Personal Sacrifices to Unlock Your Next Version - #359

To get to the next version of your life it is going to take some sacrifices. I learned this when I was becoming a runner on my track team in high school. I had to sacrifice some time with friends and staying up late so I could stay on the path and keep improving.The last month or so I've felt God really pushing me to make some important decisions in my life. A week ago I chose to never make another video game content-related video and last night I decided to finish up writing on my Medium account on Sept. 21.These sacrifices are NOT easy for me to make in the moment. It is easier to keep them going than to let them go. I feel this is important for me to do so my next version can come forward. This is another very me-centric episode but it is what I felt like needed to be shared. I will actually get that interview I was hoping to on Thursday. If you are getting the feeling to let something go or to pick something back up trust God and share with him your feelings. Talk with Him about your goals and ambitions. He will guide you and help you to make a decision that will be great for you in the long term (Proverbs 3:5-6), even if in the moment it doesn't make much sense.Time Stamps:1:00 - Letting Go Gets Other Things in Motion5:24 - Letting Things Go That Have Helped You7:15 - God Sees You Overcoming Your Present Challenges8:58 - I Have NO IDEA What God is Doing in My Life10:00 - Playing the Long Game11:52 - Learning From Playing Marbles13:00 - God is 100% Guiding Me Right NowQuotes:6:40 - "Turning to the Lord always makes freedom more clear."10:28 - "It seems that as I put in more effort there's going to be more effort needed to maintain it of a sort and again, that's just not what I am willing to do."10:44 - "I feel these things changing in my heart and soul."11:29 - "When the Lord tells you to get something rolling there's a reason for that."12:35 - "Be careful what marbles you have in your circle."16:00 - "God is taking all of these good things out of my life so I can become unrecognizable basically."Support the show
