Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to live a life that pleases God? In a world where most people are fixated on pleasing themselves, this timely episode explores the profound difference between self-satisfaction and divine approval.Helena and Glynis Langley guide listeners through a compelling biblical study on making God's pleasure our highest ambition. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:9 and the powerful example of Jesus who declared, "I always do those things that please Him," they unveil five essential conditions for a life that honors God.The journey begins with spiritual rebirth, as Romans 8:8 plainly states that "those who are in the flesh cannot please God." This foundation leads naturally to the second condition – separation from sinful influences that entangle believers in their spiritual warfare. The hosts then explore the transformative power of complete dedication, referencing Romans 12:1's call to present our bodies as living sacrifices.Particularly moving is their examination of Enoch, who "walked with God" and "had this testimony, that he pleased God" so completely that he never experienced death. This ancient example provides a powerful template for modern believers seeking similar divine approval.The final sections on witnessing and obedience drive home the practical implications of prioritizing God's pleasure. As 1 Samuel 15:22 declares, "to obey is better than sacrifice" – a truth that challenges every listener to examine their own spiritual priorities.Whether you're struggling with worldly entanglements or seeking to deepen your walk with God, this episode offers clear biblical guidance on trading self-satisfaction for the deeper fulfillment of pleasing your Creator.

  Hey y'all, welcome back to the Designed for the Creative Mind Podcast! I'm so glad you're here. We're kicking off a brand new season: Rookie Mistakes and Real Talk — where I'm mixing up business blunders and behind-the-scenes truths from running an interior design firm. Today's episode is for every designer who's ever said “yes” when they really wanted to scream “oh hell no” — and then paid the price for it. We're diving into the sneaky ways people pleasing shows up in client relationships, why it's so damaging to your business, and how to set boundaries like the confident CEO you are (even if you feel a little nasally like I do — thanks, Texas allergies!). What we cover in this episode: What people pleasing actually looks like in an interior design business How saying "yes" all the time leads to scope creep, burnout, and resentment Why being liked is not the same as being trusted — and why trust matters more Real talk about the mindset shift from being "kind" to being a true leader A story about my client Claire, who broke the people-pleasing cycle (and how you can too) Practical examples of how to set confident, kind boundaries without feeling pushy Why you are a business, not a bestie (and why that's a GOOD thing!) Big takeaway: Running your business with clear leadership and boundaries doesn't make you mean — it makes you trustworthy. Your clients want you to lead them. If you're bending over backwards for approval, it's time to rethink it. Being liked isn't nearly as valuable as being trusted. If this episode hit home for you: Take a screenshot and share the one boundary you're going to practice this week! Tag me on Instagram at @designedforthecreativemind or come share in our Facebook group, The Interior Designers' Business Launchpad. I would love to cheer you on! And if you loved what you heard, don't keep it to yourself — send this episode to a fellow designer who could use a little nudge, and leave a review wherever you're listening. Your reviews seriously help this show grow, and I appreciate every single one. Coming up next week: We're tackling why shopping retail could be wrecking your profits and how to explain trade pricing without sounding defensive. You definitely don't want to miss it. Remember: Success doesn't happen by chance — it happens by design. Keep designing your business with intention.

We get it. It's tempting to ask the people closest to us (and sometimes strangers on the internet) what we should do… for every single decision we have to make. But is this really what's best for us?On this week's episode, we're discussing the drawbacks of outsourcing our power to other people. Why do we trust everyone else on the planet more than we trust ourselves? How can we learn to listen to our own intuition, sort through advice from other people, and take actions that move us towards the life we desire?The truth is that other people are only able to tell you how they see it. Their perspective is clouded by their own life experiences and circumstances, and those oftentimes don't align with our own. If you're looking to stop wasting time asking other people for advice and are ready to start taking action moving towards the one you desire, press play. Our perspective may be just the thing you need to get started.Takeaways:The societal norm encourages seeking validation from others.Listening to oneself is often overlooked in favor of external advice.The cost of ignoring self-trust can be significant.Quiet reflection is necessary to hear our inner voice.Pleasing everyone is impossible and can lead to dissatisfaction.Trusting ourselves can enhance our relationships with others.Self-trust is a lifelong journey that can start at any moment.Chapters:11:00 Navigating External Advice vs. Internal Wisdom21:40 Building Trust in Ourselves23:05 A Pivotal Moment: Learning to Trust Yourself31:06 Navigating Health and Self-Care34:03 The Importance of Quiet and Reflection37:17 Shortening the Gap Between Knowing and DoingLove,Meg & MaggiFollow us:⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube ⁠[self-trust, personal growth, decision making, advice, inner voice, self-awareness, mental health, Glennon Doyle, Untamed, personal development]Music curtesy of LiQWYD

