Latest / The MysticWithin Podcast / Ep. 7: The Audacity to Believe in Yourself
Transcript
- Vanessa: Why do we call ourselves delusional when we begin to finally believe in ourselves? When did having big dreams become so unrealistic for us? Or why do we even feel crazy for thinking them in the first place? On the flip side, why do we take our negative thoughts as absolute truths? when did our thoughts become so biased in keeping us small? even though we know we're meant to be living a larger life. But I have great news. I'm here to help tip the scales of your mind so you can begin believing in yourself and stop overvaluing these thoughts that are trying to keep you small and hold you back from what you know is meant for you. Today we are diving in to the power of believing in yourself, why having the audacity is half of the equation, and why intuitive women do not need to ask permission to go after the dreams that they have. For far too long, women have been looking outside of themselves to gain clarity on their dreams. But I'm here to tell you that looking for external validation and permission to actually begin your dream life is stifling your power and stopping you from getting everything you want. After today's episode, you're gonna look in the mirror and realize the only person you need permission from is the woman staring back at you. My name's Vanessa, and this is the Mystic Within Podcast, a podcast designed for women reconnecting with their power, their purpose, and their intuition. One honest conversation at a time. Let's get into this big topic today. Believing in yourself is the first and essential step into living the life of your dreams. We first have to believe that success is inevitable for us to bring anything into fruition. That is the foundation of your dreams. When you have a vision or a dream, it exists outside of what we're seeing every day. It exists in our souls, in our spirits, in our intuition. It is alive. But when we tell ourselves and we believe it is possible for us, you're giving that dream roots in the physical reality. You are affirming it to be true. with those roots, your dreams can grow. The thing about a foundation, say a foundation of a house, for example, that is concrete. It is the most solid part of the home because anything that happens on top of it has to be withstood from the foundations. This is the exact same theory that we can apply to your dreams. The foundation of your dream, your belief in yourself, has to be the strongest. And that can only be done when you are equally as rooted in that vision. You can't have one foot in and one foot out of the vision or dream. You need to be a hundred percent solid and unshakable in it. You need to know a hundred percent this is possible for you. You have to be all in. That doesn't mean you can't have doubts or fears throughout this process of getting everything you want. That's just human. Believing in yourself, in your vision, in your dreams, in whatever you're trying to bring into the physical reality. That needs to be more powerful than the stories that you've believed about yourself thus far, about the limiting qualities that you feel like you You need to believe in your dream more than you believe in the invisible cage you've put yourself in. Courage is another essential element of this equation in getting everything you want. you will 100% face fears and limiting beliefs when you're going after your dreams. That's just natural and human because we're trying to draw ourselves back into a comfortable space, saying that's not safe there. We don't know the unknown. We don't know what goes on in that path, even though it's the path to getting everything you want, right? Getting what you want usually entails doing things that you've never done before. That's how you're going to get another outcome or a new outcome in this world. the belief in oneself comes when you are so rooted in the possibility of this vision coming into reality, this dream actually being possible. but when you feel it in your heart. You can see it. You know there's something about it that you should be chasing or going after. That is when you become powerful. When you know, you know what, this might be challenging, but I'm totally capable of doing this. I'm doing it. I'm gonna learn. I'm gonna go after it. That's when things start to shake up in your world. When you have the courage, when you take that chance to believe in yourself. That is powerful. I want you to think of all of the negative thoughts that you tell yourself or the limiting stories that hold you back from being who you want to be, living the life you want to have. Why are those considered more true than the thoughts of you believing in yourself or knowing you can do it? Because thoughts are all neutral. We just place the value upon them. Why do we so easily believe in our negative thoughts and call our hopeful ones delusional? I'm gonna tell you why. Because negative thoughts are easy. They are easy. They hit low. It's low blows because they hit the wounds within us that are already vulnerable. It's easy to believe that you're not good enough if you've never felt like you do things right. That's an easy thought to believe. When you finally take control of those negative