In this episode I will expose to you the couple things that you might be doing to sabotage your own drive and ambition, without you being consciously aware of it.

Let's face it. We all have something to offer, we all have incredible potential sleeping inside of us why is it that only a few keep going and pushing ?

Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and

Unknown:

welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm your host

Unknown:

Aurora. And I'm very happy to be spending some time with you

Unknown:

today. This huge thunderstorm rolling in as I speak. And it's

Unknown:

crazy because from sunshine and blue sky, it is turning to this

Unknown:

thick gray sky now, and I can see the rain over there over the

Unknown:

hills coming slowly but surely. Thank God, I'm in a warm place.

Unknown:

Cozy on a couch. And I'm able to be spending some time with you

Unknown:

now. If you haven't yet, make sure to subscribe to this little

Unknown:

podcast of mine here. And leave me a review on Apple podcast. It

Unknown:

would mean the world to me. Today I want to talk about the

Unknown:

number one killer of your ambition. What is it that

Unknown:

cripples your self esteem that makes you feel small? That makes

Unknown:

you feel unimportant? That makes you think these sorts of what

Unknown:

message do I have to tell the world? Why do I think I should

Unknown:

be doing this? I feel the number one killer is comparing yourself

Unknown:

to others. If you look at social media, I love social media, you

Unknown:

know that I love it so much. Because they're I get to connect

Unknown:

with you, I get to post videos. And yeah, I interact with with

Unknown:

all you lovely people out there. But there's days where I peek

Unknown:

into other people's success paths and see everything they

Unknown:

are doing and I'm not doing and yeah, start comparing myself.

Unknown:

And it all happens very unconsciously. You just click on

Unknown:

somebody and then you go through their feed and you just think

Unknown:

holy, what am I doing? Why do I think I should keep doing what

Unknown:

I'm doing. And these awful thoughts come up.

Unknown:

And I'm sure

Unknown:

it is very relatable. To many people out there doesn't have to

Unknown:

be Facebook, it doesn't have to be social media, or podcasting,

Unknown:

it can be anything that you would like to start and then you

Unknown:

kind of get going a little bit, but then you start looking left

Unknown:

and right. And you think oh my god, like I'm so far from being

Unknown:

as good as others here. And this is very important to notice. And

Unknown:

to stop. Immediately. When these thoughts come up, when these

Unknown:

ugly feelings come up and start consuming your energy and your

Unknown:

positivity and your drive. You have to stop it right away. And

Unknown:

have tools have things in place that you can do right away in

Unknown:

order to feel better and to keep in your

Unknown:

tracks.

Unknown:

What I like to do is, call a friend, talk to a friend, and

Unknown:

then not whine about how I feel but ask about their day. And ask

Unknown:

about how they're doing and on which journey they are on. And

Unknown:

usually that's very inspiring already. And if they asked me

Unknown:

how I'm feeling, then I will be open and transparent and tell

Unknown:

them what was going on in my brain just recently. And they

Unknown:

will help you to get back on tracks.

Unknown:

Another thing that

Unknown:

you should really learn to do is that when you start doing

Unknown:

something that you trust, your intention and your motivation,

Unknown:

you want to be good at something. You want to express

Unknown:

yourself. You want to show to the world what you have to offer

Unknown:

and you're offering something that serves other people that

Unknown:

causes no harm to other people, but only brings value to other

Unknown:

people's lives. And when you start focusing on that mission

Unknown:

and intention only When you face a dark day, when you face a

Unknown:

moment of comparing yourself to another person, you will be able

Unknown:

to remind yourself of your mission. And to know that, if

Unknown:

you only help one person out there, you are successful

Unknown:

already. And if it is to person, you can count yourself lucky.

Unknown:

And other people might be very successful too. And try to see

Unknown:

them as an inspiration, instead of an intimidation, try to see

Unknown:

that there might be focusing a little bit more, they might be

Unknown:

engaging in distractions a little bit less, they might take

Unknown:

a little bit better care of their physical body and their

Unknown:

emotional body, they might be surrounding themselves with

Unknown:

people that inspire them and uplift them on a daily basis. It

Unknown:

is very important to see who you surround yourself with, and to

Unknown:

seek approval from the right people and to seek approval in a

Unknown:

healthy way. I think it is wrong to say that we shouldn't seek

Unknown:

approval because I feel it is a very human thing to do. It's

Unknown:

happening automatic, we want to feel like we belong, we want to

Unknown:

feel like we're doing good, we want to feel that we're enough.

