#228: Control the controllables: getting out of God’s lane

Coming back from Iceland, I hit a wall. Low motivation, stagnation, the pull to numb out. And my first instinct was to fix it by forcing something new into existence: a new business, a new brand, a new thing to build. Turns out that was me swimming upstream, trying to play a role that was never mine to play. In this episode: The post-Iceland tailspin and why awareness of those heavy feelings is actually the first gift How I caught myself trying to do God's job instead of my own, and what shifted when I got back in my lane The reframe that falling off track is the soreness of muscles rebuilding stronger What the counting of the Omer teaches us about these 49 days between Passover and Shavuot, and why this window is a spiritual boot camp The story of Nachshon walking into the Red Sea up to his nose before it split, and what faithful action really looks like My seven-week training camp and the three daily buckets I'm tracking: connect, move, nourish Why freedom equals discipline, and how structure is what actually lets you receive freedom Key takeaways: Your lane is your energy, attitude, effort, and personal discipline. The path unveiling is not your job Stagnation exposed is stagnation ready to move. Welcome it in by name Keep your training camp almost too easy.
