Unknown: 00:00:39

Unknown: 00:01:01

any question that you want to ask. Today I want to talk about

Unknown: 00:01:06

your passion. What are you passionate about? I see a lot of

Unknown: 00:01:15

times we mistaken passion for our sexual drive. But passion is

Unknown: 00:01:24

like so diverse and can come out in so many different ways. I

Unknown: 00:01:33

know we talked about sexual energy a couple weeks ago. And

Unknown: 00:01:39

there I explained that you can use your sexual energy and

Unknown: 00:01:47

transform it into creative energy and make music, create

Unknown: 00:01:52

art. build something become someone someone like outside of

Unknown: 00:02:00

yourself right now. If you look at Mick Jagger, if you look at

Unknown: 00:02:04

the Rolling Stones, and they're my favorite, like example here,

Unknown: 00:02:09

if you look at them on stage, how they just express themselves

Unknown: 00:02:16

and dance and you can really see that something is going on

Unknown: 00:02:22

inside of them. And they just let it all out in there have no

Unknown: 00:02:26

fear of judgment, and then on wondering, oh, how am I going to

Unknown: 00:02:30

look like? No, they just are so passionate and driven about what

Unknown: 00:02:36

they do. Now I want to ask you, what is your passion? Maybe your

Unknown: 00:02:45

answers Well, I don't really have a passion. I like doing

Unknown: 00:02:48

this that I doing that. This is fun, too. But I don't really

Unknown: 00:02:53

have a passion. Then I invite you today to search for your

Unknown: 00:03:01

passion. And the easiest way to do this is to go back in time.

Unknown: 00:03:09

And for everybody is going to be different. You go back to

Unknown: 00:03:14

teenage years, you go back to childhood years were toddler.

Unknown: 00:03:24

And then you realize you were passionate about something at

Unknown: 00:03:27

some point. Was it cars? Was it horses? Was it soccer.

Unknown: 00:03:37

Children are

Unknown: 00:03:39

very, very easy going when it comes to that they express

Unknown: 00:03:44

themselves. They know who they are. And they know what they

Unknown: 00:03:50

want. And they know what they're passionate about. And they show

Unknown: 00:03:53

it they're not fearful of showing it. And I know that this

Unknown: 00:03:58

little child is still inside of you. And if you are one of the

Unknown: 00:04:03

people who says Well no, I don't really have a passion. I invite

Unknown: 00:04:09

you to make this a priority in your life. Because this is going

Unknown: 00:04:15

to give you a feeling of lightness, a feeling of

Unknown: 00:04:18

connectedness, a feeling of deep self care, self love and the

Unknown: 00:04:27

opposite of self consciousness. When you're passionate about

Unknown: 00:04:31

something you don't think about Oh How do I look? How, how is

Unknown: 00:04:37

this going to be received? And I don't know if I can do this. No.

