Are you standing in your own way?
Author, friend, and fellow “big dreamer”, Amy Druhot, recently had me on her Just Brave It Podcast and we had an absolute blast.
We talked all things Unapologetic in relation to her Fulfillment Formula™
Most of our discussion was stories I’ve shared, messages that are on my heart, and the mission I hope to serve. The “who”, “why”, and “how” are all relatively defined for me and a large part of the message in my book, Unapologetic.
But as we approached the end of the episode, Amy asked me a fantastic question that I hadn’t been asked before.
It’s not a secret at this point that a big part of what I train and coach on is my concept Love em Down™. Not only is this one of my favorite chapters in the book, but it’s quickly becoming a mindset that’s sparking conversation and mindset shifts across the country.
The broad ideas is that when we show up with kindness, love, and service, no matter what’s on the other side, we will have opportunities to see the light in people that others may not get to see.
We grow relationships, spark positivity, and challenge the current narrative surrounding leadership (leave the scare tactics at the door please).
Are you wondering what she asked me?
She said, “What do we do if ‘we’ (listeners/readers) are the ones who don’t want to receive the help, the love, the support or the relationship?”
….SO good.
Could this be you? What side of the “fence” do you find yourself on?
Picture me sitting in front of you…Are you meeting me with openness? Or are you skeptical? Reluctant? Confused?
I’ve seen all four, I promise.
But my response to her was what I want to share with you right now.
People aren't put in our path for no reason.
We aren't put in the lives of other people (even if only briefly) without purpose.
Do you believe that? Because if you don’t, the work will start there.
If you don’t agree that people are put in your path for a reason, I’d like to ask, why not?
I promise you, there is someone in your life right now that God’s put there for a reason. Whether it’s for a good lesson or a harsh reality, there’s a plan and a purpose.
Are you open to receiving it? Or are you standing in your own way?
I may have wrote Unapologetic, but I laid down a lot of pride along the way. I looked at the people coming in (and out) of my life as opportunities. Some good, some not-so-good.
So I’d love for you to ask yourself these 3 questions…
“Who are the people placed in my life right now meant to make an impact?”
“Am I open to receiving them or would Cassy call me a Class C: On the Fencer?” (Read the book )
What shift do I need to make to allow growth to happen in my life for the people put in my path?
I’m here to help support you, cheer for you, and remind you that it takes a village y’all.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither are we.
Love em’ Down™ & be nothing but yourself.
If you’re enjoying following along, I hope you’ll consider:
Big Hugs & Love,
Cassy
