We spend much of our life searching on the outside – for answers, for direction, and for happiness. We often fail to realize that everything is within us. We just need to turn inward and listen. Instead of doing what everyone does, therefore just becoming like everyone else, we need to unearth our uniqueness which we all have. Every one of us has special gifts and talents that we need to bring out into the world. Finding them and allowing them to blossom is our path to a fulfilled life. The Quest For You.

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.

Episode 402 – Everything is within us

  • Welcome back my friends
  • I am still inspired by our poem from Rainer Maria Rilke from yesterday
    • So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
    • it has an inner light, even from a distance-
  • my favorite 2 lines from this very short poem
    • where every word is beautiful and filled with meaning and wisdom
    • if you missed that episode – listen to it – you might enjoy is as much as I did creating it
  • Everything is within us
  • It’s the essence of why I called my podcast Quest For You
  • I wish for everyone to find back to themselves so they can access this inner light that Rilke talks about
  • Everything is within us
    • Love
    • Our purpose here on this planet
    • Our direction for this life
  • Its there
  • And it guides us
    • We pursue what we attracts us and we go after the things that we enjoy
  • But we don’t realize they come from within
  • We think the answers are on the outside
    • We orient ourselves on what everyone else is doing
  • That doesn’t necessarily mean we are off track
    • But it may take us longer
    • We make it harder than it needs to be
    • And we often struggle along the way
  • I think of my past relationships and my friendships
  • It required several failures for me to finally learn
    • Learning to love myself first
    • Which then resulted in pursuing what I love
    • And by bringing my love out into the world, I attract the right relationships into my life
    • And it still is not easy
    • Because I don’t always listen within
  • joy and fulfillment are an end destination many people strive for
    • the hill in Rilke’s poem that we are walking towards to
    • something we are striving to achieve
    • that we feel like we have to work to get to
    • but when we get there – its never as fulfilling as we had hoped
    • because happiness is not an end destination – to be found on top of a hill somewhere

 

