Igniting Passion & Disrupting Mediocrity
00:01:09
Speaker
time.
00:01:09
Speaker
And I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
00:01:15
Speaker
Hey friend, welcome back to all There You Are. Today's episode is inspired by a quote I stumbled upon recently. And so I was like, you know what, I need to share this.
00:01:26
Speaker
The key to unlocking greatness lies in daring to ignite your passion, disrupt mediocrity, and boldly stand for what truly matters.
00:01:38
Speaker
Like what? Like that quote. This isn't just a Pinterest post or a line you scribble in a journal. Although, you know, when we're done listening, go ahead, play back, write it down.
00:01:50
Speaker
Or let me tell you again, the key to unlocking greatness lies in daring to ignite your passion, disrupt mediocrity, and boldly stand for what truly matters.
Breaking Routine for Inner Passion
00:02:04
Speaker
Wow. It's a full-body wake-up call, right? A call to shake off the dust, silence the noise, and check in with yourself, right? Because if we're honest, sometimes we drift.
00:02:17
Speaker
I mean, it's okay. We're allowed to. Life isn't perfect. Sometimes life starts to feel like we're just going through the motions like work, errands, dinner, Netflix, sleep, and repeat.
00:02:30
Speaker
And while routine can feel safe, if we're not careful, it becomes a numbing loop that dulls our sunshine. Just you're made from war in my opinion.
00:02:42
Speaker
So today yeah I want to help you do what that quote says. We're going to disrupt the drift.
Finding Personal Fulfillment
00:02:50
Speaker
So let's talk about three core areas where I believe that we, you know, are invited back to help like reignite that fire in us once again.
00:03:01
Speaker
So number one, we're going to reignite your passion. Remember when you used to dream big, right? Without editing yourself. Before you talked yourself out of like those ideas that you've had and before the world convinced you, you needed to be reasonable.
00:03:21
Speaker
I want you to go back there for a second. What were you doing when you felt most alive? The vision of you still exists. It does. She's not lost, just buried underneath a mountain of expectations and responsibilities.
00:03:36
Speaker
But she's still in there, waiting for you to stop choosing what's safe and start choosing what sets your soul on fire. Ask yourself, what do I feel that lights me up?
00:03:50
Speaker
When do I lose track of time because I'm so into what I'm doing, you know? And when do I feel light up? Light up. When do I feel lit up?
00:04:01
Speaker
This is your clue. This is your nudge, right? And no, it doesn't have to be a business or something big life overhaul. It could be as simple as taking photos again.
00:04:13
Speaker
Writing poetry, learning how to salsa dance. um gonna tell you, I tried that one time. We were on a cruise and my kids and I and my husband and we were in Puerto Rico and we had taken a mojito class, not like a tour, and they taught us how to salsa dance.
00:04:30
Speaker
Yeah, it was so hilarious. I am not very good, but it was so fun and just laughing and to put yourself out there. You're just like, okay, okay, I got this.
00:04:41
Speaker
And just watching the kids want to lead the way that was truly, truly memorable. All right. Well, could also be starting a garden, volunteering with kids. Your passion doesn't need to be profitable.
00:04:53
Speaker
It just needs to be yours.
Pursuing Goals Boldly
00:04:56
Speaker
All right, we are going to disrupt mediocrity. We have been told that, you know, the goal is to be comfortable.
00:05:05
Speaker
Get the job, stay in the lane, play the rules. But you know what comfort can lead to? complacency, right? And that's not the vibe we're going for.
00:05:16
Speaker
We want to disrupt mediocrity. mediocracy Oh my goodness. Some days I just can't talk. It means you are going to refuse to settle for, right?
00:05:27
Speaker
Just fine. i'm putting in some air quotes. It's saying, I don't want to wake up every day dreading what's ahead. I don't want to keep saying someday to my goals.
00:05:38
Speaker
I don't want to perform a life that looks good doesn't feel good, right? I'm going to go say that one again. I don't want to perform a life that looks good, but doesn't feel good.
00:05:53
Speaker
So ask yourself, where have I been settling? Where am I playing small? And if you're not sure, look at the parts of your life where you feel resentment, maybe, or boredom.
00:06:06
Speaker
That's usually where you're settling for less than what you deserve. What if this week you made just one bold move to disrupt that? Maybe it's signing up for the course, saying no to something that drains you, scheduling some you time, pitching that idea, asking for help, or the ripple effect from that one move.
Courage in Beliefs & Values
00:06:34
Speaker
Total game changer, guys, I'm telling you. And number three, stand boldly. boldly. Stand boldly ah for what matters.
00:06:46
Speaker
Let's talk courage for a second because it takes courage to say, i care about this. I believe in this. I'm willing to stand up for this. Whether that's speaking up for yourself or advocating for your health, pursuing your healing, or simply owning your worth.
00:07:06
Speaker
You don't have to wait for someone to give you permission. We talk about that all the time. You just have to prove you're worthy of having a voice. And you know what?
00:07:18
Speaker
You are worthy.
Joy, Laughter & Positivity in Life
00:07:20
Speaker
You do have a voice. Like that is the whole point of this podcast is to show you that anything you want to do, anything that you want to say, everything is already inside of you.
00:07:32
Speaker
It's time for you just to rise up and say, you know what? i do matter and I totally got this. So standing for what matters isn't about being loud. It's just about being honest.
00:07:46
Speaker
It's about alignment. It's about showing up as you. Okay? Yes. Real talk. You know, I say it. and if all else fails, you just need more laughter in your life.
00:08:01
Speaker
Life is way too short to take everything so seriously. So just like I remind you, keep laughing at yourself. It doesn't matter if it's nervous laughter or if it's just being weird. You know, it's your life. It's your beautiful, bizarre, messy life. So laugh at yourself.
00:08:18
Speaker
Along the way, it really is freeing and just, I don't know, even if it gets somebody to look over at you and be like, man, that girl. No, you're like, man, that girl, because you know, look pretty fun over here, don't I?
00:08:33
Speaker
it's So just go on, do it, right? And maybe I'll go ahead and tell you a funny dad joke again, because it's been a while. Why do skeletons, why don't skeletons fight each other?
00:08:47
Speaker
because they don't have guts.
00:08:51
Speaker
I know, I know, i know But I told you, joy is medicine.
