There are several stages of life. Just as there are several stages of almost anything we venture to accomplish, or journey to learn. In this episode, we learn about leaving behind dependence in order to be more contributive in life.

Many of us find it difficult to not dwell on the one thing, situation, or person that brings challenges to our lives. And when chanting, it’s difficult to not bring that one thing into our head space. Chanting more broadly will help to bring a more roundabout success that isn’t focused on the singular negatives.

There are plenty of us that seem to be stuck in the same routine with very little progress in life. A lot of us stay because it’s comfortable or because we’re afraid to take a leap of faith. We’re afraid of what will happen. If you trust yourself, then you need to trust that the universe will be there for you…

It’s not easy to let things, situations, and especially people, go. Is the drama worth it? Are you settling? Will making a big deal about something small really serve to your benefit? Are you afraid to be alone? Will telling the other person how you really feel change anything at all? Sometimes it’s better to run into the storm and let it all go…

We’ve all been there. We put a plan into place. We work on it tirelessly. We see amazing, or at least average, progress. And then, boom, the progress stops and our efforts no longer bring gains. This is a time to celebrate and reassess. And then onto the next plateau!!

Most of us go through a relatively structured day and week, pushing through our lives with our schedule moving us on autopilot. But, if we track data points in our relationships, job, hobbies, and endeavors, we’ll see patterns emerge that will either give us information we didn’t know, or reinforce ideas we already understood. Either way, you’ll be able to adjust your life and alter your path, to better focus on what it is you really want. We learn a little about it all in this episode…
