The Wisdom Podcast is birthed out of the Wisdom Blog,

A digital healing hub of inspired consciousness,

Sacred wisdom,

And the divine teachings of authentic power,

Living one's truth,

And spiritual,

Or as we call it,

Unconditional love.

Many of the topics that we cover arise out of my work with clients who have chosen to live their life from a place of self-honesty and truth,

And in doing so,

They quite naturally began the journey inward,

Recognizing their authentic self and their capacity for being love and choosing to live as this in all moments.

This is what makes it possible to experience authentic happiness easily.

Each episode offers divinely inspired teachings and insight that will show you how to live consciously aware,

To access your inner wisdom,

And to help you make the best choices towards living a limitless potential.

Join me for consciously inspired truth,

Divine wisdom,

And new thought paradigms for living an infinitely abundant and love-filled life,

Here and now.

When you hear the words,

Becoming more,

What thoughts enter your mind?

Becoming more is the expansion of your consciousness.

It is meant to be exciting as when you are having a new experience that you have sought out.

It is the path of freedom,

Life fulfillment,

And perpetual happiness.

It is your ever-present gift and eternal choice to always seek and become more.

How do you become more?

And what does this mean in a tangible way?

Do you think about being more as applicable to your life and to how you live?

Is there a more that you currently wish to be?

I believe we've all had this experience of seeking to become better in some aspect of our life or as who we are.

What guides this desire and what perpetuates the motivation and discipline to see yourself through?

And of course,

What drives your need to be more?

In more,

I don't mean more as being in competition with or in outdoing another,

But more as the conscious desire of your heart to be and live as the very best version of yourself and in every moment.

In my work with clients,

It is always a joy to take them beyond what they initially sought my help with.

This is,

Of course,

Completely their choice.

But what typically happens after we resolve and complete what initial issue or problem that they sought help for is the fun of self-empowerment,

Liberation from what thoughts and beliefs have held one back,

And of course,

The experience of attaining what is truly important.

More is about not accepting mediocrity.

It's not about comparing yourself to others,

But rather being inspired by others so that you can set out to be more for yourself.

It's about challenging yourself to be all that you really want and to no longer make excuses that you can't,

That it's too difficult and that how you are is good enough.

I am not talking about pushing yourself towards an unhealthy or impractical ideal or to strive towards what you think you need to have because others have this.

More is anything that you define to be important enough for you and for your greater happiness and that you are willing to go after.

I distinguish more from having more in terms of material possessions or money.

Yes,

You can always seek to have more wealth,

But becoming more in the way that I'm truly speaking of it here begins as an internal objective based on the person you are and that you are choosing to become,

What you stand for and how much you like and love who you are because you live authentic and of your truth.

It's about being more as a reflection of yourself so that you will benefit from this in the life that you live.

When you make positive changes in yourself,

Your external world led by your thoughts,

Beliefs,

And attitude changes for the better.

You begin this positive transformation with an internal examination of how can I be more and in ways that will improve my life and that will allow me to feel and be even happier.

Let me give you some examples of this.

More could be the evolution and personal transformation to like and love all of you to improve what aspects will allow you to be this beautiful,

Remarkable being that you already have the ability to be.

You actually don't need to be in therapy or to work with a life coach to seek more.

Although you may find that having this guidance and the precise tools,

Strategies,

And best practices that I can offer will catapult your results tenfold.

I do think that it's good to begin with these honest questions to ask of yourself.

How may I seek to become more?

And what does more look like in terms of my personal self-improvement and growth?

Let your heart wisdom answer and see what rises up as your truth.

We are all hardwired for evolution.

Becoming more as explained by evolutionary psychology is our innate potential.

Human beings today inhabit a modern world of space exploration and virtual realities.

People continue to seek traits,

Habits,

And skills to perform optimally to surpass what has previously been done.

We see this in every aspect of life,

Sport,

Music,

Computer science,

And quantum physics.

While there are some aspects of your life that you are completely happy with,

Other aspects may need a reboot,

A restart,

A redefinition so that you can feel authentic happiness far more of the time.

To have more pride,

More inner peace,

More confidence in yourself.

More is the difference between doing what you have always done and doing something better.

Being willing to continue to improve,

To learn something new,

To hone different skills,

To lead with your heart more of the time,

To love yourself or to love yourself even more and to challenge and push yourself to complete what goals you have been sitting on for a time.

Let me give you one more example to have greater patience with yourself as an example of becoming more also translates into the patience and kindness you give to others and to remember that anything that is most desired by you that is most important is worth seeking out and living.

If there is an aspect of your life that is not working,

That could be better,

That you want more from,

Be willing to embody this with your commitment and effort,

To take the steps towards this,

To believe in your deserving of it,

Coupled with the action you take to see this through,

To materialize and manifest what you are no longer willing to hold back and deny.

Becoming more is an approach to living your life that keeps you hungry for growth,

For challenging yourself to attain the goals that you have always wanted,

For continuing to learn to shape,

To redefine what you currently do because you know that this will ultimately make you better and that you will be far happier for it.

Sometimes I see that clients are unhappy with an aspect of their life and I know from what they tell me that they are also living this particular aspect in an unhealthy way,

Causing themselves to suffer.

Yet they are also not fully committed to making the change that is needed to relieve themselves from suffering,

To actualize what they truly want.