Unknown:

And we want to even feel sometimes that we are

Unknown:

influencing people in a very good and healthy way. But you

Unknown:

have to seek that approval from a trusted source from a person

Unknown:

that you might be even looking up to never seek approval from a

Unknown:

person that you don't want to trade places with, if you know

Unknown:

what I mean. And the sad part about this is that sometimes the

Unknown:

people we love most, sometimes our parents or siblings are on a

Unknown:

very different path are in a very different stage of their

Unknown:

healing and process and living and everything. And sometimes we

Unknown:

cannot ask for help or approval from those people that are

Unknown:

closest to us. Because they're not there yet. Maybe they don't

Unknown:

really understand what you're trying to do. And they will try

Unknown:

to hold you back, they will limit you with their limiting

Unknown:

beliefs. And you will just end up frustrated and confused and

Unknown:

lost and not knowing should I be pursuing my passion, or should I

Unknown:

just let it go and become a banker after all, and becoming a

Unknown:

banker is not a bad thing. But it is a bad thing, if you were

Unknown:

meant to become an artist or an actor, or a creative

Unknown:

personality. So the number one killer, I believe is comparing

Unknown:

yourself to others. Try to schedule time away from social

Unknown:

media. Try to use social media as a tool to boost your

Unknown:

confidence and to inspire you and never to compare yourself.

Unknown:

Try to consume a little less and create a little more. And again,

Unknown:

it doesn't have to be on Facebook. But on a daily basis.

Unknown:

Ask yourself, Am I consuming more than I'm creating? Am I

Unknown:

expressing more then just soaking in information and

Unknown:

letting it sit on my little lazy shelf inside of my brain? If you

Unknown:

know what I mean? Am I just you know with your eyes you consume

Unknown:

with your mouth you consume with your ears you consume, what kind

Unknown:

of quality of stuff are you consuming? And what kind of

Unknown:

stuff are you putting out there in the world. So, catch yourself

Unknown:

next time when you feel you're comparing yourself. catch

Unknown:

yourself when you feel you're seeking approval from someone

Unknown:

who has no credibility to give you any kind Have critique or

Unknown:

comment on what you're trying to do. And surround yourself with

Unknown:

people that are good for your soul and that are pushing you to

Unknown:

become better, and not making you feel as if you're not

Unknown:

enough. Another thing that I want to mention here when it

Unknown:

comes to your ambition, it is very important to I want to say

Unknown:

schedule.

Unknown:

But

Unknown:

maybe scheduling is not a good thing for you. But let's try it

Unknown:

out to schedule, maybe weekly. You sitting down at your desk,

Unknown:

and writing down all the little steps that you've done over the

Unknown:

week, to get closer to your goal to your dream. And I want you to

Unknown:

go back to all my episodes that I record it for you so far about

Unknown:

your dreams, and your goals. If you go onto my website, the

Unknown:

Borealis experienced.com you can at the very top, put in

Unknown:

keywords, and then it spits you out the episode yet that you

Unknown:

need for your specific mood or questions. And I want you to

Unknown:

listen to the episodes about your dreams. Because if you keep

Unknown:

track of the little steps that you took over a week, you will

Unknown:

see over time that this is very motivating and that you will

Unknown:

keep that beautiful new habit.

Unknown:

And this in turn will get you closer to your goals and dreams.

Unknown:

And it doesn't really matter how you approach like how you take

Unknown:

those little tech

Unknown:

steps.

Unknown:

It can be talking to someone who has done it already who is

Unknown:

successful already. It can be reading a book about what you're

Unknown:

passionate about and about the goal you want to reach. It can

Unknown:

be meeting up with people, strangers, on Facebook, in

Unknown:

Facebook groups, and bombarding them with questions. It can be

Unknown:

all sorts of things, but small little steps that you can track

Unknown:

and know that at the end of the week, you have become closer to

Unknown:

your goal and your dream. And those levels step will compound

Unknown:

over time and will transform into big steps. And one day you

Unknown:

can look back and see Yeah, you've done it, you are there.

Unknown:

And it only took a little bit of discipline, a little bit of self

Unknown:

awareness. And now you got to where you want it to be. The

Unknown:

better you know yourself. The more confident decisions you can

Unknown:

make, and the happier person you will be. And the happier person

Unknown:

you can be to others here, and society and communities on

Unknown:

planet Earth. I'm always there for you, you can always reach

Unknown:

out to me on Facebook, I launched my patreon profile here

Unknown:

recently, where you can connect with me directly we can have a

Unknown:

little zoom session, you can pour

Unknown:

out your

Unknown:

heart to me and then we can find constructive ways to get

Unknown:

yourself out of your mess. We can also meditate together if

Unknown:

that is something you would like to

Unknown:

try.

Unknown:

I'm sending my love out to you. Thank you from the bottom of my

Unknown:

heart to listen and to share these episodes with people that

Unknown:

you love and respect. And I will be out there very soon again.
