Would I be a disciple of me?

Have you ever felt unsure if you're making the most of life?  Or confused about what path to follow?

Determining if we are on the right path in life can be a profound and often perplexing question, especially in an era of seemingly boundless material comforts yet escalating despair. Amid this paradox, there is no better compass to follow than the idealized version of ourselves. When we possess a clear vision of our potential and the impact we aspire to make in the world and our community, that becomes our guiding star. By setting our goals around our ideal self, we align our actions with our aspirations and draw others toward our purpose. Self-transformation creates a magnet for genuine connections with those who share our core interests and beliefs. 

In this episode, we discuss the transformative journey of breaking free from the safety nets we've woven around our lives and daring to chase our deepest desires. We explore the paths to becoming the person our younger selves would look up to with admiration and excitement, filled with a sense of adventure and boundless curiosity. Tune in as we learn how to become a disciple of yourself, committed to the pursuit of your most authentic, adventurous, and joyful self.