  • we look for fulfillment on the outside
    • some else’s latest trends become our objective
    • the shoes, the purse, the house, the boat, the school, the career and so on
  • and – unknowingly
    • we all do the same stuff
    • we replicate what everyone else is doing
    • encouraged by our media who loves to give us the Top 10 of everything so we continue doing what everyone else already does
  • we need to find the inner light because that is where the direction for our life comes from
    • the voice in our heart
    • the song in our soul
    • the wings in our spirit
  • Everything is within us
  • we need to turn back to the self rather than looking outside
  • There is a reason we all look so different
  • We are supposed to be unique
  • But sometimes I feel we are like little robots
    • We all apply to the same top 10 schools
    • We want to work for one of the top 100 companies
    • We want to live in one of the top 10 cities
    • And so on
  • Unknowingly, we follow what is common and we miss what’s extraordinary
  •  
  • its no wonder people are so scared to step out into their life and express their uniqueness
    • its against the mainstream
    • its unusual and we don’t want to be that person
  • yet – we are here to create
  • there is so much inspiration within us and we have to give it space to come out
  • when we let it out
  • when we allow ourselves to be inspired
  • I know it feels amazing
  • That’s when I am my true self
    • When I write my episodes
    • When I am in nature
    • When I make someone smile
  • When you put your energy towards what brings you joy and what fills your heart
    • You are listening to your inner voice
    • That’s where all your dreams and your aspirations are
    • And that’s also where all the solutions are that you are frantically seeking
  • Allow yourself to be different
  • Allow yourself to dream and try out your crazy ideas
  • Luckily, with the endless possibilities that our modern world offers, we hear about so many more people that go against the mainstream
  • They are not afraid to dream big and take huge chances
  • In encourage you – find these people and let yourself be inspired by them
    • Look at those people that are in gym every day and get to know them
    • Sign up on Meetup and look for the courageous people that have created groups that you can join
    • Strike up a conversation with the person that you see working in your corner coffee shop regularly
    • Read the biographies of people that have accomplished the extraordinary
    • Collect the stories of people that travelled the world and started businesses in their bedroom closet – keep them in your journal to inspire you regularly
  • These are people that have rebelled
  • That didn’t replicate what others did
  • They created their own legacy
  • And we are surrounded by them
  • We just need to look
  • Often we get hung up on grand figures of the past that are not alive anymore
  • But in our daily life we can find people that do equal great things
  • Most likely
  • You wont find them in the bar or shopping at the mall every Saturday
  • They may not wear the latest fashion or stand in line to get into a fancy restaurant
    • In fact the hardest working people I know wear consistent outfits, often look like they don’t have a ton of money and follow a tightly dialed in routine
  • I heard this being said the other day on a podcast:
  • Courage is not the opposite of fear
  • Courage is the opposite of conformity
  • Its when you stand up and break the norm
  • Its not easy – that’s why it’s a real demonstration of courage when you do it
  • Do you know how long I was in misery because I felt my life was never measuring up quite enough to the standard?
  • I would compare myself to women my age – look at the fancy houses they lived in and the powerful positions they held in well recognized companies
  • And it would throw me into repression because I couldn’t see how I would ever get there
  • And if you heard my story – you know I tried
  • But all I really did was I conformed myself to what I thought I needed to do
  • As a result I was never happy
  • Today I am happy because I have simplified my life and don’t live by a standard anymore
  • I don’t need anyones approval of my apartment, where I live and work and how I make my money
  • Only my own
  • And that comes from within myself
  • I encourage you to ask yourself:
  •  
  • Where have you conformed in life?
  • Where have you conformed to the ways of your family, you culture, your town, just to try to fit in?
  • Maybe so you could be accepted and loved?
  •  
  • We are so afraid of others
    • What they might say or think about us
    • We adjust our behaviors and make decisions based on that
    • Isn’t that crazy?
    • And in the process of doing so we lose ourselves
    • Our uniqueness
  • And yet – we cannot avoid people not approving – no matter how much we follow the norm
  • When I decided to stay in the US to go to college – my family wasn’t happy
    • Cant you do it here?
    • Why so far away?
  • I thought they would be happy – college is a big deal – nobody in my family went to college
  • No matter what you do
    • People will still be mad at you
    • Those whose love and attention you want will probably not give it to you, no matter how you look
  • So why not be devoted to yourself alone?
  • Why not have that commitment to YOU first?
  • We are not here to please others
  • We are here to shine our light so we can inspire others
  • And by committing to yourself – you set the example to other people to do the same
  • By pursuing your dreams you show others that they can do it too
  • as you shine it in your happiness and fulfillment – as so many people who went after their dreams do – your radiance can’t help but be cast outward and reflect onto others
  •  
  • Try it
  • Flesh it out
  • Grab your journal and write it out
  • Pick one area of your life and imagine what it might look like if you conformed a little less and instead listened more to yourself – your desires and your needs
  • What would it be like?
  • Play with it – write it out
    • The job you don’t enjoy
    • The partner that doesn’t appreciate you
    • Your health that is deteriorating
  • Imagine a different outcome
  • Write it out – just to play with it
  • And believe it or not – when you do this – you are already taking the first step
  • Because you are listening to yourself
  • You might think it silly and that rational person shouldn’t act like this
  • But by listening to yourself you are actually the most rational person you can be
  • Notice how energy and enthusiasm fill you when you begin to imagine the impossible
  • Happens to me every time I do
  • It’s a great happiness booster
  • Start there
  • Imagine doing things you’ve never done before
    • notice the exhilaration and excitement that fills you
  • and then notice whats happens next
  • I still remember when I first recorded my voice on my iPhone – just for fun
  • And here I am – 2 years later over 400 episodes out in the world for everyone to hear
  • Everything is within us
  • All you have to do is let it out

Much love my friends
