- I had the desire to go to church and,
I was embarrassed about that.
I was confused about why I wanted to go and
I've been very,
a little shameful of my desire to learn about God.
Yeah.
And even think that I'm gonna make a video right now,
about this topic.
My name is Janelle Fraser,
the expert to follow to become genuinely happy,
wildly successful, and a Naked Leader.
I just wanted to have a conversation today about,
when we get curious about something,
that we're afraid what other people are gonna think,
or what kind of stories they're gonna make up about us,
and I know it for the last few months,
me being curious in religions and God
doesn't mean that I don't believe all the things
I used to believe prior to.
But, some of the fears that have been coming up for me
is like, are people gonna think like,
that I'm stupid or,
like naive?
I went for a walk with my partner right now
and I'm like can you overhear what I'm saying
like, does he think I'm crazy?
You know I'm standing beside my mom in church this morning
and I'm like if I sing too loudly,
even though this song feels really good,
is she gonna think this is what i believe and
then think that's what she should believe?
I think, what I'm trying to get at here is,
that you're gonna be curious about things sometimes,
and that you should lean into that.
And that your curiosities are actually your own
inner wisdom.
There is nothing better than your inner wisdom and your
connection to yourself to lead you in the direction
of your next transformation.
Your next opportunity to be happier, to be healthier,
to be more fulfilled.
And so following your curiosity, I believe,
is purposeful.
And today I just wanted to remind you
not to let your fear of what other people think
hold you back from your next transformation.
I've been diving in spirituality for many,
you know, parts of my life, but never directly.
Never going to the churches,
speaking with spiritual teachers,
and actually, like, going in.
It's hard to talk about something
that you're embarrassed about.
It's hard to put words to something
that you're worried you're gonna be criticized about.
But our ability to have these conversations
that make us shake in vulnerability,
that make us feel totally uncomfortable,
and that challenge so many of our beliefs,
I think is also our ability to continue to become
the best version of ourselves.
For the last few years I've become very interested in
what I'll call alternative spirituality,
so mediumship and you know, tarot cards and
manifestation and the law of attraction and
the universe and those types of things.
However, what I also couldn't ignore any longer
was this large body of religion around the world
that I knew nothing about.
Throughout the service and throughout hearing the music,
it's like those songs were you know,
vibrating through my soul,
they were making me feel something,
and it felt like, energetically wise, if I turned my ears
off to the message,
it felt like what my seminars feel like.
What the conferences that I go to feel like.
And so, all of a sudden I was getting this feeling
that didn't resonate with what I was hearing,
because I was hearing, you know,
words like Jesus and God and, you know, verses and
readings from the Bible of which I have all this
programming around.
I would feel my heart beat open one minute and
recognizing the commonalities between my message and
the message of this church.
And then the next minute all it would take is
one of those words to get thrown out and I would
feel my heart totally shut down.
And I know myself enough to know that that resistance
is really just an opportunity.
And so if you're willing to open your heart and to
have conversations with people that you don't necessarily
think that you agree with in the beginning,
I think it's so amazing that we can find this
common ground and commonalities between ourselves
and that we all want the same things,
even if we're saying it a little bit differently.
So all that I know to be true, for me,
is that this world is so magical.
That the potential that exists, and in each and every
one of us, feels so limitless that I continue to find
deeper connection to nature, to myself, to the people
in my life, and to me,
there's gotta be something to all of this.
More than anything I feel totally blessed to be willing
to have this level of curiosity,
to be willing to go and have the conversations
that need to be had, to find the commonalities that
we all have.
So if you like this please give it a thumbs up.
Make sure you share it out with your friends
and be sure to subscribe so you get the updates for
my next video.
Make it a great day.
