Everyone finds themselves in the middle throughout life. We mature in the middle. We learn in the middle. We cry in the middle and we laugh in the middle. Simply put, LIFE happens in the middle. This life can be messy, tough, exhausting, and more - especially in the middle. But we have a choice: embrace it or run from it. What will you choose? Join David Raymond as we explore this messy thing called life and how we embrace what the middle has for us.
If you're tired of starting over, then stop quitting. This week, we discuss how to keep showing up and push to meet our goals. I discuss a recent change that I've made and the journey I've been on for the last 23 days after deciding to stop quitting. Secure your ticket to my new workshop: Acknowledge, Accept, & Anticipate: A Roadmap To Your Future at https://davidraymondonline.com/workshops. Through this workshop we will discuss how we can acknowledge the events and failures of the past, accept their place in our story, and how we can use them to anticipate a future that is filled with hope. Regardless of the details of what has happened in life, your story is yours for a reason and it's time to embrace it.

Today we talk about knowing and believing who God says we are. If we're not careful, we can listen too much to what the world tells us who we are and not listen to who God says we are. Everyone has an opinion about us and who we should be but what God says is the most important and all we really need to worry about.
