Show Notes

Segment 1:

Sam kicks off the show reading an excerpt from his book Everyday Awakening. In the chapter, We Create Our Lives through Focus, Energy, and Decisions, Sam talks about the effects of blaming others for personal failures. He explains that we are the only ones responsible for the outcomes of our life. In order to embark on a fulfilling journey we have to credit ourselves for not only our accomplishments but also for the moments of poor judgment. Sam adds how we choose to focus and put order energy will determine the decisions we make in our lives. Before the break, Sam shares a personal experience of when he was searching for a college to attend. He mentions how much of an influence his teacher had on him and how Sam’s decisions to focus his energy on his teacher’s guidance led him to where he is today.

Segment 2:

Sam continues to discuss the power of owning your decisions. He shares ways to make better decisions by being in tune with yourself. Sam explains ways our body communicates with us when we make decisions. When you are offered an opportunity does it make you feel like something is growing or expanding inside of you? Do you feel like you’re constricted or shrinking from it? These are different ways our body is trying to tell us how to feel in the moment. Sam also talks about how we show up in the world; says a lot about our outcomes. Our actions matter because the universe responds to our energy. Before the break, Sam gives us a new perspective on how to look at life. Maybe life is being lived through us as opposed to us living life. It doesn’t have to be about creating the life you want but allowing the life that wants to live through us come alive.

Segment 3:

What if everything in our life happens for a reason? Sam gives insight on accepting that everything in our life, the accomplishments and the painful challenges, is supposed to be there to create a path of opportunity. Sam shares a personal experience from 2010, where his longtime friend committed sucicide. Sam talks about the guilt he felt for not being able to help in time but comes to the conclusion that maybe, heartbreaking in all, the universe wanted those events to transpire to evolve and grow as an individual. Before the break, Sam informs his audience that life is beautiful as it is. Maybe the imperfections are part of the perfection.

Segment 4:

In the last segment of the year, Sam continues his discussion on life being perfect as it is. Happiness can’t be defined by your next accomplishment, it’s living in the moment that really makes us happy. Any day above ground is a good day, says Sam. He talks about having power to make your own choices and being in charge of your life. Before the end of the segment, Sam thanks the audience for the wonderful year. He informs everyone that Talk Radio will go dark until January 2022. He leaves us a message to live the life you want.

00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:50.670 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: My God what a year, this has been really incredible, of course, as usual, we take the last two weeks of the year off.

00:00:51.330 --> 00:01:06.540 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: that's my time to chill relax have a vacation and I hope Vo regardless I know a lot of people are in some difficult situations, but I hope you find a way that takes some time in these last two weeks of the year.

00:01:06.990 --> 00:01:18.630 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: To do a little self care to find some peace in your own heart to really be with yourself, I hope you had a chance to catch last week's show had a wonderful guest on.

00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:33.180 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: None dormitory he was a wonderful meditation teacher originally from minima and now living in Zurich Switzerland really a great conversation if you missed it please, please catch it on the replay.

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.360 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So today it's just you and me, I just thought from the last show of the year.

00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:56.820 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Probably would be a good time for just the two of us to have a conversation and our show today is all about creating the LIFE you want, and it just so happens, this is what our topic is of my little section from, of course, my book, everyday awakening.

00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:06.750 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And so, this section is called we create our lives through our focus energy and decisions.

00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:30.000 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So here we go taking responsibility for our lives is not easy, it means accepting that we create all the good stuff and all the bad stuff in our lives, it means there is no one else to blame for our situation, yet it also means that we are empowered to create something different.

00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:43.530 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Often we fall into the trap of making excuses and blaming others for where we are in life, blaming our parents our teachers our coaches or our bosses or our lovers.

00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:49.710 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We may feel sad or angry or upset because of what someone else has done.

00:02:50.820 --> 00:03:02.850 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Or we think we cannot do what we truly want because of our responsibilities to others, yet who agreed to those to be in those situations, to begin with.

00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:04.470 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We did.

00:03:05.790 --> 00:03:22.440 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: How we come to our choices and decisions may go far back, perhaps a decision, we made in school had far reaching effects on our life at the time we had no clue have that one little choice would send us in a totally different trajectory.

00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:31.950 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Yet, step by step, we move toward one thing or away from another until we arrived here.

00:03:32.880 --> 00:03:40.830 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The energy we put into each situation has consequences and moves us further towards or away from where we want.

00:03:41.670 --> 00:04:00.540 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: As days and weeks and months pass we may forget our original choices years go by and instead of being in one place, we are in a completely different place so who is say that it's better or worse than someplace else.

00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:11.760 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Ultimately, all that we know is that it is a place of our own making it is a place formulated by our own choices.

00:04:12.420 --> 00:04:34.110 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: It is a situation that arises from the energy we have put out, which means we are responsible for where we are and what to do next about it, yet that means we have to take credit for all the bad, as well as all the good around us.

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:41.550 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Yes, that means we have created our lives to be exactly how they are at this moment.

00:04:42.900 --> 00:04:59.250 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The good news is that we can always learn to make different choices, as long as we are still breathing we have an opportunity to do something different, the real question is, what are we going to do with this power.

00:05:00.270 --> 00:05:13.080 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What are you going to create next in your life, what are you going to Where are you going to focus your energy what new decisions are you going to make.

00:05:14.490 --> 00:05:24.690 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So I wrote this a while ago, and this one is something that that's been percolating and i've been talking about this with coaching clients, for a long time now.

00:05:27.630 --> 00:05:28.770 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: about how.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:36.540 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Really, when we learn to take responsibility for everything in our life.

