Conscious Rebel With Talen Barney

In this episode I dive into the process of becoming what and who you want to become, and how to not swim against the current when it comes to pursuing that. Most people these days have the process of creation completely backwards, and they are forcing and fighting great resistance. It is much easier to just 'Be'.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

What is the deeper reason to why I focus so much on self-mastery? Why do I talk so much about getting fit physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually? The answer lies in the future.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

It is one thing to find your "path". It is another thing to consistently stay on that path until you reach your desired destination. In this episode we learn how to apply highly selective criteria that will keep you accountable, but more importantly, it will hep you to stay aware and vigilant so you don't drift off your mark. By applying certain criteria, you can make sure for certain that you will hit your end target.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

“Create the environment to create. The more fertile the space, the more fertile the mind. I spend most of my days in a converted shipping container surrounded by books. A womb to gestate ideas into reality. To nurture thought into action. A chalkboard to jot ideas, log dreams, track goals and sometimes just draw. Images that free my mind. Inspire new creations. A microphone to record my thoughts. Dozens of fat markers, pens, spray paint cans. Too many notebooks and journals to count, dating back two decades. And a door that shuts — insulating me from the background noise of the world beyond. My environment is meticulously constructed to foster what I’m here to do. Think. Devise. Design. Develop. Shape. Build. But most all, to serve. Put intention into your personal space. Create the environment to create.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

Science is proving more and more that we really are COMPLETELY in charge of how our lives turn out. We may not be able to control the circumstances around us, but we are able to control how we react to those events, and then envision the future that we do want to create. You no longer have to just take the cards that were dealt with you and go through the motions. You can really grab life by the horns and start to intentionally live each day the way you want it to become in the future. You are the mastery of your destiny, the captain of your Soul.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

All nature and humanity is interconnected. We are all energetic beings who affect each other more than we think. What we do to ourselves, we do to others. I argue that one of the most pervasive and powerful darkness threatening humankind is that of hopelessness. It's a level of despair and darkness that is indescribable. In this episode I go through a few ways that we can all be more aware and observant and better establish connection between all beings.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

“If we do not master ourselves, we will be a slave to ourselves.” Need I say more? In a world run by the internet and instant convenience (which I am all for), we have forgotten the true reward and power of delayed gratification; of going within, instead of relying on everything outside of us. We have seemed to forget that if we do not master ourselves, then we become the slave to everything else. The more you commit to your personal development and growth, the more free you become. You gotta know the rules to break the rules.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

I truly believe that at the foundation of all great feats, progress and transformation is courage. I would also argue that in this incredible time in history of economic and social abundance, we have never lacked more courage. Courage, or a lack thereof, is the root cause of insecurities, mediocrity and living a life of safety and apathy as opposed to a life of adventure and bliss. Now you know why my ultimate mission in life is to instill in others the beautiful gift of courage.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

Life is about tradeoffs. You give up one good thing for another. And so it is if you choose to live your grand, bodacious, dreamy authentic life! Before you can actually reap those benefits, a certain price must be paid. Unfortunately, we don't talk about this enough so when people hit that phase, what I call the stretch of adaptation, they turnaround and go back. Remember this: you have to sit in chaos long enough to establish order. SOOO.... the real question is, who do you want to become, and what price are you willing to pay to get there? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support

I grew up being told that life is a test. I strongly disagree. From what I can tell so far, life is simply an experiment. It is about discovering who you are and what it is that makes your heart sing. It is about pioneering new frontiers, it is about seeing how capable and limitless your mind and body are, and it is about following your deep curiosity and your bliss. Experiments are full of trial and error, grand milestones and miserable failures. Sounds a lot like life, doesn't it? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talenbarney/support
