Quote: True strength doesn't come from your character but from your willingness to go beyond it. ~Gary John Bishop
In this episode, we dive deep into this quote. Sara shared her difficult experience with the closing on her investment property, and how it tested her character yet she chose to go beyond it. We talked a lot about character, which is a great thing to have, but if we don’t push ourselves beyond our current character, then we don’t grow. We need to go beyond our feelings and really stay true to our mission and what it is that we want. In every challenging situation, we can either play the role of the victim or the victor. It all boils down to our willingness to go beyond our character. If we respond the same way we have always responded expecting different results, we will be frustrated and disappointed. That is just how it works. Our thoughts and character are our choice.
Lisa mentioned the book The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. In it, Micheal encourages us to let go of the thoughts and feelings that are not serving us. This helps us to go beyond our own current character and into a place of growth. Being willing to step beyond our present character is the first necessary step in this journey.