00:05:38.490 --> 00:05:44.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: it's a very empowering place to be, but so many people are resistant to it.

00:05:45.390 --> 00:05:49.230 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Because it's kind of scary to take responsibility for everything.

00:05:50.490 --> 00:05:58.410 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We all want to take responsibility for the good stuff oh yeah I created that yes, I built this successful business yeah I had this great of the successful relationship.

00:06:00.270 --> 00:06:10.530 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But we often don't want to take credit for all the failures suppose it failures i'm going to say for all the hard lessons we've learned for all the challenges we've had to face.

00:06:13.590 --> 00:06:18.330 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: It just doesn't sit well with us, because we have such a judgment around what happened.

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:28.650 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Oh no I didn't take response I know it wasn't my fault that I lost millions of dollars, it was that my partner who embezzled it from me, it was this one, it was that one.

00:06:31.170 --> 00:06:40.830 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And every time we blame someone else for where we are in life, we give our power away to that person.

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:51.030 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: It doesn't matter whether they're a spouse, partner, a lover a business partner, a sibling a parent.

00:06:54.150 --> 00:06:56.430 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The more we blame other people.

00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:02.280 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The more we say we're a victim and we're not a creator.

00:07:05.550 --> 00:07:08.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And as much as were able to say.

00:07:09.390 --> 00:07:20.460 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And I like to bring this down on a practical level, as much as we're able to say hey I created my life How did we, how do we create our lives right this whole show is about creating the LIFE you want, how do we create that.

00:07:21.930 --> 00:07:23.970 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: it's in the title of this section of my book.

00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:27.450 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Through our focus our energy and our decisions.

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.410 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What are we choosing to focus on any given moment.

00:07:32.700 --> 00:07:35.850 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Where are we putting our energy, how are we showing up.

00:07:37.260 --> 00:07:40.230 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And what kinds of decisions are we making because of that.

00:07:42.690 --> 00:07:49.230 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Now there's also a big key and i'm going to get to that a little bit later in the show that turns all this on its head.

00:07:50.640 --> 00:07:57.000 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And can help us to feel extremely much more empowered and to also feel better about our lives.

00:07:58.020 --> 00:08:00.120 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But I want to lay the foundation first.

00:08:01.350 --> 00:08:09.840 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And this section, you know i'm really talking about myself when I talk about how making decisions, and we have no idea how it ends up.

00:08:10.980 --> 00:08:17.340 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And i've often said, none of that said to different people individually and send in different seminars and workshops i've done.

00:08:18.420 --> 00:08:20.520 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: My own life is such an example of this.

00:08:21.870 --> 00:08:23.970 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Because I can trace things back.

00:08:25.470 --> 00:08:38.640 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And i'm sure it even goes further back than this, but there was one little decision I made it completely changed the course of my life, and that was very simply, what college, I was going to go to for my first year of college.

00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:52.470 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And you know it's interesting how we don't often realize, especially when we're so young, like how a little decision like that, and maybe it's not such a little decision.

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.170 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But how it has reverberation and repercussions throughout the rest of our life.

00:09:01.050 --> 00:09:14.310 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And indeed, why in person about the education wasn't about the fact that I mean I didn't even graduate from the College, I went to my first year I transferred out went to a different college and graduated somewhere else.

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:17.010 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: It was about the people that I met.

00:09:18.090 --> 00:09:24.480 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And it was about the long lasting impact that those situations and those relationships had on my life.

00:09:27.810 --> 00:09:44.760 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And indeed, if I had not and Just to give you a little more details about the story, I actually I applied to a bunch of colleges in New York state a lot of the the the State University colleges.

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:56.010 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Albany binghamton stony brook and I was actually really planning on going to stony brook as a matter of fact, I got the acceptance letter and I filled out the form.

00:09:57.060 --> 00:10:00.630 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And I just I didn't mail it the day I filled it out, I was going to mail it the next day.

00:10:01.800 --> 00:10:08.280 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And the reason I was going to go to stony brook is I really wanted to be a physics major they had a strong science department.

00:10:08.850 --> 00:10:22.980 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: and for me personally, what was important, is I knew a lot of people who were a year ahead of me in high school, who were seniors when I was a junior who ended up going to stony brook so I thought oh i'll go there at least know some people.

00:10:25.170 --> 00:10:30.240 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And then I get this letter from the school that I had visited in hoboken New Jersey Stevens tech.

00:10:31.020 --> 00:10:36.930 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: which I didn't even pay that much attention when I went there I had actually no real desire to go there, I was only.

00:10:37.470 --> 00:10:50.340 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: applied there to appease my mom because she being a schoolteacher some of the school teacher she taught with their husbands, there were two people actually whose husbands were professors at this that this school.

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.700 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So I thought okay what's the big deal i'll fly.

00:10:54.810 --> 00:11:15.090 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So the day I was going to mail back my acceptance to to stony brook I get this letter from Stephen saying oh we're giving you a partial grant we arrange a student loan so basically the you have no out of pocket expense, except for room and board for your first year of college.

00:11:16.950 --> 00:11:17.910 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And I was like.

00:11:19.530 --> 00:11:31.500 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And I was just like I can hear my mom's voice oh you can't not take this all this stone loan this grand scholarship you know how can you give up something so valuable.

00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:39.660 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And it really was torn about it, and then I went to to one of my teachers, Mr Lanka, who is my social studies teacher.

00:11:40.140 --> 00:11:50.640 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: In my senior year of high school and he was really the only teacher, I felt like I had a good relationship with he was funny I was engaging I really liked him.

00:11:51.300 --> 00:11:55.080 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: You know my my my sophomore and junior year I did lousy in social studies.

