16. (S1E16) Do What Lights You Up; Messages from Snakes and Scorpions with Tabitha Scott · FINE is a 4-Letter Word

0:02
Hello and welcome to fine is a four letter word. My guest today
0:07
is tab at the Scott, and we met in a really interesting way,
0:12
Tabitha was doing a Google search on the term purposeful transformation,
0:18
and came across my LinkedIn profile, she reached out to me,
0:22
and we knew we were kindred spirits from the first moment and so
0:27
I'm so excited to have to have you on my podcast today.
0:31
Thank you for joining me. Thank you. And I am
0:34
all about that purposeful transformation work. I just released a blog today
0:39
about it, and you know not much was written about that,
0:43
and for your name to come up and the work that you've been
0:46
doing, it was fascinating to me, and then the more I got to
0:49
know what you're up to with this podcast and listen to some of
0:52
them. It's pretty darn fascinating. And I think a lot of women can
0:55
relate. Thank you. I like to start out our conversations with a little
1:00
bit of an understanding of where you came from, in terms of the
1:05
beliefs that were instilled in you as you were growing up,
1:08
that possibly had an effect on how your life has played out so
1:13
far, or from childhood to that point where everything was fine.
1:18
Yeah, so I had some pretty strong paradigms that were laying into me
1:23
as a strict Southern Baptist, I was Methodist part of my
1:28
child raising years and then Baptist, the other part, and it was a
1:33
no alcohol home, death and damnation and repentance and... Never ask about
1:39
other religions because they're just all going to hell, it was a very
1:43
strict upbringing with very clear rules, and I think there were reasons
1:49
that path was chosen by my parents, they were school teachers,
1:53
and so structure was very important to them. So I did teach me
1:57
a lot of things about values and community, honesty,
2:01
very good things, and it taught me a lot about
2:06
the Bible. We never missed a Sunday, we were like three times a
2:09
week, church goers. So it was very active and engaged in the Christian
2:15
faith, and what I learned as I grew up, and I began studying
2:20
electricity, electrical energy, and then human bio field energy, and the
2:24
more I learned about quantum science, the more it reinforced with the Bible,
2:30
but also other religions talk about with this source of universal energy
2:36
and that we are all just vibrating light, that's what we are.
2:40
And so for me, it was like this Easter egg hunt,
2:43
and the more I learned, the more I realized, Oh my goodness,
2:47
this explains the holy spirit, or this explains how Jesus healed people.
2:50
Or, you know, It was like There's affirmation of what they taught me,
2:54
but I also through my travels and work experience as an executive in
2:59
the renewable energy sector and working overseas and in different countries
3:03
and my travels, I learned a much more broad understanding of different faiths
3:07
and an appreciation for spirituality and connectedness that I didn't have
3:13
growing up, and since that time, I'm able to share that
3:17
back with my family and they're pretty understanding. It's so interesting
3:21
to me too that you brought up quantum physics and spirituality and how
3:26
often times it's one or the other, it's like science or spirituality,
3:31
why can't there be both? 'cause they are really intertwined. That's what
3:37
cracks me up. It was like, I read this book called Sapiens,
3:40
and it was like this big light bulb went on... After I read
3:43
that, I was working in Israel on some net zero housing,
3:48
and one of the guys at Jerusalem University said, I think you're gonna
3:51
love this book. As curious as you are and I into energy and
3:55
physics, you're gonna really like it. And it was so cool because it
3:59
put in perspective how religions were created as ways to add structure during
4:04
certain periods of time for certain reasons, and that really put a different
4:09
perspective, and it was enlightening for me to look at it through that
4:13
lens. If you look at the King James version of the Bible,
4:16
for example, God or Christ, they're referred to as the light 272 times,
4:23
it's because we're made of energy, so it's in the language all around
4:27
us and in all these ancient religions, so it's just super cool for
4:31
me to think that, Hey, it's all the same. It's not in conflict.
