Episode 6 - Do we get a Do-over?

Blooming Voices Podcast

Is failure bad? Fail as often as possible! We bloom and grow through the lessons we learn.

--- Takeaways ---

• If you can follow your passions, even if they seem impractical, do it. It’s never a waste of time because there is always something you can learn or gain from new experiences.
• There is no such thing as wrong when you are trying to figure out your life. There is easy and then there is challenging.
• You can only make decisions from the place you are at. Embrace it and be gentle with yourself. If you feel regret for your choices, find the lesson in it. That’s how we grow and evolve.
• That inner voice you hear is your higher self guiding you. Follow the impulse that it is communicating with you.
• Not everything is a big, loud action. A quiet hobby can be just as meaningful.
• Sometimes the impulse is to engage in a new hobby or even just go for a walk. We can gain clarity or an understanding of what to do next when we pay attention to that voice.
• Sometimes change means getting out of your comfort zone.
• My favorite expression is: Everything happens for me, not to me. I am not the victim of my own story. I am the hero. That’s how you empower yourself.
• We hardly get things right the first time. No one is perfect because perfect doesn’t exist.
• if you’ve ever failed at something, great; you’re human. You took a risk and tried.
• Even someone with natural talent needs to cultivate it or be trained.
• When we fail, we succeed. Think of Thomas Edison. We see the finished product, but we don’t know how many times the creator failed to reach it.
• We don’t make mistakes. Even seemingly wrong choices are learning opportunities. Nothing happens by accident.
• Point of views are meant to change and evolve as we do.
