คอลัมน์ “สดแต่เช้า”ปีที่4 (323) จงให้เกียรติตัวเอง ก่อนที่จะให้เกียรติคนอื่น! “จงให้เกียรติทุกคน จงรักพวกพี่น้อง จงยำเกรงพระเจ้า จงถวายเกียรติแด่จักรพรรดิ” ~‭‭1 เปโตร‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ “Show respect for all people [treat them honorably], love the brotherhood [of believers], fear God, honor the king.”‭‭ ~1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬ ‭AMP‬‬ คุณเห็นด้วยหรือไม่ว่า “การให้เกียรติเป็นการแสดงออกที่ยิ่งใหญ่ที่สุดของความรัก!” "Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love." — Don Miguel Ruiz และคุณเห็นด้วย อีกหรือไม่ที่ว่า “ฉันไม่สนหรอกว่าคุณจะชอบหรือไม่ชอบฉัน ทั้งหมดที่ฉันขอก็คือ คุณจงให้เกียรติฉันในฐานะเป็นมนุษย์คนหนึ่ง!” "I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being." — Jackie Robinson ใช่ครับทุกคน ตั้งแต่ขอทานผู้ยากจน จนถึงพระมหากษัตริย์ผู้ทรงมั่งคั่ง คนทุกคนล้วนต้องการ การให้เกียรติต่อเขาหรือต่อพระองค์! แต่แท้จริงแล้ว ก่อนที่เราจะเรียกร้องให้ใครให้เกียรติกับเรา เราต้องรู้จักให้เกียรติแก่ตัวของเราเองก่อน! เหมือนคำกล่าวที่ว่า“ถ้าคุณต้องการให้คนอื่นให้เกียรติแก่คุณ สิ่งสำคัญก็คือจงให้เกียรติตัวคุณเองก่อนเพราะมีแต่โดยการให้เกียรติตัวคุณเองเท่านั้น คุณจึงจะทำให้คนอื่นยอมให้เกียรติแก่คุณ!”"If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky ขอพูดซ้ำอีกครั้งว่า การให้เกียรติตัวเราเอง และการให้เกียรติผู้อื่นนั้น สำคัญยิ่งเพราะว่า “การให้เกียรติตัวเอง จะนำให้เรามีศีลธรรม การให้เกียรติคนอื่น จะนำให้เรามีมารยาท!” "Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners." — Laurence Sterne ด้วยเหตุนี้ อย่าให้เราทำอะไร ที่ทำให้ตัวเอง1).ไม่มีเกียรติ 2).ไม่คู่ควรกับเกียรติ 3).เสื่อมและเสียเกียรติที่ได้รับมา หรือ4).ไปหลู่เกียรติผู้อื่น และหากว่าเราอยู่ในสภาวะใดสภาวะหนึ่งเช่นนั้น “เราต้องปรับปรุงแก้ไข ไม่ใช่เอาแต่แก้ตัว เราต้องแสวงหาการคู่ควรกับเกียรติ ไม่ใช่หาแต่ความสนใจ!”"Make improvements, not excuses. Seek respect, not attention." — Roy T. Bennett ดังนั้นพี่น้องที่รักเวลานี้ ให้เรามา1.พูดจา หรือโพสต์ 2.แสดงออก หรือ3.กระทำ ทุกสิ่งที่ 1).ให้เกียรติตัวเราเอง และ 2).ให้เกียรติผู้อื่น ที่ทำให้ตัวเราและทุกๆคนล้วนมีความสุขและความยินดี …จะดีไหมครับ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ธงชัย ประดับชนานุรัตน์16กุมภาพันธ์2025 #YoutubeCJCONNECT #thongchaibsc#คริสตจักรแห่งความรัก #churchoflove #ShareTheLoveForward #ChurchOfJoy #คริสตจักรแห่งความสุข #NimitmaiChristianChurch #คริสตจักรนิมิตใหม่ #ฮักกัยประเทศไทย #อัลฟ่า #หนึ่งล้านความ

Welcome back to the first episode of 2025! On today's episode we are talking about how to thrive in 2025! One thing to do is to leave behind the thoughts and things that don't serve you, that don't help you, the thoughts that hold you back.In order to move forward with confidence in 2025, we can leave behind self-doubt. We can leave behind the negative thoughts that tell us that we're not capable. The ones that tell us how we won't make it through this. We need to let go of the belief in those thoughts.Let the hurtful talk go.And remember this quote by Roy T Bennett that says:“Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself. Believe in yourself, your abilities and your own potential. Never let self-doubt hold you captive. You are worthy of all that you dream of and hope for.” Believe this and just see where 2025 takes you!

Do what it says.”‭‭ ~James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬ อาจารย์ยากอบน้องชายของพระเยซูเจ้า กล่าวว่า “อย่าเพียงแต่ฟังพระวจนะซึ่งเป็นการหลอกตัวเอง แต่ จงปฏิบัติตามพระวจนะนั้น!“ ท่านเตือนต่อไปว่า ”ผู้ใดที่ฟังพระวจนะแต่ไม่ได้ทำตาม ผู้นั้นก็เป็นเหมือนคนที่ 1).ส่องกระจกมองหน้าตัวเอง 2).หลังจากส่องดูแล้วก็ไป และ ทันใดนั้นก็ลืมว่าหน้าตาตนเองเป็นอย่างไร ส่วนผู้ที่ 1).พินิจดูบทบัญญัติอันสมบูรณ์ซึ่งให้เสรีภาพและ 2).ทำสิ่งนี้ต่อไปโดยไม่ลืมสิ่งที่เขาได้ยิน แต่ปฏิบัติตาม เขาก็จะได้รับพรในสิ่งที่ตนทำ”‭‭ ~ยากอบ‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭TNCV‬‬ ดังนั้นน้องที่รัก อย่าให้เราเป็นเพียงแค่คนที่ ทำบางอย่างที่ดี แต่ไม่ทำให้สุด คือไม่ทำให้สมบูรณ์ ทั้งๆที่ทำได้! ผมชอบข้อเขียนของ Roy T Bennett ที่ว่า“Don't just learn,experience.อย่าเพียงแค่เรียน แต่จงมีประสบการณ์กับสิ่งที่เรียนDon't just read,absob.อย่าเพียงแค่อ่าน แต่จงซึมซับในสิ่งที่อ่านDon't just change, transform.อย่าเพียงแค่เปลี่ยน แต่จงรับการเปลี่ยนใหม่อย่างสิ้นเชิงDon't just relate, advocate. อย่าเพียงแค่สัมพันธ์เกี่ยวข้อง แต่จงสนับสนุนช่วยเหลือDon't just promise,prove.อย่าเพียงแค่สัญญา แต่จงพิสูจน์ให้เห็นตามสัญญาDon't just criticize,encourage.อย่าเพียงแค่วิพากษ์วิจารณ์ แต่จงหนุนใจเตือนสติDon't just think,ponder.อย่าเพียงแค่คิด แต่จงใคร่ครวญไตร่ตรองDon't just take,give.อย่าเพียงแค่รับไว้ แต่จงให้ออกไปDon't just see,feel.อย่าเพียงแค่มองดู แต่จงมีความรู้สึกร่วมด้วยDon't just dream,do.อย่าเพียงแค่ฝัน แต่จงทำตามฝันนั้นด้วยDon't just hear,listen.อย่าเพียงแค่ได้ยิน แต่จงตั้งใจฟังDon't just talk,act.อย่าเพียงแค่พูด แต่จงลงมือกระทำออกมาDon't just tell, show.อย่าเพียงแค่บอก แต่จงสำแดงให้เห็นDon't just exist,live.อย่าเพียงแค่มีลมหายใจอยู่ แต่จงอยู่ให้เป็น!”~Roy T Bennettใช่ครับ พี่น้องที่รัก1.เราไม่ควรอยู่เฉยเมยในยามที่เราควรทำสิ่งดีที่เรารู้2.เราไม่ควรทำอะไรที่ไม่ดีออกไป อย่างไม่สมควร3.เราไม่ควรทำบางสิ่ง เพียงแค่ว่าเราชอบ หรือแค่สิ่งนั้นดูเหมือนดีในความคิดของเรา แต่ 1).ไม่เกิดประโยชน์อะไร และ 2).อาจนำผลเสียมาให้แก่ตัวเราหรือผู้อื่น แต่ให้เรา1.ทำสิ่งที่ดี และ2.ทำให้ดีขึ้น จนกว่าเราจะ3.ทำได้ดีที่สุด อันเป็นประโยชน์อย่างยิ่งต่อตัว 1).ของเรา และ 2).ของผู้อื่น ขอให้เราแค่ Just Do It (แค่ลงมือทำ)ในสิ่งที่เรารู้ว่าดี! …จะดีไหมครับ?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ธงชัย ประดับชนานุรัตน์9กันยายน 2024 #YoutubeCJCONNECT #thongchaibsc#คริสตจักรแห่งความรัก #churchoflove #ShareTheLoveForward #ChurchOfJoy #คริสตจักรแห่งความสุข #NimitmaiChristianChurch #คริสตจักรนิมิตใหม่ #ฮักกัยประเทศไทย #อัลฟ่า #หนึ่งล้านความดี

