Good morning, my friend. And welcome back to the living in sunshine podcast. My name is Maddie fry in case you are new here I am the voice Hi girl human, overly caffeinated, overstimulated sometimes overwhelmed voice behind this podcast. In this space, we are all about helping you learn intentional things that you can do to purposely pursue joy every freaking day of the week of your life. That way, when you wake up in the morning, you are not only excited and ready to go but you are also so obsessed with the life that you're living that you cannot shut up about it when somebody says how's it hurting guy right now, you just like riff for five minutes about how amazing your life is. That is the purpose of the show. So for today's brand new episode, we are going to be giving you some hype HIePRO chats are some of my favorites to do because these are small little nuggets, gold nuggets for your mid week for you to take and like get after it as soon as you're done listening. And today, I am giving you something that's been on my heart and on my head for like the last week, and hopefully a word of hope and encouragement for you to keep moving forward. And you actually go after the thing that you've been wanting to go after. So for a little bit of context, there have been some pretty major shifts within my own personal life behind the scenes. And whether you believe it or not, I actually don't post my entire life online. I know at one point in time, I was like always on stories all the time telling you all the things, that is not the case anymore. And so there are lots of things happening behind the scenes in my life right now. And something that has been kind of coming back to my brain over and over and over. Some people might call it God. Some people might call it the universe. Some people might call it you know, Yoda whatever the force is this idea that sometimes life packages up really amazing potentials. In really tough and hard to manage situations, right? Sometimes life gives us new opportunities that are disguised as a setback. And what we need to do is to really dig into what the situation what the quote unquote setback, what the lesson is that life is giving us. What does it teaching us? What is it telling us? What is it? What is it proposing to us? What opportunity? Can we look through the weeds of the overwhelm, or the shock or the the just surprise of this thing happening? Whatever it might be? When we look through the weeds when we take a second to slow down and really process? What can we see on the other side, right? Because more often than not some of our greatest setbacks, create our biggest celebrations and our biggest wins and our biggest successes. And I want you to hear that right now is the best time to go for it. Whatever it is that you want, whatever it is that you've been dreaming of whatever it is you've been working towards, go for it. Full throttle, and don't take your foot off the gas. Right now, today is the best time for you to say, I'm fucking in this, and I'm going for this and I will make this happen. I don't know how I don't know how soon. I don't know what I need to learn or what I need to gain or what I need to accomplish. But I will make this happen. And I will see this setback that I'm experiencing this tough season this this hardship in my life as a way to learn something new, and to finally go after the thing that I've been wanting to go after. Right? Because again, we sometimes have setbacks. But if we flip the script, and we see those as a new opportunity to grow or connect or build new relationships, or try something new, you can grow and learn and do so much cool stuff, just by flipping the script. And I want to tell you, I want to remind I change you to always be a learner. Never stop learning. People ask me all the time, how are you always doing something new, you're always doing all of these different things. The answer to that is I never stopped learning. And I never stop going after things in the mindset of a learner. In the mindset of, I have no idea what I'm doing. But I'm just gonna try figure it out as best as I can along the way. And don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean that things always go the way that I think they're gonna go. I have started and stopped and quit and sold and done all the things with multiple businesses, jobs, relationships, communities, all these things. There has been highs and lows to being a learner. But the thing that I love the most about that process is I've done some really cool stuff in my life that other people will never do. Because they're aren't willing to change their point of view. They're unwilling to be a learner. And so as life gives you setbacks, as you face some tough seasons, because we all always do, I want you to remind yourself to take a step back and be curious, and look through the weeds and say, what opportunity Am I being proposed to right now? Like, what what's being posted me right now, in this moment, I just lost my job. My husband just told me he's cheating on me. My kid just got diagnosed with something, I was told by my doctor that I'm gonna have to lose 50 pounds. If I want to have a baby, I just lost my job, whatever it might be, right? My client just fired me whatever it might be just lost my house. What is life proposing to you? In this moment? What can you learn? Where can you grow? What new opportunity? Can you say yes to in this moment. And when you figure that out, I want you to know that the best time to go after it is right now, whatever the opportunity that you have focused in on you have been presented with, go for it. Don't wait, there is no better time than right now to go for it. Go for it scared, go for it overwhelmed, go for it without having all the answers. Because along the way, you will learn and you will grow to be the person that can do it. And that will do it. And when you get to the other side, you're gonna turn it on, you're gonna look at yourself, you're gonna say, I'm so proud that she showed up for herself. And I'm so proud. She showed up for me, because now I'm in this space that I'm in right now. Because she did it scared. And she did it overwhelmed. And she did it without having all the answers. But damn, what a journey it was on. And Damn, what a journey I just went on. Right? That's what I want for you. That's how you design and live a life that you're so obsessed with, by going for it. By always being learner. And by not always seeing your setbacks as setbacks, but as set ups, for success, for new connection, for growth, for new discoveries. That's what I want for you. And that's my hope for this episode today that you take this, and you go after whatever it is that you want to go after. And know that I am always in your corner as you do so. Right? Send me a message on Instagram, let's chat about it. And like let's actually frickin go for it and just go on this journey of figuring life out as we go together. Okay, whatever it is that you are going after my friend, I hope that you go after it.
