S2. E41. Off the Cuff: Stop Questioning Yourself

Natalie: 00:00:01

Stop questioning yourself.

2

: 00:00:03

You're on the right path And that might

be hard to believe and maybe everything's

3

: 00:00:08

not working out the way that you want

it to And maybe you're not seeing the

4

: 00:00:12

fruits of your labor yet But don't worry

just keep going A lot of times we are on

5

: 00:00:21

the right path and things are starting

to work out in our favor But then we

6

: 00:00:25

sabotage them because we're impatient

or we think you know what this is not

7

: 00:00:29

at all Working so let me change it.

8

: 00:00:31

Let me pivot and let me go to something

else But really the seed was just

9

: 00:00:37

starting to grow but it was growing

underneath the ground so you couldn't

10

: 00:00:40

see it But if you could just hold out

for a while and just really give that

11

: 00:00:46

seed some time to grow You would see year

maybe two years, maybe three years That

12

: 00:00:54

seed would eventually break ground and

everything you've been working so hard

13

: 00:00:58

for these these last past months past

years You would see that they would all

14

: 00:01:04

be working themselves out for your favor.

15

: 00:01:08

I myself have really

experienced this this year.

16

: 00:01:13

Within the month of September, between

September and October, I had three very

17

: 00:01:21

significant things happen in my life.

18

: 00:01:24

Things that I had been

wanting for a long time.

19

: 00:01:29

They weren't happening and

it was a bit frustrating.

20

: 00:01:33

I'm not gonna lie.

21

: 00:01:35

And a part of me is like,

why isn't this happening?

22

: 00:01:36

This should have happened.

23

: 00:01:38

I think I'm on the right path.

24

: 00:01:39

I think I'm doing the right things.

25

: 00:01:41

Why isn't it opening the doors?

26

: 00:01:43

But then in September it was the

trifecta and these three things

27

: 00:01:48

happened to me all at the same time.

28

: 00:01:51

Big, significant life changes that really

are the, the sum of just a lot of things

29

: 00:01:58

I've been praying for and working towards.

30

: 00:02:01

So I had two options prior to this.

31

: 00:02:03

I could have just stopped

and said, you know what?

32

: 00:02:05

Nothing's working.

33

: 00:02:06

I give up on my dreams.

34

: 00:02:08

I'm just gonna, I'm just

going to coast through life.

35

: 00:02:12

Or the other option is, well, nothing's

happening yet, but let me just keep going.

36

: 00:02:17

And guess which one I chose.

37

: 00:02:19

I chose to keep going.

38

: 00:02:21

I kept going.

39

: 00:02:22

I kept believing that one day

the dreams I had would come true.

40

: 00:02:26

I kept those dreams very

much present in my head.

41

: 00:02:31

And I just kept working towards them.

42

: 00:02:34

Not necessarily working.

43

: 00:02:35

You're looking towards the outcome

but what are the things I would

44

: 00:02:37

need to do for those dreams to

become a reality in the first place?

45

: 00:02:42

Because there's only so

much I can control, right?

46

: 00:02:44

I can't control the outcome.

47

: 00:02:46

But I can control my input.

48

: 00:02:49

I can control what I do on my end.

49

: 00:02:52

So I just kept doing the things

that I knew I was supposed to

50

: 00:02:55

do, or doing the things that I

thought I was supposed to do.

51

: 00:02:58

Because sometimes you

don't really know for sure.

52

: 00:03:00

We don't have a manual that tells us 100

percent if you do XYZ then XYZ Life is

53

: 00:03:07

not an algebraic formula, even though

it would be nice sometimes if it was.

54

: 00:03:13

But I just kept going.

55

: 00:03:15

And so that's my encouragement to

you is stop questioning yourself.

56

: 00:03:18

Whatever the dreams are that you have,

whatever the desires are that you have in

57

: 00:03:22

your heart, they're there for a reason.

58

: 00:03:24

So just keep going.

59

: 00:03:26

Don't worry about actually getting to the

dream, actually accomplishing the dream.

60

: 00:03:31

Just worry about what are the steps

that you're doing right now, what are

61

: 00:03:34

the actions you are doing right now

that could contribute and lead to.

62

: 00:03:40

And honestly, the universe will

just take care of the rest.

63

: 00:03:45

So stop questioning yourself.

64

: 00:03:47

Be confident in your dreams.

65

: 00:03:49

They have value and they matter and you

are deserving of those dreams coming true.

66

: 00:03:55

But I can tell you one thing,

those dreams will never come true.

67

: 00:03:58

If you just sit on your

butt and do nothing.

68

: 00:04:01

So continue to be led by inspiration.

69

: 00:04:05

Continue to be led by creativity.

70

: 00:04:07

Continue to be led by power.

71

: 00:04:10

because those feelings are strong.

72

: 00:04:14

Those emotions are strong and

they will guide you in the right

73

: 00:04:17

path and allow you to do the right

activities and the right steps that

74

: 00:04:22

will lead you closer to your dreams.

75

: 00:04:25

Until next time, continue to serve

yourself, your loved ones, and

76

: 00:04:28

your communities from a full cup.
