Do you feel stuck in panic mode, waking up anxious, producing out of pressure, and constantly comparing your work to everyone else's? Does your business feel chaotic, unclear, and fruitless even though you are doing more than ever? This episode speaks directly to that tension between striving and trust. I am sharing an interview I did on my friend Joy Johnson's podcast, The Journey of Becoming. We talk honestly about laying down worldly success, stepping out of comparison, and recognizing how chaos creeps in when we stop trusting the Holy Spirit to lead our work. When we try to control outcomes, carry everything ourselves, and rush results, peace disappears and clarity fades. This conversation invites you to slow down, take a breath, and let go of the striving. This is your reminder to take inventory of what is actually working, release what is not, and create space for God to speak again. If you feel stretched thin, unclear, and discouraged by a lack of fruit, this episode will help you realign and let God lead every part of your life and business. I pray this blesses you!

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1871Eric Thomas went to college for one reason: to be with his wife, Didi. That's it. Not for the degree, not for the career, just for her. So when they got married, he figured he was done. But she looked at him and said something that changed everything: "I can't be with you if you don't finish what you start." That moment launched him on a 12-year journey to complete a four-year degree while living with the weight of an absent father, growing up in abandoned warehouses, and getting kicked out of school. He didn't get his PhD until he was 44. And instead of seeing himself as behind, he realized something profound: the further you pull back a slingshot, the more powerful the release. His delays weren't failures. They were preparation for the impact he was meant to make.Here's what will hit you hardest about this conversation: Eric could have blamed everything and everyone for holding him down. The circumstances were real. The struggles were legitimate. But the breakthrough came when he realized the greatest enemy wasn't outside circumstances. It was himself. When you compare your timeline to someone else's, you're measuring your journey against someone who has completely different strengths, weaknesses, and purposes. The person graduating in four years might be heading toward a traditional job. You might be preparing to change the world. That takes longer. So stop judging yourself by someone else's clock. The obstacles only hold you down when you allow them to. When you shift from "outside inside" thinking to "inside out" living, everything changes. You're not behind. You're being developed.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Year of the Fire Horse and the Power of Becoming Welcome to Season Six of the Be-YOU-tiful Adaptive Warrior (BA Warrior) Podcast—a milestone that still takes my breath away. If you had told me years ago that I would be hosting a podcast, let alone entering its sixth season, I would have laughed. It was never a dream I set out to chase. And yet, here we are. Proof that life doesn't always unfold according to our plans—but often according to something far greater. If you're new here, I want to personally welcome you. And if you've been walking this road with me for years, please know how deeply grateful I am. Your messages, your comments, your shared stories, and your willingness to show up week after week are the reason this podcast exists. Be a Warrior is not something I do alone—it's something we build together. This podcast is rooted in amputee life. I am an above-knee amputee and have been for seven years. Everything I share comes from lived experience—the victories, the mistakes, the frustrations, the growth, and the moments that test every ounce of resilience. My hope has always been that by sharing my journey honestly, someone else might feel less alone in theirs. A New Season, A New Energy Season Six begins with a theme that feels deeply personal to me: the Year of the Horse—specifically, the Fire Horse. This year carries amplified energy, movement, instinct, and transformation. It also aligns beautifully with where I am in life right now. I recently completed my equine therapy certification, which allows me to bring the healing power of horses to others in a deeper, more intentional way. Horses have long been part of my life, but this year marks a turning point—where passion, purpose, and service come together. My goal for 2026 is to help expand access to equine therapy for overall well-being, especially for people navigating trauma, change, or physical loss. But before we talk about where we're going, let me tell you how this year actually started—because it wasn't graceful. A Rough Start and an Important Lesson My husband and I took a short getaway to Sedona, Arizona—a place that feels like a deep breath for the soul. We live in the desert, but a quick drive north brings cooler air, pine trees, red rocks, and a sense of escape. It was meant to be a simple, restorative weekend. In typical fashion, I packed last minute. I grabbed my makeup, hair products, clothes—and we were out the door. What I didn't grab? Two things no above-knee amputee should ever forget: My prosthetic charging