Life is full of adventures hiding behind an entrance fee of curiosity! It must simply be greater than our self-doubt and fears! Very few people in life land their truly aligned career or relationship on first attempt. We’ve all lived far more colourful lives than first impressions could ever tell. Share one of those stories here! For myself, last summer, I had an epiphany that I must CHALLENGE my limiting beliefs. One was that I could not be a heli-pilot because of 3 heart procedures as a kid with leukaemia. You can’t fly with risk of heart palpitations - which I have had probably once a month for 20 years. But I never medically confirmed this to disqualify me. The day after I realized I made an assumption, rather than make proof, I went to an aviation medical examiner, did all the test and passed with flying colors! 💫 I expressed my concerns and he said ‘no, you’re a young healthy guy despite your cancer, crazy if you DONT go for this with your clean bill of health.” 🤯 Next step, I call my only heli-pilot contact I met a a horseback guide in the Yukon a decade ago. I asked for pointers before paying $80,000 in schooling. 9min phone call later, he offered me a job as ground crew at his helicopter outfit in a remote Inuit village in the Yukon. I dropped my life, drove 37hours and spent 2 months in the epic north! Learned a TON! BUT! I learned that my truest calling is to be of deep and personal service to individuals. My gifts are to elevate others, and flying was just a ‘that’s pretty badass’ dream that I thought was denied me because of my heart procedures. But that man gave me an opportunity to realize my priorities and saved me heart $100,000 and YEARS of debt by giving me an inside view before investing. So my words to you, do not simply buy into any negative assumption about yourself. Challenge it and realize how often ONLY our own mindset and the story we tell ourselves is in the way! Thanks to @Georgiana D for inspiring this conversation!

Thanks @Georgiana D for inspiring this train of thought. The ‘embrace the suck’ mentality. I’m currently stuck in a foreign city with a $1000 vehicle bill. Burning all day away on the waterfront waiting for them to fix my wheels/house. Haha I’ve been nonstop and wanting more time for ProSpirit since being back on the road- oh look! The universe is offering me time! ALL roadblocks and inconveniences are opportunity is disguise. - Delayed trip or traffic jam? Practicing patience and meditation time. Wander down a new street, call the friend you’ve been ‘too busy’ for. - Feeling lonely? The whole world becomes a playground of starting bizarre convos. Get weird with it. Ask ‘Have you heard any rumours?’ (People usually have something to say 😂) say it like it is- ‘Hey, I’m finding new friends , any suggestions on place to meet people?’ It takes pressure off the stranger , yet maybe THEY fill the gap and want to be the friend, life hack😏 - Creative blocks? Go get inspired. Get outside your bubble and allow yourself to be totally renewed. Sometimes you just need a brain break. - Relationship block? Have the scary convo! All dispute is an opportunity for greater closeness when navigated with intent of greater harmony. Again- ‘us vs problem’ not ‘you vs me.’ Mindset. The argument is the actual true reflection of your connection. Anybody can have convenient companions. It’s those who can argue and disagree in a healthy way together that grow true intimacy. 🤙 What inconveniences have you used as growth opportunities? How have you turned a roadblock into a side quest?

Journaling is now my new favorite thing when I want to share something good or bad about my life. A journal doesn’t judge, a journal doesn’t question, it simply receives all the raw motions of life without any favors. A month of journaling has showed me that I can have compassion for myself, which I haven’t had in awhile. When things get tough or I’m in a slump I can bounce back quicker, I can see the good and everything I do, even if it was something bad and . I highly recommend a gratitude journal for anyone who wants to get out of a slump, out of a bad headspace and focus on reflecting inward instead of consuming from external devices, like social media, podcasts, books all the time for validation or advice. Documenting all the good things in your life is a simple act to rewire your brain to see the positives in life of all the things you do right and all the good you witness as well because there’s always good in the world you just have to look for it.🤗

I love getting to know people through their favourite music and why it is for them! I’ll start - https://youtu.be/geZ_5Ri7ANg?si=Jwn1fcQT41c3Akte Rock n roll - eden. Explains my feeling of wanting to be thoroughly used up by life, yet balancing the sensation of feeling lost and misunderstood in trying to do life differently. ‘I ain’t scared of living’ is like a lifeline for me. And the ‘I’m not worried about you’ convo at the end hits a soft spot. I can’t help but also share https://youtu.be/EwI-Ttci9qQ?si=wBBarI6LMf7g31Kb this INSANE new beatbox that tickles my brain. I promise you’ll feel it in your bones And https://youtu.be/zBgHSPUv_8g?si=wezWkCaJDMPrtJYs bittersweet symphony - luca stricagnoli is the epitome of flow state. It quiets my brain and helps me revisit a sense of awe for people’s capacity for creativity in life! Can’t wait to hear yours!

Where ever you are in the world and whenever Friday is for you. I hope it's the BEST day EVER! I am grateful for you and this community. 💖 https://youtu.be/1AnG04qnLqI?si=oHZLimw0dOVgJP3-
