One way or another, we must have been in a situation that triggered us to ask ourselves, “Why does it happen so easily for others and not for me? WHY CAN’T IT BE ME?”
But you see, if we live having that mindset, we will never find peace. Our lives will be a series of meaningless transactions, only doing things in exchange for something.
In today’s episode, we’ll mull over the key to living your life on purpose. Surprisingly, the key is far less complicated than you’d think.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR:
Does everything really happen for a reason? [9:07]
Luck, chance and probability
There is meaning in everything
Choosing to believe that everything works out the way for our best good
Living a life believing that miracles can happen
Having your faith tested [15:18]
Why is it so easy for others but not for me?
Am I not doing enough?
Having a transactional relationship with God (and other people)
Choosing the life you want to live
There are answers to your questions—God is trying to teach you something
The haze of having your faith tested [27:29]
Not wanting your hopes up
Making sure that your authentic self is a good person
Navigating the haze [31:02]
Not losing the spark of hope, but when things don’t turn your way, you understand that it’s not the end of the world
Having a healthy relationship with hope and faith
Not being great because you want something back, just doing it because that’s who you are