4:35
I love that. I love being able to share that with people,
4:39
to help them see different perspectives. Yeah, I like religion aside for
4:45
a minute and look at how we are all born into different socio
4:49
economic conditions, different countries, different political beliefs or
4:55
different education levels, all of these things are different and our paradigms
4:59
are different, but yet we're made of the exact same energy and so
5:04
are the plants, and so our animals, and we all go through the
5:09
same growth cycles, even companies go through the same growth cycles,
5:13
and that's why they use the S curve. So to me,
5:15
it all just comes back to energy. It's the source of everything.
5:20
Right, so you just brought up companies, let's go to where you took
5:25
these values and applied them to your professional career as a renewable
5:30
energy executive. Tell me a little bit more about that journey that you
5:34
are on that I had started out... I
5:38
grew into an executive early on, so by the age of 30,
5:41
I was a CEO of my first company, and
5:45
I thought making money is great, but it feels a little empty,
5:50
and this great mentor I had, date of ours, she said,
5:54
You know, I know what you're passionate about... And then figure out how
5:56
to get paid for it. And so that's what I did,
5:59
I said, I'm gonna solve the energy crisis and people will care,
6:02
and renewable energy, that's the future, and I had so much enthusiasm around
6:07
it, it wasn't even like working... And I spent a lot of years
6:11
working with companies on business models to adopt renewable energies because
6:16
they didn't wanna change, they didn't care about climate change like I thought
6:20
they might... Now, on the coast of the United States, they do in
6:25
certain areas. But where I was in the Southeast, coal is cheap,
6:30
and so it was really popular, so it took a lot of thinking
6:34
about how to approach things from a business model so that people could
6:37
get into energy and action. So they were talking about renewable energy,
6:41
but they really just were in it for the money, they were only
6:44
in it if you could find the money for them, and that was
6:47
what I did, I found ways to... Like instead of putting a solar
6:51
array on an individual house, which might take 10 years to pay back,
6:56
you put a bunch of solar arrays on a bunch of houses like
6:59
a Fort Bliss, 5000 homes and you make an asset out of it,
7:04
so it's just investing in real estate assets, who was a separate asset
7:08
that generated a return for companies, so coming up with these creative
7:12
models and working with other companies to do that is how...
7:15
We got it pushed through. You were a living and your whole life
7:19
at that point, it was... Everything was fine. Oh. Everything was so fine,
7:23
it was the best fake smile in a selfie like seen at that
7:29
point in my life. Because my kids were grown and
7:33
gone. They had just left the nest, everybody, this cookie cutter life that
7:37
I had, this Executive and her kids are grown and gone.
7:41
They're independent and there's 21 year marriage, but that marriage and
7:46
did the kids left and I was empty nesting at work,
7:50
it was 17 years in an industry that, like I said,
7:54
was constantly convincing people that renewable energy is a good idea because
7:59
it reduces pollution, it helps your health and people just didn't seem to
8:03
care, and again, in certain places, California or New York, certain places
8:08
that they did, it was just complete burnout from being that happy,
8:13
pleasant face and that ball of energy and really encouraging people about
8:19
what could happen if we did some things that reduced our carbon...
8:23
And at that time, when I was speaking to groups, I would say,
8:26
Hey, you know how many people have heard of the Exxon Valdez spill?
8:30
And everybody would raise their hand... What about the BP Gulf spill?
8:33
And everybody would raise their hand and then I'm like, What about the
8:36
TVA spill? That was in Tennessee and Kentucky,
8:40
and it was 100 times the size of the Exxon, it was 10
8:45
times the size of PP. And nobody ever raises their hands because we
8:50
don't even know what's going on right under our noses, and the deeper
8:53
you get into that underbelly of the industry, and the more you learn
8:57
about what we're doing to our health and the death of the animals,
9:01
the drinking water for seven counties that was affected, it just became
9:05
overwhelming that I couldn't help, and I felt like I was bringing these
9:10
little symbols of water on a forest fire,
9:13
and it just making a difference And so in our call that we
9:18
did before this interview, you told me about the absolute breaking point.
