Teaspoon of inspiration | Jasna Burza

We all have beliefs and stories that impact our lives negatively. Here's an example of how small Jasna made up a story that really created problems and worse - it's not true.

One of the most fascinating things I notice when working with people is this: no matter what it is we are dealing with, when we are explained the process or have some kind of a framework to follow - things seem to make more sense and we seem to find more peace with it. I am a geek when it comes to understanding human nature through research and science - I love to learn to apply the tools I learn and see what shows up. Today I talk about a theory that explains how we process change, how long it takes and how you cannot force the process. Thanks to this framework, I can look at something and understand where I am at and where I am headed. It's really kind of interesting when you start to observe your own process.

I really believe that there is something that we are all good at (yes, that includes you!)…….one thing that you can do and feel good and know that you are doing a good job - bonus if it makes you feel like you can fly. But, most of us follow the conventional path of doing what's right and end up in jobs that have the potential of killing us inside. Let me be clear - I don't think everyone needs to do their own thing. I do believe that some people like 9-5 lifestyle and security so they can focus on other things. The problem arises when you find yourself in a job that is not a fit and where you feel like you are always interviewing for the job you already have. Over time, this predicament can seriously erode your confidence and make you feel stupid. You think I am kidding? I see smart people daily who think they are stupid because they find themselves in a job that is not their zone of genius. This is scary! Today, I talk about this problem and offer few nuggets of how to navigate these waters.

Wayne Dyer is one of my favorite spiritual teachers and he left such a big mark on my life. His quote "don't die with your music in you" inspired me to tell you a story and its importance.

This teaspoon of inspiration takes me back to post-war Bosnia and infamous Levi's jeans that I spent a whole year working for. I share why it never really was about the jeans…..

When I have everything ready. When things fall into place. When I lose weight. When i finish my office. When I get married. When I have a baby. When I get that certification.......and on and on and on with waiting for the things to be "perfect" before we actually do something.

What is success? Do you know what it is? How do you define it? And then, what happens when we have "worldly success" but are not happy with our relationships. Let's talk about it.
