Advice I’ve began to hear more and more around the personal development space is that it’s alright for things not to be ok. That it is alright to acknowledge when things aren’t going well or even how you want them to be. Today's show is about the importance of this advice. Because what this does is give you a doorway into a new way of being. In our culture many of us are taught that we have to fix things when they are wrong, in fact depending on the subject, it’s almost blasphemous to simply allow things to be wrong. It’s certainly uncomfortable for many of us. What this acknowledgement does is create a culture of people that have have an incredibly hard time sitting in other people’s discomfort.

If we don't learn to prioritize ourselves, we aren't able to serve anyone else either. We must spend some time being selfish before we can learn to be good for someone else. We don't serve the world by not knowing what we want and by being unsatisfied with what we get. Today's show is to highlight the need for self awareness.

We ALL carry around stories that aren't ours. When we tell ourselves the wrong story for a certain amount of time, it is likely to form our belief system. An unproductive belief system is likely to become a pathology in our lives and keep us from what we really want. In today's show I talk about all of the different ways we pick up baggage and the imperative for us to ask ourselves what is true and what is simply programming.

The most dangerous way to live is lukewarm. When the water is only warm enough that it doesn’t give you a reason to leave, you’ll find that you tolerate what you don’t want and you’ll stay in it an environment that doesn’t serve you for far longer than you should. In today's episode I break down the dangers of a 'lukewarm way of living' and how we can push back against the mentality that would have us settle for a life that is less than we deserve or desire.
