Snippet of wisdom 1.
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.

* 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

Welcome to Personal Development Mastery podcast episode 253. Today I'm starting something new, 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, the one that I chose to begin with, has a very strong personal meaning for me. And often when I'm asked, which were the most impactful episodes in my show, or the ones that I had the biggest learnings, this one that you're about to listen to, it's certainly one of them.

It is a conversation I had back in May 2021. And it was with David Strickel. David has a unique, deep understanding of the universal laws. And he developed that by having or receiving what he refers to as, "guidance from the source". I won't go into detail about that, because I don't want to sound woo-woo that's not the point. What I will say, just to have some context here, is that at that time in 2021, it was just over a year after I had launched personal development mastery. And I was feeling that the growth of the podcast was very slow. So during our conversation, I had the opportunity to ask David, this thing that was on my mind, how can I spread the podcast's message to a bigger audience? I'm going to play David's response for you in a moment. Before I do, I will tell you that this answer I received is something that inspired me and has guided the subsequent steps I took since then, about how I look at my podcast's growth. I believe that the wisdom shared in this message will be very valuable for you. If you're someone like me, who feels impatient, who feels that despite all the work, the results are not showing yet. It was one of the most profound aha moments that I had during the podcast. And without further ado, here it is.

... how can I be able to spread this message to much more people that it has been going so far?
David Strickel 3:01
We guide you first to understand that the idea of quantity is a very 3D if you will, a very egocentric idea. The quantity of people that are finding your message ultimately is not nearly as important as, we will not use the term quality because that sounds judgmental, but the alignment of the people that are finding your message, the ones who are ready for what you have to offer. And understand that human beings are impatient by nature, you are expansive beings, you want to get things done, you want to create and in your dipping into ego and allowing your ego to get out of balance with your eternal consciousness, your version of this - that drives you to become impatient. And that drives you to self sabotage, that drives you to tell yourself that little voice that chimes in when you're in that state, that not enough people are following not enough people are listening. Not enough people are absorbing, yet you have so much to offer.
David Strickel 4:29
Understand that pulling the judgement out of all of that and celebrating the one listener, the one who is being enlightened, the one who is being forever changed with what you have to offer, and really focusing on that, focusing on the collective of everyone that you are interacting with as if it is one, even if it is one, and celebrating that will create that vibration, that energy. And that vibration will reverberate and attract more who are ready for the message. And the more that come in, in that high vibrational alignment, even if they come in, in what you would consider a slow fashion, the more powerful the message is becoming. And the more you are actually offering all of humanity, even if it's not showing up in terms of physical listeners or followers, it's creating that high vibration of appreciation for what is, is always the key to expansion. From there, view the journey as magical, and perfect, and exactly what it needs to be exactly what it should be. Because when you're dipping into judgement, that's going to lower your vibration. And remember that the universe only responds Yes. So if you are frustrated at lack of growth, the universe is going to deliver more frustration. If you are frustrated at the small number in your opinion of followers or listeners, you're going to get more of that.
David Strickel 6:12
Whereas if you're celebrating whatever it is, and you continue to do your work and joy for the joy of it, putting it out there, regardless of the quantity of listeners or followers, you are going to ultimately craft a message that will expand because you are not frustrated with it. You are not measuring it in a 3D way. You're not letting your ego cloud the progress that you're actually making vibrationally.
David Strickel 6:44
And when we speak of ego it's important to understand that your ego is not a bad thing or is a good thing. Your ego is your human consciousness, and balancing your human consciousness with your eternal soul consciousness is your optimal mode of operation if you will, as a human being. Balancing these things, allowing your ego to motivate you to put a message out and to do things of that nature - that is your ego. But when your ego is out of balance, then you are judging and you are fearing and you are not appreciating the vibration that you are putting out, whether the ratings are showing up or not.
