Join me on this Thanksgiving day 2020 with some gratitude, no matter how hard that might be to find this year. We can find gratitude in the past, by acknowledging all the wonderful experiences we have had. We can also find it in this present moment, and in the future.

The moments that are bigger than us tend to lead us into many directions – hiding, frantically searching for answers, or we feel overwhelmed. I have found that such moments, of which we have many this year, are meant to lead us back to ourselves. They require reflection and contemplation as it is often in that quiet time with ourselves that we get to the insights we need to move forward.

Its election week and I am less concerned about who wins, and more about what our reaction as a country will be to the incoming president. The word civility has been on my mind lately and this week is a good time to remind ourselves that we cannot afford to forget about it. Being polite may not always be easy, but its the more effective and productive way to deal with issues we don’t agree with and to treat people that are different from us.

I have been silent for a few weeks with this podcast and this episode is an attempt to explain my reasons. And while there are many potential explanations – the bottom line is this – I haven’t gotten it done. And while I am tempted to blame 2020 with all its newness and not-normalness, I have also have to be honest with myself. I had ideas, but they haven’t turned into action. This episode may resonate with many of you as I am certain we all in stuck in some areas of our life. And to get unstuck, we just need to take one small step. This episode is my first step.

Getting up earlier has been one of my most significant changes that I have made. It has not only brought me more time in my day, but it sets a different tone for my days. Instead of …
We like things that are easy. We try to avoid as much pain as we can. We want to pull through and get it over with. However, some of our biggest accomplishments in life have come from doing hard things.
I learned to smile more when I came to this country. And while I initially had to force myself to smile, I now notice all the amazing positive side effects that smiling brings.
Does it seem challenging to find an inner connection with ourselves? Our world can be noisy, overwhelming and distracting.
Yet, the direction for our life comes from within us.
The Quest For You Podcast is my mission to help you discover who you are. I will help you challenge yourself through daily guidance, motivation and inspiration. I want to help you find your direction.
Episode 19 – Contemplating the possibilities
Hello to the world.
Today I would like for you go along and follow my contemplation.
If you have not gotten out of bed, stay a few more minutes.
Or find a comfortable place to sit.
Just close your eyes
Breathe
Relax a little
And imagine for a minute –
That you can achieve anything you want
There are no obstacles
Your dreams come true
Career, relationships, financial, adventure
Imagine it for a minute
What would you do?
Would you hustle a little bit more?
Work harder on pursuing your dream?
Be ok with some discomfort for a while?
Maybe try one more time after you failed yet again?
If I could give you just a glimmer of certainty that your dreams may come true, would you go for it with more grit?
Because the truth is – you are uncertain what will happen.
And in the face of uncertainty you tuck your tail and rather take the easy road and give up
Or you don’t even start.
Lets not worry about it. What time does Game of Thrones start?
Distraction.
Settling
Not worth the fight
Is that you?
Why?
Just now you were able to dream a little and imagine living your dreams.
Why cant you translate into reality?
What is missing?
What are the little things that stop you?
What are the big things?
Is it your beliefs of your own worthiness?
Life is not a ranking system
There is not big bearded man in heaven that hits you over the head every time you say something wrong
There is no perfect life you have to life to be admitted to the gates to heaven
There are no rules to live by to be considered good and worthy
Maybe you stole something yesterday
Maybe you fought with your parents
Lied to your spouse
Or anything much more worse
today you can turn your life around with a click of a finger
with a decision to change
its never too late, no matter how old you are or what you have done
Do you have too many obstacles holding you back?
Is someone or something holding you back
The person in your life that is sucking up all your positive energy?
The house or town you cannot leave?
The talents you think you are lacking?
Are all these obstacles so big that you cannot overcome them?
Or can you think again – imagine yourself accomplishing that dream of yours.
Nothing happens until you take massive action.
Whats holding you back?
Procrastination?
Fear?
Fear of taking responsibility for yourself?
In order to meet the love of your life, you need to be free.
So if you are with someone who brings you down, then maybe its time for good-byes
In order to find your dream job, you need to have the character and the skills
So maybe its time to hustle and apply yourself
In order to start a business, you need funds, and people that help you
So maybe its time to get out and network
In order to discover what you want to do with your one amazing life, ask yourself how you can combine passion with purpose.
Which talents can you explore
Talents you deemed insignificant long time ago
Something others told you doesn’t pay
So you went the safer route
The unhappy route
Ask again
And imagine yourself living the life you really want
What does it look like?
Make time for contemplation like this regularly. Let your mind wander. Its good. Go in search of possibilities. Nothing happens. You are not jumping off a cliff. You are exploring.
