We know that we want to hunger and thirst for God, but sometimes we just... don't. And yet, each day we spend on this earth is a holy opportunity to live in an eternally meaningful way. If we fail to do that, the opportunity is lost forever. If we allow ourselves to wrap up in the wrong things, the implications are profound. If we allow ourselves to love the world more than our Savior, the results are tragic. So, is there a way to cultivate desire for God in our lives where it lacks? We think so! In this episode I'm so excited to introduce you to a very important person in my life. She is one of my long-time best friends, and I think you'll quickly see why I count her as such a blessing. Please join us as we talk about: the principle of discipline before desire how to really find time to spend with God as a busy mother or individual the fruit born in our lives through patient endurance   Additional Resources Kristi's chronological reading plan: A tried and true Bible reading plan for the linear thinker. :) Why You Should Read the Bible Through in a Year in 2018 blog post-- Similar to this podcast in a summarized, consumable and sharable format.

Today we’re going to be doing something a little bit different. If you’ve been listening to the show for any amount of time you know we tend to have people who fall into one of three categories. We have media professionals who are producers, high ranked journalists or podcasters looking for experts just like you. We also have people using the media to catapult their business to the next level. The third type is somebody who’s out there living an amazing story, helping others do the same and is going to help you become a better story. I am a firm believer that everything is story. We are defined by the stories we tell ourselves, our reality is defined by the stories we see around us that we carry in the back of our minds whether we’re aware of them or not. That tends to either propel us forward or hold us back. Nobody knows that better then my guest today, Pascale Landriault. She is a certified HR profession and a postmaster in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). She is also a life and business coach and her specialty is helping folks design the career of their dreams. NLP: Neuro Linguistic Programming is a practical approach to help people achieve their goals or achieve any kind of transformation. NLP is a series of models based on people who have had success in certain areas. It will help people improve their behavior if their behavior is not helping them out. It can either help them expand their capabilities or even alter or improve internal states. It’s also very big in facilitating communication. Perfectionism: Perfectionists live in the illusion that perfection can be reached, but it actually can’t be reached. They live in perpetual insatisfaction. They are rarely satisfied with their work or anyone else’s work. They are afraid of making mistakes, afraid of failure, have difficulty delegating and often say “I should have “or “I could have”. How to know you’re a perfectionist: If any of the above applies to you. If you’re sensitive to criticism, have an all or nothing attitude, have difficulty accepting your limits, are afraid of asking or receiving help, feel like you always need to be in control and feel like if you quit being a perfectionist you will stop performing and become mediocre or lazy. Tips for the perfectionist: The first step is to become conscience of your tendency to be a perfectionist and really evaluate the impact of your behavior. Make the decision to change. Identify your beliefs around perfectionism and change them. For example one belief could be “I should not make mistakes”. Challenge it by asking yourself if that’s really true. What is the worst that could happen if this were true? Identify your beliefs, question them and then find three examples in your life where the opposite is true and write them down. There is a recommended book by Byron Katie titled Loving What Is. It is based on her technique called “the work” which is really working on thoughts and belief systems that aren’t necessarily useful to us. Tips for the procrastinator: Take your goal or plan and cut it up into smaller, manageable bites. Take each activity and put it in order of priority Give a time limit for each activity To find out more about Pascale’s work and how she can help you overcome procrastination and perfectionism and step sideways into a career and life of your dreams visit Pascale Landriault's website here The Big Leap, Conscious Loving Ever After, Lasting Love and Five Wishes are available in audio format on audible.com or you can find any one of Gay’s 30 books on Amazon or at your local bookstore.

    Ever found a book that seemed to contain all the secrets you’ve been struggling to unlock and then have that book pop into your life right when you need it the most? That’s how I felt when I cracked open the spine of The Big Leap, one of thirty books written by my guest Gay Hendricks. Gay earned his degree in Counseling Psychology from Stanford University and has been a leader in the field of relationship transformation and body-mind therapy for more than forty-five years. I’ve come to truly believe that one of the biggest business breakthroughs will happen on the heels of a personal breakthrough. Your business breakthroughs are almost always if not always related to personal breakthroughs and the central theme of The Big Leap confirms this. Upper limit: In The Big Leap Gay Hendricks puts forth the idea that most human beings have an upper limit. We have a glass ceiling, a set point for happiness. The moment you hit that glass ceiling (which is invisible unless you go looking for it) you will find a way to self sabotage and bring your happiness level down to something that’s a little more comfortable. The Big Leap: Gay Hendricks first discovered the upper limit problem in himself when he was thirty. He began to become aware that when things would be going well he would find some way to sabotage himself so that he came back down to where he was before or worse. In working with clients in his therapy practice he began to look for this and found that’s pretty much a universal human concern. This led him into figuring out exactly why this occurs and The Big Leap is the result of what he discovered over the next thirty years. Unique ability: Every human being if they are sensitive to themselves and begin to inquire gently and mindfully into themselves will discover they have one really unique ability. This will be something that they are so attuned to and good at that it becomes an effortless way of expressing their true genius in the world. There’s a phrase from one of the gospels that didn’t make it into the official Bible, the Gospel of Thomas. It says “If you bring forth what is within you, what is within you will save you. But if you don’t bring forth what is within you, what is within you will destroy you.” We are both beckoned by and fear the expression of our fullest potential, the big fears deep in ourselves. Extreme circumstances: Everyone, no matter where they are in life can find areas where they are limiting themselves about how happy they could be. It hasn’t been tested out whether someone can be happy in extreme circumstances but most situations in life are not that dire. Most of us manage to keep ourselves miserable even in circumstances where we don’t need to be miserable. Four Big Fears Fear of outshining other people. This fear often comes to us as children when we compare ourselves to our brothers and sisters. Fear of creating more burden. The yearning to do something beyond what you’re doing now but not doing it is resisting the added burden to your life. This fear is not based in reality and can evaporate once you begin to work with it a bit. Fear of leaving behind or being disloyal to people who were there for you in your past. Fear that something is fundamentally wrong with you. You haven’t really done anything wrong but it’s something someone accused you of so you take on this guilt as if you’ve committed some imaginary crime. Einstein time: Someone once asked Einstein to explain the theory of relativity in simple terms. He responded “An hour with your beloved goes by like a minute, but a minute sitting on a hot stove goes by like an hour.” If you’re in a painful situation you’re trying to withdraw from the experience and in the act of withdrawing time slows down and becomes a factor. When you’re with your beloved your cells are wide open and you’re experiencing the flow of love and time becomes irrelevant. When you find out you’re resisting time that’s a sign that you’re not tapped into your genius.
