The world can see everything in a negative light including its view of you.  That doesn't mean you have to view yourself that way.  Speak well of yourself in spite of the negativity you hear every day.  

One area I have struggled in is having high expectations and I realized it was rooted in the fear of being disappointed.  I would rather not expect anything than to expect something good and not receive it.  In this episode, I discuss how I am overcoming the fear of disappointment and raising my expectations.  

Growth sometimes requires taking the unbeaten path.  

When you want something it is easy to look for someone's plan to follow but where you are going there is no path paved yet.  

You can't outwork God's grace.  

I can be obsessive about my goals but the more I am desperate to reach them the more I push them away.  There is joy in knowing what you want but you don't have to be desperate to receive it.  You have to have faith and relax. 

If you are doing things for validation. Listen to this. 

Social Media can have a hold on our lives.  It can be a benefit when used in moderation, but not everything needs to be shared.  Keep your dreams close to your dream and don't get stuck in idle.  

Expectations can be a good thing but they also can be a burden.  Learning to have expectations but let them go will allow you to experience a greater capacity of love.  

Can you handle the truth?  The truth is we can get so stagnate in our comfort zone that we don't see beyond it.  Our imagination is fueled by what we see instead of an amazing world beyond it.