คอลัมน์ “สดแต่เช้า”ปีที่4 (106) จงระแวดระวังใจของคุณไว้ให้ดี! “จงระแวดระวังใจของเจ้ายิ่งกว่าสิ่งอื่นใด เพราะทุกสิ่งที่เจ้าทำออกมาจากใจ” ‭‭ ~สุภาษิต‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ “Guard your heart more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it.” ‭‭ ~Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ‭GW‬‬ พี ดี เจมส์กล่าวว่า “ สิ่งลึกลับมากที่สุดในท่ามกลางสรรพสิ่ง ก็คือหัวใจของมนุษย์!” (The greatest mystery of all is the human heart.) ~P. D. James พระคัมภีร์ก็เปิดเผยว่า ทุกสิ่งทุกอย่างที่มนุษย์อย่างเรากระทำ ต่างก็ล้วนออกมาจากภายในใจของเราทั้งสิ้น! นอกจากนี้ ใจของเราก็ยังมีพลังอำนาจที่สามารถผลักดัน ให้เรากระทำสิ่งต่างๆให้ลุล่วงไปได้อย่างเหลือเชื่อ Roy T. Bennett จึงกล่าวว่า “ จงทำในสิ่งที่รัก จงรักในสิ่งที่คุณทำ และจงอุทิศตัวของคุณให้กับสิ่งนั้น อย่างสุดหัวใจของคุณ!” (Do what you love, love what you do, and with all your heart give yourself to it.) ใช่ครับ เมื่อใจของคุณ ทุ่มเทให้กับสิ่งใด สิ่งนั้นก็มัก จะประสบความสำเร็จ! แต่เมื่อใดก็ตาม ที่ใจของคุณไม่สู้ ไม่ท่มเท สิ่งที่คุณทำนั้น ก็มักจะล้มเหลว! เมื่อใจของคุณถูกต้อง อะไรต่างๆที่ตามมา ก็มักจะได้ดี แต่เมื่อใดที่ใจของคุณไม่ถูกต้อง ปัญหาต่างๆก็มักจะตามมาทันที! เราจึงต้องระมัดระวัง ในการ ป้องกันและจัดการกับ“ใจ”ของเราให้ดี เราต้องหลีกเลี่ยงโรคทางใจ และระแวดระวังให้ห่างไกล จากอาการของใจที่มีปัญหา ดังต่อไปนี้ 1.อาการใจน้อย= รู้สึกกระทบกระเทือนใจง่าย 2.อาการใจแคบ =ไม่คิดเอื้อเฟื้อเผื่อแผ่ 3.อาการใจแป้ว =เสียขวัญ 4.อาการใจร้อน =รู้สึกรีบเร่งเกินควร 5.อาการใจไม่ดี ~วิตกกังวล 6.อาการใจเสาะ =ท้อถอยโดยง่าย 7.อาการใจเสีย= มีใจไม่ดีเพราะกลัวหรือวิตกกังวล หมดกําลังใจ. เราควรหมั่นดูแลหัวใจของเรา และทำให้ใจของเรามีสุขภาพดี ดังต่อไปนี้ คือ มี 1.ใจกว้าง=เอื้อเฟื้อเผื่อแผ่ 2.ใจหนักแน่น =คิดสุขุม รอบคอบ 3.ใจถ่อม= เข้มแข็งพร้อมจะเชื่อฟัง และยอมจำนนต่อพระเจ้าอย่างแท้จริง 4.ใจสูง=มีความนึกคิดใฝ่ทางดี 5.ใจเย็น=รอบคอบ หนักแน่น ไม่ฉุนเฉียว 6.ใจเดียวกัน=มีความคิดตรงกัน 7.ใจดี = ใจอารี เมตตา กรุณา ไม่โกรธง่าย อาจารย์เปาโลกล่าวว่า เราผู้ที่เชื่อศรัทธาพระคริสต์ ได้รับการสร้างใหม่แล้ว เราจึงควรเป็นธรรมิกชนที่มีใจที่งดงาม ดังต่อไปนี้ “เพราะฉะนั้นในฐานะเป็น 1.พวกที่พระเจ้าทรงเลือก 2.พวกที่บริสุทธิ์ และ 3.พวกที่ทรงรัก จงสวม 1).ใจเมตตา 2).ใจกรุณา 3).ใจถ่อม 4).ใจสุภาพอ่อนโยน 5).ใจอดทน” ‭‭ ~โคโลสี‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ พี่น้องที่รัก วันนี้คุณมีจิตใจที่งดงามและทรงพลัง เหมือนดังใจที่พระเจ้าทรงคาดหวังให้คุณมี …แล้วหรือไม่? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ธงชัย ประดับชนานุรัตน์ 15กรกฎาคม 2024 #YoutubeCJCONNECT #thongchaibsc #คริสตจักรแห่งความรัก #churchoflove #ShareTheLoveForward #ChurchOfJoy #คริสตจักรแห่งความสุข #NimitmaiChristianChurch #คริสตจักรนิมิตใหม่ #ฮักกัยประเทศไทย #อัลฟ่า #หนึ่งล้านความดี

