    Hello, People of Purpose!
    Allow Torrie founder of Our Given Purpose® to help you gain clarity, organize your thoughts, and prepare to walk boldly in your purpose! Let me help you C.O.P. your purpose. 
    The Message:
    Present Moment Awareness: How COVID19 Impacted My Life, In today’s episode, we will C.O.P. our purpose by listening to a few special guests share their perspectives. We can gain clarity through the experience of others; some may say this is a wise practice.  I hope that as we continue throughout this year, you will understand the benefit of training your mind to be under your control and not at the whim of every event that happens in life. Preparation requires foreknowledge we prepare by creating pause points- ask yourself: Can I articulate what I want? It is O.K. to check in with yourself and process the information.  To be transformed by the renewing of our minds means we must do our work. Clarifying, organizing, and preparing to do our assignment each day takes strategic planning with God.

    As you listen to Present Moment Awareness: How COVID19 Impacted My Life What did you hear that made you: Oh, Ah, or pause and ponder? Keep the conversation going by sharing this episode with a friend. Talk about what sparked a curiosity within you. The title of this Podcast includes a term that is unfamiliar to some. In today’s society, it is almost effortless to get distracted by our thoughts or spiral down in anxiousness, negativity, or be downright rude to ourselves. Being present means, you are listening and engaging with the now. Autopilot is a real challenge in our lives. Not remembering how you got to your destination, not recalling what you needed to do or responding to someone based on your previous negative experiences versus what positive things you learned from it. Before you speak or move into action, ask yourself if you are fully aware of what is happening.

  • Does Arrogance Make Cent

    SHOW NOTES:
    www.OurGivenPurpose.com
    Start at the beginning! Elements of Anger (12-Week Session)

    Hello, People of Purpose!
    Allow Our Given Purpose® to help you gain clarity, organize your thoughts, and prepare to walk boldly in your purpose! Let me help you C.O.P. your purpose. 
    The Message:
    Does Arrogance Make Cents?, Unwillingness to identify what is blocking us from living our given purpose® ultimately suffocates life. I pray you are influenced to dig deeper into your why, get nosey about your inner workings, and reevaluate the worthiness of your limiting beliefs. We do not want our Lord and Savior to return, finding us in the same state of rebellion or wickedness. To be transformed by the renewing of our minds means we must do our work. Clarifying, organizing, and preparing to do our assignment each day takes strategic planning with God. 
    Take Action
    As you listen to Does Arrogance Make Cents?
    Pride steals hopes, ideals, aspirations, and goals. I call it being comfortably complacent. Compounding the problem and increasing the likeliness of death to a dream. Unfortunately, if we don’t learn how to communicate with ourselves and shut down the inner critic, we live a life of rebellious regret. Three steps to gaining control over arrogance, pride,  or any emotion. We do this by first creating a routine with God. Second, visualize the emotion. Reflect by writing down how we behaved and what we thought when under stress. Finally, ask what you can learn. 
     ~Torrie
