Weekly Wisdom - SoundSage

Learning to be happy by yourself is crucial in order to bring your best self to relationships. You're alone in your experience because your thoughts, judgments, and perspectives are exclusively your own. Everyone is living in their own world. Learning to be comfortable with being alone is learning to not be defined by others.

KEY POINTS:

We try HARD
Work on being happiest when you're by yourself
Abandonment issues...
Clinging does not help relationships
New perspective: You're always alone anyways
Your perception and lens on reality is exclusively your own
Eating a meal with your best friend...
Own the fact you're always alone in your experience
Your experience is not theirs, and theirs is not yours
When you feel your best by yourself you're able to GIVE in a relationship instead of TAKE
This week, try to give in a relationship

Action comes BEFORE motivation. It's easy to sit and wait for motivation to pursue your goals and passions. Without action, motivation happens every so often. With action, motivation becomes the result and a driving force. Your mind will trick you into thinking everything's more important than what you want to pursue. Don't listen. Take the step, the motivation will follow.

KEY POINTS:

I have not uploaded an episode for a month
Waiting for motivation to get something done... it won't get done
There is always something that seems more important then your goals
The hardest part of getting something done is starting
If motivation came first, then you would already have everything you've ever wanted
The idea itself is not enough to motivate you
Motivation can die quickly
Motivation comes right after taking action

You often subconsciously move and act from a place of fear. Some examples are getting A's because you're WORRIED about failing, working out because you're SCARED of being out of shape, and being nice because you FEAR rejection. Changing your mindset and moving from love will allow you to express yourself, find peace, and live with purpose. Get A's because you LOVE to learn. Work out because you LIKE the feeling of working on yourself, and be nice because you UNDERSTAND that everyone is on the same hunk of rock floating in space. You don't move with fear to get through love but moving from love can get you through fear.

KEY POINTS:

Look at yourself in relation to you, not in relation to others
Living in relation to others limits your own expression
These people, family, or friends don't even have THEIR stuff figured out and your viewing yourself from their lens instead of developing your own
Often a lot of your actions are fueled by fear
Example of moving from fear: "If I don't keep doing this every day, even if I'm sad, then I'm failing and moving backwards"
Do what feels right in your heart
Look at everything you do this week and analyze whether you're moving from fear or love. Reframe in love
What fuels your fire?
Fear can motivate short term but won't create long term peace, happiness, and passion

Through boredom you will find your OWN voice. In 2021 there's always something to do, check, watch, or engage with in every moment of the day. However, most of this input is other peoples words, creations, and ideas; NOT your own. You must release control and accept boredom to find and develop your own thoughts and personal expression.

KEY POINTS:

Think your own thoughts in a world that tries to think for you
You have been influenced to believe boredom is bad
In 2021 It's SO easy to fill up ALL free time
Western culture stresses doing, striving, and achieving. Boredom is a "sin" and means you're not "doing enough"
Human nature and the point of existence is to control and create life, experiences, and circumstances
Boredom is uncomfortable because you can't use your personal will to control
The distractions you use when you don't allow yourself to be bored creates an environment where you're not thinking for yourself
Intention and awareness is key
Your own Ideas and thoughts will flow if you allow yourself to be bored
Control and creation work hand in hand

Although your ego likes to think so, nothing in your life is permanent. Loved ones, materials, and even you will someday leave this Earth. The freedom is understanding that you don't know when. It could be tomorrow, a week, a month, or years away. Suffering occurs when you lose something you thought you would have one day longer. Live every day like its your last day on Earth because you, just like me, are only a guests on this planet.

KEY POINTS:

Grab life by the balls
Nothing is permanent. NOTHING
A loss in not just what was lost but the future you have created with these objects or people in your mind
Take action now. Tomorrow in not garenteed
Suffering arises when you lose something you believed you would have one day longer
Life is an amusement park. You get on the ride knowing the ride will come to an end but this does not make you unable to enjoy the experience
You are a guest on Earth
Ego attaches to form identity
The "good old days" will always be today and never yesterday
Even emotions are impermanent, allowing you to change.

Being open to your emotions is hard but necessary to living in alignment. ALL emotions, even negative, guide you to your best self. Instead of living in fear, suppressing, or hiding your emotions, feeling them will open the door to creativity and intuition. And YES, emotion for all genders and ages because emotion is part of being HUMAN.

KEY POINTS:

Emotion is a human experience
Childhood and culture has labeled males are not emotional, and females as emotional.
You can't express the full spectrum of emotions if you're not feeling them
Negative emotions are meant to serve you by drawing attention to certain aspects of your life
Females are better at listening to themselves before taking action
Emotion is a compass if you let it guide you.
Emotion is another language
Helps creativity, connection with others, and intuition
Emotion is the language of the soul and spirit

If purpose is not the starting point for living a fulfilling life then what is? Passion! This last week I saw the Shakespeare play, King Leer, and Doc from Back to the Future (Christopher Lloyd) was the main character. How can an 82 year old man perform every night for 25 days straight? You guessed it! He has passion. Finding your own passion is key to serving others while on the way to finding personal happiness. In other words, find your passion and your purpose will follow.

KEY POINTS:

You will find your purpose through your passion
Purpose is a difficult starting point
Christopher Lloyd has passion which is why he is still able to act consistently
Find what you love and stick to it
You have a unique talent, skill, or perspective that no one else can provide
Don't worry about judgment, people will judge either way whether you're failing or winning. Just follow what makes you feel most alive
You have the ability to change someones day or someones entire life
Follow your passion and your purpose will follow

Preparation is the key to your manifestation. To release this episode I learned podcasting with no prior knowledge in ONE WEEK. After spending hours and days researching, a 5 minute episode is ALL there is to show for my work. This is because preparation is essential for creation. In the wise words of Abraham Lincoln,"If I had 9 hours to cut down a tree, I would spent 6 of them sharpening my axe."

KEY POINTS:

FIRST EPISODE
Any fished product/manifestation requires preparation
We often only see the tip of the iceberg
Set the goal then take the steps needed. The goal is always in mind
Cant prepare for ever, but you WILL be ready when action is taken
Prepare your mind, body, and spirit, and the rest will follow

In this podcast I will share a story from the week and analyze what lessons, themes or practices were prevalent in order to extract the golden nuggets of wisdom in everyday life.

KEY POINTS:

The only credentials needed to have and develop wisdom is that you need to be alive
Schools and western culture stressed intellectual sharpness over wisdom
Wisdom is developed through life experience and reflection
