| 21 Jan 2022 | Episode 98: B3 Break: Change Begins With Us | 00:12:29 | |
We must stop for a while and realize that change begins with us. In this time of so much unrest and pain, many of us turn outward in anger and frustration. It is a natural tendency for us to react to the horror we see around us and the growing stress we are experiencing in our daily lives. It can leave us feeling helpless and sad, so what is left is more noise and opinions on what others can do. We often think that when we look at problems of racism, prejudice, school shootings, the environment, and so on, the issues seem so overwhelming that we don’t know where to begin. With that, we tend to bring that negative energy into our being, resulting in resentment. Let’s regain a clear perspective and be at peace with ourselves. Love the show?

Have you ever thought about your purpose in life? Amy Vetter invites you to take some time and create a personal purpose statement that will align to your decisions as you move forward to the value you want to create in the world.

You can also treat this value as what your answer would be when someone asks you who you are. Amy wants you to remember that a lot of times we are defined by our accomplishments instead of the value we want to turn out in this world. Take a step back, reflect and think about this as a guidance on how you can create the outcome from the purpose that you will work for every day. Love the show?
