A Work in Progress: My Personal and Professional Development Diary - Why do you hate your “here”?

Why do you hate your “here”?

01/09/22 • 56 min

A Work in Progress: My Personal and Professional Development Diary

It’s been a week since the start of the new year, and I’m already starting off shaky. Between COVID, a snow storm, work and the little struggles of life, I’ve found myself hating my “here”. Worst of all, the new year, new me rhetoric on social media has been making me discontent with my own life, instead of inspiring me to start or continue on my spiritual wellness journey. In today’s episode, we’ll talk about comparison, the growing pains of our 20s, and how God wants to develop us in private so we can effectively demonstrate our purpose in public.

KINGDOM KEYS

Surviving Redefining- Sarah Jakes Roberts - https://youtu.be/P-Vz-clTORI

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin....” Zechariah 4:10

“I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:12-13

Philippians 4:12-13 The Message Bible-

“Actually, I don’t have a sense of needing anything personally. I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.”

Prayer:

Lord, Help me to not seek approval from others, but from you alone. Show me how to be patient and open to the process of you approving me in private.

EPISODE AFFIRMATIONS

I am a confident, continuous work in progress.

I believe in myself and my ability to reach my full potential.

I believe in my ability to achieve whatever I set my mind to.

Today, I release my fears and open my mind to new possibilities.

I find harmony in the changes happening in my life.

I trust the process.

"A Year of Gratitude" Reflection

2021 feels like it was my “Job” year, where I was tested and tried on all sides. After a year of the lowest lows, I’m beginning my new year, reflecting on how I’ve graduated my faith through gratitude. In 2021, I learned that what I needed in my life wasn’t the next level of accomplishment, but the next level of appreciation for what I have because that will set the stage for me to make the most out of what I will accumulate in the future. Stay tuned to hear my year in review, and the word of 2022!

undefined - Remove the Time Limit Off Your Life

Remove the Time Limit Off Your Life

Last week, we talked about “hating your here” because of destination addiction. So ready for the next, I’m getting frustrated trying to understand the WHEN to God’s Plan. In this episode, I remanence on the times when I’ve waited well vs. when I impatiently persisted against God’s preference, and how I ultimately regret going against His will for my life. During my surgery day story-time, I realize how I have to be just as willing to be out of control, as I am in the procedure room, allowing God to use this season to build my faith, grow my trust and to shape my character.

It Had To Happen This Way | Dr. Khaalida Forbes - https://youtu.be/peu3cjUuqvA

“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Exodus 14:14

“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:31-33

EPISODE AFFIRMATIONS

I am content with where I am at the moment.

Everything that I need will be provided to me at the right time and the right place.

I am determined to be happy and content.

I dedicate time to my happiness and well-being.

I am content even when life isn't perfect.

I choose to be happy even in times of challenge or difficulty.
