The Thought Purpose Podcast

What if we looked at our struggles differently? What if instead of looking at our past and our struggles with shame, what if we looked at ourselves with pride for overcoming them? Give yourself some grace for whatever happens here and just know it is limited, and it is a test for what is to come next- eternity.

The world needs today's version of you. As we go through our journey- we need to allow the world to see our value for today's version of ourselves- hardships and all. People need your gifts- right now, today. If we allow ourselves to be seen in the journey, in the struggle, in the mud- we are giving others, who may be one step behind in their journey, hope.

Are you focusing on the door in front of you or the door behind you? Have you ever been in a space where you have moved out something, but not allowed yourself to fully move into something new? I call it the Hallway Space- give yourself the opportunity to realize that the door in front of you might not be the one that is supposed to open, maybe it is down the hall. Have the faith to find that door, and fully step through it.

Just because someone doesn't see your gifts doesn't mean you don't have any. God created you with treasure, go find your X marks the spot to uncover it.

Do you ever find yourself feeling like you're stuck and not moving forward? Sometimes we're not stuck, we're just in-between who we used to be and who we are becoming. That space can feel lonely and scary because we've never been there before and we don't know what to expect but if we allow ourselves the process we soon realize that a beautiful transformation is taking place. The version of you who gets you to the next level is being born, trust it.

You are the one who shows up for you everyday. You have to give yourself some grace, we can't sit here and feel like we have to hold it all all the time. We're human. We have to become friends with yourself, and talk to yourself like you're a friend. Be nice to you.

Do you every find yourself not making a decision because you're so busy thinking about what others might say? There are two types of people- people who are for you, and people who are against you. You have to ignore the critics are the sidelines, while you are on the field. Be for the people that are for you, and be for yourself.
