Good morning,
I love her soothing voice and the truth she speaks so gently each week. It always soothes my soul. Except for today.
Today she said something that could be considered a little scandalous to our Midwestern ears.
"Name what you want."
She went on to say that it seems selfish, but it's not. If we don't name what we want, we still want it. It doesn't simply go away if we ignore it; it's still there (this is my paraphrased version of her explanation).
It's just speaking truth. "This is what I want."
For example
I want an easy life. That's exactly what I want. But I also know the truth that it's the hard things in life that are the most meaningful. So even though I want an easy life, I know I won't be happy with one.
I have been applying this to the past 2 years, and it changes my perspective. It helps me to see why I have had all the feelings. And it encourages me to know that the Covid challenges are worth it.
If I hadn't named what I wanted, I would not have determined what's most important.
I hope this makes sense. And I hope it encourages you.
Now for a hilarious laugh. Here is someone who isn't naming what he wants. Or is he?
