Summary

Episode 45: How do you know if you’re on the right path in life? Are you still successful even if you have not accomplished what society says you should have by now? Amanda discusses her struggles with the speed at which she’s achieving her goals in life versus focusing on the direction she is going in (or finding the right path to take). This episode is inspired by our former guest and fellow podcaster, Case Kenny. His podcast is called “New Mindset, Who Dis?” and he has a purpose driven, mindset book called That’s Bold of You. Case Kenny: Ep. 608 – The joy of pulling a 180 (reinvention) Case Kenny: Ep. 603 – You’re note falling behind (don’t settle) Case Kenny: Ep. 577 – Not where you’re supposed to be in life? Case Kenny’s Mindset Prompt: “Do you ever feel like you’re not where you’re supposed to be in life? Your ability to be happy is not limited to what you achieve ‘on time.’ Life isn’t about speed, it’s about direction. Wouldn’t you say it’s better to wander in the RIGHT direction than sprint in the WRONG one? To change your mind rather than to just do what’s expected of you? Your happiness doesn’t come from where society thinks you ‘should’ be by now or where younger you thought you should be by now. It’s about where you are, and the beauty you find there. So at any age it’s okay to rewrite the script in search of that. To change directions. Life isn’t just about milestones, it’s about collecting memories. And right now if that’s what you’re doing, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.” Keep Up with Amanda Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠ IG:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@podcast.for.the.lost⁠⁠ and ⁠@amanda.k.powers⁠ TikTok: ⁠@podcast.for.the.lost⁠ SHOP DISCOUNTS
