Welcome to Chats with Susan Burrell,

And that's me.

I help strong,

Capable women who have pockets of self-doubt access their inner wisdom and clarify their own truth.

Chats with Susan Burrell is where we have rich conversations about empowerment,

Radiating your brilliance out into the world,

And loving yourself more than you ever have before.

And who doesn't want that?

So let's get started.

So today I came across something.

I'm reading a book by a guy named Paul Selig.

It's called The Book of Knowing and Worth.

And in it,

He talks about that we're all on this journey to our soul's worth.

And that just caught my attention,

Because I'm all about living an inspired and an empowered life.

And part of what it is I do personally is really continue to grow myself from the inside out.

And that means researching and reading and then meditating and seeing what feels right for me.

What is mine to do?

What is mine to let go of?

Things like that.

This idea of being on a journey to your soul's worth says to me that it's about recognizing that,

A,

We are already valuable.

We are already worthy.

And that we forget that.

In the course of our journey on this planet,

Part of it is bumping up against stuff,

People,

Things,

Inner belief systems that are unhealthy or limiting.

And then we have the opportunity to reassess,

Redefine,

And then get rid of the stuff that doesn't work,

The junk that's in our head,

The stuff that keeps us stuck.

And this idea of,

At least for me,

That my life is a journey to find my inner value,

To find my worth is huge.

It's actually really the cornerstone of my life.

When things get daunting or it feels like there's maybe a mild depression setting in,

And I'm sure many people have had these feelings,

The idea that those things are because I don't trust and value myself is huge.

And I think that's true for many people.

We come into these moments where we are confident,

Where we are going to be able to conquer everything.

And then there's other moments where we don't necessarily trust ourselves.

We don't necessarily believe in ourselves.

We don't necessarily feel that we're valuable.

Who am I to be that good at that?

Or who am I that people want to work with me?

Or whatever the idea is.

And so this journey thing,

Which is really what life is all about anyway,

Right?

Walking a journey,

Being on a journey,

Surviving a journey,

And getting to the end game of life,

I found for me that as much as humanly possible,

I want my life to be vital.

I want my life to feel free,

Where I can make choices that enliven me,

That excite me,

That make my life fun.

And I can make choices where I'm going to shine brightly.

I'm going to be that brilliant light and being out in the world.

And I can make choices to really indulge in the richness of my life,

Which is spending time with friends and family and my new puppy and enjoying the life that I've created,

Because really we are all about creating our lives.

So I want to speak to that for a second.

Every single thing in our lives,

You don't have to believe this,

But in my experience,

I know this to be true.

I have practiced it.

I have challenged it.

I have witnessed it.

Our thoughts plus our emotions create our reality.

And if we're not aware of what our thinking is or what our feelings are,

Then our life seems kind of random and circumstances happen and stuff just is.

And the truth is really when we become aware of how we're feeling in any moment or what we're thinking in any moment,

We then become at choice.

We then are able to take self-responsibility and say,

Wow,

Okay,

I don't want that that just happened to happen ever again.

What is it that I need to change within myself so I don't continue this repetitive loop of that external circumstance that doesn't make me happy?

And that may mean making health choices in terms of what you put in your mouth,

What you eat,

What you drink.

It may mean that you need to make choices to take time for self-care like taking a nap or seeing your doctor or meditating.

And once we become aware of what our thinking and what the emotions that tie to it create,

We can change that.

So I have a quote from my mentor,

Ernest Holmes.

I'm just going to read this again.

And I think it is part of what the journey to your soul's worth is all about.

He says,

You exist that divine feeling,

Fire,

Imagination,

And creativity may be expressed through you.

The spirit comes to you with a new and fresh creativity.

You need not ask what others have done or how they have done it.

Be yourself and express life as you find it.

Never imitate.

Trust yourself.

Now that's so important to me because at least in our culture,

We are always about comparison.

We are always about finding the program,

The book,

The guru,

The teacher who can give us the answers,

Can tell us how to do life.

And again,

Journeying to your soul's worth means that you need to start trusting yourself and not trying to be somebody you're not.

Not trying to be somebody else,

But allowing like what Ernest Holmes talks about in this quote that infinite wisdom,

That divine spark that is always creating by means of us,

Allowing that to move through us,

Allowing that to express by means of us.

And when we do that,

Life gets exciting.

And it feels like our imagination is just firing with all these different ideas and possibilities and connections to people and places.

And at least I feel very fulfilled and empowered when I am attuned to that inner listening,

That divine spark,

That wisdom that has all the answers to all my questions and challenges when I take time to listen,

When I become aware that my linear thinking is covering up the information that I already have in my soul's DNA,

My divine information.

And when I get out of my head,

Get out of my way,

I can hear the truth of my life,

The truth of the choices that are up for me to make.

So he goes on to say that there is a pattern of perfection at the center of your being which has never been touched by disease or misfortune.

Your intellect senses this through intuition.

Your imagination feels it by divine right.

Your inward consciousness knows it through faith.

What you are trying to do is to awaken your whole being to spiritual awareness.

The vision you must catch and hold is the consciousness of a union so complete and perfect that you find no difference between your own being and the universal source energy.

So again,

What that means to me now is the soul's journey that we're on to our worth,

Our value,

Our self-expression,

Our self-responsibility is the thing that we are awakening to.

So in my experience,

The more I become consciously aware,

Not only of where I am like in a room with people and stuff like that,

But consciously aware of the thoughts,

The positive loving kind thoughts I think,

And the negative judgmental meaner,

Meaner,

Meaner thoughts I think,

The more I can discern those and separate them out and focus on the loving,

The fun,

The humor,

The kindness,

The compassion,

My life just gets better exponentially.

