We recently connected with Janeen Stokes and have shared our conversation below.
Janeen, thanks for taking the time to share your lessons with our community today. So, let’s jump right in – one of the most essential skills for unlocking our potential is self-discipline. Where does your self-discipline come from?
My self-discipline comes from overcoming obstacles on this journey called life and also studying ancient self-discipline techniques and putting them into practice. Buddhism and the art and practice of Samurai have also helped me with self-discipline.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I’m a multimedia artist. I’m also a chef, poet, model, actress, musician, and self-publishing author. I can sing jazz & opera. I can also speak a little Finnish. I’m also in the process of creating my own brand which is going to be my business. My brand is A boundary-breaking eco-conscious brand that fuses music, literature, fashion, and the paranormal to create unique experiences that defy convention. I’m multi-talented in every aspect of my life. I have the passion. I choose to upgrade myself my soul and my mind because I believe we’re here to change the world not just live in it. Hopefully one day someone will see my process and hopefully one day someone can get inspiration for what I have overcome in my life and it will make their life better. I’m here to bring inspiration, hope, compassion, and empathy.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
My advice would be to trust one’s intuition. One of the main qualities about myself I always trust my intuition. I never doubt myself even though other people might. Determination when you’ve lost hope. My determination is the greatest asset that I have for myself and other people I never stop trying even if I fail I never stop. Compassion for the people that have just got started. Last but not least compassion is one of the greatest strengths I have in myself. I believe that compassion for other people in oneself will change the world because compassion goes hand in hand with Integrity it goes hand in hand with strength & Trust, and the ability to foresee things before they happen. And to have compassion for other people even when they don’t have a good day even when they can’t see even when they’re struggling in life you have that compassion you have that empathy you have that Compassionate Heart.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
Yes I’m looking for a lot of people to collaborate with I’m very open-minded and my mindset is to change the world not only for myself but for other people as well I don’t keep myself in a box so to speak I’m a multi-dimensional artist therefore my mind and my perspective is open. I believe if you’re going to change the world you have to have a different mindset you have to take yourself out of the box and out of the reality you put yourself in therefore I’m willing to collaborate with many different people with many different mindsets and all walks of life.