คอลัมน์ “สดแต่เช้า”ปีที่4(51) คุณจะทำอย่างไรกับ“เวลา” (T I M E)ที่คุณมีอยู่? “ขอทรงให้ข้าพระองค์ทั้งหลายอิ่มความรักมั่นคงของพระองค์ในเวลาเช้า เพื่อข้าพระองค์ทั้งหลายจะได้ร้องเพลงด้วยความชื่นบานและยินดี ตลอดวันเวลาของพวกข้าพระองค์” ‭‭ ~สดุดี‬ ‭90‬:‭14‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.” ‭‭ ~Psalms‬ ‭90‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ เวลาไม่ใช่เงินทอง แต่เวลาคือ ชีวิต! เมื่อใดที่เราฆ่าเวลา ก็คือ เรากำลังฆ่าชีวิตของเราเอง เวลาจึงเป็นสิ่งมีค่าที่สุด ดังนั้น จงอย่าไปฆ่าเวลา! สิ่งสำคัญไม่ใช่ การพยายามทำให้เรามีเวลาอยู่ยาวนานในโลกนี้ แต่เป็นการใส่สิ่งที่สำคัญที่จะยังคงอยู่ต่อไปอย่างยาวนานอย่างมีคุณค่า ในช่วงเวลาที่เรามีอยู่ (แม้จะเป็นเพียงช่วงเวลาสั้นๆก็ตาม) แล้วเราควรทำอะไรบ้าง ในช่วงเวลา(TIME)ที่เรามีอยู่? สิ่งที่เราพึงทำมี ดังนี้ T-Thanks (คำขอบคุณ) เราควรมีใจและคำขอบคุณพระเจ้าและผู้อื่นอยู่เสมอ เพราะว่าใจที่รู้จักขอบคุณนับว่าเป็นมารดาแห่งคุณธรรมทั้งปวง และ “ความกตัญญูคือความทรงจำของหัวใจ!” (Gratitude is the memory of the heart)
 - Jean Baptiste Massieu คำถามชวนคิด: “พระเจ้าทรงประทานเวลา86,400วินาทีเป็นของขวัญให้แก่คุณในวันนี้ คุณได้ใช้สักช่วงวินาทีในการกล่าว”ขอบคุณ“พระองค์บ้างแล้วหรือไม่?” (God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?)
 - William A. Ward มีคำเตือนสติที่ดีว่า “ยิ่งคุณขอบคุณพระเจ้า และ คนอื่นๆ สำหรับสิ่งที่คุณมีมากเท่าไหร่ คุณก็จะยิ่งมีมากขึ้นเท่านั้น แต่ถ้าคุณจดจ่ออยู่กับสิ่งที่คุณไม่มี คุณก็จะไม่มีวัน มีเพียงพอ!” I-improvement (การพัฒนาตนเอง) เราควรใช้เวลาที่มี ในการปรับปรุงและพัฒนาตัวเองอยู่เสมอ เราไม่ต้อง เปรียบเทียบตัวเองกับคนอื่น แต่ขอให้เราเปรียบเทียบตัวเองกับตัวเราเอง โดยตั้งใจว่าตัวของเราวันนี้จะดีกว่าตัวของเราเมื่อวานนี้ และ ตัวของเราพรุ่งนี้จะดีกว่าตัวของเราในวันนี้ …แค่นี้ชีวิตของเรา และโลกนี้ ก็ดีขึ้นแน่นอนแล้ว “ขอให้เราพัฒนาตัวเอง ไม่ใช่หาข้อแก้ตัว ให้เราแสวงหาการสมควรได้รับความนับถือ ไม่ใช่มุ่งหาแค่ความสนใจ!” ( Make improvements, not excuses. Seek respect, not attention.) ― Roy T. Bennett, “ให้การพัฒนาตัวเราเอง ทำให้เราสาละวน จนไม่มีเวลาไปวิพากษ์วิจารณ์คนอื่น!” (Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others.” ― Roy T. Bennett, M-Mercy(ความเมตตา) ชีวิตของเราจะมีคุณค่าและมีความหมายมากขึ้น เมื่อในทุกช่วงเวลาเหล่านั้น เจือปนด้วยความเมตตากรุณาต่อผู้อื่น ชีวิตที่ไร้ความเมตตา คือ ชีวิตที่ปราศจากชีวิต ในเวลาเดียวกัน อย่าให้เรามองข้าม หรือ ลืมเลือนความเมตตาที่เราได้รับมา เช่นกัน “จงให้ดวงตาของคุณเปิดออกมองดูความเมตตาที่คุณได้รับมาอยู่เสมอ คนที่ลืมขอบคุณคือคนที่ชีวิตกำลังหลับไหล“ (Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.)
 - Robert Louis Stevenson ” จงมีใจกรุณา เราไม่รู้เลยว่าคนที่อยู่ข้างหน้าเรานี้ กำลังเผชิญกับอะไรที่ผ่านมา จงมอบพระคุณและความเมตตาให้กับเขา เพราะว่าวันหนึ่ง สภาพแวดล้อมของคุณอาจจะเปลี่ยนไป และคุณอาจต้องการความเมตตาเหล่านั้นเช่นกัน ก็เป็นได้!“ “Be kind. We never know what people are going through. Give grace and mercy because one day your circumstance could change and you may need it.” ― Germany Kent E-Encouragement (การหนุนใจและเดือนสติ) ชีวิตของคนเรา ต้องเผชิญกับสถานการณ์ที่หลากหลาย ช่วงเวลาที่เราต้องการกำลังใจ คำแนะนำ หรือคำเตือนสติ จึงมีความหมายอย่างยิ่งต่อชีวิตของกันและกัน “ ถ้าคุณต้องการยกตัวของคุณขึ้น จงยกคนอื่นขึ้นก่อน!” (If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.) ― Booker T. Washington “ การหนุนใจเปรียบเหมือนน้ำที่ให้ความชื่นใจต่อจิตวิญญาณ และทำให้ทุกสิ่งทุกอย่างเจริญเติบโตขึ้น!” (Encouragement is like water to the soul, it makes everything grow.) ― Chris Burkmenn ดังนั้น จงให้เวลาในการหนุนใจกันและกันอยู่เสมอ โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง ในยามที่คนใดคนหนึ่งกำลังอยู่ในสถานการณ์ที่ย่ำแย่ของชีวิต พี่น้องเห็นด้วยกับทั้งหมดทุกสิ่งที่กล่าวมา ไหมครับ? ขอพระเจ้าทรงอวยพรให้ทุกท่าน 1.อิ่มเอมด้วยความรักมั่นคงของพระองค์ในเวลาเช้า 2.ร้องเพลงด้วยความชื่นบาน ยินดีและปลื้มปีติ ได้ตลอดชั่วชีวิต 3.ใช้ทุกวันเวลาในชีวิต อย่างมีคุณค่า และมีคุณประโยชน์อย่างสูงสุด ทั้งแก่ตัวเอง และผู้อื่น …จะอาเมนไหมครับ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ธงชัย ประดับชนานุรัตน์ 21พฤษภาคม 2024 #YoutubeCJCONNECT #thongchaibsc #คริสตจักรแห่งความรัก #churchoflove #ShareTheLoveForward #ChurchOfJoy #คริสตจักรแห่งความสุข #NimitmaiChristianChurch #คริสตจักรนิมิตใหม่ #ฮักกัยประเทศไทย #อัลฟ่า #หนึ่งล้านความดี --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soulfood-podcast/message

And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.“ ‭‭ ~Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ รอย ที เบนเน็ท กล่าวว่า “จงทำดี และดำเนินชีวิตในวิถีบวกและชื่นชมยินดีมากที่สุดเท่าที่จะเป็นได้ในทุกๆวัน!” “Do good, live in the most positive and joyful way possible every day.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart ใช่ครับ เราควรทำดี! เรารู้ว่า พระเจ้าทรงช่วยเราให้รอด! แต่พระเจ้าทรงช่วยเราให้รอดเพื่ออะไร? เราควรจะรู้ว่า แม้ว่าการทำดี ไม่ได้ช่วยให้เรารอด แต่ก็ชัดเจนว่า พระเจ้าทรงช่วยเราให้รอด เพื่อที่เราจะทำดี แบบที่ 1.ถวายพระเกียรติแด่พระเจ้า และ 2.เป็นประโยชน์แก่ทุกคน อาจารย์เปาโลกล่าวกับทิตัสอย่างชัดเจนในเรื่องนี้ว่า ”1.พระเจ้าทรงช่วยเราให้รอด เมื่อ 1).ความดีเลิศ และ 2).ความรักของพระเจ้า พระผู้ช่วยให้รอดของเรามาปรากฏ 2.เราไม่ได้รอดเพราะความชอบธรรมที่เราทำเอง แต่ด้วยพระเมตตาของพระองค์โดยผ่านการ 1).ชำระให้บังเกิดใหม่ และ 2).สร้างใหม่ ของพระวิญญาณบริสุทธิ์ 3.พระเจ้าประทานพระวิญญาณองค์นี้ให้แก่เราอย่างบริบูรณ์ ผ่านทางพระเยซูคริสต์พระผู้ช่วยให้รอดของเรา เพื่อว่าเมื่อ 1).เราถูกชำระให้ชอบธรรมโดยพระคุณของพระองค์แล้ว 2).เราก็จะได้เป็นผู้รับมรดกตามที่หวังไว้คือชีวิตนิรันดร์ 4.อาจารย์เปาโล ปรารถนาให้เน้นคำกล่าวสัตย์จริงเหล่านี้ เพื่อพวกที่เชื่อในพระเจ้าแล้วจะได้มุ่งทำการดี 1).ที่ดี และ 2).เป็นประโยชน์กับทุกคน 5.อาจารย์เปาโล กำชับให้หลีกเลี่ยงจาก 1).การทุ่มเถียงที่โง่เขลา 2).การลำดับวงศ์ตระกูล 3).การวิวาทและ 4).การทะเลาะกันเรื่องธรรมบัญญัติ เพราะว่าสิ่งเหล่านั้น ก.ไร้ประโยชน์และ ข.ไร้คุณค่า 6.อาจารย์ เปาโล เตือนว่า 1).จงเตือนคนที่สร้างความแตกแยกแค่หนึ่งหรือสองครั้ง แล้ว 2).จงอย่าเกี่ยวข้องกับเขาอีก เพราะรู้แล้วว่า ก.คนอย่างนั้น ก).เป็นคนนอกลู่นอกทาง และ ข).เป็นคนทำบาป ข.เขาลงโทษตัวเขาเอง“ ‭‭ ~ทิตัส‬ ‭3‬:‭4‬-‭11‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ พี่น้องที่รัก อะไรไม่ดี อย่าไปทำ! มีอะไรบ้างที่เข้าข่าย สิ่งไม่ดี ที่เราไม่ควรทำ อาจารย์เปาโล ยกตัวอย่างให้เห็นแล้ว อาทิ 1).การทุ่มเถียงที่โง่เขลา 2).การลำดับวงศ์ตระกูลที่ไร้แก่นสาร 3).การวิวาทกันที่สร้างความเสียหาย 4).การทะเลาะกันเรื่องธรรมบัญญัติที่สร้างปัญหา 5).การสร้างความแตกแยกที่สร้างความเจ็บปวด …เพราะว่าการทำสิ่งเหล่านั้นล้วน ก.ไร้ประโยชน์ และ ข.ไร้คุณค่า วันนี้ คุณคิดถึง ความดีอะไรบ้างที่คุณควรทำ ใน 1.ครอบครัว 2.คริสตจักร 3.ที่ทำงานหรือ ที่สถานศึกษา 4.ชุมนุมชนที่คุณอยู่? แล้วคุณ จะลงมือทำเมื่อไร?อย่างไร?และกับใคร? คุณเห็นด้วยกับที่ Richelle E.

