Let’s Talk About It with Joyce Johnson with Guest Speaker Jasmine Waring #AuthorLife

People often avoid or delay making decisions for themselves by having someone else do it for them. But if you want to become the best version of yourself, you need to be willing and humble enough to look at where you are now, and bold enough to steer your life in the direction that feels right. And if things don’t turn out as you’d hoped, take accountability and make the necessary changes. According to Jasmine Waring, this is how you can live in alignment with your life’s purpose.

In today’s insightful episode, Jasmine talks about how people often get stuck in their comfort zone. She emphasizes the importance of being intentional in all your decisions, so you can move into a space of growth while also making a positive impact on others.

Quotes

“I was talking about how do I find alignment, and I think...the biggest thing is to understand the value of it in your life and not feel like you have to go and go and go and continue to do everything for everybody else, including making decisions.” [2:13]

“I work in a space that is about advancing careers of people who are in sales, and some of the people I speak with have been in the same industry for 10, 15, 20 years and are just afraid to ever consider something else, even if they’re in a space that’s dying, you know? They’re just so stuck in the way that it’s been because that’s all they know, that they’re willing to go down with it rather than spreading their wings and trying something new or moving into a space that makes better sense for them as it relates to their goals.” [7:10]

“Enjoy the experience for what it is, but also know that sometimes things need to change. And you gotta be willing to make those changes for the alignment of your life and to be in the best space.” [14:32]

“When you’re in a space of flow, your career takes off, your life takes off, you start to glow a little bit more…when you move yourself to that space, the people around you start to feel that and benefit, as well, and so I’m hoping that y’all see that and feel that and get that when you need [sic] it, but just know that it goes deeper than what you see on the surface.” [17:16]
