00:01:05
Speaker
And remember, you're not late.
00:01:08
Speaker
You're right on time. 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 was one that was super fun and exciting ah to think about and now to record because it's personal, reflective, and hopefully super encouraging.
00:01:31
Speaker
We're diving into the big important question. Why did you decide to chase your dreams in the first place? And maybe even more important, what were you longing for?
00:01:45
Speaker
When that dream first knocked on your heart. So I want you to really think about it. Go back to the moment, you know, that spark that lit you up inside that moment where your spirit whispered, there's more for me.
00:02:01
Speaker
That's not random. That wasn't hype. That was your soul speaking truth. Now fast forward, have you stopped listening to it? Are you ignoring the nudge, waiting for the perfect time, or doubting whether you still have what it takes?
Milestones and Time Management
00:02:19
Speaker
Let me tell you what happened to me this past week. Okay, guys, I hit 10,000 followers on Instagram. Like what? That number used to feel so huge and out of reach.
00:02:33
Speaker
And when I started, I truly thought that it was going to like lead me down this huge financial journey, maybe even a side hustle. There's still room for that yet, right?
00:02:45
Speaker
But somewhere along the way, i realized something. It's not about the money. Deep down, don't think it ever really was. Again, still open for it, LOL.
00:02:58
Speaker
It's truly about the people. It's about you, friend. The conversations, the healing, the connection. I've heard it said time and time again, and I've said it myself.
00:03:10
Speaker
If your work impacts just one person, it's all worth it. And I truly, truly, truly believe that with my whole heart. People ask me all the time, how do you even have time for all of this?
00:03:25
Speaker
A full-time job and this podcast and all the extras? And the truth is, some days i don't have time. Some days i make time. I have to set aside things.
00:03:38
Speaker
time every single day, stay focused and knock things out, and most importantly, stop overthinking everything. Yup, we've talked about that one before, haven't we?
00:03:51
Speaker
But honestly, it needs to be said again because overthinking is the fastest way to talk yourself out of the dream you were born to chase. I've learned that the hard way.
00:04:04
Speaker
And if you don't have some kind of systems like set in place, right, your brain will run you completely ragged. You need to set your systems up, seek out knowledge, and don't let it paralyze you.
00:04:19
Speaker
And most of all, remember why you started. This journey should bring you joy, even when it feels like a chore. There should still be that flicker of passion, right? Of purpose.
00:04:32
Speaker
And if not, it's time to recalibrate. Here's what I've learned so far.
Empowerment and Taking Action
00:04:38
Speaker
You don't need permission to pursue what lights you up. You don't need a big following to make a big impact.
00:04:47
Speaker
You do need to stop doubting yourself. You do need to remember what pulled you towards this path in the first place. there's a little poem for you.
00:05:00
Speaker
When the knock first came, it wasn't loud. It was quiet, like a whisper at the edge of your thoughts. It didn't come with applause or certainty, but with curiosity and courage in disguise.
00:05:16
Speaker
You paused, you doubted, but still something inside, maybe just maybe. So you cracked open the door and that's all it took.
00:05:28
Speaker
The light came in. Your challenge, I want you to take 10 minutes and write this down. What moment first made you say, i want more of this?
00:05:42
Speaker
What were you truly longing for when the dream began? What is one small step you can take this week to honor that dream? And I want you to say it out loud.
00:05:55
Speaker
I still want this. I still believe in it and i still believe in me.
00:06:04
Speaker
Would you keep going if this was your story? I know for me personally, i say heck yes. You know why? Because you never know who's watching, listening, or healing from what
Listener Feedback and Positive Mindset
00:06:16
Speaker
you've shared.
00:06:16
Speaker
It does make you stop right in your tracks and You never know who is going to listen to this. And I go for my podcast or what I post out on Instagram.
00:06:29
Speaker
But I know that I came out here for a reason. um And just today, somebody reached out and said, Danielle, I was looking through your highlights and I was checking about your mindset, you know, reels and the things that you've shared. And I want you to know that you've encouraged me again.
00:06:47
Speaker
i want you to know that you've inspired me again. That to understand and remember when we show up with a positive mindset and allow the good things to flow in and the good things to flow out, it just sets you up for so much goodness.
00:07:06
Speaker
And that is truly what keeps me going out here. 100%. really just love putting a smile on somebody's face. And I love learning from other people.
00:07:17
Speaker
um You just never know who you're going to be connected with. And that truly is so fun meeting new people from all kinds of backgrounds and then being able to connect and to laugh over things, you know, that you both have an interest in.
00:07:31
Speaker
So I just think it's important to open yourself up and it doesn't have to be on social media. It doesn't have to be, you know, um you know, at work, but somewhere in your life across you know, wherever avenues that you get to carry out your day, allow yourself to be open.
Gratitude and Personal Growth
00:07:50
Speaker
And you just never know who might be the one that brings you that inspiration or who might give you that little knowledge of nugget of, you know, new information that can just help you grow or just be that little missing link of like validation or and don't know, encouragement, or almost like some people like to say your God winks or those little whispers where you feel it in your heart and you know, you're like, Jesus, you are so good to me.
00:08:20
Speaker
Thank you. So continue to just lead your day and your life with gratitude. And just let this again, be your sign to stop ignoring the knock of the door.
00:08:32
Speaker
Your dream is valid. Your voice matters. Your consistency is your power. And remember, you're not late. You're right on time.
00:08:44
Speaker
So let's keep growing together, guys, okay?
