Thanks for tuning in to the Real Women Chronicles podcast. I am your international certified life coach, T. Audra Taylor. The sole purpose of this podcast is to get you from where you are now to where you want to be.
Yes, it's time to break chains and to get unstuck. Thanks again for joining in. Let's begin. Hello, and thank you guys for joining me for yet again.
Another week of the Real Women Chronicles podcast. I am your virtual certified life and relationship coach. I go by the name of coach T. If you haven't heard, now you know.
So I have been inundated with emails from all of my TikTok followers. Thank you guys, especially all of you guys who have found me on TikTok. I just want to give a huge shout out to you guys. I see you guys liking the post.
I see you guys comments and I may not be able to respond to each and every comment, but I truly appreciate it. It's really a humbling experience. I've been working as a life coach for many years and all I've wanted to do was reach this magnitude of individuals and TikTok as well as other platforms has enabled me to do that. So I'm extremely grateful.
That being said, I want to jump right into today's podcast. I'm not going to hold you guys long, but I really want to talk on the topic of not giving up on you. You know, as we go through life, we often find ourselves growing weary, growing doubt. You know, many of us out there may have dreams and goals that we want to accomplish.
Many of us may have set out to do certain things by a certain age, like having kids by a certain age or getting married by a certain age. And maybe, just maybe, those things have yet to happen. But take heed to what I'm saying. It has yet to happen.
It may not have happened on your timeline, but God's timeline is so much different than ours. And see, whenever we try to constrict God to our timeline, we have the potential of pushing back our blessing. Are you one to say to God, I want to be married by the time I'm 35? Or I want to have kids by the time I'm 36?
See, God has a great sense of humor and a way of giving us what our heart desires, right? But here's the thing. There's a chance that God may want to give you that blessing at 33, but are you open for it? Or are you constantly saying, I won't be ready until I'm 35?
And then we get angry, right? Because when we reach the plateau that we felt, that we were ready to have these things that we've pushed off intentionally, and they're not there yet, we fall into depression. We fall into anger. We fall into low self-esteem and self-doubt.
And I think many times this happens because we don't let go and let God. We don't allow God to determine when it's time. And this is what happens when we begin to give up on ourselves, right? Because we put more faith in ourselves than we do in God.
Listen, I know that I'm a powerful life coach, but I know that I would be nothing without him guiding me and telling me when to say things and what to say. So I surrender to that. But there was a point in time in my life where I thought I knew everything and I thought I knew how to be politically correct and just do things perfectly and I left him out. And then I couldn't hear the messages as clear.
I wasn't sure what to say and how to motivate because I kept putting things on my timeline. And whenever we put things on our timeline, we start to lose faith in ourselves. I know why because the faith was placed in the wrong hands in the first place. The faith should be in God.
He is the one that is there to give us the strength to do every single thing that we want to accomplish. We have to untie his hands. And what I mean by that is stop telling him what you want by a certain age and date and time and start saying God, whatever you have for me and whenever you have that for me, I will be thankful and grateful and like the universe take its course. That must be that is honestly the most freeing thing that you can do.
We stress ourselves out by being so controlling over things that we really have no control over. We drive ourselves crazy over what may happen tomorrow or next year or ten years from now, we drive ourselves crazy instead of just living in the moment. And whenever we do that, you will find yourself giving up on you. So today's message is to not only not give up on you, but tap into the strength that God has given you and allow him to lead and then you will never give up on you.
Because you're the only people that give up on themselves or the people who set themselves into these strict, these strict regiments, these strict timelines, and they fail themselves because they relied more on themselves than they did with God. And this is when we can to give up on ourselves. This is the core basis of you giving up on yourself. You put your faith in the wrong place.
You put your stipulations in the wrong place. You plan but God decides. It's time to let him decide and for you to finally relax. So whatever it is you're fighting for, keep fighting for it, but allow him to order your steps.
Trust your intuition. That intuition is God's voice speaking to you. He will tell you where to go. That's where we're so focused on the end result that we miss the small gains that we make along the way and we miss the ability to enjoy the journey.
No matter what you're going through right now, I don't care if it's a relationship issue, a career issue, a business issue, I don't care. The only time that you should be growing, you would ever grow weary is if you're putting your faith in you instead of God and you cannot do nothing through your own strength. So the weight has begun to be heavy because you're trying to carry something that God is saying give to me. Let me carry it.
Let me take care of you. I got this. Let go and let God let him do what he does best and that is deliver beyond our expectations. I've seen God move recently and blew my mind and all I could think about was this message.
What if I had tied his hands? What if I had said that my blessing had to come a certain type of way and in a certain type of package? Could you imagine what I would miss out on? Could you imagine how eager I would be to give it up on myself once it didn't come looking the way that I deemed it should?
Remember that. Let go and let God that is the message for this week.
