Washday Talks

Forgiveness is a personal journey - a decision that we make to release someone from an unhealthy hold in our heart. Unforgiveness is the breeding ground for bitterness, resentment, and anger. It can poison our relationships with others and our relationship with ourself. Forgiveness doesn't require reconciliation, neither does it require you to forget the wrong done to you. It just requires that you let go, and it makes you all the better for doing so. You will be all the better for doing so - - - - - - Check Out Instagram Page "Washday Talks" for quotes from today's episode.

Watch today's episode on how to overcome comparison and jealousy when it comes to building up your talents and aspirations. There is no beneficial fruit in unhealthy comparison, it leads to the breakdown of relationships and dreams. If one does not master their emotions in the place of comparison, they are at risk of ruining everything they have worked for. We must learn to be content in our own journey. We must learn to stay in our Lane. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ora5/message

Join us in today's episode on the value of connections with our guest Toni! When I first met Toni I admired his ability to connect with people on a genuine level. In today's episode we discuss the importance of putting yourself into new environments and being intentional about the relationships we make and keep. Networking is more than just a corporate transaction - great benefits come from interacting with great people. It would be a shame to deny ourselves the opportunity to grow with others. When we show up, we do ourselves a big favour. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ora5/message

As long as we have a destination, we have a journey, and in this journeying we are developing and achieving things that are worthy of our recognition.

Shame is a mental hindrance that prevents us from trying again and approaching life with the best of what we have. Shame distorts our reality, redirecting our focus from the truth of life, to the negativity of our self-condemnation. Shame says everything is over, the reality is that we should be trying again. As long as we are alive there is always room to grow, and if we fully want to make a change, we need to come to the understanding that our past can never keep us in its shackles. Join me in today's podcast episode on the dangers of shame and the necessity of letting it go. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ora5/message

Love is shown in the hard times, because it is tested in the hard times. You can't have perfect love if there isn't some conflict. Or rather, you don't realise you have perfect love until some conflict arises. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ora5/message

We all have gifts and talents which we can use to impact the world, yet many of us keep them hidden for fear of judgement or due to our failure to truly acknowledge their relevance. It's often through meeting others who can see our talents that we learn how to use them. Sometimes people can notice things about us that we've never seen for ourselves. Let's try to affirm others, if we notice a strength in them let's draw their attention to it. Let us build each other up. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ora5/message

The season of preparation is a time period where we undergo circumstance where we acquire thing, lose things, and endure things. The ultimate purpose of a season of preparation is to teach you things. These seasons are inevitable in life and they equip us for future positions and occurrences. What distinguishes a season of preparation from one of struggle is our perspective. We can use our challenges to develop our character. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ora5/message

We all need mirrors to cover our blind spots. We have people in our lives who are loving enough to tell us the truth and we shouldn't take them for granted. We need to build up our tolerance for offense and learn to separate a kind word of truth from an attack on our character. Similarly we too shouldn't be afraid of telling those we love the truth. It's a blessing not many of us appreciate. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ora5/message

Stay and heal in a process of essential healing it is important that you do not run away lest you miss out on some key things.

An area of myself that I am working on is inconsitencies in my character, like I'm super bubbly this week then super quiet and shy next week. I want to be consistent and to stop allowing my emotions to rule me the way they do. I'm already making a lot of progress and I'm on my way to healing. Another thing I've realised these past few weeks is that I really like being affirmed in private, when people choose to spend time with me one on one - it makes my heart swirl. Can you relate?

Here we go again, another talk about being alone. Looking back on my relationships over the years I am reflecting on the ways in which I have allowed myself to feel isolated.

Do you put in the work? And if so, is it enough? We're always in seasons of preparation - times where we can learn and develop the skills and attitude needed for our next level. It's important that we use these seasons well. A revelation I've come across is that I'm obsessed with being loved by a big sister.