This is often the work that we do together.

I help you reach your full commitment to change so that you can carry out the action steps that are needed to see your goals fully realized.

More does not imply that you are not good enough or that something is missing from your life.

Having a new car or anything material that you might think will give you happiness is not what this is about.

Rather more is about a conscious,

Free will choice of expression that supports your ongoing expansion.

You can certainly manifest a new car and any other material object that is wanted,

Yet more is never to imply that you are not enough as you are right now and in this moment.

More is a deliberate path of self evolution that we are all encouraged to live by nature that allows us to thrive in the world,

To seek new experiences,

Opportunities,

And yes,

Also material things.

Yet the primary reason to pursue more is to like and love yourself first.

Becoming more is a facet of personal growth and an everlasting journey throughout life.

It's when you cease to seek change and self-improvement that you become stagnant.

You feel restless and bored.

You may look to other vices as distractions from continuing along a path that can fulfill your true potential.

And sometimes it is not having the belief in your abilities that keep you back.

This is also a huge focus of my work because so many of us have heard the untrue messages that we are not good enough in some way.

Remember you can learn anything that you desire.

It doesn't matter how old you are or where you are along your life path.

In fact,

Learning is what causes the impetus for discovery,

Positive new experiences,

Satisfaction,

And your world opening to more.

Your nature is to expand,

To seek more,

To seek the right kind of change and evolution that is driven by our incessant need to understand ourself better,

To be self-aware and reflective,

To shed the beliefs that we have been taught and of which have never served us,

And to instead rely on what our senses and inner wisdom guide us towards.

Becoming more is the ethereal expansion of consciousness and of living awake and self-aware that encourages and supports what is most wanted.

It is how you live as loving kindness and in peace and in self-evolution,

Guided by the understanding that much of your life journey is actually about returning to wholeness,

For living as source consciousness,

That is having the keen awareness that your non-physical self is experiencing through your physical body and mind all that is possible,

Desired,

And wanted.

Think of more as natural expansion and growth,

An ever evolving version of yourself that mirrors the ever expanding state of the universe.

The more you expand in life as you seek to improve yourself,

To continue to become more,

More in what you learn,

Experience,

And understand.

Consider how this enhances the quality of your life and your state of mind,

Your confidence,

And the sense of satisfaction that you feel.

So becoming more is what I would encourage as a natural and necessary way to live life,

To witness yourself as an independent thinker,

To question what beliefs and values are not serving you,

And to seek more through the change that aligns you with your most authentic and highest level beliefs for what you want and wish for,

And for who you currently are,

And who you are already becoming.

I'm going to suggest that you are already and always on a path of being more.

Sometimes you just need to look back in time to witness this.

What I'm suggesting is to transform,

To be and become more most deliberately.

There is no greater expression of your life than to seek more,

To be the ultimate version of yourself,

The most loving,

Kind,

Generous,

Honest,

Whatever your more is,

And to first describe this to yourself,

To seek creative expansion,

To heal all of what has hurt you,

To live from your heart with ease,

To attain what goals and ideals represent what is most important to you now and for the rest of your life.

More is how you live more from your heart.

How you express yourself in the true liberation of what you are.

This being of energy in physical form,

Having the most incredible experiences,

And for as long as you can.

This can only happen as you first contemplate what could be better.

Where could your life thrive that it is not right now?

And how could you be happier through your consciously driven actions?

You may also want to be clear about why these goals and ideals are important to you,

How they are meaningful to you because more needs to be the result of your heartfelt desire.

I'd also like to leave here for you some practical wisdom and tips.

You can begin by living each day in the constant and ongoing self-dialogue of,

I can do this.

I can challenge myself to be more through my positive actions,

Through conscious awareness of myself in being more honest,

More open,

More loving,

More spontaneous,

More peaceful,

More patient,

More kind,

More respectful,

More present,

More happy,

And any and all of what you may seek to be the new reality of your life.

And one simple action to get you started is the gentle and reoccurring reminder through your spoken word.

For however you seek to become more,

Say this to yourself using the words,

I am,

I am more patient,

I am patient now.

I am more kind,

I am more kind now.

Say these words and especially in the moments when you are challenged to be this.

Try this for yourself and notice how you feel each time you hold the words of something that is so important using the sentence stem,

I am more.

I am then to say,

I am this now.

You begin to be more by bringing mindful awareness to yourself,

To how you seek to be more and to live this.

It's so simple and yet it is how you remind yourself of what is yet to come,

Of what you yourself hold responsibility for and for what you are becoming in this moment and the next.

Begin this now.

Choose to be more because this is your inherent nature.

It is what gives you thrill.

It is what challenges you.

It is what evokes greater presence in your life and in what you have the ability to witness in each moment and in your knowledge and belief that more is indeed possible.

This is the path that opens you to so much more of life and it reveals just how much more you are capable of.

So your homework practice is this.

Think of one area of your life that you know could be better.

Ask yourself,

What more can I bring into this area of my life?

What actions,

Words,

Thoughts,

How can I do this now?

And how can I also enjoy the process of becoming more?

More doesn't mean that you have to be an Olympian or a rock star,

But you could if this was in your plan for what you most wanted.

I see the action of being and becoming as a natural and evolutionary facet of human life,

Of evolution of all species,

As how we enter into this brave new world that we are already living.