You can't please everyone, nor should you seek to, because then you won't please anyone, least of all yourself. When actor Dylan Moran dispensed that bit of wisdom, he probably wasn't aware of how aptly it applied to highly selective admissions. Amy and Mike invited education consultant Feiyang Liu to highlight the troubling college pleasing epidemic. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What is college pleasing, and where does it originate from? How can students, parents, and educators spot signs of college pleasing? What are the hidden costs of college pleasing, both in the admissions process and in students' long-term development? How does people-pleasing in general contribute to the college-pleasing mindset, and how can students learn to prioritize their own needs? How can students shift their mindset from what colleges want to what actually excites and fulfills me? MEET OUR GUEST As a naturally introverted high school student, Feiyang Liu felt immense pressure to adopt a bubbly, inauthentic persona for his college applications. This led to a lack of fulfillment and a realization that pretending to be someone he wasn't came with significant consequences. After graduating from UCLA with a degree in Political Science and from USC with a Master's in Education (Enrollment Management and Policy), he grappled with people-pleasing while working in admissions and student services at UC Berkeley from 2019 to 2023. The burnout from constantly putting others' expectations above his own led to a pivotal moment of self-reflection. In 2023, Feiyang relocated to New York, where he finally had the space to rethink my identity and values. This journey of self-discovery ignited a passion for genuine mentoring and ultimately led him to found Your Epic Consulting. His mission is to help students avoid the trap of "college pleasing" and instead showcase their true selves in their applications. Feiyang combined his personal experiences and professional expertise to guide students toward holistic success. At Your Epic Consulting, they don't coach you to say what 'sounds good' for college admissions. Instead, they empower you to express your authentic self, ensuring that self-acceptance and college acceptance go hand in hand.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. I'm glad I'm here with you! I'll tell my impressions on things of my Brazilian country. Pardon me for some high-volume transitions ! Trying and testing the brickabrackis ( possibilities ). Pleasing or not. Thanks! Topics: 1- Sistema Único de Saúde (the national health system) Works! Any citizen, any person, has access to health treatment: no payment, no check if the person has payed taxes on anything, if is a worker or not. Of course, waiting time might be a problem if it's not an urgency or emergency, and quality varies (as any service, paid or not), according to city (capital or country town, more structured or smaller cities), hospital, the specific doctor and support team etc. 2- Tap water The water from the tap is safe, recognized as drinking water (in my city, and maybe in many if not most). The water treatment company ("Sanepar") here even sells their water bottled, and sponsors events that distribute them (sports events) to show the quality. But people don't use to drink from the tap it directly. If they do not use a filter, it's common to buy water in 20 liters carboys (big plastic bottles, 20L is a bit more than 5 gallons) . I use this last option, but drink water under the shower also. Most people (that I know, of course) simply don't drink water ! I don't know. I don't understand how it is, but they don't drink water, not even a liter per day. Coffee and soda are the most common "substitutes". 3- Religion numbers Statistics about religion are very misleading. You can find different numbers but it's generally: more than half identifying as Catholics. More than 20% evangelical, 10% without religion. But those numbers say nothing about reality of what you find in the streets. Maybe because in some areas it's embarassing to identify as an atheist, as if you're immoral and cannot be trusted; so, people without religion simply say the religion of the family, or the generic "catholic, non-practicing". 4- Brazilian Law Our law is written and detailed. Everything you could want to know about our judicial system, our rights and etc. are explicit in laws; and our Constitution, in force since 1988, with more than 200 articles, guides all. The Supreme Court can make and change interpretations and, thus, issue binding decisions that are not seem in the law, but this is the exception. Cover of the official edition of the Brazilian Constitution in the English Language. (Source: https://www.stf.jus.br/arquivo/cms/legislacaoConstituicao/anexo/Brazil_Federal_Constitution_EC_125.pdf. Accessed on February 2025.) Most of the norms are federal and encompass the entire nation: it is a reason we are so "equal", in many senses, while living in a country with 212 million people (official estimation of IBGE, July 1st 2024 * ) and that represents 48% of the size of South America. 5- Now something very specific to my city, a capital city on the south of the country It's not expected to say Good morning when you cross with a stranger on the street. No Hello or Good morning to the bus driver also. I mean, a lot of people greet, but many don't and it's common to not do so. In many other parts of the country, of course, it's different. For example, I lived in a capital city on the north, and everybody expected you to say Good Morning! when entering an elevator in the morning, behavior that generally makes people think you're strange here in my southern city. If I ask for the name of a seller on a store, to be more polite saying his or her name occasionally if I am making a lot of questions and demanding more attention time, they ask, you're not from here are you? And I am. If anything here sounds not good, please reject and keep the good. It's only impressions that I wanted to share. Thank you. * This news in English: From: Agência IBGE.

A recent presentation showcased a diverse array of some 35 games coming to PlayStation 5 over the next couple of years. But -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- that hasn't stopped boo-birds from raining down upon Sony yet again, at least from some particularly loud corners. It seems that some people will literally never be satisfied, no matter what. But for those who are looking forward to new games to play, there was much to be excited about in the form of Lost Soul Aside, Metal Eden, Borderlands 4, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Hell Is Us, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Days Gone Remastered, Tides of Annihilation, and even a brand new Housemarque PS5-exclusive called Saros, amongst much more. This week, we take time to delve into everything discussed during the newest State of Play, and dive into a bunch of other news too. Sony's quarterly financials are out, and PS5 sales are booming, reaching 75 million sold and counting. Meanwhile, Astro Bot is getting even more free DLC, God of War may be reverting to its Greek roots, Resistance and The Order are likely permanently dead, Twisted Metal returns to Peacock this summer, and so on. Then: Listener inquiries! Is Kendrick Lamar a PlayStation nerd? Does HDR even do anything? Why aren't more old folks playing games? Should Colin just retire? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