00:11:55.650 --> 00:12:08.610 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: My senior year was the only year I did well I gotta I don't know 90 something average mostly because of him because he motivated me by being who he was so I was motivated to really do well, and I said to Mr link oh it's like Mr Lincoln.

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:21.630 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I got an acceptance to stony brook and to Stevens I don't know which one to take to where to go and he'd like in without even giving it a second thought he said oh go to Stevens it's much better school much better school.

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:32.130 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And Stevens had a reputation for being a very good engineering school, but it had this reputation, in my opinion, for actually not a very good reason after I experienced this.

00:12:32.520 --> 00:12:39.660 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Because they'd let a whole bunch of people in, and then they would fail half of the freshman class and then, if the people came back to be sophomores.

00:12:39.930 --> 00:12:53.910 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: they'd fail more of them before they became juniors and then like a quarter of those people ended up graduating becoming seniors so because they had such a high attrition rate, so they had this good reputation among academia, but the truth is.

00:12:55.260 --> 00:13:00.240 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Now I have a different perspective it's like why let all these people in it was all a money making scheme.

00:13:01.410 --> 00:13:08.430 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: If I had never gone to Stevens, though, I never would have met the people who put me on my spiritual path to begin with.

00:13:09.450 --> 00:13:22.200 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And and and that year and the following 10 to 13 years completely changed the course of my life, not necessarily in a very good way but, but in a very profound way.

00:13:24.450 --> 00:13:25.290 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: However.

00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:29.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I decided, I was never going to regret that decision.

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:38.190 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Because of the things that happened afterwards, and indeed I my whole life changed because of that one decision now I didn't have to make that decision.

00:13:38.670 --> 00:13:56.970 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: In a way, I kind of gave my power away to my social studies teacher if i'd really chosen what I wanted my life would be completely different, however, can I say would be any better any worse, I have no clue I have no clue because i'd probably be someplace completely different.

00:13:59.010 --> 00:14:04.710 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So we're just beginning to get starting with it, this is this episode is all about.

00:14:05.550 --> 00:14:18.690 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Creating the life we want this section I was reading called we create our lives through our focus energy and decisions is in my book, everyday awakening which you can get of course at www dot everyday awakening book calm.

00:14:19.710 --> 00:14:26.730 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And when we come back, I will continue my story, and we will continue on about.

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:41.160 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: How else we create our lives and the secret sauce which isn't even in the section about really getting how juicy life is and and how.

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:50.940 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: being happy with life it's so much easier than we think so everyone, please stay tuned you're listening to the conscious consultant our awakening humanity, we do this.

00:14:51.270 --> 00:15:01.500 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: every Thursday 12 noon to 1pm Eastern right here on talk radio dot nyc and all over Facebook live and all over the podcasting platforms and we will be right back after this.

00:17:18.840 --> 00:17:26.040 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back to the conscious consultant our awakening humanity my last live show for.

00:17:27.810 --> 00:17:35.970 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I hope you all have enjoyed the shows throughout this year we've had some amazing guests touched upon a number of really important topics.

00:17:36.870 --> 00:17:54.150 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And today, I think probably you know, one of the most important ones, which is creating the life we want, and so I was reading the first section and talking about how we create our lives through our focus our energy and our decisions, I was focusing primarily on decisions.

00:17:55.350 --> 00:18:05.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: because to me it's like when you say Oh, we create the life through our energy and when they are energy, I mean by like how we're showing up what's the energy we bring into a room.

00:18:05.610 --> 00:18:12.570 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And what's the energy we bring into our life, sometimes that feels a little whoo whoo that people sometimes like oh I I don't know what you mean by that.

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:17.490 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But when I talk about how we create our lives through our decisions, people can relate to that.

00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:38.130 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Now, one of the key challenges is we think we make decisions rationally we totally do not we make decisions emotionally and I sort of gave the example of one little decision I made when I was 17 years old, about which college to go to had massive impact on the rest of my life.

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.310 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Now why did I make that decision.

00:18:42.930 --> 00:18:50.220 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I actually didn't make that decision very logically, I think I did know, I was making that decision to appease my mom ultimately.

00:18:53.370 --> 00:19:06.270 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And I have to own that decision, because it was my choice, it was my decision, I did not have to make that decision, I did not have to appeaser very easily could have said no i'm not going there i'm going to stony brook but I didn't.

00:19:08.190 --> 00:19:17.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And you know what has my mom used to say you can't cry over spilt milk, so I have to own that decision, so I do i've owned that decision every day since then.

00:19:18.750 --> 00:19:30.840 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And oftentimes I do think about I think about how would my life have been different meeting different people probably might not have been ever put on a spiritual path could be might not be the conscious consultant today.

00:19:32.070 --> 00:19:39.420 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: could be totally different would it be better, would it be worse, who knows, I really don't know, I have no clue.

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:48.210 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I like to say life often has a better imagination than I do so, trusting in life it's become a big big part of my life.

00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:57.810 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So, creating the life that we want, how do we create the life that we want to go through our decisions So how do we make better decisions.

00:19:58.830 --> 00:19:59.160 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: well.

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:03.660 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: As i've mentioned many times on the show.

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:10.680 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The part of us that we make decisions from.

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:20.460 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: You know our mind is really lousy and making decisions makes bad decisions all day long and never apologizes.

00:20:21.990 --> 00:20:25.620 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But when we make decisions from our heart, or rather from our gut.

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:39.090 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Actually, in scientists have found that the heart, has a whole neural network that God has a whole neural network or neurons and not just in our brain they're different kinds of neurons but there's a neural net elsewhere, our body is very, very intelligent.

