Episode 581 – Love over Fear with Amana Harris

  • Welcome to QFY – I am Janine and this podcast is here to help you reach your highest potential
  • I share topics that allow you to reflect on where you are and where you would like to be
    • That inspire you to think and try something different
    • And that give you tools and ideas to take action towards a better you
  • This year 2020 is almost halfway over and I think we are still trying to clean our lenses to gain a clear vision
    • A 2020 vision
  • And I am doing the same
  • Especially In the last weeks I have written and spoken less, and listened more
  • And today I bring you one of the people I have listened to
  • Every time we become silent and make an effort to listen, we can learn something new, gain a new perspective and most importantly, may change something about our life as a result
  • And my interview with Amana certainly has done that
  • Amana Harris is the Executive Director of Attitudinal Healing Connection, or AHC here in Oakland
  • Attitudinal Healing is an international organization based on the idea that our attitude determines our level of happiness
  • Amana speaks about the The Twelve Principles of Attitudinal Healing that lead to love and away from fear.
  • she talks with passion about how AHC here in Oakland takes a different approach to achieve the same mission of healing
  • if you have not heard about AHC before, I strongly recommend you check their highly important work out at ahc-oakland.org
  • and maybe even consider supporting them, something I plan on doing
  • often in life we wait for clear vision so we can lay out a detailed plan that describes how we get from A to B
  • I think this year is helping us learn that we don’t always need to see clear clearly and yet still can take purposeful action
  • In this insightful conversation Amana challenges us to think outside the box and do better
    • And we don’t need to have all the answers to do so
  • Look around
  • Look at your community
  • Look where help might be needed and who you, with your unique skills and strengths can contribute
  • The tendency in uncertain times is often to draw inward and become mired in our own worries and fears
  • Amana encourages us that love is only a decision away and once we make that decision, everything follows from that
  • And with that I leave you to listen, enjoy and learn from this wonderful conversation with a person that has dedicated herself to add more love to this world
  • And I wish that it stirs you into a new direction, and maybe it motivates you to try to shine with your light a little bit
  • Just like I hope to do with every episode of this podcast
  • But this time, I also decided to listen to someone who knows how to do it.

Enjoy and please check out Amana and the amazing work that AHC does in the Oakland community

Much love

The moments bigger than us – Quest For You 598

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. 

Start every day with intention and direction

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.