This episode is a conversation based on the following quote by Roy T. Bennett, “Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don't listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don't listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what's behind the words.” www.marcyllecombs.com

We all deal with self-doubt. We question our abilities and ultimately our potential to make things happen. We say things like, ‘I am not good enough! Did I make the right decision? What if I cannot handle this?' these are all examples of self-doubt.   Most of the time, we have doubts about ourselves and our capabilities when we are lacking one of two things: confidence or competence.   Past experience and comparing ourselves to others also leads to self-doubt. We also experience self-doubt when we do something new and challenging or something out of our comfort zone. But when it comes to something that we never did before having doubts is normal.  To some extent, self-doubt is actually useful because it helps you see what skills you need to acquire or improve to perform a certain task better   But if self-doubt becomes the norm it's time for you to change that. Which brings me to a great quote…"When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt"– Honore de Balzac.   So, Let's talk about Recognizing the signs of self-doubt.   Being stuck with self-doubt can prevent you from living the life you desire. Self-doubt prevents you from starting the business you would love to, pursuing your passion, not applying for the amazing job promotion you think you deserve. You get the idea.   So, self-doubt basically holds you back in life and ultimately from success. It leads to procrastination. It keeps you from taking action towards your goals and ultimately achieving them. When you have doubts you don't seize the opportunities that might be present in your life.  Self-doubt can have a negative effect on your life and confidence.   So, how can you deal with self-doubt and move forward…The Key is in Identifying and overcome Self Doubt.   Start by Recognizing the effects of self-doubt on your growth mindset:   Excessive self-doubt can lead to negative thinking patterns and limit your ability to achieve success. It can also lead to anxiety and depression, as well as interfering with interpersonal relationships. Self-doubt can impact work performance and productivity.   The truth is that self-doubt doesn't go away. We simply learn how to deal with it better so we can achieve our goals and live our best life.   Learn to Embrace Your Self-Doubt   It may sound weird, but the first step to deal with your self-doubt is to embrace it. In other words, when you have self-doubt simply acknowledge it. Don't beat yourself for having doubts about yourself and your abilities. Having self-doubts is normal – we all have them. It's what makes us real and what makes us humans. So, accept that sometimes you will doubt yourself.   Instead of being reactive and trying to run away from it by distracting yourself – embrace it. In so doing, you will not waste your time, energy and motivation trying to avoid it. Embracing your self-doubt allows you to refocus your energy and fully concentrate on your goals.   A Key is to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others.   "The only person you should try to be better than is who you were yesterday"– Unknown.   I understand that it is easier to compare yourself to others but doing so is one of the reasons why we struggle with insecurities. Comparing yourself to others leads to self-doubt…it causes it.   So, an effective way to deal with self-doubt is to compare yourself only to YOU. In other words, compare yourself to who you were yesterday to see how far you have come. For instance: suppose you started your Business 4 month ago. Instead of comparing your success to someone who is further ahead of you, compare your success to when you first started. When you assess your progress, don't forget to celebrate your small wins. As Stefan James says, ‘what gets rewarded, gets repeated'. GAP vs GAIN by Dan Sullivan.   Build Your Self-Confidence to Overcome Doubt   To build confidence you need to remember, it is important to be accepting of your mistakes and failures, as they are part of the learning process. Also try practicing positive self-talk and daily affirmations can also be helpful.   You can make lots of simple choices to build your self-confidence. Just as there are many ways to strengthen your body, there are ways you can increase your resolve by setting small goals, making healthier choices, nurturing your spirit, and finding support. Here are just a few:   Break free of self-sabotaging thoughts and behavior patterns. Expand your knowledge, skills, and experiences. Become physically, mentally, and spiritually healthier. Deepen interpersonal relationships. Most of our doubts, lack of confidence and even imposture syndrome comes from negative thinking and thoughts patterns we have established over time.   Tips for overcoming negative thinking patterns which cause doubt:   Learn to Identify Thought Distortions. Our minds have their clever way of convincing us of something that isn't actually true. These faulty thoughts reinforce negative thinking. Counter Negative Thoughts with Positive Affirmations. Positive affirmations can be used in a number of different ways. ... Avoid External Negativity. Take steps to avoid things or people in your life that hurt the way you think and feel. Take a Break. One way to separate yourself from negativity is to allow yourself a specified period (no more or less than 10 minutes) with the negative thought. Practice Feeling Grateful. Research shows that feeling grateful has a positive influence on your levels of happiness. Focus on Your Strength. The more you try to focus on your strengths instead of dwelling on mistakes you've made in the past, the easier it will be to overcome negative thinking. Seek out Professional Support. If you still have a hard time managing your thoughts and find that they are affecting your ability to meet your daily responsibilities or enjoy. Quote:  "Believe in yourself, your abilities and your own potential. Never let self-doubt hold you captive. You are worthy of all that you dream of and hope for" – Roy T Bennett.   I Believe that Pushing Yourself to Take Action Despite Your Self-Doubt with Help you Overcome Anything Obstacle in Your Life   Quote:  "If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced" – Vincent Willem Van Gogh.   Learn to take action despite your self-doubt and your self-doubt will disappear. When you take action, your doubts and insecurities you actually move towards your goals. Think about it – how many times you had doubts, but you did well anyway?   By taking action you reclaim your power and you become in charge of your life. On the other hand, if you don't take action, you feel anxious and overwhelmed. So, don't sell yourself short because of your self-doubts.   Instead, learn to focus on the present moment, embrace your doubts and ask yourself ‘what small action I can take today to move towards my goals?'. Then, simply take that action. In so doing, you are not engaging in negative self-talk about something, but you are actually doing this thing. And as you act despite your doubts you feel more confident, empowered, motivated and happy. Make sense?   Finally, It's Important You Sharpen your Skills & Mastery of Your Trade   Often, when you don't know how to achieve something the voice of your self-doubt is louder. In other words, the lack of clarity and competence leads to self-doubt, less confidence and inaction. So, having clarity and competence is vital if you want to deal with self-doubt.   When you don't have clarity on what skills you need, simply think of your goal and identify the key steps that you need to take to achieve it. If you struggle to identify what needs to be done research what successful people in that area are doing and follow their steps. Once you know what needs to be done you can make a plan of action to develop your skills.   If you need to acquire new skills to achieve your goal, be willing to learn those skills. In other words, have a learning mentality. Read books, watch YouTube videos, listen podcasts and audiobooks, attend seminars or sign up for a course.   Whatever it is that you need to learn just take the time to do it. The more you learn, the more competent you become. And with competence comes confidence. When you are confident, you are more likely to take action and make progress regardless of your doubts. Can you see how it all ties together?   Look, we all doubt ourselves and that's okay. It's what we do next that makes all the difference. I hope these tips will start helping you to identify and overcome your self-doubt each day. Self-doubt is normal, but it doesn't have to control your life. When you understand that self-doubt is just a negative thought pattern you can take steps to change it.

Aloha and welcome to the Sobriety Rocks Podcast! I'm your host Kirk Waterman, today we talk about Using Our Intuition.Roy T. Bennett said, “You will never follow your own inner voice until you clear up the doubts in your mind.” When I was a little boy, I trusted my intuition without question. It effortlessly led me to do the right thing, be the best person I could, and shine bright in nearly every situation I found myself.Unfortunately, by time I was a drinking and using teenager, I had begun to lose touch with it. I would think I was using my intuition when I wasn't and didn't trust it when I should have. Thankfully when I finally made it to the rooms of recovery, I found people who had done the work to uncover their hearts, follow their intuition and shine as bright as I once did.So, I did what they did, and cleared my heart of all the pain, hurt, shame, guilt, and judgement I could. Slowly but surely, I began to believe in myself and trust my intuition once again.All these years later, the unity, recovery, and service of the 12 step programs have allowed me to hear my inner voice and be led by intuition once again. I believe this may be one of the most important things I've ever done.I know that the more you trust your intuition, the more empowered you become, the stronger you become, and the happier you become. So, I say here's to all of us staying grounded and trusting our intuition.Today we'll close with a grounding meditation, to bring us more peace, calm and focus.I'm Kirk Waterman, thank you for joining us.

Today's topic is actually going to be a quote from Roy T. Bennett. It's such a cool quote and kind of the focus of today's episode is really going from, like, worrying from anxiety to creating, and it actually ties into an episode we did last week. So, we'll tie it all in. But first, let me share the quote. So, again, this quote is by Roy Bennett. And the quote is this. Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift the energy to what you can create.  

