Ep108: Who and What Defines You

Who and What defines You? What makes you, You? If I say you are something, are you that thing? Who decides if you are or not? Me? You?   In this modern world, we are drowning in information. So many messages and lots of voices. Today, almost everyone is entitled to what he/she believes in almost anything. Sometimes we wander and lose ourselves amid this great confusion. That is why sometimes we need a reminder of who we are and what we stand for to keep ourselves grounded.   In this episode, Heather talks about who and what really defines you. So sit back, relax, and savor this one as she drops major nuggets of wisdom about life, judgment and opinions, and your sense of self.   Enjoy Episode 108!

That's not fair to you and you also rob the world of an opportunity to hear your unique perspective.”   “We need to do more than just passively exist in the world.”   “Everybody has a right to make those decisions and hold those beliefs for themselves.”   “When you know who you are and when you know what you stand for and when you are sure of yourself, you're clear on your yes and your no and where you are, there's no charge. It doesn't bother you to speak your truth. It doesn't bother you to stand up. It doesn't bother you to be judged. It doesn't bother you to be criticized. You're not worried about what people think of you because you know what you think of you. And that's the work. When you reclaim your own sovereign right to your own lived experience, your own worldview, your own beliefs system, your own right to define who you are, while simultaneously understanding that other people have judgments and perceptions of you and being able to validate from your perspective erroneous judgments and perceptions, life gets a lot easier.”   “I see this soul within. I recognize your right to feel how you feel.”   “I am allowed to have my own thoughts and hold them just as sacred and honor them as much as I feel that way about you.”   “It's loving yourself and seeing yourself as you do other people. Holding yourself and your own opinion of yourself in high esteem and regard.”   “I believe that we return to mental and emotional and spiritual and physical equilibrium and wellness and wholeness within ourselves when we start looking in the mirror and saying, you know what, what I think about you is what is going to rule the day here.”   “It's not about not listening to other people and it's not about narcissistically only listening to ourselves. It's about doing both. It's about caring about how other people feel and how other people see the world and also how you see yourself.”   “I want to encourage you and inspire you to return to giving the world who you, not only who you are in this moment, but also the heights of who you are destined to become.” Links Mentioned:   Join The Atmana Intuitive Coach Collective Facebook Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/atmanaintuitivecoachcollective    Join the next Live Your Purpose, Launch Your Practice Workshop here: http://www.intuitivecoachlaunch.com/
