Her Journey Towards Change Life Coaching Laura Conrad

The hatred or the love for good vs. bad is what either divides us or unties us. The hatred or love for God is what either divides us or untite us. I've heard it said that there's a fine line between love and hate and I'm seeing this more and more, in the world we live.

In today's episode, I want to talk about how COMPASSION, the comapssion Jesus showed and the comapssion we can show to others, can make a difference in the world we live in.

I share five ways that Jesus shared compassion to others without judgement, even while he was dying on the cross.

Compassion can help us see beyonfd our own needs and desires and to focus on what truly matters in life. So, whether we believe in God or not, the act of showing compassion and helping others can bring a sense of connection, purpose, and fulfillment that can enrich our lives and the lives of others.

The world is hurting. The world is missing some key ingredients of love, compassion, kindess and understanding. May we come together to help fill this void.

Thank you for listening in and come back for the next episode.
In the meantime... Trust Your Journey. Trust the Change and Trust God to see You through.

If you could count happiness in dollar bills, how rich do you think you would be this very moment? This is obviuosly a hypothetical question but the fact remains, there is a hypothetical answer for each of us. And I'm sure we could all say, it depends on the day. I get that. No one day will be the same. For every day we live, we will have different circumstances, different obstacles, and a different perspective.

So how is it even possible to to measure our happiness? How can we know the wealth of our happiness? First, I think we have to know what happiness really is. What does it mean to be happy? What does it look or feel like? How do we know we are happy? And if we're not, how do we obtain happiness? and second, what does God say about it? Does He even promise us happiness?

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, happiness is the feeling of being pleased or happy. The definition of "feeling" is a fact of feeling something physical. Pleased means happy or satisfied. So, it is basically a physical feeling of satisfaction. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Happiness is a feeling expressed outwardly. And it comes and goes, depending on our circumstances. We can be influenced to be happy or unhappy depending on factors surrounding us. If we are around someone who is laughing, we can also start laughing. Picture yourself in a crowd, at football game or an event. If your team is winning, you...along with the crowd, can be happy. If your team is losing, you and the crowd around you can be unhappy. Happiness and unhappiness and be contagious. It can be imitated and expressed outwardly. And I believe happiness is a choice. It's a choice because it can be dictated by oiur emotions of the moment we are in. Not only is it a choice, but it can be material based. We are always searching for that next thing to bring us happiness.That new car. A bigger house. A better job. We choose what makes us happy and sometimes, it's never enough. So we continue looking for that person, place or thing to make us happy. Sadly, it's not found in material things because there will always be something better. We will always want to upgrade. And, finding happiness in someone else is not the answer because we are imperfect people. We have flaws and sooner or later, that happiness will be lost when that person let's you down. Don't get me wrong. Happiness is a good thing. It's one of the many emotions God has created us to feel. I can't imagine not having a sense of happiness and feeling a smile across my face. Happiness is a good feeling. But that's my point. It's a feeling.

So, what do we do when we realize momey, people, places and things can't buy happiness? We look inward. Where do we find true meaning of happiness? Something deeper? Something reliable no matter what our life circumstances may be. That would be this thing called joy.

According to the very same dictionary, joy is defined as great happiness. I respectfully disagree. I believe the two are completely different. Happiness and joy are not dependant on one another. Happiness doesn't bring joy nor does joy come from happiness.

Miriam Webster defines joy as the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or by good fortune, or by the prospect of possessing what one desires. Author and minister, Rick Warren, says this about joy: " Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life, the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be alright and the determined choice to praise God in every situation."

I can definitely relate to Rick Warren's idea of joy. For me, my spiritual joy can not be lost and can not be taken. It is deep within me that no one else can take or remove unless I allow it. And allowing that to happen is a choice.

There's a video that went viral and it's posted on YouTube that I absolutely love. You might have seen it. It's a preschool class singing during...

It's Monday and I want to share some motivation about the "what if's" we have when we doubt and how it can mess with our mindset and keep us from moving forward with all the things we want to accomplish.

It's so easy to go through life asking ourselves...What if it's too hard? What if I can't do it? What if I'm not good enough? What if I get rejected? What if they don't understand? What if I start and stop again, or quit on that goal, What if I fail?

This type of anxious thinking is negative. It takes away our freedom from what could be possible. These are the silent lies we subconsciously think and allow to control us. And as common as it is, it doesn't have to be this way. There is a better way.

The next time you doubt. The next time you find yourself asking "what if"?...think this instead.,, WHEN GOD.

When God sees my need. When God hears my heart. When God knows my struggle. When God shows the way. When God gives me clarity. When God heals my heart. When God knows what's best. When God answers my prayer.

Let go of the "what if" I fail mindset and think WHEN GOD...because He only wants what's best for us. He won't let us down. He knows our past. He know our present. And He knows our future. And He will answer, someway someday and make the "what if's" disappear.

There is nothing He can't do. No struggle too hard. No circumstance impossible.

So if you find yourself asking WHAT IF?...Don't go there. Remind yourself, WHEN GOD!

Philippians 4:6-7
Luke 1: 37
Proverbs 16:3
Psalm 23:4
John 15:7
Mark 11:24
Philippians 4:13

I hope this episode has encouraged you and your mindset will shift from the What If's to When God.

Faith is a powerful thing to have. It's a confidence in the grace of God that allows a positive mindset to happen.

I hope you come back Friday for another encouraging episode.