Then you need a way to get back your L.I.F.E! 4 ways to rise again. Now, get on with it! "Focus on your goals, not your fear. Focus like a laser beam on your goals." - Roy T. Bennett

Episode 239: Tools to Magnify our Worthiness: Interview Chris HawkerAm I worthy of love? Am I worthy of good things? Am I worthy of success?I have a couple family members who have recently discussed with me feelings of unworthiness because of religious or cultural messages. It's come up as a topic in multiple groups recently, so it's been on my radar.So, when Chris Hawker, co-founder of Next level Trainings, recently was featured on the Spirit River Coaching Summit speaking on “Are you worthy enough to love yourself - tools to magnify worthiness and move you forward,” I reached out to him right away to see if he'd talk to us about this universal struggle. The struggle to feel we are worthy of all the good stuff.Tune in for our talk about how to embrace our worthiness and the tools to help us do that. I believe in light and in darkness, I believe in good and in evil. I believe in these things because I've experienced what it's like to sit in love and light, and I've experienced what it's like to feel fear and shame and the hell it brings. I believe in God and light and love, and I believe in Satan, who seeks to keep us small and miserable, filled with self-loathing and self rejection. As I have watched people, done interviews, read transformational biographical stories of the human struggle, and taken note of our predominant struggles as humankind, I have come to the conclusion that feeling unworthy is one of the greatest tool that separates us from light and love. Feelings of self loathing and self doubt are amplified by our natural negativity bias, the devil on our shoulder seems to always be ready to cut us to the quick, ready to make us doubt ourselves and our worthiness for good things, for love, for success. Basic life struggles are instantly met with the idea that we are not enough.The reason this tool is so powerful in stopping us, is that when we buy into the belief that we are unworthy we will play small. We will not share our talents with the world, which rips everyone off - us and the world. We slink in the shadows, living well below what we are capable. I suspect one of the biggest battles we will ever engage in during our lives is the fight, within our own minds, to accept our brilliance, our worthiness, our potential, and our beauty as humans. This is why I'm so pleased today to talk with Chris Hawker about tools for magnifying our worthiness so we can move forward in big and fabulous ways. Let me introduce him - Chris Hawker is a transformational leadership trainer, inventor and professional speaker. He has trained teams at organizations like Duracell and McDonald's. He coaches leaders in living vision-driven lives. His award-winning inventions have received 40 patents, and his work has been featured in USA Today, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. He is co-founder of Next Level Trainings, which has trained thousands of individuals, raising over $4M in charitable donations. He resides in Columbus, OH, with his wife, son and dogTune into the audio program to hear our discussion about things like:Let's start out with your story - what has been your path to a full acceptance of your self worth?What is self worth?Where does it come from?Why does doing the work to shed the unworthy feelings we have matter?How do you coach people as they work on reclaiming a deep sense of self worth? What do we do to get self worth?I'd like to get your thoughts on a couple of quotes - one you are familiar with and one is a surprise - First one:Roy T. Bennett said, “If you want to fly, you have to give up what weights you down” Second one:Maya Angelou said, “I learned a long time ago, the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side.”To contact...

In this episode, I discuss the things that hold us back from moving forward including growth gaps, fears, and habits, and ways to be intentional, move forward, and succeed in 2023 “It's only after you've stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”― Roy T. Bennett  

Today's meditation comes from The Book Of Proverbs in The Old Testament and from the writings of Roy T. Bennett, with music by The Stolen Orchestra.Passage: “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but blessed is the one who has friends that are as close as family.” —Proverbs 18:4Perspective: “Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don't respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.” ―Roy T. BennettMusic: “Holier Than” by The Stolen Orchestra.Narrator: Ryan Phipps

Welcome to day 27 of Journeying Through a Month of Grace. Today we give ourselves kindness. "Kindness, quite simply, is the rent we have to pay for the space we occupy on this planet." - Robin Sharma Kindness starts with us. How we talk to ourselves, the words we say to ourselves, what we consume and how we consume it.  If in doubt or you feel triggered, ask yourself "What would kindness do? What would kindness say? How would kindness respond?" It is possible to be kind even when we get disrespected or even hurt. It takes a huge amount of mental strenght and clarity to stay in the vibration of kindness. But it is absolutely possible. To meet another with kindness is another level of connection.  “Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart So today, give yourself kindness.  ----------------- As we're Wrapping Up 2022 (listen to episode #167) many of us find ourselves in a lot of fast-paced pressure. We have so many things we wanna wrap up, finish and complete before we enter the year of 2023, that we tend to forget to really tune in and slow down. This is the season to slow down. I myself need this reminder so I thought I take you on this journey with me.  I hope you enjoy.  Connect with me on: Instagram: @nadinekuehnholistic Facebook: @nadinekuehnholistic Pinterest: @nadinekuehnholistic Website: www.shehealsher.com Inquiries & Collabs:  Email: collab@shehealsher.com   Love, Nadine   Related Episodes: A Month of Grace - Day 26 - Give Yourself Opportunity A Month of Grace - Day 25 - Give Yourself Patience A Month of Grace - Day 24 - Give Yourself Love A Month of Grace - Day 23 - Give Yourself Joy A Month of Grace - Day 22 - Give Yourself Forgiveness A Month of Grace - Day 21 - Give Yourself Connection A Month Of Grace - Day 20 - Give Yourself Blessings A Month Of Grace - Day 19 - Give Yourself Clarity A Month Of Grace - Day 18 - Give Yourself Beauty A Month Of Grace - Day 17 - Give Yourself Meditation A Month Of Grace - Day 16 - Give Yourself Movement A Month Of Grace - Day 15 - Give Yourself Touch A Month Of Grace - Day 14 - Give Yourself Surrender A Month Of Grace - Day 13 - Give Yourself Play A Month Of Grace - Day 12 - Give Yourself Healing A Month Of Grace - Day 11 - Give Yourself Nourishment A Month Of Grace - Day 10 - Give Yourself Stillness A Month Of Grace - Day 9 - Give Yourself Gratitude A Month Of Grace - Day 8 - Give Yourself Time A Month Of Grace - Day 7 - Give Yourself Acceptance A Month Of Grace - Day 6 - Give Yourself Water A Month Of Grace - Day 5 - Give Yourself Compassion A Month Of Grace - Day 4 - Give Yourself Rest A Month of Grace - Day 3 - Give Yourself Sacred Space  A Month of Grace - Day 2 - Give Yourself Breath A Month of Grace - Day 1 - Give yourself Grace

This season is the epitome of giving, so the question we have is did you give to yourself this season or even this year? Somehow there is a false belief out there that investing in ourselves is selfish and we need to take care of everyone else before we take care of ourselves. Sadly, this belief leads to overwhelm, stress, and finally burnout. This is why it is vital you start to invest time, money, and energy into yourself! Today we will be dropping several nuggets on where and how to start putting you first so you can take care of everyone else that needs you. In this episode, you will discover: How investing in yourself first, exponentially impacts your life and business. The top three ways high performers invest in themselves. The one thing you should be doing every day. Author of The Light in the Heart, Roy T. Bennett, wrote “There is no more profitable investment than investing in yourself. It is the best investment you can make; you can never go wrong with it. It is the true way to improve yourself to be the best version of you and lets you be able to best serve those around you.” This is so powerful because so many people start oppositely, by serving others first and not having time to invest in themselves. Join us this week as we focus on the most important thing you can do, invest in yourself, so you can start taking action toward your dreams and future today.

