HOW TO QUESTION EVERYTHING

9/28/2020

0 Comments

 
What story are you living and who wrote it?  You?  Or did your family or society or the advertisers of America write the script for the life you’re currently living?  Are you an entrepreneur struggling to live a healthy life while making your business successful?  What does success even look like?

What would it be like to be able to answer those questions?  More importantly, what would it be like to intentionally set your own direction and meet your own authentic expectations, free from old stories and self-imposed obstacles? 

Our guest this week is Mary Hodges.  Mary is the host of the Abundantly Being Podcast where she and her guests share tips for creating fulfillment from within and taking ownership of your life and business. Mary's mission is to help entrepreneurs create a thriving life and business from the inside out so they can experience more flow, more fun, and more freedom while they share their gifts with the world. She’s also owner of STL Startup Lawyer where she provides advice and peace of mind to small businesses and startups.

Mary was a success by every societal metric: a lawyer who had been a great student and champion athlete in school.  But something was off.  Mary stopped to think one day and realized she was acting out a script that had very little to do with who she really was.  She employed the ancient art of questioning to get to the bottom of the story she was living and make some profound changes, including starting a business to help entrepreneurs take better care of themselves and create successful lives, not just successful ventures.  

How can we use questions to find out if you are on track or not?  How can you get to the root of your own story?  How can you write a life that is more purposeful and authentic?  How can you take your foot off the brake and move ahead?
How can you make your gifts meaningful in the context of community?

Stick with us and get some champion suggestions from the delightful and resolute Mary Hodges.

​“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
- Ranier Marie Rilke
