Living Your Purpose
Manage episode 320466436 series 3008771
In today’s episode, Kristin is joined by Sara Deacon, Fabio Bonacquisto, Julie Weigand and Caryn Willens to talk about living your purpose. Oftentimes we tend to dim our light just because we’re afraid of showing others our capabilities. We’re afraid of being judged or not achieving the standards of society which gets in the way of showing our true potential. It’s important to remember that holding back our authentic selves will only lead to depriving the world of our gifts and talents.
The group begins the conversation by sharing their thoughts on a video they all previously watched about living your purpose by Lisa Nichol. Each of the members shared inspiring realizations from the video. They reiterate the importance of letting your light shine and not allowing fear to hold you back. Towards the end of the episode, Kristin shared a wonderful poem called Greatest Fear by Marianne Williamson which is about not letting your fears make you small.
Episode Highlights
2:50 Maybe the dream isn't like this grandiose picture of lavish excess wealth and abundance but maybe it's simple. I just want to have the time and the peace of mind and the presence to be with the people I love and to pour into them in the best way possible.
4:20 I loved how she said that when we hold back our authentic selves were depriving the rest of the world of our light and our gifts.
6:27 One thing that stuck out with me was like at the end when the whole crowd started to give thanks and it just showed that when someone has a message and then they share it with other people, it actually does resonate with everyone else.
14:25 Our Greatest Fear by Marianne Williamson
16:10 If we hide our light under a bushel, if we deplete ourselves and say, I'm not good enough, we're not just affecting ourselves, we're affecting the others that don't get it too and sometimes we need that to be our motivating force as well.
17:36 Instead of being afraid of that light that I have inside me, embrace it and take it to that next level.
20:30 A support system is so important even if it's just one person because very often we are taught to think small and it prevents us from bringing forth what we do have inside to share.