9:24
When you just decided, Alright, I cannot do this anymore.
9:28
Tell my audience, what happened there, in fact, that conversation. The whole
9:33
thing in the border, it was in a training session with executive leaders
9:39
from around the country and some from overseas, and
9:44
I had just weeks prior, had surgery for a breast cancer scare and
9:51
hadn't told any what at work, because I had been shooting all over
9:55
myself, what I mean by that is I should not let them see
9:59
me when I should not tell them about this surgery, I don't want
10:02
anyone looking at my breast, I don't want anyone thinking about me in
10:05
that way in Episode 2, Daro Goldberg talks about shedding set,
10:10
getting the shows, that's what snakes told me in my book,
10:14
shut your skin, but that's another story. So
10:18
yeah, I was busy shooting on myself, you should be able to cope
10:22
with this marriage that's dissipated after a couple of decades, and
10:27
the surgery was like... There's so much to process when that happens to
10:32
you, you're processing... Am I still female? Are people gonna look at me
10:35
funny or people gonna know... This was scary, but I don't wanna tell
10:40
anyone, there's so much that you're processing emotionally and mentally,
10:44
and then physically, I had these tubes running in different directions coming
10:47
out of my body, and if you've ever had a major surgery like
10:50
that, you've got stitches going in different places, so all this was going
10:54
on under my business jacket, I can't even believe you are sitting there
10:57
to weather on three weeks. Oh my gosh. So
11:03
we're in this training and it was negotiations training, and again,
11:06
it was a executive level, and I was doing well, it was a
11:10
series of competitive things where you negotiated that we would discuss
11:15
as a group. So I have been doing really well and scored well,
11:20
and someone piped up and said, Hey, here's what tab was able to
11:24
negotiate last night at dinner, she got us all these things,
11:28
just using the skills we learned in the training yesterday. So the teacher
11:33
says to me, tab, why don't you share with the class what your
11:37
techniques are... Now, I was excited about this because I worked from home,
11:41
and these people I don't get to see very often, maybe once every
11:45
other month, so this was an opportunity for me to really shine,
11:48
and I was one of very, very few females in that industry,
11:51
so before the words even can come out, this crossed the old guy,
11:56
pale stale mail, right hand and he says, Well, clearly she raised her
12:01
shirt and user tests and that's how she got what she wanted and...
12:05
No words, I could even come to. Nothing Wadia the time.
12:10
And I leaned over to the Director of HR that was sitting next
12:13
to me and said, Oh, I guess he missed his sensitivity training this
12:18
year. You know? Oh yes, yes, I take care of that.
12:21
But nothing was ever said, so. Wow, that just blows my mind.
12:27
Just like, whatever that. That's how we use.
12:30
So that is a Montford, whatever reason being so emotionally exhausted,
12:36
I just... I didn't say a word, I just was enough.
12:40
I can't take it. And quit my job, I gave away most of
12:44
my things and I went to living cost Tari and you're in a
12:47
jungle for three months. So you quit your job. How did you decide
12:51
CoStar? And did you just quit and then in the same moment go
12:55
Costa Rica. Had you been thinking about Costa Rica maybe for weeks or
12:59
months before... Yeah, the quit came over a period of time,
13:03
I had a wonderful boss at the time and
13:07
was able to work out, hey, I'll go ahead and work till the
13:10
end of the year. I knew it was gonna be a period of
13:13
time, and then I knew I wanted to go somewhere. So I started
13:16
language ing to friends, I wanna go somewhere, if you know anybody that
13:20
has a place I could rent if you... And I wanna go somewhere
13:24
in the middle of nowhere, preferably in the language I don't understand,
13:27
and I just wanna be away from everything and immersed in nature,
13:31
and a friend of mine had another friend with a place in rural
13:37
Costa Rica. It's an hour and a half from paved roads for three
13:41
months, I got it for about the same prices that we can Disney,
13:44
so super, I expect. But there's a reason. Wow, scorpion.
13:51
Scorpion carbines are real. No, thanks. Did you wake up with them...
