. Getting Out of Your Funk ●When Rosie feels stuck, music is always her panacea. ●Rosie highly recommends watching the Beatles documentary if you’re searching for something that will make you feel good. ●Doing something different helped Tessa get out of her groove. ●If you feel stuck, surround yourself with inspired and committed people or briefly pull back from that energy to help yourself become unstuck. The Radically Loved Summit 2022 ●Another free Radically Loved Summit is happening on February 7-18. ●There will be phenomenal, incredibly inspiring speakers to share their wisdom. ●The event aims to create a space and opportunity for people to experience Rosie’s book, and each speaker was assigned a chapter. 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode [12:09] “Nothing is that big of a deal. Why am I so perplexed by making a decision that I know in my heart is going to serve my highest good?” [16:21] “We lose those little moments because of the mundanity of life, right? We forget how to remember who and what we truly are.” [16:45] “This time is important and valuable and your life is meaningful, and everything that you do every day doesn’t need to be extraordinary to be meaningful.” [25:28] “If you don’t have it, seek it out. If you don’t have inspiration, go seek it out.” [26:22] “Sometimes you’re too close to it, you can’t see it for what it is. And you need to pull back and view it from that peripheral space to remember how nothing is going to be as big as the ocean.” Enjoy the Podcast?
