Episode 555: Challenge Accepted – Shining Bright

Let’s Talk About Lighting A Way

Summary:

Petrina shares the idea of people being able to share their positives with others and to join together with others for greater good. Petrina reminds us that like flames, people need a fuel source to sustain them and that over time the fuel source may vary. Petrina reminds us that when given the opportunity. Petrina encouraged listeners to share her message with others, so that they too can benefit from the message.

Notes:

The other day I was talking with someone who felt they weren’t having the amount of positive impact that they once had. But this person was still having positive impact and even inspiring others for positive impact.

I got to thinking about how brightly our lights shine and was reminded about the analogy of a flame. A flame can provide light and a flame can ignite other flames that provide greater light and still do not diminish the light of the initial flame. Of course, flames need a fuel source to sustain them. And so, it is with us as people. We give off more light when we shine together. Knowing this should help us to be intentional about sharing what we can to help ignite the possibilities in others.

Sometimes, we have seasons in life when our flame is leading the way – Trailblazers of sort. Other times our flame helps to ignite others and is combined with others to provide a brighter light that serves as a guiding light for others to find a way. Both leading the way and being a part of a brighter light are very important and valuable roles, that we shouldn’t discount.

We must be mindful that we have the fuel needed to feed our flames and that others are also able to fuel their flames. And it may be that there is a change in our fuel source – which is part of the process of sustaining growth. So, remember in order to keep shining brightly, ensure you have something that feeds your flame, and help those around you to ignite their flames of light when you have the opportunity. When we all shine brightly, we can all live more fulfilling lives.

Episode 554: Challenge Accepted – Priorities

Summary:

Petrina emphasized the importance of prioritizing in order to achieve successful and efficient living. She uses a metaphor of a jar filled with rocks, pebbles, and sand to illustrate how priorities should be arranged, with the large rocks representing the most important things in life such as relationships and the sand representing the least important things. Petrina encouraged everyone to take time to prioritize and share these messages with others for their learning journey.

Notes:

Priorities can be a challenging thing to sort out, but in order for us to get the most out of life, it’s important for us to figure out priorities.

Rock, Pebbles, Sand Jar Example of Prioritizing

1. The rocks represent the biggest and most important people, relationships, and things in your life.

2. The pebbles signify things that are important to you, but not essential.

Take some time to prioritize what matters most in your life, and re-evaluate as the seasons of your life change.

When we extend respect to others, we can help them to realize the positive internal power that they have within, should they choose to access and develop it.

When respect is reciprocated it creates a path for understanding, exchange of ideas, and positive forward momentum. So when tempted to bypass respect, instead

Notes:

Have you ever regretted maintaining self-control of your emotions and behaviors? I’m guessing most of us can answer “no” to that question.

On a regular basis, I have a chance to interact with people who have failed the challenge of self-restraint and self-control.  Unfortunately, we cannot go back in time, and

The good news is that self-control, is something we can plan for and practice. We can work on our mindset to determine that we will maintain intentional control of our actions and not let the actions of others influence our emotions to the point of losing control.  Now this
