Episode 98-Ignite Your Purpose
#Practice what You #Preach
Today John Barrett and myself go off deep into the #rabbitwholeon the fact that we have to #practice what we #preach as well as holding our own feet to the fire.
It is that simple, and we then also speak about how in truth none of have the entire story-the whole picture-none of us are given ALL then information yet we base all of our thoughts actions and beliefs and even faith into something we truly do not have all the facts on : Lets listen as if we could actually learn something...
An example would be lets say the #Roman #Empire and all we are taught about it...ok none of us where there correct and this happened a long, long time ago, so who wrote the history? Did all events get recored as they happened?( or did people fill in info as the years went on) — who was in charge of keeping records? What was kept out of the records? What was not said or happened behind the scenes we know nothing about? Yet we talk as if all we were taught is the stone cold truth and facts.We have only ever drilled maybe 1-2km into the earth...I think in #Russiayet we all claim that we know how the earth is composed....weird right.
So in the end all we can say is do your #best and forget the rest! We put on our shoe's and clothes every moring to be better so let's continue on this path - listen as if we were all #children seeking #knowledge to be our best self for those aroud us!
We talk longevity through a healthy lifestyle ~ a mix of mental physical and spiritual knowledge ~ The mind Body soul trifecta ~ Negative To Positive ~ Better Everyday

Episode 97- Ignite Your Purpose
The #art of #listening
Boom, easier said than done...#realtalk
John Barrett and myself try to keep it as legit as possible when it comes to art of #conversation. Do we really (#honestly) listen when someone else is speaking...or are we just waiting to reply with our point of view? #Ego verses ego or #belief verses belief or #ideaverses idea?
All to often we just want to #regurgitate the knowledge we have #learned or whatever belief or system we operate under to basically prove we are either better, more correct or right and which means someone else is either wrong, or less correct....hummm interesting
Yet in old ways of #philosophy, #ancient ways of humans the ways to gain a clearer perspective or maybe even further your #knowledgewas to #debate... and to debate is to listen take in the info and then #rebuttal
I feel for myself personally this is something I have been working on for a while (with some success), trying at times to not #interject at all with my #perspective on a conversation and just take in the moment and interaction with the other #human/ #soul speaking to me... a true learning curve for John and myself and an actual art form!

Episode 96 - Ignite Your Purpose
HOOOOT DAMN....it is #smokey #hot #heatwave and I am #feeling#extremely #irritable
Now with all John Barrett and I have spoken about with the 'on goings' of #planet #alignment #newmoon, #eclipse there is just a ton of next level things happening around us that we may be un aware of...
With this I have really noticed an unsettled feeling-a pissyness -of sorts but not really with certain situations ( such as being in a long line and being in a rush) or even certain individuals.... just a felt feeling.
If you can vibe with me on this one then you know what I am talking about, I usually do not feel like this and certainly not for this amount of time...days now.
We talk what could be causing it, and also ways to get around it. Could that be #detaching from Tech, needing to be out in #Nature, or instead of looking at it like I need a band aid or a #quickfix - I think its in my best interest and for my #higherself to peel the onion back and get to the route of the cause so I can overcome it, learn from it and expand myself....and take the short term #pain and #uncomfortableness

Episode 95 - Fears Born or Learnt Behaviour
We discuss the fact that we are only #born with a few natural fears as well as some #instinctual tendencies.
So where does all this fear and #anxiety in our #society come from in our current world? Why are we based in such a fear or #scarcitysystem.
What does it take for each of us to understand this bias we have, how do we start, what do we look for and how do we address it?
Most of these system's we run are learnt, meaning we were taught it on purpose (look both ways before you cross the street) or we learned it through listening or watching others close to us as we grew up (family, friends, school, society) or even read it somewhere- and in the end we took it on as a fact and a belief!
Take a listen and let us know what you thinK!

