Lessons 11 through 20 in my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series all stem from one overarching theme: lead with curiosity. When I get curious with myself and the world around me, there’s so much potential for compassion, healing, and discovery.
In this episode, I reflect on some of my deepest liberatory practices, including not taking things personally, prioritizing people who can respect me, and honoring the orientation of my soul. All of the lessons mentioned in this series are extracted from lived experiences, either my own or those around me, so I’d love to hear what resonates with you. See you back here next week for lessons number 21 to 30!
In episode 438 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(0:47) Lesson #11: Allowing other people to have their own experiences is one of the most liberating practices that any of us can ever have.
(4:32) Lesson #12: Don’t take things personally, or make things about you.
(7:03) Lesson #13: Chronological age doesn't guarantee or determine as much as we think it should, would or does towards people's maturity.
(8:33) Lesson #14: None of us should waste our time with people who don't respect us.
(10:32) Lesson #15: Give the most time to people who see, honor, cherish, revere, and respect you for who you really are.
(15:27) Lesson #16: If any part of your identity is part of a norm, it's very important for you to learn about the lived experiences, and gain some insight and competence about the experiences of those who aren't part of the same norm that you are.
(18:22) Lesson #17: Money is important for survival, but it ain't all that.
(20:27) Lesson #18: Younger souls are here to manifest and older souls are here to serve God.
(24:10) Lesson #19: Accepting who and where you are, and accepting responsibility for your life, is also a liberatory practice.
(26:32) Lesson #20: Sometimes it's helpful to learn the rules so you can break them.
