Are you living like a mouse when you should be living like a lion? That puzzle had Sheri + Nancy hooked from the very first page of the best seller You are the One, by the oh-so-enchanting Kute Blackson. You’re the one you’ve been looking for the whole time, according to Kute, and it’s so easy to believe him: his energy, his effervescence, his accent. Sher and Nance were swept away.

In this episode, Kute illuminates the power that exists when we really feel our truth, trust our intuition and embrace the unknown. He shares some amazing moments from his journeys to India and Bali, where he guides fellow seekers through the experience of coming to terms with the persona they have created versus who they really are (mouse versus lion). He invites us to explore the beauty of loving without expectation and the surrender to our soul’s true calling.

Takeaways:

● Shift the question from “what do I want” to “what is seeking to unfold” and feel the mystical quality when you allow openness.

● You can’t get out of a rut unless you see the rut you are in. If it feels like you are repeating the same patterns, that is a sign to change it up and face reality completely without judgment.

● What are you pretending not to know? Oh, that’s a big one.

● Co-creating your life is different from the need to try to control every outcome.

● Do something daily that scares you, shocks you, and takes you out of your routine. Kute loves how India shakes you loose of your habitual and linear self and connects you back to your senses.

● Make death your friend. Feel it, and use it as a motivator to make the most of your precious time. Start with the truth on how you really feel, and then the truth on who you really are will rise to the surface.

● Don’t be a lion living like a mouse. Live big, bold, and charge into the jungle of the unknown.
