Episode Highlights:
[14:55] Finding Empowerment Through Your Narrative
Dakota believes that the way we shape the meaning of our lives and talk about our stories greatly impacts the outcomes we experience. For him, it really doesn't matter what your story is – it's what it means to you and the way that you talk about it. By framing our experiences in an empowering light and using language that uplifts ourselves, we can take control of our narratives and work towards the realities we desire.
[16:49] The Interconnection Between Internal and External Sustainability
When considering sustainability, Dakota notes that most people only think of environmental factors. However, he believes true sustainability starts from within. We're not going to solve any of these problems in our external reality, until we start to go inside and work on our own personal stuff. Sustainability is interconnected with personal growth, mindset and introspection.
[17:36] The Keys to True Transformation
Dakota believes facing inner darkness and gaining self-awareness are keys to transformation. Confronting our shadows seems terrifying yet our darkest places hold the greatest value. True change begins with introspection to understand ourselves. Through introspection and awareness of strengths and weaknesses, we can expand our perspective with new ideas, energy, and movement.