cord The bag I use to pull my leg into my socket My bag to put my socket on….that I forgot. I realized the charging cord was missing first. Panic set in—until I checked my prosthetic's battery level. Eighty-two percent. I could manage one day. Then came the second realization. No bag. For those unfamiliar, I am a skin-fit amputee, meaning I don't use liners or traditional suction. My leg requires a specific bag to pull the skin properly into the socket. Without it, my prosthesis does not go on. No shortcuts. No substitutes—at least, not easily. I didn't sleep that night. I ran through every possible outcome: crutching around town, canceling plans, going home early. I was frustrated—not just because I forgot something critical, but because I knew better. Ironically, the reason I forgot was also a sign of progress. I had become so comfortable in my body, so confident in my mobility, that I wasn't thinking about “what ifs” anymore. My prosthesis had become as normal to me as legs are to two-legged people. Comfort is a gift—but complacency can be costly. Adaptation Is a Warrior Skill The next morning, I went into full problem-solving mode. I asked myself: What do I have? What can I use? Garbage bags wouldn't work—they'd tear. A standard pillowcase was too thick. Then I spotted a silk pillowcase. Thin. Slippery. Flexible. It wasn't perfect—but it worked. I was able to walk around town that day. I didn't hike, knowing my limits. When I got home later, I had blisters and raw skin—but I was mobile. I adapted. And that's what amputee life often requires: creativity, patience, resilience, and the willingness to meet challenges head-on. The Unpredictability of Phantom Pain Just days later, I was reminded again how unpredictable this journey can be. Despite having minimal phantom pain since my nerve revision surgery, I was suddenly hit with intense, stabbing sensations in a foot that no longer exists. The pain came in waves—sharp, jolting, and relentless. It lasted for hours and woke me from sleep. There was no obvious trigger. No overexertion. No trauma. Through experience, I've learned that phantom pain doesn't need permission. It arrives when it wants—and leaves when it's ready. What got me through wasn't panic. It was instinct. I ran through my mental checklist: Socket fit? Fine. Injury? No. Stress? Manageable. Weather? Stable. Hydration? Questionable. I drank water—lots of it. And the pain faded. Whether coincidence or correlation, I logged it as wisdom for the future. Always adapting! The Fire Horse Mentality The horse symbolizes freedom, movement, instinct, truth, nervous system wisdom, and connection over control—all things that resonate deeply with amputee life. Freedom didn't come to me through saving my leg. It came when I let it go. Movement returned not through endless surgeries, but through acceptance, adaptation, and the right prosthetic support. Instinct tells me when to rest, when to push, and when to trust that pain will pass. Truth asks me to acknowledge that this life is hard—but still meaningful. Horses understand nervous system regulation instinctively. As amputees, learning to regulate our own nervous systems is critical—not just for physical comfort, but emotional health. And perhaps most importantly: connection over control. Trying to control everything—our bodies, our recovery, our outcomes—often creates more suffering. Connection, whether to our prosthetist, our body, our community, or our faith, is what carries us forward. Stop Comparing. Start Living. One of the most destructive habits amputees fall into is comparison. Just because someone else is doing something you aren't doesn't mean you're failing. Different bodies. Different trauma. Different prosthetics. Different lives. You are not behind. You are not weak. You are not less than. Compare yourself only to who you were yesterday. A Call to Rise Season Six is about listening, connecting, trusting, and becoming. It's about letting go of the reins just enough to allow life—and faith—to lead. You are a warrior. Not because of what you've lost—but because of how you keep showing up. This year is a fresh page. A new chapter. Write it with courage. Live it with intention. And remember—you don't have to do it alone. Welcome to Season Six. Let's ride forward together. And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!! Much love, Rise up, Warriors!!!
Is it wrong to want a bigger business? Do you feel tension between wanting growth, income, and impact, and wondering if that desire pulls you off track spiritually? Many faith led entrepreneurs wrestle with guilt for wanting more, even when they feel clearly called to business. In this episode, we open Scripture to look at what God actually says about growth, stewardship, provision, and motive. We talk about the difference between building for self and building with God. You will learn how ambition and obedience can coexist when your heart stays aligned with Him. This conversation clears up the confusion between worldly striving and Kingdom growth. If you have felt shame for wanting financial increase, clients, or greater impact, this episode will lift that weight. You will walk away with clarity, peace, and confidence to build the business God is inviting you to steward, without fear, guilt, or hesitation. I pray this blesses you!

