Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

S04E37 - You’ve Been Prepared


Listen Later

A powerful way of opening your eyes to your potential is to step back to see how you’ve been prepared.  Today, McKay helps us understand that when we change our belief window to “I am prepared, I am ready for just a moment as this,” we can seize the opportunity and act with confidence.  It’s time to have faith and engage in a reappraisal of your life and your preparation, and that is precisely what our host helps you do in this week’s inspiring episode.

McKay discusses the preparedness of the scientists whose research proved efficient in the face of the pandemic. Their preparation ahead of the pandemic allowed the vaccines to become a reality in a short time. He then goes on to share further stories and insights regarding preparedness and the value it holds for us. Throughout today's episode, McKay challenges you to believe in your experience, build your confidence, have strong faith, and remember that 'the truth is you are prepared, and, when you are prepared, you can work miracles.'

The Finer Details of This Episode:

  • The preparedness that was needed for the COVID-19 vaccine to become a reality

  • What influences our perception?
  • Building your confidence

Quotes:

“Sometimes in life, we tend to bring too little too late to the party.”

“Perception is strongly affected by what we've experienced in the past, and our expectations of what we might experience in the future.”

“The great thing about a prepared view is that it removes doubt.”

“Don't ever doubt that things have been ordered and prepared for you.”

“Now I believe if we could see things as they really are, we would see that we have more going for us than we usually think. We have help and preparation and ability and support. Don't doubt your preparation.”

“When you feel discouraged and doubt, don't focus on what you have ahead of you. Instead, look back on what you've already accomplished.”

“When we're grateful for what we have for our preparation, it helps us focus on keeping our confidence and keeping our positivity about us.”
