Achievement Strategy: Abundance Thinking

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?...

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you...

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others." ~ Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

What if you could be doing anything in the world that you wanted to be doing... What would that be? If there were no limitations... If money was not an obstacle... If education was not an obstacle... If family obligations were not an obstacle... What would your life look like?

In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews Bella St John, the author of Achievement Alchemist: Discover Your Passion & Create the Life of Your Dreams.

Rather than 'telling' you what you should or could be doing with your life, the Achievement Alchemist Guided Journal provides you with the basic tools and then challenges you with a series of exercises and questions to help you understand and then embrace the power of passion.

Before she essentially retired Ms (Leigh) Bella St John's career was that of achievement strategist, executive coach, professional speaker and author, presenter, and a leading authority on 'abundance thinking'. Bella's adventures and the things she has done in her life make one think she must be at least 179 years of age – and all this with physical and mobility challenges… Among other things, she rode in a husky sled in the Scottish Highlands; spent time down in a Romanian salt mine; raced speedway stock cars; travelled overnight by rail from Vienna to Rome; spoke on stage at the United Nations; attended the Winter Olympics in Whistler; cruised the River Danube; stayed overnight by herself in a ghost town in the middle of the Nevada Desert; bought her very own Victorian horse-drawn carriage (as one does!); road-tripped across, around, and through America multiple, multiple times in a classic Jaguar convertible; visited the town with the longest place name in the world, cruised the Mississippi river on a paddle steamer; travelled by Jeep through underground caverns in the Ozarks; spent a week camping by herself beside a stunning lake in Georgia, complete with nightly skinny-dipping under the stars; visited the Altaussee salt mine in the mountains of Austria where WWII art treasures stolen by the Nazis were found by the 'Monuments Men'; slept in King Edward VII's bed; rode on the world's steepest incline railway; visited the church where her great-grandfather's great-grandparents were married;… and sooooo much more!
