Audacity - The Podcast With Varian Brandon

Grace does not release you from accountability. It doesn’t get you off the hook for aligning with God.

  There is a cost to becoming and you have to negotiate your cost!

In order to begin cultivating your identity in a new way, a way that aligns with who you intend to become, you need to look for your identity gaps.

You have to learn how to manage the moment because every moment that you manage makes you a match for the next moment.

The more your character is upleveled, the more your capacity is expanded and the more you can handle.

To leave solid ground of the familiar and go to the shaky ground of the new is a courageous act.

When you start to "become", you change, but the things around you remain the same.

We experience change as an exception instead of the rule. And because we experience change as an exception, it bothers us when there is change. Change is the Rule if you are going to commit to becoming. Expect turbulence when that process begins!

As you continue to grow and expand, people are not going to recognize you!

As you are creating this life that you desire, have an anchoring of things that are to come; it allows you to keep the vision very present

Your words are like a construction crew, and they are going out into your future and building what you say.

Stop fighting against yourself, and allow yourself to be in flow!

If you are listening to this episode, it means you have something to be thankful for. Something to celebrate about. Happy new year!

One of the most dangerous places to be in 2021 is in your mind by yourself.

Forgiveness is a way to allow yourself to be free from the impact of harboring your feelings or hurt or anger in your heart against another person.

If we are not careful, we will let an old version of ourselves hinder our expansion, our rise, and our destiny.

Do not go to 2021 uncovered; for what you get to do is going to require that you rest in the safety of knowing that there is someone watching your back!

The only way that you can become the best of you, is to embrace ALL OF YOU!

Let your living, and expansion be an exposé of God’s creative mastery lived through you. 

As an entrepreneur, you get to fund your own authenticity and at the same time, your authenticity funds your business.

You don’t get to make money as an entrepreneur without getting to confront what holds most people back.

Names are powerful!

Money likes to be pursued. Money likes to be courted.

Your identity as a perfectionist is imprisoning you to what has been in the past.

You are already ready for the first step: take it!

There is so much more available to you, only if you keep going.

Being able to have access to your emotions makes you a whole human being.

Are you willing to be hated for what you believe in?

No matter how dark the season is, there is going to come a time when the light will show up again.

Where there’s space, there’s creativity and inspiration.

Understanding your perspective does not necessarily mean I am going to agree. I can hold my conviction in place without making you lose yours.

Practice becoming an expression of what you have intentionally integrated, not what you've unconsciously absorbed.

Take inspiration from what you see, not comparison.

Did you know that you can do something bad and not be bad?

The whole point of taking in information is implementing it. Implementing one thing is important that knowing ten things.

The old way helps no one to rise. It will only kill you if you don’t kill it first.

Don't let whatever happens on November 3rd change who you are!

The stories that you create for yourself today are the experiences of life that you step into tomorrow

The only way that you are going to get confident is by doing the things you want to do. 

Anytime we are suppressing the authenticity of who we are in thought, word, or deed, we are expending much more energy than what really want to.

Would you confidently say you are living your best life? 

Do not leave your inspiration to chance because inspiration is fuel to an entrepreneur.

The confusion between rights and responsibilities 

Needing to be liked will sabotage everything you were sent to this earth to do if you let it. It will minimize your experience of life to that which people think is acceptable, appropriate, and available.

Allow yourself to be free in all aspects of yourself. Do not chain yourself to your own expectations!

Is there more content you can put out to the world? What if you considered that you creating content is also a way of you creating posterity and legacy? Would you do it more often? Would you put more thought into it?

Are there areas in your life where you are using your keys inappropriately and still blaming the keys?

What aren't you saying, that needs to be said? What aren't you doing, that needs to be done? What aren't you being, that needs to be? Every time you censor yourself, you give up a piece of your future that you may never even know that you gave up.

You can be inauthentic and still be authentic. Yes, you read that right! Listen to this episode to find out how this is possible!

Nobody really cares about what you have to teach, unless you lead with truth. Do you?

Everything begins from nothing; when we want to write, the page is blank, when we want to create, the space is blank. The big question is, d we have the faith to still move in the nothingness in order for the something to present itself?
