Putting Life in Perspective: Boundaries, Change & One Step at a Time


Listen Later

In this episode, we talk about perspective — how it changes as you get older, how life forces you to set boundaries, and why the things that once felt overwhelming don’t always carry the same weight anymore.

We reflect on faith, setbacks, and the reality that challenges don’t disappear — but your ability to handle them evolves. From selling our home and navigating unexpected obstacles, to learning when to pivot instead of panic, this conversation is about maturity, perseverance, and doing hard things one step at a time.

If you’re in a season of change, questioning your decisions, or feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate, this episode is a reminder: perspective comes with time — and progress comes from simply keeping going.

Takeaways:

  1. The passage of time and accumulated experiences significantly alter one's perspective on life's challenges.
  2. During youth, obstacles often appear insurmountable; maturity fosters resilience and wisdom in navigating difficulties.
  3. Setting boundaries evolves with age, leading to a refined understanding of what one can tolerate.
  4. Facing setbacks requires a pivoting mindset, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and progress.
  5. The mantra 'one step at a time' serves as a crucial survival strategy during overwhelming situations.