Unknown: 00:04:43

When you are in passionate mode you just do. You don't ask

Unknown: 00:04:48

questions you are dropped right into your heart space out of

Unknown: 00:04:54

your headspace and it is such an important state. To be in, if

Unknown: 00:05:02

not the most important state. So the first thing you can do is,

Unknown: 00:05:08

as I said a couple minutes earlier here, you go back and

Unknown: 00:05:11

try to go back in time and see if there is something that you

Unknown: 00:05:17

neglected for a while something that you even suffocated and

Unknown: 00:05:21

pushed away. Because maybe you were hurt. Maybe you faced huge

Unknown: 00:05:28

disappointed, maybe disappointment, sorry, maybe you

Unknown: 00:05:32

experienced rejection. And I feel and this is why I'm so

Unknown: 00:05:41

passionate to talk about this. Maybe something happened along

Unknown: 00:05:48

the way that make you reject. What do you passionate about

Unknown: 00:05:53

what you love so much. And maybe you have to go back and see, is

Unknown: 00:05:58

this reason really valid still to this date? Should I give up

Unknown: 00:06:07

my ice skating career, my passion that I experienced

Unknown: 00:06:11

there, just because I fell that one time or just because I fell

Unknown: 00:06:17

that one time and people were laughing at me. Most of the time

Unknown: 00:06:21

when we reject a passion that we once had. It has something to do

Unknown: 00:06:28

with an event happening. If you can go back in time and forgive

Unknown: 00:06:34

and forget and move on and grow, then you can go back to that

Unknown: 00:06:41

passion and maybe not to the same degree. But the best

Unknown: 00:06:46

coaches, the best people who have experienced pain around

Unknown: 00:06:53

their passion and felt rejected and don't felt good about their

Unknown: 00:06:59

passion for a long time. They find ways to reconnect to that

Unknown: 00:07:05

passion and to recognize to that little chair that they once were

Unknown: 00:07:10

so light hearted, so easy going so joyous. And so absolutely

Unknown: 00:07:16

careless, when it came to the judgment of other people. I want

Unknown: 00:07:23

to tell you a little story that most of you who started

Unknown: 00:07:28

listening to my podcast from the very start know already. But for

Unknown: 00:07:35

the new people here on board, I was bullied at school. And not

Unknown: 00:07:40

only from children, I was bullied from, like by I think

Unknown: 00:07:46

you say in English by teachers. And it was really nasty. It was

Unknown: 00:07:51

really bad. Like my one teachers said in grade two, you are never

Unknown: 00:07:56

going to make it anywhere. She was angry. For some reason. I

Unknown: 00:07:59

didn't understand a math problem. And she just said

Unknown: 00:08:04

you're never gonna make it to college.

Unknown: 00:08:07

At the end of the day, I

Unknown: 00:08:09

went to see my mom and I was like, Mom, why does college. You

Unknown: 00:08:15

see, like, such painful experiences make you feel, in my

Unknown: 00:08:21

case, very dumb. My mom was trying to explain to me but

Unknown: 00:08:26

didn't want to because she didn't want that message to

Unknown: 00:08:29

reach my little baby's brain. And it was just a whole mess. My

Unknown: 00:08:36

whole school career was a mess when I was in Germany. It's just

Unknown: 00:08:41

because I was very anxious, very dumb. I felt that people were

Unknown: 00:08:45

judging me. And that made it worse. I was more anxious. And

Unknown: 00:08:51

yeah, more nervous and made more mistakes. And it was just a

Unknown: 00:08:54

whole show my school career in Germany. Now coming to Canada, I

Unknown: 00:09:01

was told, if you want the easy way out with immigration to

Unknown: 00:09:06

Canada, you have to go back to school. And I was shocked. I had

Unknown: 00:09:12

so much resistance and was like No, I'm done with school. I'm

Unknown: 00:09:18

done with it. But I faced the challenge. I embraced the

Unknown: 00:09:23

challenge. I went back to school and I had the best two school

Unknown: 00:09:27

years of my life. I approached it with fresh eyes I studied in

Unknown: 00:09:33

a foreign language. And the teachers were so kind and

Unknown: 00:09:37

helpful and motivating and inspiring that I become an A

Unknown: 00:09:42

student in a foreign country. Because why? Because I chose to

Unknown: 00:09:48

let go of my old story and to give myself a second chance and

Unknown: 00:09:54

I had huge success with it. So now when it comes to your

Unknown: 00:09:59

passion I invite you, I beg you to explore this for yourself.

Unknown: 00:10:06

And if you don't feel you have a purpose in life, then I invite

Unknown: 00:10:10

you to connect with me. And we can have a couple of one on one

Unknown: 00:10:13

sessions or meditations to bring your purpose out of you, because

Unknown: 00:10:19

it's lingering inside of you. It's maybe still dormant. But I

Unknown: 00:10:25

know it is there, because maybe you have put it to rest. And

Unknown: 00:10:29

maybe we just have to dig it again. And look at me now, I'm

Unknown: 00:10:34

not scared of public speaking, I'm not scared of learning new

Unknown: 00:10:38

things. And I'm not scared to share my experience and to help

Unknown: 00:10:43

people out. And I was a totally different child, a very shy,

Unknown: 00:10:49

anxious child. And I think of that child at times, and I just

Unknown: 00:10:54

embrace it, and tell it, it all went, well. I'm out there now.

Unknown: 00:10:59

I'm helping other people. And I found my passion. So your

Unknown: 00:11:06

passion can look like whatever you want it to look like. Most

Unknown: 00:11:10

of the time, a passion in the end of the day is going to even

Unknown: 00:11:14

serve other people. Are people going to see you play the piano,

Unknown: 00:11:19

people are going to see you perform and sports or arts? Are

Unknown: 00:11:23

you going to be singing? Are you going to be creating something

Unknown: 00:11:27

and if you share it with other people, trust me if your work

Unknown: 00:11:31

comes from the heart from deep passion, people will applaud you

Unknown: 00:11:37

people will be excited to see your stuff. And he would attract

Unknown: 00:11:43

people into your life that are meant to be in your life. Thank

Unknown: 00:11:49

you so much for listening to this episode here as you can

Unknown: 00:11:53

hear as you can feel. This episode is especially dear to my

Unknown: 00:11:59

heart. I send my love out to you. I appreciate you so much.

Unknown: 00:12:06

And I hope that you received my message Well, I will be out

Unknown: 00:12:10

there very soon again. Until then, take good care of

Unknown: 00:12:14

yourself. I will have a huge glass of water now, because I'm

Unknown: 00:12:18

a little thirsty. Maybe you are too. Until next time.