00:20:40.230 --> 00:20:58.350 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: knew I had somebody one time tell me that we're splenetic beings meaning our spleen, which is in our gut is really a decision making device and how do you access your spleen to make decisions your spleen is that part of the body that's a very.

00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:02.430 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Basic very guttural very sort of.

00:21:03.450 --> 00:21:06.630 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Yes, and no sort of decision device uh huh.

00:21:07.830 --> 00:21:08.310 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: uh huh.

00:21:11.730 --> 00:21:19.350 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And if you can bring your decisions down to just a yes or no and uh huh or.

00:21:22.410 --> 00:21:25.290 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: That that is gold that really gives it to you.

00:21:26.850 --> 00:21:31.590 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Do I do this or do I do this, yes or no uh huh do I do that instead uh huh.

00:21:32.610 --> 00:21:38.100 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And if you get to know don't do either of them, then maybe there's another decision out there oftentimes we think.

00:21:38.610 --> 00:21:55.410 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We only have two choices when in fact we have multiple choices we have thousands of choices about just about everything just not necessarily the choices we'd like because we don't like the consequences of those choices, but they're still are choices.

00:22:00.540 --> 00:22:05.730 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So being rational being logical highly overrated now look.

00:22:06.510 --> 00:22:20.580 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: This is not to say we should ignore our mind, this is not to say we should ignore rationality and just be completely emotional actually i'm not even talking about being emotional talking to really tuning into the cells of our bodies.

00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:37.380 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: To me and uh huh uh yes to something is something that feels expansive you just feel into it does it feel like something that's growing that's bigger that's that that's more space more room to it.

00:22:38.970 --> 00:22:45.720 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Or do you feel some constriction do you feel tightness do you feel like like some shrinking from it.

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:54.060 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And if both choices give you a contract to feeling.

00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.260 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What choice would give you an expansive feeling.

00:22:59.310 --> 00:23:02.160 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: See the questions we ask so so important.

00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:09.540 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: If we can't find one that feels right then maybe we just need to ask ourselves what would feel right.

00:23:11.190 --> 00:23:15.810 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: They say yeah but Sam the solution that would feel right is one that I can't do.

00:23:17.760 --> 00:23:20.160 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Well, instead of saying it's the one you can't do.

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:26.670 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Maybe we need to ask how could we do it, how can it come about.

00:23:27.840 --> 00:23:36.000 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: How do we need to show up, and this is really the important one, how do we need to show up in order to cultivate even the possibility of.

00:23:39.810 --> 00:23:51.060 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Again, how we show up in the world determines a lot our actions, our energy the universe responds to that.

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:55.590 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: How we are being in the moment.

00:23:57.990 --> 00:24:09.360 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: For last week with with nadar we do talk to all about meditation and taking that time out so that you can be clean energetically, so that when you show up just taking that moment.

00:24:10.230 --> 00:24:21.540 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: For you enter into a situation, so you enter into it in a way that's empowered and fulfilling in their fields rate is so important.

00:24:25.080 --> 00:24:31.770 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: yeah how often do we do that how often do we give ourselves that space, so if you want to make better decisions in your life.

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:35.940 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Lots of space, who lots of space.

00:24:37.800 --> 00:24:47.400 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: From for me and things like knowing your human design knowing your astrological chart your numerology knowing all these different personality types and stuff.

00:24:49.320 --> 00:24:57.930 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: not to be confined by them, but kind of getting more insight in how you operate is always very helpful.

00:24:59.370 --> 00:25:07.860 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So that you operate from a more empowered place and something that the person who gave me my human design Stephen robledo who's been on my show a couple of times.

00:25:08.850 --> 00:25:16.680 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: something he said to me that very first session, he said, you know what in the moment you don't even know what you feel you're not even sure what is the right way.

00:25:17.040 --> 00:25:26.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The most important thing you can say, and when you're confronted with the choices, let me sleep on it, I need I need 24 hours, I need to sleep on I need to give it some time.

00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:43.470 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And when I give it some time then sort of the right choice begins to percolate up, then I start to feel into it then yeah that feels good or it doesn't feel good or I think it feels good no maybe I need some more clarity takes a little time.

00:25:46.830 --> 00:25:56.520 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So I think that's something that you know a lot of us can benefit from now, sometimes we don't have that luxury sometimes we do have to make a decision in that in this split second.

00:25:58.470 --> 00:26:08.370 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And sometimes when we make that decision in the blink of an eye when we do it really fast before we have a chance to think about it oftentimes not always but oftentimes those are the best decisions we make.

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:16.770 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So how do we create the life that we want.

00:26:18.090 --> 00:26:29.940 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: it's been making the decisions that we want by focusing on the things that we want it's by bringing our energy to the things that we want it's taking action towards the things that we want.

00:26:33.150 --> 00:26:37.020 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And being really clear, do you really want it or not, do we really want it.

00:26:38.790 --> 00:26:46.560 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Because when we really want something it's so interesting, we will move mountains, we will do whatever it takes to get there.

00:26:48.450 --> 00:26:57.720 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Many of you have heard me talk about becoming a facilitator that happened during this past year in the ceremonial work that I do, I really wanted that.

00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:00.570 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I showed up.

00:27:02.310 --> 00:27:08.640 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I put my time and I spent more time training than most people that I know.

00:27:10.170 --> 00:27:12.810 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And I would spend even more time if that's what it took.

00:27:14.760 --> 00:27:18.480 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Because it's something that I really wanted it called to me.

00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:27.570 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And sometimes we want something or something calls to us, we have no idea why.

00:27:29.130 --> 00:27:31.560 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And that's where the real magic of life comes in.

