How to Live Your Greatness | The Wisdom Podcast | Season 1 Episode 1

In this first episode of the Wisdom Podcast, I define what spiritual greatness is; how it has nothing to do with ego, but instead it is the conscious and deliberate way that you live your life, that aligns you with your infinite potential. In this episode we dive into how you may live your greatness each day; and how doing so actually helps you to feel far better about yourself and to own your worth. You live your greatness by choosing a life that is authentic, based on knowing yourself best.

Transcript

The experience of Divine Wisdom is your sacred right.

It is what awakens you to a spiritual path,

And it is this inner knowing that helps you to make everyday decisions that are best and right for who you are as you discover and live a deliberate journey.

In each episode of the Wisdom Podcast,

You will hear what insight,

Offerings,

And truth have helped others.

You may hear your own story in some of the stories of my clients as they have sought to heal themselves,

To be in control of their life,

To reclaim their authentic power,

And to be happy.

All of us are on a sacred path.

When we live awake and present to this,

We easily access the guidance of our inner wisdom and the beauty of life that unfolds in perfect ways to help us manifest all of what we want.

Our desire for greater understanding and a meaningful life is what inspires us to discover our greater purpose and to witness the infinite beauty and joy that is so abundant.

I hope that each episode can offer something relevant and timely for you,

And that the sacred path that you are on is one that you choose deliberately,

Based on the inspired wisdom of your inner truth as you live a beautiful and love-filled life.

What is greatness?

How do you live your greatness?

Greatness is both your incredible potential for what you are becoming and what you already are.

You live your greatness most readily by being your authentic self.

Your authentic or genuine self is another way of describing your truth,

Your true nature.

You live your greatness when you are living as your ideal or highest self,

The purest aspect of what you are,

And often referred to as your soul,

The God or goddess within you or consciousness.

You live your greatness through deliberate acts of service,

Genuine kindness,

Compassion,

And being loving without boundaries or expectation.

You live your greatness through acts of love.

You live your greatness by following a path that is authentic and right for you,

And to follow this with your heart and mind open to the experiences of life with loving kindness,

Forgiveness,

And compassion.

Then you must pursue your path to the nth degree as much as possible,

Immersed in it fully and enjoying its beauty and perfection as it continues to unfold before you,

Savoring its welcome pleasures and what bliss it holds.

There are also many ways that we hold ourselves back from our greatness.

Greatness collapses with a lack of self-honesty.

When or if we make excuses for our choices,

For pretending to be something that we are not,

For trying to be like someone else when we can only ever be great in who we are,

When we tell untruths in hopes that conveying a different version of the story about ourself will make us seem better,

More lovable,

Wealthier,

Happier than what is actually true.

If we blame others for what has happened to us,

Our life circumstances and events,

If we find excuses,

No matter how reasonable we decide they are,

Rather than take responsibility for our choices,

We diminish and erode our happiness and we feel powerless and victimized.

If we continue to live in a way that causes self-harm and self-sabotage,

Regardless of the many reasons for what brings us to this point,

We limit our greatness.

These are only some of the ways in which we hold ourself back from our true potential.

Your true potential is your limitless capacity for greatness.

When you allow yourself to expressively be what feels authentic,

When you follow a path of what you enjoy most,

What you love,

And when you allow yourself the ability to follow your inner guidance or knowing,

Sometimes this is referred to as your heart-driven response or intuition,

What guides you to what is right and best in this or any moment.

All of these are examples of living as your greatness,

Your truth.

Living your greatness means that you are able to experience freedom,

The ability to use your free will for deliberately choosing based on what allows you to feel the greatest source of inner joy,

Peace,

And a state of happiness that comes from being your authentic self.

Living your greatness is not a fickle nor irresponsible way of living life,

But rather an ideal,

Being wholly honest with yourself about what you enjoy and desire most,

Being appreciative of what gifts and abilities you innately possess,

And in following a path that is of your choosing is actually a highly enlightened way of living life.

When you are willing to be completely honest with yourself,

It frees you to choose what you need most in order to be happy and to follow and live that path,

Immersing yourself in what fulfills you.

This is also how we experience our chosen destiny.

We first become deeply engrossed in knowing our self intimately so that we can choose a life that allows us to share our innate abilities and talents with others and to experience the truth of what we are as our inner self confidence,

Courageously great.

This is how you live your greatness.

As I describe it,

Greatness sounds a lot like having a life purpose,

And this is exactly the case.

Figuring out what is most important and meaningful for you will be much like living a dream life because every morning you will look forward to being able to do all of what you enjoy most,

And this is also what allows you to feel happiness.

You live your greatness not because you are rich or famous,

Although that can easily be a part of your life.

You experience your greatness when you live a life that is honest and authentic to who you are,

To what you enjoy,

And what is most fulfilling and meaningful to you.

And if your nine to five job is not your passion,

Then it is up to you to live your purpose as best as possible while doing your job or in other ways aside from your job.

If you desire it,

There is always a way,

And I can certainly help you with this,

To create a job,

A vocation,

So that you can fulfill your purpose each day whilst still earning a living to support your every will,

Your every means,

Your every desire.

Your greatness is what you are when you are choosing a life that you can live authentic to knowing yourself best.

Know who you are.

Live your greatness.

Your greatness is not formed out of ego,

With power and privilege over others.

Your greatness is what you are when you live as a being of love.

When you reveal loving kindness to the world,

Then you are living your greatness.

If you are feeling doubtful or stuck about how to begin or restart your journey of greatness,

Let me help.

Please know that if you live your life telling yourself why you couldn't do something or why you can't do something,

Just know that whatever you tell yourself,

You begin to believe,

And it becomes your reality.

It matters much less what is true but what you convince yourself is true.

Believe what limits you place on yourself and you begin to live within the constraints of your self-limiting beliefs.

This is how your world begins to close in,

Causing you to feel less capable and unworthy of happiness.

Ultimately,

Here is where I help.

Knowing how to challenge your automatic thoughts and the habits that you have in place that limit you allows you to begin living your life in a way that is truthful to who you are.

I help you rewrite what stories you have told yourself into what is true,

Accurate,

And authentic.

One of the most powerful ways to connect with your true potential,

Your greatness,

Is through meditation.

When you become quiet and attentive within,

It is much easier to hear the voice of your inner knowing,

Your truth,

Which will always guide you to knowing what is best and right for you at any given moment.

Included in the description here,

I am sharing a beautiful guided meditation called Your Ideal Self.

I hope that you will listen to it,

Use it,

Allow yourself to be helped as you imagine and visualize so much more of what you are capable of and to help you see all that you already are.

You can experience this even if you are new to the practice of meditation.

All that you need to do is clear some space and time to be quiet and still,

To remain open,

Without expectations and allow your imagination to reveal to you the sacred imagery that will help you experience yourself as so much more.

You may use this meditation as often as you like as a means of experiencing the powerful feelings that come from visualizing your ideal self and reminding you of your greatness.

I hope that you will be encouraged to live your greatness,

To appreciate every moment of your life,

To find your life's path and purpose.
