Join Mighty Pete for this vulnerable and honest discussion with the Liz Rutledge about mindfulness, success, and achieving one’s dreams. Liz is open about how she’s spent her entire life “following breadcrumbs” from one interest to another (for instance, when she was younger, she didn’t think she would have children, now she has three) but has built a purposeful life just the same. Having just turned 50, she thinks it’s been her best year yet in terms of self-knowledge and understanding. One of Liz’s passions in life is mentoring school-aged children as a mindfulness teacher, and she also is a proponent of living as lightly on the earth as possible to make the biggest impact on climate change. She lives her life by example, filling it with love, presence, and service.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Just because you’re on the right path, or doing what you’ve already dreamed of, doesn’t mean you won’t have moments of self-doubt.
A lot of the public dialogue around any issue seems quite black and white, because polarization drives profits. If we try to see all sides of an issue it can strengthen our sense of compassion.
A benefit of getting older is an understanding of what our true core values are, letting go of any self-consciousness about how we present in the world, and streamline our lives so we can live as aligned to our values as possible.
Writing down our goals helps to manifest them. Part of Liz’s daily practice is to write her 17 goals and dreams down every morning, and then letting go of the process. The writing down helps to keep her spiritual energy focused.
BEST MOMENTS
“When we’re kind to others we get a little kickback of that kindness, because it feels good to do good.”
“Every day I choose to be a wife and a mom. Every day I choose to continue to encourage people to be more caring about themselves and the planet. And there’s power in that – recognizing the power of choice. It isn’t always easy, but whether we’re fated or not, I think we do have some control over our path.”
“Getting out of our comfort zone, getting out of our home country, helps us understand others better.”
“It’s not necessarily about how you make your dream come true, if you still make your dream come true, it still happened.”