00:27:33.690 --> 00:27:38.700 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Know there's this important distinction that my dear friend Jennifer half brought to me.

00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:46.800 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: That, I think I kind of knew it unconsciously, but I never really thought of it and I never really give words to it.

00:27:48.090 --> 00:27:51.900 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: which talks about as opposed to us living life.

00:27:53.100 --> 00:27:56.550 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Its life being lived through us.

00:27:58.590 --> 00:28:00.660 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: how's that for a change of perspective.

00:28:02.910 --> 00:28:06.990 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's not about creating the life, you want to live.

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:15.690 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's about allowing the life that wants to be lived through you to come about.

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:20.670 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What if it's not about us.

00:28:21.780 --> 00:28:23.970 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What if it has nothing to do with us.

00:28:25.140 --> 00:28:30.960 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What if it's about what's being called up from some place deep within ourselves.

00:28:33.810 --> 00:28:35.820 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: That wants to come through us.

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.520 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Suddenly.

00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:41.400 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: that's a very different perspective.

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:43.440 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Suddenly.

00:28:45.630 --> 00:28:58.020 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: we're not the person to blame and we're not the person to take credit we're just a vessel we're just a vehicle we're just an opportunity for life to come through us.

00:28:59.280 --> 00:29:02.580 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: how's that for a different perspective on creating the LIFE you want.

00:29:03.870 --> 00:29:13.230 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: High halfway through the show we got to take a break, and I will give you an even another perspective to change things on its head.

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:21.180 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And to maybe take some of the pressure off, sometimes we feel we've got to know our purpose in life we've got to do this, we got to do it right, we got to do perfect.

00:29:22.560 --> 00:29:29.850 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Well, maybe there's a different perspective and a different way of looking at it so that it doesn't feel so stressful and we'll get into that.

00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:39.480 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Right after this you're listening to the conscious consultant our awakening humanity and we will be right back with the rest of our show after this.

00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:59.370 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back to the conscious consultant our awakening humanity, I really appreciate you all and appreciate you sticking with me through this show it's just me and you talking about creating the LIFE you want.

00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:13.110 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And they talked a lot about in the first segment about sort of taking responsibility for our lives for all of it, the good the bad the ugly the unexpected.

00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:24.240 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The good decisions we made the bad decisions we made and that's often a very difficult thing for people to do because we love to take credit for the things that feel good and we hate to take credit for the things that don't feel good.

00:32:25.830 --> 00:32:29.430 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Well, how about this, what if it was all perfect.

00:32:30.780 --> 00:32:38.010 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What if we take away these human perspectives of good and bad.

00:32:40.560 --> 00:32:47.550 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And what if everything that happened in our lives every decision we've made.

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:51.780 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Every place we've been all the things we've been through.

00:32:52.890 --> 00:33:10.020 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What if it was all exactly what it was supposed to be, what if it was all perfect because it brought us to where we are today what if the most painful the most difficult the most challenging parts of our lives.

00:33:11.190 --> 00:33:14.580 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: we're actually always supposed to be there.

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:25.410 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Informed who we are, more than anything else, and gave us the opportunity to to create.

00:33:27.150 --> 00:33:28.530 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: A pathway.

00:33:29.760 --> 00:33:39.240 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Not just for ourselves from those challenge different difficult times to where we are now, but to create it again and my friend jennifer's terminology, a bridge.

00:33:40.530 --> 00:33:42.630 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: From what was to what is.

00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:49.800 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And that, if we take the quote unquote bad this out of it.

00:33:51.150 --> 00:33:55.080 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Look uncomfortable short challenging absolutely.

00:33:56.970 --> 00:33:58.170 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Was it really bad.

00:33:59.550 --> 00:34:04.620 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Or was it just a part of this whole experience we call life.

00:34:06.930 --> 00:34:19.800 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I went through an extremely difficult dark period of my life for about six years after college actually during and after college, when I was living with my friend who have mentioned before, who was schizophrenia.

00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:26.730 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: living with schizophrenia is no picnic it was the most challenging time of my life.

00:34:30.450 --> 00:34:41.970 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But, in some ways it informed, who I am today almost more than any other aspect of my life now obviously things I had experienced as a young child.

00:34:42.720 --> 00:34:52.680 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: informed me to make the decision to put myself in that situation because it's completely voluntary nobody put a gun to my head, you know I made the choice of my own free will.

00:34:55.830 --> 00:35:00.060 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But, had I not made that choice, who knows where it's been.

00:35:02.610 --> 00:35:04.740 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: 11 years ago and in 2010.

00:35:06.510 --> 00:35:07.620 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I got a message.

00:35:09.090 --> 00:35:10.050 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Through Facebook.

00:35:11.430 --> 00:35:15.780 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: A friend of mine account that it was his brother and he said, Sam, I just wanted to let you know.

00:35:17.100 --> 00:35:21.390 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: David passed away he died committed suicide.

00:35:23.130 --> 00:35:32.490 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: and David had been my friend, I mean i'd known him since probably kindergarten we went to the same elementary school went to the same junior high school.

00:35:33.120 --> 00:35:40.770 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: and junior high schools, when we really became close and became I mean he was my best friend, I think all the way through graduating high school.

00:35:43.050 --> 00:35:46.530 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: me know, I was at, and we were at each other's weddings well.

00:35:49.770 --> 00:35:50.190 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: and

00:35:51.720 --> 00:36:03.960 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I had no idea, he had been suffering from depression, most of his life to me he had it all, he was just like me came from a nice Jewish family in the bronx had an older brother older sister around the same ages of my older brother and older sister.