Episode 94-Ignite Your Purpose Daily Show
We talk or ask or wonder why... why it is we put thing's off. I personally feel that for myself it has something to do with #expectations and #fear. Fear of some type of #rejection or maybe even some type of unexpected #success
There is only so much time, so many #heart #beats left in our body, so many more #sunrises and #sunsets... Only so many more opportunities to say I #love you, I #forgive you or spend time with people that we #respect, love and #honourYet we (or myself anyway) think its endless that I can put this off until such and such a time.
We are not promised tomorrow...it is that simple

Episode 93 Talking Perspective -
Think about it truly if you visit someone one to two times a year and the average life span is 78 years old and they are in their 70 currently you really only have a few more times to see them! This is a very #sobering fact, the type of fact that should #wake us up out of a stone cold #sleep. We for some reason as being human do not really place a lot of weight on the present moment-instead we tend to think like we have #infinityto live. So we dont really live it like it is our last moment. John and myself are in the middle of #practicing what we #preach. The #universe is definetly testing us on the daily currently and we are doing our best to test the waters of #balance between the #ying and #yang. Yet there are things we are both #waitingon for maybe the perfect moment or the perfect logo or perfect #SEO hacks...like John said let's just get on with it #STOP the #worry or the care's and just get on with it!!!

Episode 92 - Ignite Your Purpose
Patients You Must Have......
John Barrett has been itching to release all of our shows...we have been working endlessly to re bot formats, make sure all the tags are in to the proper areas, meta data, the proper write up's and so on. Currently we are waiting on our new logo design to be done so we can upload that across all platforms... then we will start the release.
Having said all of that we both just want to get it out...we both feel we have- #lost- time to make up for. Meaning we are very #young in the game compared to the #veterans out there. Some doing it 8 plus years.
We see them just starting to #implement things we are already doing so we know we are on the correct path...the eagerness, the piss and vinegar is just oozing out of us. "Slow down young grasshopper"
Yet we are trying to control ourselves we are trying (and doing pretty well I might add) #patience....
We all need the #ying and the #yang so we need to be driven by our #passion #dreams #goals and #excitement and as well we have to implore the slow down times or the patience when #implementing your vision!!
Have you been able to use paitence in your goals???

Episode 90 The #Outsource #Economy - The #Bailout #Lifestyle
I can't do it...I don't know how to... Mum/ Dad/ someone else will do it for me...
John Barrett and myself talk about an event I went through as a #waited for 2 families who took up all the tellers time at a #bank for the better part of 30 minutes as the parents asked the tellers to do all the work for their kids (early 20's) ya kid's... because the kid's just did not have the time to do it themselves and as well the kids found it to difficult which lead them to #stress and possible #anxiety.
I had to admit to John that even though I am 10 year's deep into the #sotozen ways and lifestyle this brought me close to the edge!
As I sat there in #amazement at what was going on in front of me... I thought about all that goes on in this world; from 3rd world countries, all the tragedies, all the heart break -then- to how it once was when #immigrants came here with $10 dollars and somehow made it on their own
I was like who can you really be #upset with????? Honestly? Not the Kids..better yet young adults - not their fault because it's all they know, The parents well they learned it from somewhere as well, or maybe they are trying to make up for not being there for their kids back in the day because they had to work?
We do some what live in a #handout world these days.... so we #ranted about the ways this has developed and what might be to come! Take a listen and let us know your thoughts!

Episode 89 - Ignite Your Purpose
What You Do - Or What You Want To BeWe chat about speaking our truth...and the mental blocks of becoming what it is you want to become and not what you are currently doing.
Example if you are currently "Not working" or #unemployed does that mean that is what you do? Or could it be that you are taking time off to #train #heal #study #empoweryourself in a new endeavour, starting a new business....And so on.
John Barrett and myself go into the world of words and how we describe ourselves...These title DO NOT #DEFINE US!
As well as how we tend to use #titles as a way of describing ourselves to others that maybe in the form of #mother #actress #mechanic or whatever....yet we tend not to talk about what we are trying to become or accomplishMoss Massimo speaks about this coming from a fear of being #judged or being worried about what other may think or say about where we want to take our life!
Hence speaking our truth...we are here for such a short time and the last thing any of us want is to be 98 years old and full of regret about wishing we did or tried but instead placed to much value on what others thought...so in fear we did nothing!
