Another Beautiful Life

The past couple of weeks we’ve done a Life Assessment and set goals and intentions to improve specific areas of our life. But statistics show you may begin losing motivation soon and not reach your goal at all! 

This episode dives deep into understanding motivation not just as a feeling but as a psychological process influenced by thoughts, priorities, and purpose. Discover how your thoughts, choices, and faith shape your motivation and create a life aligned with your God-given purpose.

January is when most people regularly take an assessment of their life and reset. A life-assessment is eye-opening for so many. Mainly because most people don’t do this each year. They just roll into the next year, carrying in old baggage not realizing they have the power to leave it at the door. Most people also start the year feeling some dread because they don’t know that they have so much more power to change their life, and they’ve just been living at the effect of their default brain all this time. 

Today I’m going to take you – step by step - through the Life Assessment exercise, assessing 12 specific areas, so you can begin to change your life to live more fully and abundantly in 2025.

SHOW NOTES: 

Do you feel sad and blue after Christmas? Do you know why? Do you want to feel differently?

What is the magnifying glass you are looking through? Is it your thoughts about your pain, loss, tragedy, fear, loneliness, etc that’s making you feel sad and melancholy? Or is there a different lens to look through that magnifies something better, more helpful, more true?

Today, we talk about how to start 2025 by looking through the right magnifier of your life.

What is your first reaction when things that happen are unexpected…and most unwanted? Do you get angry? Frustrated? Does it leave you feeling despondent? 

God has a reason for all things. When things are unexpected, we can be sure that in it He’s trying to teach us, create something in us, or provide for us. This is the time to look deeper into the situation; to look beyond what the natural eyes can see; to find Him giving you what you desperately need.

Last week I was talking about the power of thankfulness and the impact it has on our life – physically, relationally, emotionally, and spiritually. I mentioned the Apostle Paul as a beautiful example of one who continuously gave thanks to God right in the middle of his suffering, and the supernatural results he experienced because of that thankfulness.  

He was bound with chains in a dark prison cell. And he began to sing songs of worship to God. Boy, how I would have loved to have heard those songs. Wouldn’t you? Regardless of his present circumstances, Paul was expressing his trust and faith in an awesome and worship-worthy God. 

When you are suffering, it may be hard to find your “thankfulness.” And you might ask, “why on earth do I even need to? Can’t I just have a minute here to be really sad?” Well, yes. Do that. But don’t stay stuck there.  

Thankfulness lowers feelings of depression and anxiety, bolsters resiliency, fosters higher self-esteem, and supports physical health and well-being.