00:36:05.310 --> 00:36:15.660 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: His parents were a little less educated than my parents, but more successful in a way, his dad owned first a little candy stores newspaper paper stand near Yankee stadium anybody.

00:36:16.410 --> 00:36:30.720 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: stationery store up in scarsdale he seemed to have more money he was seemed to be more together better looking than me and more in shape people have baseball you know I had better girlfriends than me, you know always.

00:36:31.740 --> 00:36:32.430 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: kind of.

00:36:34.050 --> 00:36:34.980 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I looked up to him.

00:36:38.040 --> 00:36:42.120 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But then, to find out that he committed suicide, I was heartbroken.

00:36:44.310 --> 00:36:45.690 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Especially at the time.

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:50.370 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I always felt that if he had come to me that the probably things I could have done to help.

00:36:53.010 --> 00:36:58.050 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Just gotten the healing Center and all kinds of modalities and therapies, but I had no clue.

00:37:00.030 --> 00:37:05.790 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And I often thought that that old expression there, but for the grace of God go I.

00:37:08.220 --> 00:37:23.190 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: You know, even though, and he had when he killed himself, he had a wife, who loved him two young boys who were wonderful kids a successful business, I mean on the outside, all of the apparent trappings of a successful life.

00:37:24.690 --> 00:37:26.430 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But inside there was something missing.

00:37:28.230 --> 00:37:32.490 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And, in some ways, I mean he say he was kind of more superficial than me.

00:37:34.590 --> 00:37:37.710 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But I could have easily have been that way.

00:37:39.180 --> 00:37:43.560 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And that had those very difficult experiences early on in life.

00:37:47.340 --> 00:37:58.830 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And so, was it a bad thing that I chose to help my friend out and move in with my friend who was gets a frantic and do all this stuff who knows who knows where he would have ended up.

00:38:01.290 --> 00:38:06.240 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Maybe I went to have the emotional fortitude to deal with the other pressures in life.

00:38:07.290 --> 00:38:07.860 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I don't know.

00:38:10.590 --> 00:38:19.380 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Maybe that's exactly what was supposed to happen in my life, what if life actually knows better for us.

00:38:20.490 --> 00:38:22.470 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What our path is than we do.

00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:34.530 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And what if none of our decisions, none of our choices, none of the things we focused on the energy we've put out there has ever ever been wrong.

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:37.290 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What if there is no wrong.

00:38:38.520 --> 00:38:42.060 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: With a fair life is merely a result.

00:38:43.170 --> 00:38:49.710 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Of the path we've been born to live to evolve to grow to bring us to this point in life.

00:38:51.600 --> 00:38:55.920 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Where suddenly we're making our choices differently.

00:38:57.150 --> 00:39:00.300 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: To be able to deal with all the challenges around us.

00:39:01.980 --> 00:39:05.940 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Indeed, what if life is actually perfect and we just can't see the perfection.

00:39:08.670 --> 00:39:19.890 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Now look, this is not to say that we get a free pass and we can go out and commit robberies and do whatever we want to be born rape people and do all kinds of stuff like that that is not what i'm saying.

00:39:21.090 --> 00:39:23.550 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: That is not how a conscious person lives.

00:39:28.770 --> 00:39:43.410 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But what if, in this grand design of this universe began taking this human judgment out of it we stop judging things as good as bad stop judging our life as good or bad.

00:39:44.910 --> 00:39:50.100 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Stop judging what we experience as good or bad it's just what we're experiencing.

00:39:53.340 --> 00:40:07.290 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Creating the life we want, we are always creating the life we want, because if we didn't want it, we would change we would make different choices we would change our environment change our location change our relationships.

00:40:10.260 --> 00:40:14.970 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We first have to recognize this is exactly what we want.

00:40:19.200 --> 00:40:26.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And we can want something different, and we can create something different, and we can move in a different direction.

00:40:31.410 --> 00:40:41.670 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And six months from now, we can decide oh doesn't feel so good, now I think i'm going to change again and a year later, now not really where I want to be and change again.

00:40:43.410 --> 00:40:52.800 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Right that's the beauty that's that's the essence of free will, we can always make a different decision, a different choice now look.

00:40:54.420 --> 00:41:04.110 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: things do happen to us absolutely we have no control over the weather over you know the big forces in this world.

00:41:04.860 --> 00:41:17.490 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: As an example, like the woman, I had on last week, she was from miramar you know, a military dictatorship, you know you don't have certain freedoms in that kind of environment external freedoms, but you do have the internal freedom.

00:41:18.720 --> 00:41:24.570 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I mean Nelson Mandela is such an amazing example of this, who spent decades in prison.

00:41:26.250 --> 00:41:30.990 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But he didn't allow them to imprison his mind in his heart and his soul.

00:41:32.340 --> 00:41:44.910 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: it's not about our external circumstances now look do we all strive for freedom, do we all want a more comfortable life, do we all want to absolutely, this is not negating any of those desires.

00:41:47.190 --> 00:42:03.030 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But the most important thing we bring to life is what is inside of us, and we always always always, let me say that one more time always have a choice of how we decide to show up.

00:42:03.600 --> 00:42:18.030 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We can choose to see life as oppressive or we can choose it to see life as a gift, we can choose to see what happens is good and bad or we can choose to see it as our natural growth and evolution.

00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:30.120 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Now I happen to be one of those crazy people who believe in reincarnation I believe that we have an eternal soul inside of us.

00:42:31.380 --> 00:42:41.520 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: That comes through us and then, when we die, it leaves us and it comes back again and we are on this continual path of unfolding and growth.

00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:49.530 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So sometimes it's hard to see the big big big big picture of our souls evolution.