13:56
Now that you brought it up, I have to... Now that I brought
13:59
it up, well, I'm gonna add scorpion wrangling to my LinkedIn
14:05
qualify, because one of those people that think like, let's take the spider
14:10
outside, let's not kill it, and so I'm trying to do that with
14:13
these creatures that... I mean, I'm in Tennessee, in Nashville, the last
14:17
15 years in Kentucky, before that, we don't have scorpion, so I didn't
14:21
know what to do with them. And their little barb tails were all
14:24
were ready to get me, so I'm putting them in plastic cups and
14:28
taking them outside, I saw eight of them in a 48 hour period,
14:33
and it was one of those in book I talk about animals that
14:37
are answers to what I was asking the universe at the time,
14:41
I would say, Hey, God, what should I do about this?
14:45
What should I do about that? And I became very, very attuned to
14:48
the animals around me, so during that 48 hour period until I figured
14:52
out what the message was, they kept coming, and then after that,
14:56
I didn't see anymore. What was the message? Their message was,
15:00
I was trying to decide whether to invite someone I had been dating
15:05
down to Costa Rica to stay with me for a week or so,
15:08
and all of the Should... This guarded hard, I can't possibly let someone
15:14
in IT, I can't possibly experience love, I was too scared and I
15:18
had this huge barrier, this hard shell around my heart, if you do,
15:22
and I kept thinking, Why is a scorpion have to say
15:26
they have an ex skill it's a slither fierce there into constant defense,
15:31
and I was okay, like, Okay, fine, just let it go.
15:35
Take the risk, invite this guy down and stop. Stressing out again,
15:40
I was raised in this air that what would people think you're not
15:43
doing to this and people laugh at me when I say that,
15:46
but if you're raised that way... You get it.
15:49
Sure, so I didn't wanna disappoint anyone. And finally, I just said,
15:52
Forget it, I'm gonna have fun, and I'm gonna invite him.
15:56
And as soon as I did, they quit coming as fascinating to me...
15:59
I mean, it makes total sense because I believe in...
16:03
You get the signs, if you're paying attention, which you know so many
16:07
times people ask for a sign, God universe, whatever, please give me a
16:13
sign of which direction I'm supposed to go, what decision Am I supposed
16:16
to make? And they stress and these... Signs are coming to them.
16:19
They're just not seeing them. Yeah, you're not seeing them. And going back
16:23
to the episode you mentioned where your friend was talking about shedding
16:28
the shorts, that was the very first animal message that I got,
16:32
I was asking about the job specifically, and Do I change my name
16:38
back? What do I do about these things that... I kept seeing snakes
16:41
for a period of months, and we googled, we said, Is there a
16:45
snake craziness going on in the navarrese, and finally one day it was
16:52
like this flash of seder skin and snags them
16:56
because they can't grow into what they're supposed to be, they're literally,
17:00
Corti, they keep that skin and so you have to shut it,
17:03
and then the other reason they shut it is to get rid of
17:07
parasites and think about all the relationships, the negative self talk...
17:11
The pressure I was putting on myself. So
17:14
shed those shots, get rid of them, and he learned from the snakes.
17:18
Was that before or after you went to Costa Rica? That was before,
17:21
that was before I quit my job. What were the tools that you
17:25
used? I think you mentioned journaling, what were the tools that you used
17:29
to help yourself heal from that, all the pain and everything's fine here,
17:35
like those years of stuffing everything down to transforming into the person
17:42
that you then became... What were the tools that you used to do
17:45
that? Aside from running away to Costa Rica and just hanging out in
17:49
a jungle for three months. Definitely, I did a ton of journaling,
17:53
and I am not a journaling person that typically does that,
17:57
But I documented everything that happened in Costa Rican, how I was feeling.