We all deal with self-doubt. We question our abilities and ultimately our potential to make things happen. We say things like, ‘I am not good enough! Did I make the right decision? What if I cannot handle this?' these are all examples of self-doubt. Most of the time, we have doubts about ourselves and our capabilities when we are lacking one of two things: confidence or competence. Past experience and comparing ourselves to others also leads to self-doubt. We also experience self-doubt when we do something new and challenging or something out of our comfort zone. But when it comes to something that we never did before having doubts is normal.  To some extent, self-doubt is actually useful because it helps you see what skills you need to acquire or improve to perform a certain task better But if self-doubt becomes the norm it's time for you to change that. Which brings me to a great quote…"When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt"– Honore de Balzac. So, Let's talk about Recognizing the signs of self-doubt. Being stuck with self-doubt can prevent you from living the life you desire. Self-doubt prevents you from starting the business you would love to, pursuing your passion, not applying for the amazing job promotion you think you deserve. You get the idea. So, self-doubt basically holds you back in life and ultimately from success. It leads to procrastination. It keeps you from taking action towards your goals and ultimately achieving them. When you have doubts you don't seize the opportunities that might be present in your life.  Self-doubt can have a negative effect on your life and confidence. So, how can you deal with self-doubt and move forward…The Key is in Identifying and overcome Self Doubt. Start by Recognizing the effects of self-doubt on your growth mindset: Excessive self-doubt can lead to negative thinking patterns and limit your ability to achieve success. It can also lead to anxiety and depression, as well as interfering with interpersonal relationships. Self-doubt can impact work performance and productivity. The truth is that self-doubt doesn't go away. We simply learn how to deal with it better so we can achieve our goals and live our best life. Learn to Embrace Your Self-Doubt It may sound weird, but the first step to deal with your self-doubt is to embrace it. In other words, when you have self-doubt simply acknowledge it. Don't beat yourself for having doubts about yourself and your abilities. Having self-doubts is normal – we all have them. It's what makes us real and what makes us humans. So, accept that sometimes you will doubt yourself. Instead of being reactive and trying to run away from it by distracting yourself – embrace it. In so doing, you will not waste your time, energy and motivation trying to avoid it. Embracing your self-doubt allows you to refocus your energy and fully concentrate on your goals. A Key is to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others. "The only person you should try to be better than is who you were yesterday"– Unknown. I understand that it is easier to compare yourself to others but doing so is one of the reasons why we struggle with insecurities. Comparing yourself to others leads to self-doubt…it causes it. So, an effective way to deal with self-doubt is to compare yourself only to YOU. In other words, compare yourself to who you were yesterday to see how far you have come. For instance: suppose you started your Business 4 month ago. Instead of comparing your success to someone who is further ahead of you, compare your success to when you first started. When you assess your progress, don't forget to celebrate your small wins. As Stefan James says, ‘what gets rewarded, gets repeated'. GAP vs GAIN by Dan Sullivan. Build Your Self-Confidence to Overcome Doubt To build confidence you need to remember, it is important to be accepting of your mistakes and failures, as they are part of the learning process. Also try practicing positive self-talk and daily affirmations can also be helpful. You can make lots of simple choices to build your self-confidence. Just as there are many ways to strengthen your body, there are ways you can increase your resolve by setting small goals, making healthier choices, nurturing your spirit, and finding support. Here are just a few: Break free of self-sabotaging thoughts and behavior patterns. Expand your knowledge, skills, and experiences. Become physically, mentally, and spiritually healthier. Deepen interpersonal relationships. Most of our doubts, lack of confidence and even imposture syndrome comes from negative thinking and thoughts patterns we have established over time. Tips for overcoming negative thinking patterns which cause doubt: Learn to Identify Thought Distortions. Our minds have their clever way of convincing us of something that isn't actually true. These faulty thoughts reinforce negative thinking. Counter Negative Thoughts with Positive Affirmations. Positive affirmations can be used in a number of different ways. ... Avoid External Negativity. Take steps to avoid things or people in your life that hurt the way you think and feel. Take a Break. One way to separate yourself from negativity is to allow yourself a specified period (no more or less than 10 minutes) with the negative thought. Practice Feeling Grateful. Research shows that feeling grateful has a positive influence on your levels of happiness. Focus on Your Strength. The more you try to focus on your strengths instead of dwelling on mistakes you've made in the past, the easier it will be to overcome negative thinking. Seek out Professional Support. If you still have a hard time managing your thoughts and find that they are affecting your ability to meet your daily responsibilities or enjoy. Quote:  "Believe in yourself, your abilities and your own potential. Never let self-doubt hold you captive. You are worthy of all that you dream of and hope for" – Roy T Bennett. I Believe that Pushing Yourself to Take Action Despite Your Self-Doubt with Help you Overcome Anything Obstacle in Your Life Quote:  "If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced" – Vincent Willem Van Gogh. Learn to take action despite your self-doubt and your self-doubt will disappear. When you take action, your doubts and insecurities you actually move towards your goals. Think about it – how many times you had doubts, but you did well anyway? By taking action you reclaim your power and you become in charge of your life. On the other hand, if you don't take action, you feel anxious and overwhelmed. So, don't sell yourself short because of your self-doubts. Instead, learn to focus on the present moment, embrace your doubts and ask yourself ‘what small action I can take today to move towards my goals?'. Then, simply take that action. In so doing, you are not engaging in negative self-talk about something, but you are actually doing this thing. And as you act despite your doubts you feel more confident, empowered, motivated and happy. Make sense? Finally, It's Important You Sharpen your Skills & Mastery of Your Trade Often, when you don't know how to achieve something the voice of your self-doubt is louder. In other words, the lack of clarity and competence leads to self-doubt, less confidence and inaction. So, having clarity and competence is vital if you want to deal with self-doubt. When you don't have clarity on what skills you need, simply think of your goal and identify the key steps that you need to take to achieve it. If you struggle to identify what needs to be done research what successful people in that area are doing and follow their steps. Once you know what needs to be done you can make a plan of action to develop your skills. If you need to acquire new skills to achieve your goal, be willing to learn those skills. In other words, have a learning mentality. Read books, watch YouTube videos, listen podcasts and audiobooks, attend seminars or sign up for a course. Whatever it is that you need to learn just take the time to do it. The more you learn, the more competent you become. And with competence comes confidence. When you are confident, you are more likely to take action and make progress regardless of your doubts. Can you see how it all ties together? Look, we all doubt ourselves and that's okay. It's what we do next that makes all the difference. I hope these tips will start helping you to identify and overcome your self-doubt each day. Self-doubt is normal, but it doesn't have to control your life. When you understand that self-doubt is just a negative thought pattern you can take steps to change it.

Today's meditation comes from The Book Of First Timothy in The New Testament and from the writings of Roy T. Bennett, with music by Markus Huber.

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart The one thing we get choose every day is how we show up. We don't get to choose what happens to us but we do get to decide how we process the events in our lives and what actions we take or do not take. We generally get what we are looking for so we might as well learn to look for what we do want.

“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.” ― Roy T. Bennett, In an article on the Louise hay website entitled “The power of Affirmations” the author states; “Please realize that every complaint is an affirmation of something you think you don't want in your life. Every time you get angry, you're affirming that you want more anger in your life. Every time you feel like a victim, you're affirming that you want to continue to feel like a victim. If you feel that Life isn't giving you what you want in your world, then it's certain that you will never have the goodies that Life gives to others-that is, until you change the way you think and talk.”

If you're curious, there is always something new to be discovered in the backdrop of your daily life.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart   With this being the beginning of November, I found it fitting for us to talk around the idea of gratitude. In this episode we'll talk about how practicing the rhythm of wonder in our daily lives in things like, the shape of clouds and the color of changing leaves, can lead us to the place of gratitude. And how staying in step with curiosity in the simple things in life, positions us for more and expands our hearts to lean towards “thank you”.  

