Shannon Ferguson joins the show today to talk through her inspirational story of how she turned her life around from addiction to having a burning passion to help others through her up and coming new business venture. Together Shannon and Pete discuss how having a passion and purpose in life gives you that fire in the belly, why it is healing to no longer care what others think about you and why being with nature is a great way to appreciate the world we live in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Fire in the belly is living a life of passion and purpose. You may feel as though you have lived a life without a sense of direction or purpose, you need to learn how to tune into what you desire and what feels right for you. That will create a fire in the belly for you as well as giving you an excitement for life and what the future holds for you.
• Try not to please everyone. Everyone has different things that they want from you, with different expectations. Understand that you cannot please everyone and it is exhausting to even try, so why not live to please yourself? It will feel a lot better to make choices that are right for you. The people that are meant for your life, will love you for you and will be proud of you no matter what.
• It is healing to learn that it does not matter what other people think of you. It may hurt when people say hurtful things, but the fact that you love yourself, have good intentions and are a good person quickly outweighs that.
• With everything you do, be aware of how other people are feeling. Whilst it is good to be polite and mindful, when it starts to take over your life it is a recipe for unhappiness and being unfulfilled. It will not make you feel good to keep living that way.
• Everything happens for a reason. As long as you keep listening to your intuition, you will keep being guided down the right path. When you ignore it, that is when bad things begin to happen.
• Being with nature is a great way for us to appreciate the world which we so often miss because we are so absorbed with technology. We are constantly distracted with the hustle and bustle of life that it is grounding to be surrounded by nature.