18:02
I wrote down some very painful memories and I burned them one evening
18:07
and then buried the ashes and Costa Rica, so I took some books
18:11
to read about dealing with emotion and things like that, but mostly I
18:16
think better after I run of a very active person and so sitting
18:20
cross, negative breathing techniques, they don't work well for me unless
18:24
I'm exhausted, so for me, my happy place was getting in the jungle
18:28
and running on the trails, it was a 100 degree heat,
18:31
sweating and doing yoga every day, and just embracing the messages from
18:36
the animals and from nature. So I didn't even have a cell phone
18:40
service, there wasn't even an address or mail box of where I was
18:43
staying, which should have been the first clue and... So it was wonderful.
18:48
I didn't have the option to get online and check anything,
18:51
I had to go to the nearest village to get WiFi.
18:54
Now, I have a practical question that came up, and I'm sure that
18:57
my listeners are also thinking this question, where did you get your food...
19:02
It's not like you could go to Trader Joes. No, no.
19:05
But there were small groceries, there were places that you could get food,
19:10
you just had to go into the nearest
19:12
village to do that. Okay, so yeah, my first day I forgot about
19:17
these wild dogs that they were between the grocery and where I was
19:23
staying, the little place that I was staying, and I rented a bicycle
19:27
and that's in the town to get around, and I went to the
19:29
grocery and I had this pot on the front of the bicycle,
19:32
I had my backpack grocery strapped to this, and it's like this leisure
19:36
bicycle on dirt roads with pot holes the size of bathtubs,
19:40
it was insane trying to ride that thing, I didn't do it very
19:43
many weeks at a car. Anyway, those things were clinging like a monkey
19:48
with giant symbols really loud calling the dogs, and I'm trying to outrun
19:53
the dogs, it was quite an adventure go into the grocery,
19:56
but I figured, you know what, I can drop some margarine or butter
19:59
or something, and maybe they'll eat it instead of my
20:02
life. Wow. Okay. Yeah, not many people go to the extreme length that
20:11
you went to to rediscover your life's purpose. And you know what,
20:16
I didn't realize it would be that extreme... To be honest,
20:19
I looked on a map and I was like, Oh, it's near the
20:21
ocean, how cool it's... You're the jungle. How cool? How bad could it
20:25
be? And in my mind's eye, I had a Mountain Home or something,
20:31
I didn't really realize how remote, but it was wonderful, I was raised,
20:35
as I said, by two school teachers, and they made us abundantly curious
20:40
about nature and everything has a purpose. So even if it's scary,
20:44
don't be afraid, there's a good purpose for it and be respectful,
20:47
so it was good, and you know what, you don't have to go
20:51
to the jungle because anybody can tap into their energy, anybody can tap
20:56
into and recharge and reconnect at any time. It ended up being exactly
21:01
the place that you needed to be though, is what I was going
21:04
to say, it was... It was for me, because staying positive and staying
21:08
happy and going from a fine to fabulous, you do that by following
21:14
what makes you happy, following what makes your heart saying, what are those
21:17
things you're doing when you're subconsciously humming, when you lose track
21:20
of time. When you forget to eat, those are your high Vive activities,
21:24
love compassion, passion. And doing more of those, and for me,
21:30
I was feeling those all over the place, because here are monkeys...
21:33
Oh, I love monkeys. Here are these crazy raccoon looking things,
21:37
koeman did that I didn't even know existed. Sea Turtles, it was just...
21:42
I was in list the whole time because of the animals in my
21:45
love for them. So wherever your passion is, it might be art,
21:50
it might be playing an instrument, it might be petting your cat,
21:54
whatever makes your heart sing, do more of that, and that's what gets
21:58
you to a place where you can hear your intuition really reconnect sometimes,
22:03
people need to step back even further though, because I've had so many
22:07
conversations with people who believe that that is what they need to do,
22:12
but they don't even know what makes their heart sing, what they enjoy
22:17
doing anymore, they're so far removed from anything that
22:22
feels joyous to them, they have to step back and re discover what
22:27
is it? That's exactly what I did. And
22:31
it takes practice, but you can definitely do it. Anyone can do it.
