Today I talk about the difficult time I had finding and figuring out how to listen to my inner voice. I struggled for nearly a year talking with a therapist looking for validation and permission. Finally, I figured out that I needed to search harder within myself and listen to my inner voice. That was when everything started to change for me, very rapidly and eventually it has gotten much easier!

Also, shout out to my man Eric P. Thomas (former guest on Dreamers Podcast) for the awesome shirt I am rocking today! Check out his company!

about a year of going to therapy to

7
00:00:18,900 –> 00:00:24,299
figure out and the whole time the answer

00:00:21,779 –> 00:00:25,830
was right in front of me so leading up

9
00:00:24,300 –> 00:00:27,779

00:00:27,779 –> 00:00:34,739
to a therapist I was coming week after

00:00:30,630 –> 00:00:37,500
week after week for an entire year and

13
00:00:34,739 –> 00:00:40,440
all I was doing was complaining about my

14
00:00:37,500 –> 00:00:42,510
working you know the things that weren’t

15
00:00:40,440 –> 00:00:45,390
going right at work how I was frustrated

16
00:00:42,510 –> 00:00:48,360
with the reactions i was getting from

17
00:00:45,390 –> 00:00:50,460
both some of the employees family and

18
00:00:48,360 –> 00:00:52,79
everything and I was just I was ready to

19
00:00:50,460 –> 00:00:55,379
give up and be fed I was fed up with the

20
00:00:52,79 –> 00:00:57,840
whole situation and I had a therapist

21
00:00:55,379 –> 00:00:59,910
that refused to tell me that it was ok

22
00:00:57,840 –> 00:01:01,800
leave he was not willing to give me that

23
00:00:59,910 –> 00:01:03,629
permission and i wrote about this in my

24
00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:05,548
book 31like changing concepts is that

25
00:01:03,629 –> 00:01:08,9
you don’t need permission from anyone

26
00:01:05,549 –> 00:01:12,479
except yourself to do things that is

27
00:01:08,10 –> 00:01:15,450
that you you you and you want to do

28
00:01:12,479 –> 00:01:19,710
me myself and I he has tagged me myself

29
00:01:15,450 –> 00:01:22,80
and I radio South Anthony days I she

30
00:01:19,710 –> 00:01:23,309
totally permission to give yourself our

31
00:01:22,80 –> 00:01:24,899
provision for anyone else to give

32
00:01:23,310 –> 00:01:27,180
yourself permission to do things that it

33
00:01:24,900 –> 00:01:30,689
is that you want to do and that you feel

34
00:01:27,180 –> 00:01:33,60
is right for you so it took me a year to

35
00:01:30,689 –> 00:01:34,710
figure out the finally give myself that

36
00:01:33,60 –> 00:01:35,640
permission to say you know what enough

37
00:01:34,710 –> 00:01:38,39
is enough

38
00:01:35,640 –> 00:01:39,540
I’m ready to move on and I i need to

39
00:01:38,40 –> 00:01:41,70
leave i need to go do something else in

40
00:01:39,540 –> 00:01:42,810
my life I don’t know what that is yet

41
00:01:41,70 –> 00:01:44,460
but I’m gonna figure it out i started

42
00:01:42,810 –> 00:01:48,869
down that path i started going back to

43
00:01:44,460 –> 00:01:50,9
school to work on getting my associates

44
00:01:48,869 –> 00:01:52,140
associates

45
00:01:50,9 –> 00:01:55,350
yeah associate’s degree in business

46
00:01:52,140 –> 00:01:58,560
management which wound up going for a

47
00:01:55,350 –> 00:02:00,689
little while for almost two years doing

48
00:01:58,560 –> 00:02:01,970
a bunch of courses to get some work done

49
00:02:00,689 –> 00:02:03,649
on that on

50
00:02:01,970 –> 00:02:05,690
degree and ultimately decided that

51
00:02:03,650 –> 00:02:07,460
wasn’t necessarily going to help me go

52
00:02:05,690 –> 00:02:10,910
where I wanted to go into things that I

53
00:02:07,460 –> 00:02:14,209
wanted to do so yeah I i really think

54
00:02:10,910 –> 00:02:17,210
that you need to be able to listen to

55
00:02:14,210 –> 00:02:21,200
your inner voice and then you you need

56
00:02:17,210 –> 00:02:23,540
to identify what is really really want

57
00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:26,209
out of what it’s telling you to do and

58
00:02:23,540 –> 00:02:28,940
then you can move on to amplify that

59
00:02:26,210 –> 00:02:30,650
message to yourself so you have the

60
00:02:28,940 –> 00:02:33,50
courage and you give yourself permission

61
00:02:30,650 –> 00:02:36,290
to go into the things that is that you

62
00:02:33,50 –> 00:02:37,520
want to do it’s so so important for you

63
00:02:36,290 –> 00:02:39,890
to be happy

64
00:02:37,520 –> 00:02:41,480
I you know some people say don’t follow

65
00:02:39,890 –> 00:02:43,160
your passion because that’s not gonna

66
00:02:41,480 –> 00:02:44,690
leave you the money but before you even

67
00:02:43,160 –> 00:02:46,10
think about money before you even think

68
00:02:44,690 –> 00:02:47,450
about any of that stuff

69
00:02:46,10 –> 00:02:48,950
think about yourself and the things that

70
00:02:47,450 –> 00:02:50,720
is that you want and the things that

71
00:02:48,950 –> 00:02:53,570
you’re doing in your life that are

72
00:02:50,720 –> 00:02:56,90
already making it miserable for you so

73
00:02:53,570 –> 00:02:57,680
you can start to make it better and it

74
00:02:56,90 –> 00:02:59,000
when it’s better for you it’s better for

75
00:02:57,680 –> 00:03:01,250
everyone else that was better for my

76
00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:04,70
wife and it was it ultimately has been

77
00:03:01,250 –> 00:03:07,310
better for everybody i know that i’m

78
00:03:04,70 –> 00:03:10,880
happier person in society and doing the

79
00:03:07,310 –> 00:03:13,190
things that it is that I love so listen

80
00:03:10,880 –> 00:03:15,260
to your inner voice amplified message to

81
00:03:13,190 –> 00:03:16,970
yourself and then start to make a game

82
00:03:15,260 –> 00:03:19,670
plan and go from there and you can even

83
00:03:16,970 –> 00:03:21,500
use the college ring book that I bro I

84
00:03:19,670 –> 00:03:23,660
as a game plan

85
00:03:21,500 –> 00:03:26,239
you know as a framework to build your

86
00:03:23,660 –> 00:03:28,549
game plan to move on and figure out what

87
00:03:26,239 –> 00:03:30,980
it is that you want to do with your life
