Hey Clickers,
Here's something interesting.
Recently, my mother found herself in yoga and this thought leader, Danielle LaPorte. Earlier this year we went to Wanderlust, Hollywood to see her speak. While my mother was enthralled with her speech taking down her wisdom with a pen and paper I, on the other hand, was not as impressed. Honestly, I've never been into the whole "motivational" speaker gig. Why pay someone to tell me something I already know? I digress.
Anyways, when we returned home my mother had bought Danielle's book, The Desire Map, and two boxes of cards called Truth Bombs. She had a pink box and a gold box that held inspirational quotes.
For a couple of weeks, she read the book but, did not touch the cards until last week. She decided to pull one card from one box everyday. One day it was the gold box, the other it was the pink and she alternated. This week she asked me to pick a card from the box with her. I agreed and picked a random card from the deck. I read it and found that the saying had a lot to do with what was going on in my life. I decided to pick from the other box and found that it had another profound statement applicable to my life.
So now, I've been picking two cards a day, one from the gold and another from the pink box.
Today my gold card said:
"Pay closer attention to your fantasies"
I found this intriguing because recently I've been trying to build up my brand and my presence on the internet. There is a lot that's going into it and I think that I should start looking at the smaller details of this big plan.
The pink card said:
"You don't need their approval"
This really struck me because, I've struggled with wanting/not wanting other people's approval. Human nature, I guess. Currently, I'm conflicted on whether or not I should act on my emotions although it might upset a few of my friends. Although, I'm still conflicted, this card gave me a little push to think about it some more before I just jump into a decision.
Over this week these cards have been insightful and inspiring. I guess I had a small change of heart. This doesn't mean I'll live by her words and get into her books and such. I'll just take into considerations what these cards say, if they have something good to say.
You guys should check her out for yourselves and see what you think! I linked her website to her name.