22:34
What you do first is you start to notice, when do I get
22:39
that feeling? And by that feeling, I mean that feeling like when you're
22:42
blowing the candles out on your birthday cake or your favorite team takes
22:46
the field or a singer or hits this impossibly high note and you
22:51
get goosebumps, goosebumps are a great indication, John A down like whatever
22:55
the heck, you're doing at that time. That's one of your high Vive
22:58
activities. Yeah, is paying attention to the energy that you're feeling...
23:03
Yeah, which comes right back to, what are you doing now?
23:07
When I eat at my mother's house and she makes BlackBerry cobbler,
23:12
dad has this organic Blackberry farm in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. It's so
23:17
yummy. It's almost like very season, I will find myself subconsciously humming
23:22
and it's not something I'm aware of, but now that I know,
23:26
Oh, that's a happy place for me, eating cobbler of my mom's table
23:31
in Kentucky, and so try to notice when you catch yourself subconsciously
23:37
humming, you might be going to the grocery store, but what exactly are
23:40
you doing? Is it a song you just listen to, and the more
23:43
you can start to refine it and keep little list now when you're
23:46
feeling off balance, God knows after the last year, we've had everybody
23:50
as a to go back and reference that list and practice some of
23:54
those things. That's such great advice, because like I said,
23:58
it's about tuning into what is it for you? And you mentioned a
24:03
little earlier that you can't sit cross like it and just be quiet,
24:07
'cause that doesn't work for... You need to be moving.
24:10
And when I do the meditations, there's always a meditation as a bonus
24:15
to the episode, to the interview episodes, it's about getting comfortable,
24:19
whether that's sitting, relying down or walking around, whatever works for
24:24
you. It's the same concept across the Poland, that's why your meditations
24:28
work for more people, because I think we're all absolutely different in
24:34
the way that we transpose the energy in our lives, but we are
24:39
all made of the same energy, so we have access equally to tap
24:43
into it, but we're gonna do it different ways because we're not all
24:46
exactly alike, right. That expression of energy is going to come out in
24:51
different ways, it is... It was also funny for me as a...
24:56
I'm a Certified Energy Manager and demand side manager, so I'm used to
25:00
working with engineers, very logic based people, and
25:04
like you were saying earlier, people think that you can't be logical and
25:09
spiritual, and in the jungle, it really became profound to me that they
25:15
are the exact same thing, that energy is the way to describe
25:20
how we're feeling, it's high vibes and low vibes, think about everything
25:23
in our language that talks about our condition of being electric.
25:28
She lit up when she came in the room... Wow, I was really
25:32
drained after he came in, or I'm spun up today, I'm off balance
25:37
with covid everything. So many things in our vocabulary are about the words
25:45
dealing with electricity, I'm transformed... You know. It goes on. So tell
25:50
us briefly, a little bit more about what you are doing.
25:53
And I wanted to mention your book too, because I did just start
25:56
reading it and you referenced it a couple of times already,
25:58
and it's called Trust your animal instinct. Right? It is trust your animal
26:03
instincts recharge your life and ignite your power, so it's about tapping
26:07
into your instincts, getting rid of your shorts and the pressures that are
26:12
holding you back, and then whatever you find once you tap in,
26:16
taking the risk to move forward with that and that is a huge
26:20
thing that holds people back, especially business people, are even in our
26:24
relationships, it doesn't have to be a business, we don't like to take
26:28
the risk, but it's really important that we do... Right. We don't wanna
26:31
take the risk because what if I get hurt? What if it doesn't
26:34
work out the way I would like it to, or I expect it
26:37
to? Or... Yeah. What if it hurts? I use the
26:42
old samurai warrior technique. They used to think about death before battle,
26:47
they would imagine that they die and they go through that process mentally
26:51
before they go into battle, so they're free to fight and be free
26:55
of that, and so I say If you have a decision and you're
26:59
weighing whether to take the risk or not ask yourself what is the
27:01
worst thing that happens? And if the answer is something that you still...
27:06
If you're still excited about going forward, then do it...