Happy Mindset Monday!Comparison is quiet — but it's powerful. And if left unchecked, it can convince you that you're falling behind even when you're growing.In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, I unpack why comparison drains confidence, steals joy, and disconnects us from our own progress — and how gratitude and intention help bring us back to ourselves.
“Why is my refund smaller than my friend's?” Dr. Friday explains why comparing tax results rarely helps—and what you should do instead. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. What can we do to save taxes? That’s the first thing most people ask when we’re working on their taxes. Nothing wrong with it—it's a great question, I love it. But you have to figure out that what advice I give you is based on your situation, because what happens often is they say, “Well, you know, my neighbor doesn’t pay this kind of money in taxes. My friend just did their taxes and they got this big refund and they’re making about the same as we are.” One, most people never share exactly what they’re making. Two, you don’t know if they have losses—maybe they lost some money, maybe they have more children. You’re not sure what the situation is. So if you really want to know how to save tax dollars, you need to make a tax appointment and let’s talk about your taxes. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.
The Misfit Behaviorists - Practical Strategies for Special Education and ABA Professionals
Some days it feels like every classroom around you is perfectly color-coded, freshly laminated, and Instagram-ready… and yours is, well, real life. In this Misfit Minute, Audra shares a mindset reset for teachers who feel stuck in the comparison spiral. Your classroom doesn't need to look like anyone else's—your heart work is what changes lives. These five quick tips help you shift from comparing to caring so you can focus on what truly matters: your students.
Send us a textWhen betrayal detonates in a relationship, it doesn't just break trust—it distorts time, identity, and daily rhythms. We open up about the questions women ask in the aftermath: how to stop comparing yourself to “the other woman,” whether the marriage you remember was ever real, why love can survive alongside anger, and how to hear your intuition again when trauma has turned the volume up on fear.Across the conversation, we ground big emotions in clear, practical steps. You'll learn why affairs live in a neurochemical fantasy that isn't about your worth, how to reclaim your timeline without erasing the joy you truly felt, and what it means to separate love from harmful behavior. We dig into the markers of genuine repair—remorse, consistent action, and movement—and teach a simple filter for decisions: do I feel safe, seen, and supported? We also walk through micro-practices that rebuild self-trust, from keeping small promises to replacing busyness with calming rituals that let your inner compass speak.If you're wrestling with “Am I staying for love or fear?” we offer a framework to spot fear talk, assess who's doing the work, and give yourself time unless there's danger. The goal isn't perfection; it's steadiness. You're allowed to choose a future that protects your peace, whether that means rebuilding together with accountability or charting a new path with courage. Listen for validation, leave with tools, and remember: compassion and curiosity are your best allies in healing.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review to help others find these tools.

Do you ever catch yourself believing your child's behavior or performance is a direct reflection of you as a mom? Maybe you compare how quickly they're learning to read or how many words they're saying with the kids around them. Or maybe, when they act out, you feel like you've failed—and the yelling, controlling, and striving begins. Striving in motherhood is sneaky. It shows up in the way we compare, the way we push, and the way we try to control our kids—often because we're carrying pressure that God never asked us to carry. In this episode, I walk you through how striving sneaks into motherhood, the damage it causes, and most importantly, how to step into peace, freedom, and trust in God as you raise your kids. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Stop Comparing, Start BecomingIn Part 2, we go deeper into identity, purpose, and the difference between arrival and becoming. Brandon and Rocky unpack strength, sensitivity, and the courage to choose yourself when the metrics disappear. This is a candid look at letting go of comparison and building a life you're proud to lead—at home first.Episode Highlights. Define your dream after the dream ends, and why that matters now.. Arrival is temporary, fulfillment lives in the journey you choose daily.. Redefining strong: sensitivity, honesty, and letting the guard down at home.. The trap of chasing pride from strangers instead of love from your people.. A powerful reframe: future vision, present position, past posture.. Why comparison to your former self will exhaust you and how to stop.. The “choose you” challenge every parent and partner needs to hear.. Becoming over arriving: the next 10 miles are yours to design.Get To Know Our GuestBrandon Finnegan is from Fort Worth, Texas, and played college baseball at TCU before being selected in the first round, 17th overall, of the 2014 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals.

You'll learn: ✅ Why God uses willing hearts, not polished performances. ✅ How to stop overthinking the gospel and simply ask, “Would you like to invite Jesus into your heart?” ✅ What Elijah's cave story teaches us about burnout, rest, and God's gentle whisper. ✅ Why comparing your ministry to others steals your joy and effectiveness. ✅ How to let go of fear and lead with courage.

Why do we keep comparing AI to humans? Jaron Lanier — virtual reality pioneer, digital philosopher, and the author of several best-selling books on technology — thinks that we should stop. In his view, technology is only valuable if it has beneficiaries. So instead of asking "What can AI do?," we should be asking, "What can AI do for us?" In today's episode, Jaron and Sean discuss a humanist approach to AI and how changing our understanding of AI tools could change how we use, develop, and improve them.
