Stop Doubting Your Dream

Let’s talk about impostor syndrome. It seems we all face it at some point during our lives, and lately, it’s almost like everyone has the same fears of being inadequate. Am I doing my job right?

 As humans, we have the incredible gift of being able to “feel all the feelings.” Moments of great joy, great sadness, all of these are wonderful things. However, letting our feelings and letting our emotions out of our control can also have negative effects on not just us, but those around us. We must understand how to navigate our feelings, and direct them in the directions that best work for our dream. Self-awareness and self-regulation are but two of the most important tools in the path to control our emotions. It is by looking at the mirror (seeing the plank in our own eye), that we can make moves away from obstacles in our lives, or potential stressors (taking the speck out of your brother’s eye). We’ll take a look at the Jesus’ Way and what He can teach us about regulating our emotions to succeed.  NUBvOFYeVLSprBYQrRZe If you’ve connected with this episode in some way, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.

Any journey, any path, any goal you’re trying to reach will often be met with failure.

The Man In The Mirror: How Self-reflection Helps You Grow & Succeed   It’s the beginning of a new year, and there’s no better time than now to look back and reflect on all of the things that shaped us for the better… and for the worse. These are times of self-reflection, but we shouldn’t limit ourselves to once-a-year, new year resolution self-assessment. Rather, self-reflection should be a constant mental exercise that, just like its physical counterpart, must be trained with discipline.   Everyone can take advantage of self-reflection, and this look deep into ourselves can and must happen often. Believe it or not, the path to solving exterior problems and stressors almost always begins with a look inward. So let’s start off the year with the right foot and get excited to meet that man in the mirror.   BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:    The importance of self-reflection and its benefits for our self-awareness, personal growth, and decision-making, and how establishing self-reflection as part of our daily routine can be one of the best habits to implement for this new year.   How self-reflection is always an active choice, one that we must always train to be sharp and powerful. It’s not enough to be passive about it; self-reflection can actively become a part of every aspect of our lives.   What the life of Jesus Christ can teach us about self-reflection, and how by following His example, we too can find the emotional solace we have always been looking for.

The Art of Gratitude, It’s Not Just For Thanksgiving Anymore!   Thanksgiving is a beautiful time of year where we get to look back and express our gratitude to all the people and things that have helped us on our path. The fact we have made this day into a national holiday is very special, because, in a way, we’re societally encouraged to reflect on everything and everyone that we should be thankful for.   Gratitude was never intended to be a one-day, mandated experience. Rather, gratitude is a gift and an art form that we can and should master. Taking time each day to practice gratitude can help us look inward and recognize where we are in our journey, identifying all the ways we have succeeded, as well as all the ways we can still continue to grow and learn.   BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:    Why the act of practicing gratitude and giving thanks should extend beyond just the holiday season, becoming an integral part of our daily routine.

Is the Time Right To Pursue Your Dream? (And, What To Do If It Isn’t) with The Skit Guys   When should I start pursuing my dream? When can I hop on the path toward success, and who should I bring with me? Life has many twists and turns, and you may not know when exactly to jump on the train toward your dream. But, understanding where you are and knowing where you want to be can be a guiding light to nurturing your success.   For Tommy Woodard and Eddie James (A.K.A. The Skit Guys), they got the answer when they met in high school. Throughout their lives and ministry, they’ve encountered the expected ups and downs, but understood the power of saying yes to your dream anyway. Putting your trust in your dream and in yourself is the key to success, and with that foundation God can make it true. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:    Dreams only happen while others are dreaming. Of course, after a long day the only thing most of us will want to do is to sleep. But in knowing that following our dreams we’ll often encounter an uphill, countercurrent path, we should not let that dissuade us.   At the end of the day, we’re all the perfect creations of God, and as such, each one of us could receive a vision from Him to follow our dreams. Remember that we all owe it to ourselves to go for it. Your dream might currently be nothing more than just a beautiful sentiment, but the Skit Guys are here to give you the encouragement you need to take that one step and begin the long journey to achieving your dream.

Moving out of the routine could be the only way to realize what you were doing before was not efficient or beneficial to achieving your goals. How to be less afraid of trying new, crazy things. What is keeping you from speaking your heart? What is keeping you from trying new things and opening yourself up to new and challenging worldviews?

SHOW SUMMARY FOR BUZZSPROUT   Bad habits, when left unchecked, can be the greatest enemy for progress. In this episode we talk about self-destructive behaviors and how negative mindsets reduce our energy and motivation to take the necessary steps for achieving our goals.    As trapped as we may feel, there are strategies we can apply in our daily lives to free us from our bad habits. And throughout that entire process we need to remember that we’re never alone. Sometimes, we must be vulnerable and open up to others, even if we think we can go through this road alone.   The key strategy to dealing with bad habits is not in elimination, but rather, replacing. We must identify the cues that are causing these bad habits to occur. Then, replace the bad with positive behavior, just to reward it. This way, the bad habit will, over time, be replaced with a good one, almost without even noticing it   BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:    Everyone has the power to change. As much as it may feel like a bad habit or self-destructive behavior is dragging you along, ultimately you have so much more agency than you may initially think. You may have forgotten it along the way, but the reins were always in your hands.   There are six actionable steps you can take to remedy bad habits. These are all  “customizable” for every different person and situation, but they’re a roadmap to help brainstorm your own ways to achieve self-improvement.   At the end of the day, moving forward from bad habits requires a great deal of self-reflection. We must take a look in the mirror and see what we don’t like. Only then can we improve. As such, we must have regular check-ins with ourselves, and if necessary, bring others into that journey of self-reflection.   If you’ve connected with this episode in some way, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.
