One Life with Donny Raus

When we hold on to an outcome, we often stifle it out of existence. Not only that, but the experience of it is not pleasurable, because there's always this undertow of worry surrounding it. What if you could (and you can) let go out the outcome? What if by doing so, it came to you faster than you could ever imagine? In this episode we'll go over a simple practice of allowing. Questions t...

What would each category of your life look like if you gave 100% to it? Said differently, what if you played full out? This could be a triggering question for some, as you may realize you have been deluding yourself. Don't feel bad if this is you. It is a good place to be in, because the truth shall set you free. What does it mean to play 100%? Does it mean putting all your energy into one en...

We are the cause and the effect. Said differently, we are the creators of our experience. This is extremely powerful, as it leaves everything in reach, so long as you're willing to take action and change your approach. In this episode we'll dive deeper into this concept, giving you clarity into the results you're currently experiencing and the actions to take to get you to where you...

It is the fuel that makes relationships thrive, as well as, leads to their demise. I'm talking about presence. The quality of your life is depends on the quality of your relationships. Being completely honest with ourselves, how have you shown up with the people most important to you? In this episode we'll cover one practice that can change your relationships instantly. Questions to pond...

Our beliefs dictate how we perceive the world around us. Said differently, it is our outer world that allows us to experience ourselves. A small shift in our "life filter" can literally shift your entire experience. The intention of this podcast is to show you some of the scotomas you have in your life, so that you can change your outward experience to one of joy.  Questions to ponder: W...

When do you get sparks of inspiration? It is unlikely that it happens when you're focusing so hard on a project or endeavor. Rather, it is when you allow your mind to relax and open to the messages the Universe/God/Source is trying to send to you. That place is available to you all the time, but it must be sought after. This episode is about creating more of those moments. To subscribe, comme...

We are all masterpieces in the making, blocks of marble being chipped away to reveal our splendor. This journey requires some pain, as we break old habits and release parts of ourselves that are no longer serving. Wherever you are on the journey, know that you're being molded into a work of art.  Questions to ponder: Where have you been struggling? What are the emotions you've been feeli...

Life is happening NOW. It is so easy to give in to societal pressures to have the car, buy the house, and create the perfect family, but if you listen to your heart, what is it that you really want? What really matters? If we don't take time to connect deeply to ourselves, we get stuck in the "should's " of life and before you know it, you're living a life that isn't...

Our story is the narrative of our lives. We have stories for each area of our life, explaining why we have or don't have the results we want, as well as, why things are the way they are. The bread and butter is that we are the authors of our story. While it may seem like "Pollyanna" and that you're only focusing on the positive and not acknowledging your feelings, it is quite t...

What is the secret to living longer? The first answer is likely to come to mind is exercise and a healthy diet, but what if I told you that the way to add more years to your life was to add more life to your years? When we set a goal that excites and fills us with emotional juice, it gives us access to our "life" reserves, while simultaneously opening the reservoir for more of that preci...

It is never about "doing", but rather how committed are you to the thing you say you want. When you "try" to do something, what you're really saying is, "I have is to leave an escape route, so that in the event things don't work out, you can say you put forth a valiant effort.  However, when you consciously choose what you want and commit to its achievement, you...

I believe that the meaning of life is to feel good. Think about it... Why do you do the things you do? Isn't it to feel a certain way?  This can get a little messy when the result we're after requires us to step through some pain in the process. When this happens, it is important to remember with vivid detail why you're going after the thing in the first place, as well as, that you...

As a society, we have the bad habit of seeking answers outside ourselves, rather than going inward, where the real answers lie.  This is especially true when it comes to morning rituals. Is there a morning ritual that is more optimal than others? Sure, there are more empowering habits, such as choosing a meal that will give you energy vs leave you feeling bogged down, but the right morning ritual...

Excuses come in two forms. They can either empower us or disempower us. The choice is yours, because at any given time, all options are available. The distinguishing factor is where you're putting your focus and attention.   What is something that you've said you wanted? Based on how you feel today, are you moving towards it or away? Where have you been putting your focus (why it won&apo...

Like attracts like. Whether you're experiencing joy and passion or overwhelm and anxiety, what you're feeling is directly related to what you're open to receiving. Change your frequency and you change your experience of life. Doing so will require you to identify and answer the following:  -Where you are currently (emotionally). -The thoughts that have brought you here. -Where you w...

Fear is a natural process of life and a hurdle you must jump over to achieve anything you want in life. Knowing this, how do you move through and conquer the fear, rather than let it paralyze you? In this episode I will share a formula for moving past fear, as well as, an experience I recently had where one wrong move literally meant death and how I overcame it.

There are two ways to change, the push (what you'll lose) and the pull (what you'll gain). The best one to deploy depends on you, but by combining them, you get the best of both worlds and maximum thrust towards the outcome you want.  What is an area of your life you know you need to change, but have yet to take action? Let this episode inspire you to the possibilities that await you. To...

What if you could see every passing moment as a blessing? How would that impact your life? It is often the most challenging of times that are our greatest teachers.

You can do it by simply asking a different question.  For questions, comments, or to purchase Raus Coffee, visi...

What if you could experience the result of what you want before you get it? Seems a bit backwards, but it is exactly what you need to do in order to get the result you're after. Doing so takes your focus off of the bumps in the road, keeping your eye on the prize. In this episode I share my experience preparing to walk across hot coals and the power of celebrating my outcome.  If you have que...

Everything we do is awkward at first. Sure, passion pushes us forward to take the initial action, but not long after we're confronted with the reality that there is a lot we don't know. What we decide next will determine the trajectory of your life. Will you break through, learning what you need to learn in order to become competent in the new skill, will you bounce against the wall, doi...

What if it only took 1 second to bring you from where you are to the life you want? Would you be wiling to invest the time?

You can subscribe to this podcast, ask questions, leave comments, and purchase some amazing Raus Coffee to start your day by...

Our minds aren't designed to make us happy. They're designed to keep us safe. Everything worthwhile in life is going to require one thing, discipline. It requires you to break through a barrier of discomfort to create new habits. When you step into vs away from discomfort, that is when the real results start show up.  If you'd like to subscribe to the podcast, have questions, commen...

Our minds are built for survival and that usually means focusing on the things we don't want. Rather than scorn the "don't want's", you should instead celebrate them. Why? Because there is magic in knowing what you don't want in life and with a little guidance you can reverse it to becoming crystal clear about what you do want to show up. This simple role reversal, if...
