EP28: Live Your Passion (Personal Growth Strategies) Everybody has their growth strategies, but in case you feel a little lost, here's the perfect guideline that you need so you can live your life to the fullest. In this week's episode, Rae Irelan highlights the nine strategies that helped her succeed in life. The purpose of these nine strategies is to allow yourself to emerge and connect with your passions on a deeper level so that you can go out there and be that light you were born to be. Share your message, share your passion with the world, and witness things shift into something more significant. Part One of ‘Live Your Passion (Personal Growth Strategies)’ Never stop learning. If you think you don't need to keep learning, that's your ego stopping you from exploring new things and possibly hinder you from reaching your highest potential. It is so important to always have a learner mindset so you can continually grow and evolve. Find out what you're passionate about. If you're determined to turn your vision into a reality and you're serious about having a kick-ass, fun, extraordinary life, you must find ways to learn and grow. It could be figuring out how you can improve your gifts or acquiring more skills. “Commit to living an extraordinary life.” - Rae Irelan (04:02-04:04) Be open to what the universe is showing you. Take note of the possibilities and the opportunities that are coming your way. If you don't feel like you have many opportunities, start counting your blessings may be a good starting point. Step into that gratitude mindset because this is how the universe will respond to you if you begin to be grateful for all that you have. When you step into living your passions and creating change from those passions, bringing that into service in the world, then the world gets to shift with you. Commit to living an extraordinary life. Do things that most others won't. Take that risk. Be the leader. Take that courageous, inspired action. If you want to write a book if you want to travel around the world if you want to start your own business, whatever that is. Just go for it. Commit to being extraordinary and know that you will have to make some different decisions than probably other people in your life have made or are making. Do things differently and think differently. Be open to what that looks like and be open to the inspiration coming into your life from your passions, from the people, the environments that you're in, and allow that inspired essence to fuel you. Part Two of ‘Live Your Passion (Personal Growth Strategies)’ Take responsibility for yourself. If you want to be the creator of your life, you have to take responsibility for always being the creator of your life and that you created everything that came before this point. This can be hard. Many people are skipping this step and wanting to create from where they're at without taking responsibility for what they have already established in their life up to this point. Some call it spiritual bypassing. We want to make sure that every single thing that you're doing, thinking, being, experiencing, you're taking responsibility for it and owning it. It's such a powerful tool, and it will fuel you into being that creator of your reality. Nurture your passions. Once you found them, nurture them because practice makes perfect and leads to being an expert of whatever you're passionate about. Believe in your passions on a deeper level, understand them, the ins and outs, and how beautiful they are. And then, you can start sharing them with the world. Fuel yourself up with this inspiration by listening to podcasts like this, by reading books, by going out in the world, and seeing what people are up to. And you will be inspired because some incredible people are doing incredible things out there. No doubt, you're one of those incredible people that's why you're reading this! “Take the time to love yourself in every single way.” - Rae Irelan (10:04-10:07) Create a support team. Create the relationships in your life that help supports you on this mission, on this journey of living your passions more fully and being on that journey of personal growth and self-discovery. You want to set yourself up for success. No one is going to be able to fully live out their passions by themselves because the world is revolving around relationships. Watch your life come to life. Celebrate your journey. Celebrate every single step along the way. Acknowledge all of your accomplishments. Often, we have grown up in this space where we're not supposed to brag. We're not supposed to be overconfident. We're not supposed to love ourselves. When you do that, you can feel this dissonance from the rest of society. And you can feel like an outcast. You can feel like you're going to be torn away from maybe people that you love, environments that you love, and yet know that this is all part of your process of being the best version of you. You want to make sure those on your team, especially those closest to you, are supporting you in your greatness. Sometimes, we have extra people that aren't supporting that. And that's fine. They're on their path. But make sure not to get too caught up into what they're believing. Take the time to love yourself in every single way. Take the time to love every single freckle, every single lump that feels like it's out of place. Just love it for what it is while being on a personal development journey. Personal development can feel like you're being thrown off of a building, can feel crazy and terrifying, and all of your fears come up. And yet, it doesn't have to.
