Podcast // Currents Episode 4: Our Ventures are our Teachers

We choose and are chosen by the ventures we are here to create in the world for a reason. More than just a thing to do (and try to make work or succeed), they invite us into our purpose, they teach us lessons about life and ourselves - if we let them.

Like everything in our lives, our ventures are mirrors for us - constantly showing us (through challenges and successes) what we value, what frustrates us, what we want most deeply.

But beyond just being a mirror, what if our ventures are actually their own beings? Entities with their own highest expression, wisdom, and desires? This would mean a deeper level of relationship - and as we know, relationship is one of life’s biggest teachers.

I can’t take credit for this idea, it’s described in depth in Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Big Magic”, but it’s an incredibly compelling idea that I’ve found to be super helpful in how I relate with (and continue to learn from) the ventures I’ve chosen to pursue in this lifetime.

This episode speaks a bit to the potential and power of seeing our ventures as our teachers - to realize genuine success, but also our own growth and transformation.

I hope it serves and that you find it helpful in navigating your own questions, struggles, and success with the endeavors you’ve chosen to be in relationship with and to bring into this world.

TLDR, if you want to know something about how to make your venture happen, ask it.

Enjoy!
