Can't Be Contained

A lot of us struggle with learning to live in the now. Some people are constantly living in the past and thinking about what’s happened in their lives while others are focused on the future and what will happen next. Today’s guest, Daniel Levin is the author of The Mosaic and one of my personal mentors. In this episode, we talk about what a gift it is to be able to truly live in the now and how life’s uncertainty makes him feel most alive. He shares how to be more kind to yourself, how the words we use shape the identity of who we become and the power of showing up as you are.    About Daniel Levin:   Daniel Bruce Levin walked away from a huge opportunity (to work his way up from pushing a broom to running a billion-dollar business), to hitchhike around the world to find happiness and inner peace. His life has been dedicated to finding the peace and contentment that comes from truly knowing yourself. His mission has become holding the space for others to find that peace too.   He became the Director of Business Development at Hay House and played a big part in helping it grow from $3,000,000 to $100,000,000 over the next 10 years. He is the author of THE MOSAIC, a beautiful fable that touches the heart and soothes the soul, but to this day, he feels he is not the author. He knows it was the characters of the fable that actually wrote this story.   Inside this episode, Daniel shares:   Being compassionate with yourself about where you “should” be How to practice being kind to yourself using the Mosaic process Why people are scared to be vulnerable and be seen The power in becoming the storyteller of your own identity The gift of being at peace with who you are Going deep within yourself to set that example for other people  You can find more about Daniel at: Website | Facebook | Instagram  Links: The Mosaic Book Check out our Hungry for Happiness community for more details, programs, and tips on how to thrive as a wellness coach!

Our bodies are capable of so much more than we often give them credit for.

We also chat about why you need self-discovery and how that’s often much different from self-love.    About Sanjay Rawal: Sanjay spent 15 years working on human rights campaigns for acclaimed artists and philanthropists, one of whom encouraged him to start making films.
