One gift that came with Dr. Venus living life on the streets was seeing that time and time again, she could create and provide for herself no matter the circumstance. She realized in this time of uncertainty that it is normal to feel a number of emotions, mastering the knowledge of this gift can help lift us out of the frustration and feelings of powerlessness. This week she takes a deep dive into how we can create a crisis bigger than our current limitations and rise up to meet an even bigger and better moment. She shares her own personal created crisis that helped her see that our truth is one truth, but not the truth.
Key Takeaways:
[2:41] An inherited crisis is one you don't choose or create, and it often has a flavor that makes it heavy and joyless. Examples of an inherited crisis would be having to pay taxes, or "inheriting" an annoying mother in law! The created crisis is a gift you give to yourself and may seem overwhelming but serves to pull you away from the stresses in front of you to something more aligned with your higher vision.
[8:04] Dr. Venus shares a story about learning French in a fun and creative way, despite that a teacher doubted her competence to ever excel in the language. This gave her the confidence and courage to move forward with a dissertation that showed her she could produce in her own way and fearlessly put her own voice out into the world.
[9:26] Dr. Venus created a crisis that inspired her and gave her life when she asked both her Nana and Momma to be at her graduation. Calling her mom to invite her was one of the biggest steps (and most terrifying calls) in her entire life.
[19:37] We can let people have their truth without imposing our will on them. Dr. Venus reminds us that people tell themselves things so they can survive themselves, even the people who have wounded you in the past.
[20:46] When we create a crisis that dispels our current worries and pushes us forward towards truth and manifesting greatness, we become the author of our life rather than the victim.
[23:20] Your truth is a truth, not the truth. Knowing this and seeing the power of this statement will give you more grace for others.
[24:20] Create a crisis so big it will require you to be brave instead of petty.
[25:49] Dr. Venus is thrilled to announce her new series on Amazon, "Hot Mess Millionaire". She is beyond excited and inspired by what this series will bring to the world.
[32:02] Success is taking destiny driven actions until you reach your dreams. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
