When did we stop dreaming big, and who taught us what was supposedly impossible?
What if some of the limits we accept aren't reality at all, but conditioning we've never questioned?
In this week's Coffee Chat, I'm joined by Brice Watson from @EsotericAtlanta for a lively, funny and thought-provoking conversation about childhood dreams, human potential, personal freedom and the beliefs that shape what we think we're capable of.
We start with what we wanted to be when we grew up (including my rather ambitious plans to be an Olympic gymnast, Heidi AND a doctor!) and explore why so many adults struggle to answer a much simpler question: What do you want now?
Along the way, we discuss:
✔️ The difference between being realistic and being conditioned
✔️ How family, education, society and culture influence our expectations
✔️ Why convenience and technology might be changing our confidence, independence and resourcefulness
✔️ Ancient wisdom, mystical traditions, consciousness and the possibilities of human potential
✔️ Why knowing what's wrong with the world isn't the same as doing something about it
✔️ How we can redirect our attention towards solutions, creativity and practical action
✔️ What our ancestors, nature and children can teach us about resilience and possibility
We don't pretend to have all the answers, and we certainly don't agree with everything we explore. That's the point of these conversations: to question, consider different perspectives and perhaps discover a few possibilities we hadn't considered before.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!
Tell us in the comments:
1. What did you want to be when you were a child?
2. What would you love to do now if you stopped worrying about whether it was realistic?
3. What's ONE step you could take towards that possibility?
Let's have some fun with this. Dream big, question the limits and, most importantly, DO something with what you discover.
