Sometimes we forget about those intentions we made at the very beginning of the year. Intentions, resolutions, goals or whatever you want to call them. I want to encourage you to go back and revisit them. Think about what you thought about the holiday break when you were reflecting on 2021 and thinking forward to 2022 and say, "Is this still what I want? How am I doing? Did I let other things bog me down? Am I making some progress toward these goals?" In this episode, I'd like to talk to you about some aspects of our mindset that can sometimes limit us. I have had the pleasure of meeting a lot of great people through this show and a lot of great people that have a similar idea and mission. The mission is to help more people live their authentic lives. Live the lives that they want as opposed to the ones that were laid out for you. The cookie-cutter scripted life, as I sometimes like to refer to it. One of the things that I like to call the traditional mentality that we all oftentimes have is when we see someone doing something similar to ourselves. There's an instinct to say that person's a competitor or a threat. However, this particular mission of ours requires a slightly different way of thinking. I have had one previous episode where I've interviewed other podcasters with a very similar mission. This particular show that I discovered is called A Life Up To Your Dreams. The host here with me is Luana Bossetti. Her podcast has a very similar mission to mine. I'm here trying to figure out how we can collaborate on the mission because getting through this old limiting culture is going to take as much alliance as opposed to us competing with one another. Luana, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me here. You are joining us from Majorca, Spain. Tell us a little bit about your place of residence because most of my guests have been other Coloradans thus far. I love exploring other places, cultures and stuff like that. Majorca is a beautiful island in Spain, not far from Barcelona. It's a beautiful place for people that want to connect with nature. You have everything from the sea to the mountains, waterfalls, and all you like. It's a beautiful island that has a lot to offer. Unfortunately, most of the time, it is viewed, at least here in Europe, as the place to go only in the summer, but it's so much more than that. It's so rich in culture and there are different places to go hiking in nature. It's a beautiful place for everybody if you want to visit Europe. You mentioned hiking in nature, which is a big thing where I live in Colorado. It's practically like a state religion that people do some hiking, backpacking and outdoor activity. Is that a major part of the culture? I'm thinking right now how Majorca would compare to a couple of nearby places. A lot of people know about Ibiza, which is known as a party place. Also, when you talk about Barcelona, I can't help but think about the Catalonian and all the separatist movements going on there. In Majorca, the thing is that there is obviously a beach because it's an island, but in the middle of it, there is a big mountain that it's called Tramuntana. It's a chain of mountains and there you can go do amazing hiking in the summer or not in the summer because it's too hot here. It gets to 40 degrees Celsius, but in the wintertime, it is perfect. It's a good time to go hiking. 'Stay weird and stay different, because that's your superpower. Maybe you don't understand it now. I didn't understand it when I was in the middle of it... you will be able to find the courage to pursue anything.'Share on X The local people or the tourists who are more interested in nature do that. Unfortunately, we have this tourism that’s "cheap" that you go on all day to party and so on in the South with your families. Compared to Ibiza, it's more a family island. In Ibiza, it's party people, but it's also beautiful. There's hiking there. Depending on what you go to go for or what you know. If you meet with locals, you will know that my Majorca is so much more than beaches and Spanish tapas. To orient my readers who are not familiar with the Celsius temperature scale. 40 degrees Celsius corresponds to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Whenever you think of 104, you think of places like Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and even Southern California type of deal. What is it like in the winter? Is the winter chilly or cold or very moderate, a good time? People here like the hike when it's the 40s and 50s. Around 10 degrees Celsius is oftentimes a decent temperature to hike out, especially at higher elevations. Here in the winter, it's roughly about from 10 up until 20 degrees Celsius. You can go on winter dates. It's always sunny here. We have a lot of sunny days most of the year. You can always go liking. In the winter it's better because they have less tourists and people go and have a picnic or stay around. There is no traffic, so it's easy to reach. It’s not like your warm beach weather, the way you think of a place like Cancun or something like that but a great moderate pleasant weather. I think of people from Northern Europe. If someone lives in London or Stockholm or something and wants to go somewhere where they can have some warm weather, walk around outdoors and see some of those waterfalls you mentioned. Here in Majorca, in the winter, it's more people that come for hiking or to cycle because there are still lots of parts where you can cycle. It's mainly people from Northern Europe, like Germany, especially to come to enjoy nature while it's too cold in their country. They cannot go out and walk or hike. It's very important and I've covered in some previous episodes of this show how beneficial it can be to periodically get out there in nature. As I mentioned before, I'm not here to tell you what that has to look like. Some people prefer to do yoga in their city park. Other people prefer to go on as I do long-distance bike rides or any other type of activity, but it does help to observe the trees, water, mountains, and forest instead of observing screens as many people end up doing now. As for me, I love the sea. Even in winter, I walk in the morning on the beach when there is nobody. It's perfect. You see the sunrise. It's beautiful on this side of the island. To walk in the morning with the sun coming up helps you because you as you said, I work on a computer. It's a lot of time in front of a screen. That's why it's super important. Your podcast is called A Life Up To Your Dreams. The first question I need to ask you is, do you feel where you are now that you're living life up to your dreams? Yes, totally. I choose a life up to my dreams several years ago when I left my hometown. It's been different from all these years. I had different goals and dreams, but every time, I was living life up to my dreams because for me, it means the life I chose, created and built for myself instead of following what society was telling me to do like a route that was ready or from the script, as you call it. For several years, I'm living life up to my dreams. Dreams: Don't share your dream with everybody because not everybody is there to listen and to encourage you. You left your hometown. To orient the audience, where is your hometown? It's in Italy. I'm from the North of Italy, Brescia, which is close to Milan. I left my hometown there. It was a very small town. As with any small town all over the world, the mentality is very strict. It's following step by step what everybody else was doing. Instead, I chose to leave my hometown and go explore the world and see because there was something else for me out there. That's why I decided to go for this life. Tell us a little bit about that particular mission because there are a lot of people who live by the script and never questioned it. What was going on in your head several years ago that made you realize, "I don't want to live by the script? I want to live a life up to my dreams." Did it put you into action to do it? I feel like there are probably a lot of readers out there who want something different but don't know what to do or are not quite prepared to do it. For many people, it's a journey to prepare yourself to go live a life up to your dreams. I left Italy, I was 19, but since I was fifteen when I started high school, I always said the thing that, "I quite didn't fit in the place, in the high school or in the small town where I was." I always dreamed about going and exploring new places and living abroad, meeting people from different cultures. That day that I went to high school, I felt like, "No, I don't want to go here." In high school, I chose what will allow me to travel more because in Italy, when you reach high school age, you have to pick a major for your high school. You go to university and you pick languages....
