Summary

Nothing in your life will change until you stop outsourcing your own power and start developing the parts of you that already exist. So much of the time, we subconsciously put people on pedestals as a way to relieve ourselves of the responsibility of stepping into our own full potential. In this episode, I share the shortcut to figuring out your unique gifts and purpose in order to cultivate the light that exists within you. I walk you through quick power practices to ground yourself in your power, find who and what you resonate with, and what your biggest triggers are trying to mirror back to you. Remember, the light you see in someone else is not random. You're just recognizing parts of yourself in them.

power, until you start developing those parts of you that already exist, and stop buying into

0:16.2

the false belief that the things you admire in someone else are proof that you do not have those same

0:23.4

qualities when in fact they are proof of the opposite.

0:31.6

If you right now find yourself in a place where you feel as though your next level might be taking you in a different direction,

0:49.9

or you're trying to figure out the shortcut to how do you connect with your unique gifts and

0:58.9

purpose? Like you may even be successful already, but you feel as though there is something

more for you to unlock. Or maybe you listen to this podcast and other podcasts because you do know

there's more for you

and you haven't fully experienced that.

You're in a season of really discovering who you are and what you want to be doing.

1:17.9

I want to give you one of the fastest shortcuts to figure out what your gifts and your purpose may be.

1:25.3

And it all boils down to the light that you're drawn to in other people. So I want to

1:33.5

break this down and talk about why I believe that we shouldn't ever put people on pedestals,

1:39.9
