Blessings From Your Past

Published: June 21, 2017, 6:04 p.m.
Duration: 3 minutes 22 seconds Notes from this episode: Have you had a dream for your future that you think is lost because of things that have happened in your life? Story of Moses:
  • born to an Israelite family, raised by Pharaoh\\u2019s daughter in the palace as her son.
  • at 40 years old, lost his temper and killed an Egyptian guard
  • ran away to the desert to live
  • became a shepherd
  • at 80 years old, God told him to go to Egypt and tell Pharaoh to let God\\u2019s people go
  • Israelites finally freed
  • then Moses job to lead them through the wilderness
At some point in our lives, most of us feel like life has passed us by. We give up on our dreams because we feel like it\\u2019s too late, we messed up too badly. That\\u2019s how Moses felt when he lost everything because he lost his temper. But all of the things that Moses went through were needed so that he could help his people.
  • Moses knew how to approach Pharaoh and talk to him.
  • He knew how to live in the wilderness and how to lead
He thought he was unqualified, but Moses\\u2019 past trained him for his future. Is God using a past experience of yours to help someone else? Your past experiences can be a blessing to other people. Have a great week and keep dreaming, it\'s not too late, Carol'

Lessons From the Ditchdigger's Daughters

Published: May 22, 2017, 4:36 p.m.
Duration: 4 minutes Notes From This Episode: My motivation for today is from a book that was later made into a movie.
  • In 1950s, father was a ditchdigger and mother a cleaning lady and they had six daughters.
  • He wanted them to have a good education and a better life.
  • Believed always something more to strive for - if you think you\'ve made it, you lose it.
  • Choose your rabbits and chase after them, see what others have done to be successful - my experience with chasing a rabbit.
  • Working hard is a law like the law of gravity and will result in success.
  • The results of their hard work.
  • The father always said "If the door doesn\'t open, climb through a window. If the window is closed, try to get in through the cellar. If that\'s locked, climb on the roof and try to get in the chimney. There\'s always a way if you keep trying."
  • What dream are you trying to achieve?
I believe in you, have a great day, Carol'

Finding Your Potential

Show Notes From This Episode:
Get out of your comfort zone because people need what you know.

Take a big sheet of paper and list the following:

  • All the things, large or small, that you know how to do. They might be easy for you, but not for everyone.
  • All the experiences you have.
  • All the things you are often asked to do.
  • All the things people think you are good at.

I mention a lot of examples of experiences and skills you may have to get you thinking. Ways you can help people because of your expertise and experiences. There are also a number of ideas in this podcast for getting your story out to people and ways to do that using Internet tools.

Note: I didn\'t mention it on the podcast, but if you want to do the one on one live training that I mentioned, I recommend using Zoom. You can even use it to train a group. Zoom is a great tool and gives you not only a video recording of your session, but an audio one as well.

Here\'s to using all the potential God has given you,
Carol

Gaining Clarity Exercise

Published: April 24, 2017, 6:56 p.m.
Duration: 1 minute 55 seconds Notes from this episode: Brain Fitness Expert Tip - An easy exercise that does something to the connectors in your brain. It wakes up your brain, helps listening and makes you better able to focus. Start at the top of your ears and knead them gently from top to bottom, both ears at the same time, and it works on both sides of your brain. It really worked to give me clarity about a problem I had to figure out. Have a great day and keep learning, Carol'

Recognizing Your Abilities

Published: Feb. 13, 2017, 6:04 p.m.
Duration: 1 minute 38 seconds

Download the episode here
Reading my Bible in the morning and singing a bit helps me to have a more positive start to my day. Consider this verse:

Romans 12:6 says "God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well."

We don\'t realize that and think everyone can do those things, but that\'s not true. Make a list of all the things you can do well. Don\'t ever feel you have nothing to offer. Others need exactly what you have!

Have a wonderful new day,
Carol

Most Richly Blessed

Welcome to my new podcast! I\'m planning to release a new episode every Monday. Below are the show notes. I hope you enjoy this new feature.

Most Richly Blessed

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given Life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for, but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men, most richly blessed.
