Hello, radiant Souls, and welcome back to another episode of Unleash your Inner Radiance. I'm your host, lisa, your Catalyst, life Coach and author and podcaster and real estate agent in the state of Minnesota, and I am here to guide you on this journey of self-discovery, empowerment and transformation. Today's episode is all about drawing that line in the sand, stepping up in the face of fear and standing up for yourself and what you believe in. It's about deciding what you're worth, knowing what you want out of life and going after it with everything you've got. This is your moment to claim your power to create the life you desire, so let's go get it. Let's start by talking about what it means to draw a line in the sand. This phrase is powerful because it signifies a point of no return, a moment where you decide that enough is enough. It's where you stand up and say this is who I am, this is what I want and I won't settle for less. But here's the thinging that line in the sand isn't always easy. It can be very scary because it often means stepping into the unknown, facing your fears and challenging the status quo. Whether it's in your career, in your relationships or personal growth, it requires courage to stand firm in your worth and your vision for your life. So ask yourself this where am I holding myself back? What fears or doubts are keeping me from stepping into my full potential? Maybe it's the fear of failure, fear of judgment, or even the fear of success. Whatever it is, recognize it as the first step to overcoming it, right? So take me, for instance.

Speaker 1: 3:00

Here's my story. I was asked to write a chapter in a book, right? So I wrote a chapter. I co-authored a book with 24 other women. It's called Unstoppable, volume four. The book comes out next week. It is the powerhouse edition and trust me when I say I had visions of failure. I have visions of judgment and I also have fear of success. I have all those things. Even every time I do a podcast episode, I have those feelings. But in writing this book, I was using it as a source to heal and it was a journey and it took a lot and it took me sending it in for somebody to look at it before I even told anybody that I wrote it, because I felt that fear of rejection or feel of failure and I just didn't want that. I didn't want anybody to judge me, but I just drew the line in the sand and said you know what? This has been my dream for three years at least. This is my opportunity. You know what? I'm going to tell my story with 24 other women who all have chapters in the same book. It comes out on the 22nd and I it was the best decision I made. I don't know where it's going to take me or what it's going to do, but it's amazing.

Speaker 1: 5:00

So, now that we have acknowledged the fears that can hold us back, let's talk about the gaps that may be standing between where you are and where you want to be. Where you are and where you want to be, because it's these gaps that could be. They could be in your mind, they could be in your energy, they could be in your skills. So let's talk about mind, your mindset. Are you holding limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in the same patterns? Maybe you believe you're not good enough, smart enough or deserving of success? These thoughts can be very powerful blockers to your progress. Trust me, I know because I experienced all of them.

Speaker 1: 5:52

Your energy Do you know that we're all energy? Do you have that friend who just has the best energy? And when she walks in or he walks into a room, you're just like wow, and they kind of sprinkle their energy to everybody else. That's the kind of energy you need to have. So how are you managing your energy? Are you investing it, investing in things that truly matter to you, or are you draining it on distractions and negativity? And I know that is very easy to do with all the negativity and distractions and stuff in the world. But your energy is very precious and it's a very precious resource, so please use it wisely.

Speaker 1: 6:42

Skills let's talk about those Skills. Are there areas where you need to level up, whether it's learning new techniques, gaining knowledge or developing new skill set, because investing in yourself is the key to closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. It's reading those 10 pages a day. If you add up, if you actually read 10 pages a day, do you know how many books you'd read in a year? You should figure that out, because it's pretty impressive. But I want you to ask yourself these questions right now what gaps are holding me back and, more importantly, what training or development can I do around those gaps? I had to do some training. I had to do some learning. I had to read a little bit, do a brain dump just to get my confidence up to write my chapter.

Speaker 1: 8:01

Let's talk about creating your vision, because I had a vision for writing a book, but I'll start with a chapter. I had a vision for doing that too. Small steps, right? So once you identified your fears and your gaps, it's time to create your vision. What does your ideal life look like? And let's just say five years, because in five years I want to retire or I want to have a successful business. Then I'll hold off retiring.

Speaker 1: 8:34

What is your five-year vision? What does your ideal life look like in five years? Because this isn't about dreaming. It's about setting clear, tangible goals that you can work toward every single day so that in five years, if you're ready to retire, you can retire. If you're ready to travel, you can travel. So what is your vision? Picture it in detail. I mean, I mean, and in detail, like when you write what you want to be doing in five years. Right, I'm up at 5am, I'm doing my brain dump, I'm exercising, I'm meditating, I'm brushing my teeth, I'm drinking coffee on my patio, you know, because your dream life is going to include some stuff that you do now, because you are going to brush your teeth and you are going to shower in your dream life. Right, but literally, what does your life look like? Because it isn't just about dreaming. You need to set clear, tangible goals that you can work towards, and when I say pictured in detail, I mean it. Where are you living? What does your day-to-day life look like? Are you traveling, exploring new places, meeting new people? Are you running a successful business? Or maybe you're leading a life of freedom and creativity? Whatever it is, visualize it as if it's actually happening for you. That's why I say add all the details literally all the details of a day, because a lot of them aren't going to change.

Speaker 1: 10:27

Your vision is your roadmap. It's what guides you. It's what guides your decisions, your actions and your mindset. It's the reason that you draw the line in the sand and refuse to settle for anything less than what you deserve. Keep this vision at the forefront of your mind and fuel your journey.

Speaker 1: 10:52

So, with your vision in place, let's talk about the power of manifestation. Your thoughts, your beliefs and your actions all play a crucial role in bringing your vision to life. This is where your mindset and your energy and your skills all come together. So, with your mind, your thoughts shape your reality. So keep your mindset positive, focused and aligned with your vision.

Speaker 1: 11:27

Challenge any limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering ones. Write them down on a piece of paper. Write down the things that you say to yourself, that you wouldn't say to your friends, and make those positive. And then read those positive things to yourself, because your mind doesn't know any different. Your mind knows that you talk negatively. Now let's show your mind that you talk positively and remember that you are worthy of the life that you dream of.

Speaker 1: 12:00

Direct your energy towards your goals, because we talked about energy. Energy is so important. Surround yourself with positivity, invest in activities that move you closer to your vision and protect your energy from negativity and distractions. Journey right now with our country, with the election year, with everything that's going on the division, everything that's going on and it is so distracting, but try as hard as you can to not let it lower your energy. Continue to grow and develop your energy. Continue to grow and develop your skills.

Speaker 1: 12:53

Read 10 pages a day, because the more you invest in yourself, the more you expand your capacity to achieve your dreams. Take courses, read books, read 10 pages, seek mentors, seek coaches. Do whatever it takes to close those gaps. So ask yourself this what does my life look like in five years? What are the dreams on my vision board and, most importantly, what am I doing today to make those dreams a reality? You see, drawing a line in the sand is about making a decision to step into your power and go after the life you truly desire. It's about acknowledging your fears, identifying the gaps and taking actionable steps to bridge them. Your vision for your life is the guiding light that will keep you focused, motivated and on track. So I challenge you to take a moment and reflect. Where am I holding myself back? What gaps do I need to address? What is my vision and how can I start manifesting it right now? Can I start manifesting it right now? Remember, you are capable of incredible things. You have the power to create the life that you want, but it starts with drawing that line, standing up for yourself and taking action. That's what it takes.
