Is Backwards Really Worse?
You've Got to Believe it to See it
"I'll believe it when I see it" - we've all thought it, we've probably all said it, but what if the entire premise is wrong.
Every time I've tried to chase down a scary goal or make a big change in my life I do a risk/reward or cost/benefit analysis in my head. Ultimately I come to the same conclusion - if the result was guaranteed by certain date and come a certain way, then the goal wouldn't be scary. The scary part is all the risk and all the reward have to be put in up front and reward is "out there" somewhere.
One thing I know for sure - if I DON'T put in the work I will FOR SURE miss out on the reward. So the conclusion is this ..."I need to see it to believe it." is a cop out. It's a trick that our lizard brain uses to keep us safe and comfortable. The truth is that we need to believe it FIRST, then we'll take the actions that will allow us to see it.
How do you do that? Step one = listen to the podcast ...the rest is...
The POWER in Forgiveness
Responsibility is not blame - responsibility is your ABILITY to respond, it is taking ownership of reality instead living within the fantasy of what SHOULD be.
Responsibility and Freedom are directly proportional - the more responsibility you take in your life, the more freedom you experience. When that responsibility is connected to being hurt or offended, we call it forgiveness.
Forgiveness is about CHOOSING to let go of the IMPACT of an event. It’s offering yourself the opportunity to regain the energy that’s wasted when you hold on to the hurts, the slights, and the pains of the past.
- Not about pretending something didn’t happen
- Not about pretending there was no pain
- Not about pretending that there aren’t times when people are cruel on purpose
It IS about letting go of the impact on us

This isn't new to you - you've already had events in your life that made you feel as if everything was course, there's too much uncertainty, I'm isolated, I am limited, and this is going to hold me back.

Whit's Search for Meaning
The lesson to hold on to our value rather hand it over to others might be the most difficult, yet important lesson we learn in life. Sometimes those moments where our worth seems to be stomped on and thrown away can be the most empowering when we are willing to take 100% responsibility for the wisdom they offer.