00:42:51.240 --> 00:42:54.420 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And sometimes, yes, we need to experience.

00:42:55.620 --> 00:43:01.110 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Somehow horrendous incident in order for us soul to grow.

00:43:03.300 --> 00:43:23.580 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And oftentimes, it is the perspective that we take on it that makes the biggest difference, and this was so poignant Lee highlighted to me a number of years ago, when I met this wonderful gentleman JC who who edited and put together this book called, thank God, I.

00:43:24.720 --> 00:43:30.480 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: was filled with stories of people who had been through such challenging difficult times.

00:43:31.530 --> 00:43:35.970 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But eventually lead them to a place of empowerment and joy.

00:43:37.350 --> 00:43:54.810 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So was filled of stories of like thank God I got cancer, thank God, I got fired, thank God, I got rate, thank God, I got this now what again, this is not giving people a free pass to go out and hurt people you know I am a big believer and at first do no harm.

00:43:58.230 --> 00:43:59.820 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: You know what.

00:44:01.380 --> 00:44:04.680 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Should we be taking better care of our environment absolutely.

00:44:06.930 --> 00:44:16.200 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But not because it's quote unquote good or bad because it make our lives better because it will make the lives of our children and our grandchildren better.

00:44:17.700 --> 00:44:21.690 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: There are decisions that we make that have repercussions.

00:44:23.820 --> 00:44:26.670 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: It doesn't it doesn't take away our responsibility.

00:44:29.580 --> 00:44:31.050 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But it adds to it.

00:44:33.720 --> 00:44:37.710 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: A level of confidence, a level of peace.

00:44:39.630 --> 00:44:45.570 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: That when we are truly paying attention to what feels expensive what feels right.

00:44:47.580 --> 00:44:52.830 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: What feels in our body when we're really connected to it is the right choice to make.

00:44:54.510 --> 00:45:02.790 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And even if it doesn't turn out the way we expect that most of the times it doesn't turn out the way we expect it is always the right choice.

00:45:03.900 --> 00:45:14.280 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Because it is the right choice whether it works out the way we want or we don't want because it will bring us to another place in our lives, which will then bring us to another place, and another place, and another place.

00:45:17.310 --> 00:45:25.500 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And then place it will bring us to again it's Our choice is a joyful journey and i'm going to talk a little bit about that.

00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:05.520 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Millions of little choices decisions where do we put our focus and our energy.

00:48:08.430 --> 00:48:11.100 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Ultimately, what is it that we really want.

00:48:12.900 --> 00:48:23.400 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: forget all the external trappings, but what is it that we really want to experience in life and it's joy, the happiness fulfillment contentment.

00:48:27.420 --> 00:48:29.550 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: How do we create the life that we want.

00:48:30.720 --> 00:48:43.980 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: it's living life, every day, finding a way to have fun to be joyful to enjoy the moment no matter how difficult it is.

00:48:45.510 --> 00:48:47.580 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: By just asking the question.

00:48:48.930 --> 00:48:54.510 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: How can I have more fun with this, how can I be more playful with this, how can I be more joyful.

00:48:56.340 --> 00:48:59.910 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I did a whole episode on living life in the dash.

00:49:01.230 --> 00:49:06.000 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And if you haven't heard that one please go to the podcasting platforms and.

00:49:07.950 --> 00:49:08.760 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: and listen to it.

00:49:10.380 --> 00:49:11.670 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And what is the dash.

00:49:12.900 --> 00:49:16.620 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The dashes the dash on your tombstone between your birth date and your death date.

00:49:18.120 --> 00:49:19.560 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Because life is not live.

00:49:20.790 --> 00:49:26.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: On your day you were born or the day you're dying it lived in all the days in between.

00:49:28.170 --> 00:49:39.660 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So often, we get caught up with the achievement, with the goals with having to get here or get there, and once I get this done i'll be happy and once I get that done i'll be happy.

00:49:41.520 --> 00:49:56.460 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But anyone who's lived that way knows before too long, you're never happy because there's always another goal, once you reach a goal you're happy for 30 seconds a minute two minutes five minutes that's like another goal I gotta do something else.

00:49:57.810 --> 00:50:06.060 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And so, our happiness is always put off by the next achievement, and the next achievement, and the next achievement and we miss this amazing opportunity.

00:50:07.290 --> 00:50:18.690 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Which is to be joyful in the moment because the moment is all we really have this moment, right here, right now, it's all we really have.

00:50:22.860 --> 00:50:24.510 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And when we recognize.

00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:31.590 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: that life is actually perfect a perfection beyond our understanding.

00:50:32.700 --> 00:50:34.950 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Why shouldn't we be joyful.

00:50:36.390 --> 00:50:45.660 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Why not be happy, why not live every day like it's an amazing wonderful day.

00:50:47.580 --> 00:50:54.900 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And the funny thing is, if we start off with that premise more than likely we will have an amazing wonderful day.

00:50:56.190 --> 00:51:09.510 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: At least we'll have a lot more of them than we will start off thinking like oh my God the state's going to be awful and so hard to know I can't believe all these things I got to do, and like we work ourselves up into a frenzy of ridiculousness.

00:51:10.710 --> 00:51:12.750 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Life is lived in the present moment.

00:51:14.430 --> 00:51:17.700 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: You want to create a life, the LIFE you want.

00:51:19.020 --> 00:51:28.560 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Start living it now, today this moment the moment you stop listening to this show.

00:51:30.180 --> 00:51:44.340 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: make this day the day you want it to be, because it's not about the outside world it's not about our outside circumstances it's not about whether we can go someplace or be somewhere or do something with somebody or not.