// Introduction:Today it's all about YOU. Your higher self, your intuition and how you can learn to tap in and turn on anytime anywhere. We are always being guided to live in our life's alignment, many of us just don't know when or how to listen to the signs from our intuition, angels, or spirit guides. Everyone's had that gut reaction, and through this podcast, you can learn how to listen to it, instead of ignoring those butterflies or inkling to avoid that person or business deal. It's your birthright to live a fulfilling and abundant life. You're listening to these words, in this moment, right here and right now for a reason. Learn how to trust and celebrate the little moments of your guided life by tuning in and tapping into Source. You'll discover your cosmic self, and never feel alone again. If you turn inwards, you'll discover, if you haven't already, that you possess a powerful guidance system that has been within you all along. We are all blessed with an intuitive guidance system and the more we learn to listen to it and use it, the more confident and tactful we will become at reassuring ourselves throughout the journey of this life.We are always being guided, but the more friends, clients and family members I talk to, the more I realize that people don't always know how to listen to that intuition. According to Deepak Chopra, “Intuition is an intelligence beyond your rational mind.”And your rational mind, or conscious mind, is often led by the ego. So It's important to separate yourself from your ego in order to listen to the signs. So in short, Intuition is the way the subconscious mind communicates with the conscious mind. The information that informs ‘that feeling' is real. It's like any other decision but the workings of it – the collection, the storage, the putting together – happen outside of our conscious mind.I personally receive signs from many places, and you likely do too, you just aren't looking for them. I resonate with signs from the universe (sometimes I call this source, or even god, and you can call it Jesus, or Buddha or whatever resonates with you as your higher power, the denomination does not matter). I also get info and downloads from my spirit guides, guardian angels, and archangels (which you all also have, too), and last but not least, I also lean on my personal intuition for info and intel on what to do and how to do it, which is what we will be talking about today. It's like having an invisible force of spiritual guiding gurus always on your side, helping and facilitating you in every aspect of your life. We'll talk more about spirit guides and angels in a future episode, but they do lend a bit of a hand in your invisible intuition, so we'll touch on it a bit today too. Certainly, you've had that intuitive gut reaction, or heard the little voice in your head telling you to do or not to do something. But ask yourself this: How often do you lean in and listen to that intuitive feeling?// Method to Manifesting 101:Thankfully, we all come equipped with an intuition. Many of us may already have a strong connection with it, while many of us are unaware that we have within us an inner wisdom that is always on our side.Jiddu Krishnamurti says, “Intuition is the whisper of the soul.” which I love. Often times, the messages you receive will be a whisper. It will be quiet but omnipresent. It will be meaningful, and full of intel. Sometimes, though, it may not be a whisper… it may be a yell, or a cry, or a repetitive sign you keep seeing. It's important to recognize the different ways your messages come in. Everyone receives and understands signs differently, so unlocking your intuitive “code” can be a super fun process!Taking the steps and efforts to cultivate a more intimate relationship with our inner guidance and wisdom is a journey of self-exploration and empowerment.Honing into and honoring the signs from your emotional body. Investigating potential underlying stories and triggers of physical ailments. Marveling at the magical coincidences of your life. Making time to clear mental chatter to deeply listen to your inner desires. Bringing healing love to unprocessed wounds. Honoring the process of deepening our relationship with our intuition is a journey towards living a more rich, meaningful and connected life.Alyse Parker, founder of Alignment Accelerator, has some wonderful step by step guidance I'd love to share with you today in this method to manifesting segment. In it, I'll outline 6 ways to listen to your intuition, plus a few action items I recommend you start to incorporate into your daily routines... and once you do, your magic and potential will expand beyond your wildest dreams.1. Trust Your GutWe all know the sensation of when something doesn't feel right. When our circumstances are just wrong, it's common to feel a strong urge or twisting of our gut. This is often the most obvious if not first telltale sign that our intuition is tugging at the sleeve of our attention. If something doesn't feel good, right or just simply off, perhaps your gut is telling you it's time for a change. It's so important to always pay attention to your gut. When the neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in your gut fire up, you may be feeling either “butterflies” or queasy sensations. Pay attention to those. It's no accident we use the term intuition and gut feeling interchangeably because science has now shown us that our gut has a brain of its own, a second brain so to speak. In fact, our gut has an entire network of neurotransmitters called the enteric nervous system. Be honest with yourself and acknowledge those unsettled feelings; they are there to guide and support you. Listen to them. Follow the hunches until your situation feels right again. Trust your emotional compass. How you feel is your greatest indicator of whether your choices are in alignment with your intuitive wisdom or not.MINDFUL ACTION: Try this with little things at first, see if making a left or a right turn has a different feeling in your stomach. If you immediately are pulled to “turn right instead of left” on the drive home, listen. The more you prime your mind to listening to your initial “gut” reactions, the easier it will be to listen on bigger decisions.2. Follow Energy ShiftsOne way to measure whether you've acted in accordance to your intrinsic knowledge or not is to tune into your energy levels. Chances are you've experienced the feeling of having a weight lifted from your shoulders immediately after making a long-awaited decision. Maybe you sensed a return of joy or energy, charisma and physical stamina that you had felt severed from for some time. How do you feel around a co-worker or potential customer? Drained or energized? Using your intuition to read people can make you a more effective leader or negotiator in your business dealings. If these shifts are present, rejoice in the knowing that you have acted from a place of alignment with your higher, true self.MINDFUL ACTION: Next time you're faced with a decision, see if the weight of it feels heavy or light on your shoulders. That's a quick indicator of an energy read in a room or a situation.3. Tune To Your BodyIs a recurring situation in your life triggering a tight feeling in your chest? Or maybe there's a circumstance that sparks that sinking, chronic stomach aches? If your reality isn't paralleled to your innermost longings, your intuition will use your physical body as a medium to bring your attention to what desperately wants to be seen. As many of us have a tendency to ignore our internal guidance system, the repressed messages will develop into more severe symptoms… anything from anxiety and depression, fatigue, migraines, nausea and other physical ailments and dis-ease. What are you experiencing in your body? And what is it trying to communicate to you? What, if any, repressed messages, urges and needs are underlying the physical discomfort you may be experiencing in your life? Open yourself to positive, curious inquiry with the knowing that you intuitively hold the knowledge to be your own healer and transform your life.MINDFUL ACTION: What consistent ailments are coming up in your body? Think about why they may be affecting you, and try reading the book “Heal Your Body” by Louise Hay. In it, you'll find ailments, the connection to personal or professional lockages, and provides mantras for you to say daily to eradicate any physical symptoms you're having.4. Pay Attention to the SynchronicitiesThe Universe will frequently gift us with signs of assurance. Things like seeing 11:11 daily, or always getting lucky pennies are all signs to tap in. Even as we dream, manifest and shoot off rockets of desires through our thoughts and beliefs, the Universe supports us in turn by sending us the circumstances, people, opportunities and situations that will bring our advancement in life. Be present in your day-to-day activities so that you can see the meaningful patterns and coincidences when they occur. These signs can be messages from your higher self that you are on the right path. I also think these signs can also be messages from your guardian angels, archangels, or spirit guides nudging you on the right path, forcing you to listen to something being said, or showing you the way.MINDFUL ACTION: Next time you see a recurring sign, say out loud, “what would you like to show me” and focus on the next immediate statement that comes into your mind as an answer. Without thinking, without analyzing. Just the first thing that comes to mind.5. Get QuietIn our world of constant chatter and content bombardment there are multiple forces grabbing for our attention, and it can become challenging to tap into the voice or sensation of our intuition. When we are up against making a decision, it's important to create room for clarity. When you allow your mind to rest, the mud of many thoughts settles, and your mind becomes an open and clear channel for your thoughts and emotions to flow through.Step away from your current situation and bring yourself to a state of mind and location where you can decompress and find some quiet, even just for a few minutes. Dissolve any sense of pressure by focusing on deep, elongated breaths. In this spaciousness, we can dissolve the clutter of our fears, insecurities, doubts and uncertainty to hear the deep, confident, clear knowing of our inner wisdom.In this expansiveness, you have the lucidity necessary to listen, with all your might, to what your higher self is telling you. Even if you are not pressed to make a difficult choice in your life, making it a regular practice to quiet the mind is a great approach to deepening your connection with your intuition. Make space to get quiet. I'll meditate for a few minutes, and just see what the first things that come to mind are - they are often short messages from my intuition and guides telling me what to do. Also if that seems too hard at first, try to just free-write. Journal in a quiet room with relaxing music playing and write quick without much thought to the words, just the first things that come to mind. You'll often receive much clarity from this practice as well.MINDFUL ACTION: Try free-write, meditation journaling for 5 min per day before bed.6. Do Your Shadow Work“You will never follow your own inner voice until you clear up the doubts in your mind.”–Roy T. Bennett. In order for us to experience a clear, uninterrupted dialogue with our intuition, we must clear, touch and heal the parts of ourselves we would rather pretend did not exist. The shadow is a term coined by psychologist Carl Jung, and it refers to our deepest wounds. The wounds from our past or present that have us believing we are flawed, unlovable, undeserving people. (ps. Here's a secret, you don't need to live by those narratives, you can remove the blockages by clearing the shadows. Think of it like mental spring cleaning. Shadow work can support you in embracing all aspects of yourself. This experience of self-acceptance is essential for you to love and trust yourself more, which puts you more in touch with your intuition. By communing with the aspects of ourselves that we attempt to reject and hide, we heighten our awareness of their habitual patterns and thoughts. In regards to tapping into our intuitive powers, this awareness will allow us to skillfully decipher between limiting beliefs, judgments and criticisms from the internal guide that is edging us towards appropriate discernment and caution. As we venture down the path of healing our shadow self and past wounds, we can realize that our history may be projecting onto our present moment. By looking into your shadow work, you will heighten your ability to decipher between pained, habitual thinking and our inner wisdom illuminating our path.MINDFUL ACTION: Try allocating an hour a week to cleansing shadow work.Remember: You possess all the reassurance, encouragement and answers to all your questions. All you need to do is look inside.