27:10
Stop thinking about it and just do it. And if you think the
27:13
worst thing that happens is I get fired and you're not willing to
27:16
take the risk, then don't know. I'd go so far to say,
27:20
if it doesn't result in physical death, do it right again.
27:26
What's the worst thing that could happen? Because you make a decision,
27:30
people get stuck on again, being afraid to make a decision,
27:34
but almost no decision, there are a couple of decisions that you could
27:38
make that are irreversible, but 99% of them are maybe not reversible,
27:45
isn't the right word, but changeable. You make a decision, it turns out
27:49
not to be what you are expecting, you make a different decision,
27:52
right, and you move in a different... Down a different path,
27:55
right? And that's so important, I call it...
27:58
If you de couple people's opinion from you, if you call it The
28:02
Show monster, all that pressure off and say, No, I'm not disappointing my
28:08
dad with the same disappointing the show monster or my boss or my
28:12
friend or whatever, and it gives you a different language in a different
28:15
way to process it... Yeah, what is the worst thing that happens?
28:20
You fail and you learn. The nose in life for me have been
28:24
equally important as the yeses, because you learn what doesn't work and
28:28
you just go faster, you have To... And you use the word fail,
28:33
and I would challenge that in terms of... Well, first of all,
28:37
redefining what is failure, it's just getting to an outcome that wasn't
28:41
what you wanted or expected, but it's not a judgment, it's...
28:46
Yeah, I totally agree. And redefining success in addition to failure,
28:51
this mass exodus of people from the workplace that we're seeing now because
28:56
people are burnt out, they don't wanna go back to the same
28:59
hour long commute to sit in a concrete box all day,
29:02
and you know what they have redefined success and success is about a
29:07
balance, successes about connection, and it's about well being, so somewhat
29:12
with your job, find something that you love, redefining what... Again,
29:16
what is success for you? Because it's gonna look different for you,
29:20
then it looks for me, then it looks for
29:23
17 other people, everybody has to define it for herself himself,
29:28
and once you do that, and you kinda have this freedom to
29:33
say, live your purpose... Purpose is such a big thing. People are always
29:37
looking for What is my life purpose? And that seems so
29:40
daunting, but Finding, again, finding the thing that lights you up,
29:45
to use an energy term. Yeah, and you know what, Laurie,
29:49
I like to say, find a little way point instead of going through
29:52
life on cruise control trying to find that perfect destination... What is
29:56
my purpose? Holes, tell me my life purpose it... I can tell you
30:01
my purpose changes three times before breakfast in the morning, and so find
30:05
a way point that makes you feel a little better, so maybe you
30:10
hate your job today, but you really like mentoring the girl that sits
30:14
across the pipe from you, then start mentoring her once a week,
30:19
and then maybe twice a week, and then ask your boss if you
30:21
can mentor others, you see what I'm saying, find these ways that make
30:25
you happy and to start adding more of them into your life,
30:29
and what you see happening is you'll see, this purposeful transformation,
30:33
you're gonna be going from miserable to at least doing more things you
30:37
like and more things you'd like, and over time you'll find yourself in
30:40
that state where, Hey, I'm in touch with my intuition, I'm going places,
30:45
and I'm embracing the journey that's such a fantastic place to
30:49
stop here, but before we actually stop recording, I gotta ask you about
30:55
the hype on... That's the song that chart... We'll continue with the energy,
31:00
what's the song that charges you up when you need... An extra boost
31:04
of energy. My song would be, I get knocked down, but I get
31:09
up again. You know, like that's me, and that's what we're talking about,
31:13
jumbo. Gonna go, Yeah, but just get up and find another way point
31:19
and just go a little distance further, quit trying to figure out your
31:22
whole life, it's just gonna stress you out. Just go a little further
31:25
in a direction that makes you happy. How can my listeners get in
31:29
touch with you if they want to get a copy of the book,
31:32
reach out to you, find out more about what you're doing,
31:36
you connect with you about your journey. I am all over social media,
31:41
Tabitha a Scott, you can go to powering, potential dot com.
31:46