00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:51.030 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: it's all an inside job and it's all a choice.

00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:55.140 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We can always choose to be happy.

00:51:57.450 --> 00:52:02.820 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: It doesn't our happiness is not dependent on anyone else on anything else on our invite anything.

00:52:04.950 --> 00:52:12.600 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We can find a reason to be happy in any given moment, the question is, do you want to find that time.

00:52:15.300 --> 00:52:19.770 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We can find the time we can find that reason, we can find.

00:52:21.420 --> 00:52:23.580 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: A reason why to be happy.

00:52:25.290 --> 00:52:26.520 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: there's an old expression.

00:52:28.230 --> 00:52:32.790 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I used to be upset that I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet.

00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:43.500 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes we're so focused on those things that we don't have and we allow the lack of something.

00:52:44.640 --> 00:52:49.890 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: To allow us to be unhappy and down and upset.

00:52:50.970 --> 00:52:53.220 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Instead of focusing on what we do have.

00:52:55.530 --> 00:53:02.940 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Another wonderful expression that I love, I say to myself, often any day above ground is a good day.

00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:13.050 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Any day we're still breathing we can still make a different choice you can make a choice of how you live, your life.

00:53:15.030 --> 00:53:28.800 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: You see, creating the LIFE you want is not about achieving things it's not about getting the perfect job it's not about having the perfect lover the perfect spouse, the perfect partner, the perfect house living in the perfect situation.

00:53:30.450 --> 00:53:36.450 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Creating the LIFE you want is living it the way you want to live it.

00:53:37.500 --> 00:53:38.670 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Do you want to live.

00:53:39.870 --> 00:53:48.870 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: set in this place of sadness, do you want to live in a place of upset do you want to live in a place of anxiety and and then live in a place of.

00:53:49.980 --> 00:53:51.090 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: feeling awful.

00:53:52.530 --> 00:54:09.510 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Or you want to live in a place of being happy, of being joyful and being playful of just seeing this world is such an amazing opportunity to create and to and connect and there's so much there's so much juiciness to life.

00:54:13.680 --> 00:54:19.740 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Show life, what kind of life, you want live, it is all of our choices.

00:54:21.120 --> 00:54:21.810 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Every day.

00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:26.640 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And look do we get a perfect all the time of course now we're human beings.

00:54:27.900 --> 00:54:32.610 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We don't have to get it perfect all the time because life is perfect.

00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:37.650 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: it's really all about just how we want to feel.

00:54:39.870 --> 00:54:47.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: You want to feel a certain way in a given moment, find a reason to feel that way any given moment.

00:54:48.360 --> 00:54:49.410 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: does not matter.

00:54:50.580 --> 00:54:55.290 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: does not matter any information anything on the outside.

00:54:56.550 --> 00:55:03.690 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: It purely matters what's on the inside what's in our heart what's in our minds what's in our bodies.

00:55:05.910 --> 00:55:10.830 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: We can choose to have the life we want anytime we want it.

00:55:12.600 --> 00:55:27.930 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Now it's a practice being joyful being happy being Okay, with what is is a practice but guess what the more you do it, the more you practice it the easier and easier and easier it gets.

00:55:28.950 --> 00:55:33.300 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: How am I joyful Am I happy all the time, of course not.

00:55:34.950 --> 00:55:37.410 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But is that the direction I lean in.

00:55:38.490 --> 00:55:42.570 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Absolutely, do I forget sometimes hundred percent.

00:55:43.620 --> 00:55:47.490 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: When I remember do I lean in that direction again absolutely.

00:55:48.990 --> 00:55:57.690 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And it's one of the beautiful things because the more we remember the more we lean into it, the easier and easier it gets to remember to lean into it.

00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:04.440 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: You all have the LIFE you want right now.

00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:10.230 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: it's just your choice to recognize it for what it is.

00:56:13.080 --> 00:56:28.320 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Look there, it was an immense billions of calculations for the exact chemistry to come together for your ancestors to come together for things to evolve on the planet in this universe.

00:56:28.590 --> 00:56:41.940 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: For two people to meet a sperm and an egg to come together for you to be born, for you, not for you to be born alive for you to still be here today, so many things had to happen, it is mind boggling.

00:56:45.690 --> 00:56:53.580 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: So so many millions of coincidences had to come together for you to become out and be you the universe must think you're a good idea.

00:56:55.170 --> 00:56:57.330 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And if universe thinks you're a good idea.

00:56:59.940 --> 00:57:11.070 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Then let's use that as a reason to be happy let's use that as a reason to cultivate and live the life, we want to live.

00:57:12.750 --> 00:57:15.750 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: This is my gift, this is my present to you.

00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:26.550 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Why not give it a shot just try it don't believe a word I say, listen to the show again listen to this episode again don't believe a word.

00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:39.750 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: Try it on just try it on like you're trying on a pair of shoes in the store walk around in it see if it's comfortable for you or not, if it is great keep practicing if it's not toss it out.

00:57:42.900 --> 00:57:56.040 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: I hope these words that i've spoken this hour have supported you in some way have made you feel a certain way that supports where you want to go who you want to be what you want to do.

00:57:57.420 --> 00:58:05.040 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: But ultimately it's your life I can't live it for you, I can only live my life I love my life, I really do.

00:58:06.210 --> 00:58:10.770 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: And I will take my challenges in my life any day over.

00:58:12.240 --> 00:58:19.080 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: The alternative, which is not to live nope sorry I choose life, I will choose life every single time.

00:58:20.430 --> 00:58:24.750 Sam Liebowitz, The Conscious Consultant: No matter how painful, no matter how traumatic, no matter how.
