And it's time for another quickie because there's always time to fit in inspiration. And I just want to say thank you guys so much for being here. It means the world to me when I see your posts on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter where you are paying forward these podcasts because when we pay them forward, they reach people who really need them. So there are some people praying to hear some of the advice that some of our guests guests give on these interviews. So this last weekend I got to spend time with some of the most epic human beings on the planet. And that was because Chris and I, my husband, we joined Lewis. How's greatness Mastermind? If you guys don't know who Lewis Howes is, you absolutely need to check him out. He has one of the top podcasts out there, the School of Greatness podcast. That's how I discovered Lewis Howes. And also this mastermind, he was talking about it on one of the, on one of his podcasts. And I know what a brilliant connector he is and I know what making those connections has done for his life and how fulfilling it's been and how much just beautiful experiences and information it's brought into his life. And when I heard that he was doing his mastermind, I knew that I had to be a part of it because I also desire to connect with incredible people doing incredible things. So what happens when you put yourself in a room of, of epic human beings who are committed to their own growth and also to tying everything that they do in their vision to something that helps impact other people in a large way. Magic happens. And of course, before I went to this Mastermind, I had a million things come up in my head, just like any human being does. We actually all shared this, that before we walked in the room, no matter who it was that was walking into this room, we all shared the Same humanness, the same thoughts of, am I going to be good enough? Am I going to be able to contribute enough? Am I going to be able to show up for these goals that I commit? And so I just want to share that it doesn't matter who you are, because truly I am in the room with people who work with, you know, different presidents. I'm in a room with people who make profound impact in the world, who work with some of the most elite people at the top of their game. And they still have these same questions when walking in to a situation like this. So, guys, it doesn't matter where or who or what. We all feel the same way. And it's about the people who just show up. Like the willingness to just show up and put yourself out there and to put yourself in these situations where you are going to gain an experience that is going to help you grow into the person that you need to be. And that is really the entire purpose that we're on this planet is our soul is only here to create experiences for itself so it can become what it was destined to be. So the only thing keeping you from becoming that person that you know that you already are, that dream that you have locked inside of you that's screaming at you, even if it seems unrealistic, if you have it and you think it, it is yours and it's yours to fulfill. And the only thing keeping you from doing that are the experiences that you create for yourself or the places that you put yourself to have an experience. So no matter what that is that you want, there is an experience out there for to have in order to become that person. So it's that whole theory of acting as if, right? So act as if. And all of a sudden you become. So your soul already knows what you are, your dream already knows what it is. You just need to put yourself in alignment or in the position or in the place or with the people in order to have that experience. So that's what this mastermind does. And we talked so much about vision and impact in this mastermind. And it really made me think of the quote, live less out of habit and more out of intent. So it's so easy if we don't put ourselves in these situations, to just fall back into living out of our habit, right? It served us like we've got these habits, they keep us alive. Maybe we're not doing everything that we want, but we have an okay life and it's just habitual, right? If we don't have a plan of action if we don't create these experiences, if we don't make sure that we are are creating experiences and scheduling it in alignment, or to the things that are in alignment to these big goals and dreams, which by the way, like I said, I truly believe it's our responsibility to make sure that we reach them. Because that's our purpose on the planet, is to live into our highest purpose and pay forward the gifts of whatever that is that comes with living in our highest purpose, whether that is abundance, so that you can pay forward abundance or pay forward the ideas around how you created that abundance. Whatever it is, it truly is our responsibility to live out that dream. So living less out of habit and more out of intention, how can you be intentional about your dream? So for me it was joining this mastermind, no matter how scary it was, and having trust and having faith that if I put myself in an experience that could potentially get me to the person that I want to become, could potentially put me in alignment with my goals and dreams, that I would just have the willingness to show up. And that's what I do. I just say, yes, this is in alignment. Yes, this is something that's going to help me become this person that I want to be. And even though I'm scared to death, I had many other words. Even though I am scared to death, I am willing to show up because I know that oftentimes it's just the willingness to put myself in a situation and an experience so that I can become that person by giving myself this opportunity. So don't rob yourself.