thoughts, it is something that shakes your whole being. And that's incredible. That's why I preach, challenge these thoughts, take the power back from them. Believing in yourself with no physical evidence, especially when it's something that's far out of your comfort zone, can be challenging. You are trusting in yourself, having faith in something unseen. We blindly trust so many feelings that we have and use them as evidence on why we can or cannot do something, usually from past experiences, fear, thoughts that we have about ourselves. They feel so influential. But why don't we feel the same about our intuition when it tells us to take a chance? Why is that feeling not seen as just as powerful as a fear-based thought? If you're right now at a nine to five in a cubicle and you have a vision and a thought, 100% you know that you're meant to be, I don't know, a nanny in France. Let's say that. You know 100% you're meant to live abroad. Why why is that thought so much scarier? Well, it challenges everything. It challenges your sense of security and stability. It challenges everything you've probably been doing up until now. It's so outside of the normal for you. Yeah, but doesn't it kind of excite you? Hmm. Isn't it kind of interesting to think like what happens if you do do that? What's gonna happen? That's the unknown path, right? That's hard to fully root in because it feels like you're putting roots nowhere. You're putting roots in a dream that doesn't exist. But what you're doing is you're rooting deeper into your power, into yourself. You're not putting roots nowhere. You're putting the power back to your being, to your soul. You're honoring a part of yourself. The difference about what an intuition feeling is is that it asks a question to us. Will you take the risk to walk the unseen? And then it states, just trust me. And that's pretty scary. But it is also a thousand percent worth it because your intuition isn't steering you wrong ever. You might not be able to see, but that is where the belief and the trust that you will be able to figure it out along the way is coming in. And that's how you get the ball rolling in your dream life. We often wait for permission or evidence to come in to go after what we want, but that isn't how the energy of the universe works. The universe doesn't wait for you to prove yourself. What it's doing is it's waiting for you to actually finally believe in yourself. And when you do, that's when the magic flows into your life and through your life, and it touches every corner of the experience you're having. Everything is divinely guided at that point. And that's why you have to just trust and let go and just believe that you're going to be able to figure it out and deal with it and roll with the punches and go over the fears because you're so rooted in that intuition, in that feeling, in that belief that you can do it. And that is so powerful. You become truly untouchable at that point. This is again when courage comes into play. When you challenge the fear-based thought of your world, that's when you begin to break free. If fears can't touch you, then what can? What can shake you? That's when you reclaim the power back from that thought. When you finally stand up to these fears and you flip these negative thoughts on its head, the universe is like, yep, this person's ready for their dream life. They're ready. Because that's exactly what you're going to be doing on the path to your dream life. There will be lots of fears. Again, it's going to be riddled with fear. Because the path to your dream life is riddled with fear and elevation. You are going to be forced to grow. You're going to be forced to stare at these fears. You're going to be forced to look at the challenges in front of you and still persevere. That is hard. That is hard, especially when you've been in a stuck loop or you feel like you have nothing. In those moments, when you are faced with the challenges and fears, you quite literally are choosing to elevate your spirit in those moments. When you face a fear and you just say, I'm gonna do it scared. I believe that I'm gonna be capable of dealing with whatever comes after this. You are expanding your spirit, that energy that radiates off of you. You're literally becoming bigger energetically, you're taking up more space, you're able to handle things better. That Is so powerful. It's such a powerful expression of your soul and what you are capable of. And you prove something to yourself. You actively say, I can do it. courage and having the audacity will get you incredibly far in this universe, both in the physical world and in the energetic realm that we exist in. And this brings me to having the audacity. What does audacity really translate to? It translates to watch this. Watch me do it. Nothing's out of this realm of possibility to me. I'm dreaming big, and what are you gonna say about it? That is really what audacity is. It's the perseverance of something bigger and unseen. It's the audacity to believe in yourself, the audacity to think you could do it. The audacity to think you could live your dream life, the audacity that you have everything you want. People who are stuck in a limiting cycle loop hate when people have the audacity. And