And consequently,

What I am experiencing,

I just had this great networking meeting this weekend and because I've been doing my inner work,

Because I have been moving to the new level within myself of my personal conscious vibration,

If you will,

I went to this networking meeting and people recognized me,

People I've never met before,

Recognized me because my inner soul was filled with love and filled with light.

And so that's how you become attractive.

The idea of the secret that was out,

It's not a secret,

But anyway,

The secret that was out many years ago and people were all on board.

Did you read it?

Did you see it?

Well,

Lots of people fell off that wagon because they started by wanting to grab something.

They wanted to bring something in.

And the real truth is spiritual principle,

The law of circulation works from the inside out.

And when you sit and become clear within yourself,

Your inner confidence,

Your inner vision of a conscious union with the divine,

When you clarify that within yourself from your inside,

Not the outside trying to put something on you,

When that happens,

You become your heart space opens,

Your light shines brighter,

And you become attractive.

And therefore the things that you want,

It's not about going out and getting them.

It's about inviting them in.

It's about being on a journey of receptivity,

Am I receptive to this good that's happening?

A lot of times when something good happens to us,

We think,

Oh,

Well,

That was luck.

Or we think,

Oh,

That's too good to be true.

Here's the truth about this,

Everybody.

It is good and it is true.

And when we are on a journey to our soul's worth,

Part of that journey,

Part of that extension of that journey is a journey of inner receptivity,

Meaning inner receptivity of the wisdom that already resides within you,

Of the love that pours into you when you get out of your way and therefore can pour out of you and attract more like-minded business people or open up doors in your current business with colleagues,

Can open up relationships so that you have a healthier,

More loving,

More compassionate,

More fun and kind relationship,

Starting from the inside out and opening your heart to be receptive to receive the good that is yours because it's all like waiting out there.

I see like bushel baskets of good things wanting to flow into people's lives.

And then a lot of people go,

Oh,

Not me.

Oh,

I can't handle that.

Oh,

That would be too much for me or,

You know,

Those things don't happen to me.

They happen to other people.

But that's not true.

What's true is your thoughts,

Your beliefs anchored to any kind of low resonating emotion is what's keeping you from receiving all the business you need or all the money you need or all the health or love or whatever.

And again,

When we can move into that fire of imagination,

That divine spark that ignites all of it and that divine urge that impels us to co-create with source,

Then our journey becomes easier and more expansive,

More opulent,

If you will,

Rich,

Just juicy rich,

Rich,

Rich,

Rich,

Rich.

So this idea of journey to your soul's worth,

I'm just going to throw it out there,

Everybody.

Think about it.

In fact,

I invite you to take five minutes to sit quietly and just think about it.

What is my journey to my soul's worth?

And do I feel worthy?

Do I feel valuable?

Do I feel vital?

Do I feel empowered?

Hello.

Do I feel empowered on this journey to my soul's worth?

Just invite you to think about it for like five minutes.

Won't hurt you.

And then you might want to do it again tomorrow for five minutes and the next day.

And pretty soon you might even find that you actually are developing a spiritual practice,

Which would make me oh so happy because I got to tell you the spiritual practice and it doesn't mean owning your belly button up to a higher vibration on a mountain top or any of that,

But taking time for yourself to sit and listen to all of the amazing information that you already have within your soul,

Within your heart,

Within your DNA.

If you sit just five minutes a day and listen to that,

You may be surprised how your life will open up and unfold.

That could be a really good thing.

So the journey to your soul's worth and part of it is a journey to receptivity,

Allowing yourself to receive all the good that is yours.

And when we receive that good,

It begins to multiply because the more receptive,

It's not like you get a one-off,

Right?

You know,

Oh well,

That was really great.

I got a buy one,

Get one free and so I guess the free thing is all my good.

That's not what's so.

The more you open up to the flow of life and allow it to work through you and the more you clarify your thinking and your emotions,

Releasing anything that does not serve you mentally and emotionally and that can include people too that surround you,

The naysayers,

The oh that'll never happen.

Don't listen to them.

You know,

You're just not good enough.

Those people get rid of them.

I'm just saying get rid of them.

Oh yeah,

Just get rid of them because the more you listen to your inner self and the more you receive,

The more you open your heart to receive,

The better life gets and more multiplies and then you are abundant and then life is opulent and then you can shine your brilliance and be free to live an empowered life,

To live the life you've always wanted but maybe you were waiting for retirement or waiting for a chunk of change or something like that.

Just do five minutes a day of breathing into your heart and opening it with love and then sending love out into your day,

Into your world.

See what happens.

A journey to your soul's worth.

Hey,

I love it.

And so it is.

Namaste.

Reviews

Lovely talk.Blessing Namaste

A really lovely reminder of how important it is to discover or re-discover our souls purpose... and once found - connect to our purpose daily. It is sad how one can get swept away with ideas and values of others, forgetting ones personal worth and purpose. Thank you Susan ☺️

Thank you for this as I journey through.. yet another dark night of the soul ..Calling this the last of such painful deep dives .. through all lifetimes, loss and attachments in this one, co-dependencies, self-loathing, traumas of me and Mama Gaia. Extreme self care as my cells recalibrate to the new earth and LOVE that is open, loving and undeniably juicy and receptive.
That’s my reBirthday wish .. blessings for your support on this journey to the soul.
