While there are generational and external influences that can be similar for many folks...this is truly a personal discovery process. Nevin and I unpack what this process looks like, here's what we walk through together: - Recovering from the endless cycle of people pleasing - The universal "empty" feeling, and where it comes from - How to get self-worth from God - The right and wrong places to gain self-worth - This is so important...http://bit.ly/2asBgPDWorth from people lasts about 5 minutes. Trying to make yourself feel good by making others happy lasts about 5 minutes. How do you get that happiness from somewhere else? We've been trained. We're programmed to think,"If I don't take care of them in their struggles, I'm not a caring person, I'm a bad person. Or...it's the right thing to do."We have this unhealthy mindset:My worth tanks if I'm not constantly making someone else feel better or better about themselves.You have got to get yourself out of this place!I believe your greatest worth, period, is the act of love that happened with the cross.I want to hear from you on this! Comment below with your questions, challenges, solutions, or stories!Question: What is the best advice you've received about self-worth?http://bit.ly/2asBgPD

Be honest...how many "life hacks" are you trying implement this week? How many lists, habits and resources do you invest in monthly?Timeout. There are plenty of tools out there to fix "the problem" or increase your productivity.

"Many people, and you see this a lot with the younger folks as well, have not been trained to think for themselves. Listen! I'm calling out my own generation too."Today we are talking about surface level decision making.This is something that I see a lot of people doing, it is not only not the best way to make decisions, it is something that absolutely holds people back in their growth. We have not been trained how to make good decisions, and because of that, we end up with what I call surface level decision making.Definition: Making the first decision you see, or taking information from what's right in front of you, and not going any further. Coming up with the first thing that pops in your mind, and taking that as the answer.If this is you... you need a #mindset change.Five Strategies we dive into on this podcast:How to "solve the problem" with persepctiveMindset: digging in when decisions are complicated, impossible and painfulThe right way to research: taxing the collective intelligenceSpending time in prayerWrite it down!Wise people seek counsel.
