 I'm starting a new kind of episode called "Snippets of Wisdom". In these episodes, I will be selecting my favourite, most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast.  ݆⁣ The first one which I chose to begin with has a very strong personal meaning for me. It’s a conversation I had with David Strickel, presented in episode #126. At that time in 2021, just over a year after I had launched Personal Development Mastery, I was feeling that the growth of the podcast was very slow. So during our conversation, I asked David: “How can I spread the podcast's message to a bigger audience?”  ݆⁣ The answer I received was one of the most profound aha moments that I had during the podcast. It inspired me and guided my subsequent steps about how I look at my podcast's growth. The wisdom shared in this message will be very valuable for you, if you're someone who feels impatient, who feels that despite all the work, the results are not showing.  ݆⁣ 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:⁣ * Celebrating the one listener, the one who is being enlightened, the one who is being forever changed * The quantity of people that are finding your message, ultimately is not nearly as important as their alignment - the ones who are ready for what you have to offer * The key to expansion is creating that high vibration of appreciation for what is * Balancing your human consciousness with your eternal soul consciousness is your optimal mode of operation as a human being  ݆⁣ 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀:⁣ Listen to the full episode (#126) here:https://bit.ly/pdm_126 ⠀  For a FREE ebook containing some of the best actionable takeaways from the podcast:PersonalDevelopmentMasteryPodcast.com/ebook  ݆⁣ 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁:⁣I am Agi Keramidas, a zealous podcaster and a knowledge broker.
