106: Faith and Magic

Let’s talk about faith and if you need it, have or don’t believe it. I can show you how you don’t need blind faith, but you in fact already have lots of proof that you can manifest the things you want in a whole new way. I share my process for imagining and vision boards (Not the way you may be thinking) and how to create a way for you to find aligned action each morning.

I’m your host, Betsy Pake, and this podcast is designed to share interviews and new ideas to help you redefine what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hey, everybody, welcome to the show. Today I want to talk to you about faith. Faith in the magical universe. And faith, I think is one of the things that we struggle a lot with when we’re trying to make changes in our life, or when we want to manifest something in our life, and it just doesn’t seem like it’s coming it is that, that that faith like, is it possible. When I was at the beach over spring break a month or so ago, I got up every single morning and I watched the sunrise, it was one of the most delicious things I love being able to be at the ocean, hearing the waves smelling the ocean and seeing that sunrise, and even seeing the sunset. And honestly, there’s a whole lot more people out there watching the sunset, and the sunrise. So the sunrise was sort of peaceful, because it was pretty quiet. Not a lot of people out there. But I’ll tell you that when I was watching the sunset, nobody was crying, oh my god, the sun is going down. Like we’re never gonna see light again. Nobody was worried because they had faith. They had faith that in the morning, the sun was gonna rise. In fact, I had so much faith, I had a app on my phone that I trusted that told me exactly when so that I could get up in time to hightail it downstairs and watch the sunrise right by the ocean. And so when we think about faith, sometimes we think about blind faith, we think that there has to be no clues or nothing that’s going to tell us and we just have to believe. But you might be surprised how many things in your life, you don’t have to go by blind faith, you actually can go by faith because you’ve experienced something, right? You’ve had it happen. And you can grasp that this thing could happen again, or this thing could happen in a totally new way. So having faith really means having confidence in something that you can’t see, like I couldn’t see the sun rotating, I couldn’t see anything happening in the cosmos. When I went to bed, I went to bed, and I just knew that it was going to be there when I woke up. And you know, I see this in my life every single day. I’m a plant person, I’m actually a pretty new plant person, I was a flower person for a long time. And now I’ve shifted a little bit to become a plant person. But I have one plant that I’ve had forever and ever. I mean, I’ve probably had Robert like 16 years, his name’s Robert Plant, 16 years probably. And I noticed that he had a couple leaves that were starting to fall off. And so just probably about three or four weeks ago, I clipped those leaves, and I put them in a little jar of water on my window sill in my office, and I’m looking at them right now. And they’ve got all these roots there, they’re ready to be planted. Total faith, I couldn’t see the roots, I couldn’t see that the roots were going to come. But I knew from past experience,