// Ancient Ancestors:The Medicine Wheel, or Sacred Hoop, is a Native American approach to energy and intuitive healing that can be used to resolve post-traumatic stress, anxiety, grief, and health issues. It can also be used to call upon your higher power to make decisions for healing and conflict within and outside the body mind. The Medicine Wheel way of healing reconnects you to your intuition, nature, your ancestors, and the infinite circle of life. It guides you to walk your sacred path in balance and with love in your heart.So what exactly is the Medicine Wheel?The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Native American culture thinks that everything has a spirit — a voice, a meaning, and a power. They call this Orenda and it's the basis of energy. When we use this energy properly and live a life in balance, we can cultivate a “good mind.”The Shift Network says that The Medicine Wheel is an ancient symbol of the sacred hoop of life — or the circle of life — in Native American culture. It has been used for thousands of years. Different Nations have different ways of interpreting the Medicine Wheel — the colors, specific uses, and meanings…The Lakota, Ojibwa, and Cree Nations, (just to name a few), have researched and used the Medicine Wheel in therapy for PTSD, trauma release, stress management, problem solving, conflict resolution, business consulting, and more. There are some basics of the Medicine Wheel that are the same across cultures and others that are different. How you use the Medicine Wheel can be highly personal, too.Like Chinese medicine, Native American medicine and culture look to our Mother the Earth for guidance. Observing patterns, shapes, rhythms, cycles, and all of life's natural patterns is part of how we are guided.Circles are important in Native American culture. They are how we connect to nature and all of life. When we see everything as a circle, we can appreciate that the cycle of life has no beginning and no end. Within nature and the human body, we can see many circles represented, like cells, bones, the system of circulation (blood and lymph). Even our DNA consists of circular, spiral patterns (the double helix).Medicine Wheel Image Linked HereImage Credit: Sage GoddessOk, so let's dig into The Seven Directions, and how to read, navigate, and use a medicine wheel.Seven is also a sacred number in Native American culture. Within the Medicine Wheel are the following seven directions. Although there are 7 in total, obviously the 4 main ones are north, south, east and west. Each come with various totems, focuses, elements and herbs. Different tribes have slightly different wheels, but I'm going to focus on the most commonly used wheel today.To use the medicine wheel, I would recommend you say in your head or out loud whatever you need help with or guidance on, it can be an informal or formal question, you can write it down and say a little prayer, or just riff. There's no right or wrong. I'd say something like:“I call forth and open the gates of the east, of air, of the rising sun, the spring time. I call forth your protection and guidance and intuitive support and ask for your guardianship of my journey and current questions. All hail and give thanks to the direction of the east.”Another way can be - to have a little alter or offering plate for that direction in your room. Or You can make your own circle with rocks in the backyard to meditate in, or sit in and face that direction when asking for support...Or simply sit and face the direction wherever you are while you write or sit calmly to meditate to ask for assistance. Now onto the directions themselves...EastThe East is often where we enter a circle and begin our journey. It represents the mental body, childhood, and the spring season. Think about spring as becoming aware of new creation, when ideas show up within your consciousness. It's when something seems to come from nothing or light comes from darkness. It's where we create our vision. If you feel empty, you can look to the East to bring awareness. If you are stressed, you look to the East to heal from trauma (or PTSD). This is where we seek purification, healing, and renewal.SouthThe South represents the emotional body, adolescence, and the summer season. It's where we work out our emotions and relationships with others. We experiment with people, ideas, and experiences. It is the time for taking our vision and testing it out (or going on a vision quest). We test out our values and identity to understand what works for us vs. what others teach us. As we look to the South, we can move from confusion to wisdom. It's also a place where we learn patience and commitment, moving from feeling like we have to have a result right now, to being willing to put in the time and work for those results. If you need guidance on a relationship issue with family, friends or coworkers, look to the South for support.WestThe West represents the physical body, adulthood, and the fall season. It is where our ideas are coming into physical form and we can see them in action. It's a time when we recognize that we have to show up and do the work to create the results we want in our lives. We begin to understand and honor that we are physical beings on an important journey. It is a time to right the ship, get unstuck, shake things off, and move forward in our lives. This often includes letting go of limiting beliefs and holding true to our values. We learn that it's important to honor and take care of ourselves because we now know the difference between self-care and being selfish. If we are willing to respect ourselves and others, we also bring humility to the wisdom of maturity, which is the goal. If you need guidance on finding the right course of action in life or a circumstance, you know kind of cleansing that shadow work we talked about earlier… let the West help you remove the past to outline your future (either immediate or long term).NorthThe North represents the spiritual body, the elder, and the winter season. The North is the true source of all things, Creator, Orenda, or Great Spirit energy. In this direction, we understand the process of change and recognize that we find our place in the world by seeing things through to their completion. We work on caring vs. apathy and we realize that we can't receive care and love from others until we care for and love ourselves. In this direction, we often find clarity and deep wisdom. We no longer fear not having the answers because we trust being led. If you need help with self-care or caring for others, look to the North for guidance.DownThe downward direction represents Mother Earth and our connection to her, along with our connection to the soil. We learn that our Mother, the Earth, is always there supporting us. In this direction, we realize we have the opportunity for growth and as we feel our connection to Mother Earth, we are always safe. If you are not feeling supported, heard, or helped in your journey, look down to the earth for grounding guidance.UpThis upward direction represents Father Sky and your higher self. Looking in this direction, you recognize that you are part of the circle of life, the intersection of eternity. This is where you learn to become who you are and give of yourself from this place. If you want to connect to your intuition and higher self, look up and ask for daily support to awaken and tap in.CenterThe center of the circle is you. It's where you realize that you are in the locus of control. You can shed everything others have told you. You stop looking to other people to tell you what to do and listen to your own body and inner wisdom. You focus on being who you are with authenticity. Feeling yourself in the center of the circle can be tremendously transformational because you can look to all other directions and honor all emotions without fearing the negative ones. This is where you can find meaning on your journey, even if you are in a phase of your life that is particularly difficult. Find your inner strength and trust that your wellbeing is in your hands. Similar to up, looking within, to your center will also help you connect with your intuition. Put both hands on your heart as you close your eyes and focus on your center, which will remind you of your strength if you are feeling weak.The Medicine Wheel is represented in a circle to remind us of this continuous cycle. We are taught that this is the circle our ancestors walked. In this circle, we carry our ancestors and their strength within us. We carry their lessons and their dreams. This reminds us that we are never alone. It reminds us that we can call on our ancestors for guidance because they've walked the circle for thousands of years before us. This deep history is very grounding and can provide support and guidance through trauma, stress, or grief.I'll be sure to link a photo of the wheel in the episode notes, and I'll be sharing info on instagram for guidance and coursework on this too!// Mindful & Metaphysical:Interestingly enough, science shows there is retinol tissue in the location of your “third eye” that has neurotransmitters, the same connective receptors that speak to your brain (yes, the same way your eyes do to show visual cues). So we literally have a third eye, it's not just a woo-woo expression save for yogis and meditation gurus. By accessing your pineal gland, and working with your third eye, you can unlock your inner consciousness and intuition. You'll be shown ways to let life in, and feel supported in every aspect of your life, while having your deepest desires manifested.Researchers at Leeds University analyzed a hefty pile of research papers on intuition. They concluded that intuition is a very real psychological process where the brain uses past experiences and cues from the self and the environment to make a decision. The decision happens so quickly that it doesn't register on a conscious level. Intuition exists in all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, and the more we can learn about it, the more we can use it to shape our lives for the better.Basically, the human brain has two ‘operating systems'. The first is quick, instinctual and effortless. This is where our intuition lies. Intuition works by drawing on patterns collected by our experience and when we have to make a quick decision about whether something is real, fake, feels good, feels bad, right or wrong, we draw on these patterns. It all happens ‘offline', outside our conscious awareness. The second operating system is slower to respond. It's more analytical and deliberate and it's conscious.Science has found real evidence to support the existence of intuition. There was aw wonderful study performed called, “Deciding advantageously before knowing the advantageous strategy” which showed how the intuitive part of our brain knows the right answer long before the more analytical part.In this study, participants played a card game which, unknown to the participants, was rigged from the beginning. Participants had to choose from one of two decks of cards. One was rigged to provide big wins, then big losses. The other – small gains but hardly any losses.The participants reported that after 50 cards, they had a hunch about which deck was safer. After 80 they were able to explain the difference between the two decks.But here's where it gets interesting – after only 10 cards, the sweat glands on the palms of their hands opened whenever they took from the dangerous deck. It was then that participants started to prefer the safer deck but there was no conscious awareness that this was happening. So, before the analytical part of their brain knew what was going on, the subjects' intuition guided them towards a better decision. Pretty cool, right?I also want to share insight from a great Forbes article, where Dr. Judith Orloff MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA and author of Guide To Intuitive Health and The Empath's Survival Guide has a private practice where she works with women executives who come to her to develop their intuition. They see it as a ‘superpower' to use in all decisions at work as well as a guide for how to be good leaders and organizers.According to Dr. Orloff, scientists believe intuition operates through the entire right side of our brain, the brain's hippocampus and through our gut (the digestive system has neurons as well). And this is where it gets interesting for us ladies. Women's corpus callosum, the connective white matter that connects our left and right brain hemispheres together, is thicker than men's. This more substantial brain super highway gives us women better and faster abilities to access each hemisphere, further integrating our emotion and gut feelings with the more logical left hemisphere into our decision making process. Basically women's brains have superpowers and are actually optimized for rapid intuitive decision making. No offense to the boys, certainly they have intuitions, and strong ones at that, they may just have to work on thickening their corpus callosum to connect their hemispheres and bring on more intuitive guidance!- - - - - - - - - - -As always, thank you for reading along, listening to, sharing, and subscribing, and don't forget to stay Mindful & Divine.x.shanaMindful Divine WebsitePodcast • YouTube • Book • InstagramQuestions?