it's kind of funny. I don't wish it upon them, but it's kind of funny to watch because when you're living in your truth and this authenticity and this pure, strong, foundational belief in yourself, that can be very threatening to people who are not. What they don't realize is that audacity is not a limited resource. It's an infinite resource that everybody can tap into. having the audacity to not only go after your dreams, but achieve them is threatening to someone who wants to do the same thing, but is stuck in fear. And that's why I don't think it's that funny. I think it's more funny what people think they can poke and prod at to try to dismantle your belief. it comes from a sense of lack. And these people will try to poke holes in the foundation of the belief you have made for yourself. And that's why it's important to become unwavering with the belief in what you want, in your belief that you can do it. Because it is completely fortified by your dream, the foundation of your belief. People will try to shake you off your pedestal that you've put upon yourself, you've jumped on. And as you should. This is your dream life. You need to have that. You need to believe deeply. You need to be able to persevere when people are telling you you can't do it. You need to be the voice that's louder that says, I can. I actually can. I'm going, I'm actually doing it right now. So you'll have to watch this. You'll have to watch this. Wish you the best. Hope you can too. Wake up. Wake up to your potential, hon. The universe is not on a budget, so having the audacity to dream huge is possible. When you think of your dream life and you think of that one thing that you're like, I couldn't do that, or you think of an amount of money, and you just start like awkwardly snickering, like, my god, no, I could never, that's where you have the audacity. That's exactly where you have the audacity. I want that to be the dream for you. This sense of expansion and dreaming outside of the invisible restraints you've placed upon yourself. The universe is going to meet you at your own audacity. It's up to you if you have the courage to dream that big in the first place, because nothing's out of reach. You need to stop putting limits on what you can or cannot do, Specifically when you haven't even tried to go after it. The universe is going to move mountains for you to get what you want. But if you don't believe it first, then why is the universe gonna bother? That's what you have to do. You have to be so rooted in what you want, in the belief that you can have it, that the universe is like, I'm helping. I'm doing this. I'm supporting it. It really is about dreaming without fear or boundaries. Because those are all restrictions as well. Dreams are meant to be wild and fantastical and miraculous and magical, but never impossible. It's always within reach for what we want in our lives. you're seeing a vision for a reason. Why would you keep having the same vision over and over for what? For no reason? I don't believe that. That's our intuition saying that we're meant to be doing this. We're meant to be doing it. If you are an intuitive woman, the vision comes from somewhere so deep and primal in your being. Your soul knows the way, and you are just meant to follow it day by day, your intuition day by day. But we live in a hyper world that wants us to know all the information before we make a move. That's not how you get what you want, especially as a woman who is rooted in divinity. Into the divine feminine energy. How this works is you make the moves and the universe is drawn to it. And the universe is going to help you along the way and show you the path. But you make the first moves based off what your intuition is saying to you. You're never going to get what you want waiting around. That's just not how this works. You make the first move and your life changes. That's that's as simple as it gets. you can be scared, you can have doubts, but your courage and your belief in yourself have to override that. When you have the fear, you're able to say, I can do it, and I'm doing it. And the more you say that, the more natural it's going to feel and become. Your reason for following your intuition needs to be stronger than your fears. A woman's intuition is our power. So why do we keep looking outside of ourselves to gain answers that reside already within us? You will never get to where you need to go in an authentic, aligned, empowered way when you try to seek validation externally. You have the power to validate yourself. And that is it. That's it. You make the first move, the universe follows, and so will everybody else. Believing in yourself with unshakable faith means you are in the fast lane to getting everything you desire. There is nothing stopping you from achieving your dreams. Nothing at all. The universe is here to support us and help shape us into the person we're meant to be. It's only waiting for you to take the leap of faith towards your life that you know you want. That really is the key to it all. If you can believe in yourself, your vision, in your life, without being moved by external opinions and the need for validation from others, you are so much closer to living your dream life than you believe.
