Transcripts

Natalie:

Stop questioning yourself.

2

:

You're on the right path And that might

be hard to believe and maybe everything's

3

:

not working out the way that you want

it to And maybe you're not seeing the

4

:

fruits of your labor yet But don't worry

just keep going A lot of times we are on

5

:

the right path and things are starting

to work out in our favor But then we

6

:

sabotage them because we're impatient

or we think you know what this is not

7

:

at all Working so let me change it.

8

:

Let me pivot and let me go to something

else But really the seed was just

9

:

starting to grow but it was growing

underneath the ground so you couldn't

10

:

see it But if you could just hold out

for a while and just really give that

11

:

seed some time to grow You would see year

maybe two years, maybe three years That

12

:

seed would eventually break ground and

everything you've been working so hard

13

:

for these these last past months past

years You would see that they would all

14

:

be working themselves out for your favor.

15

:

I myself have really

experienced this this year.

16

:

Within the month of September, between

September and October, I had three very

17

:

significant things happen in my life.

18

:

Things that I had been

wanting for a long time.

19

:

They weren't happening and

it was a bit frustrating.

20

:

I'm not gonna lie.

21

:

And a part of me is like,

why isn't this happening?

22

:

This should have happened.

23

:

I think I'm on the right path.

24

:

I think I'm doing the right things.

25

:

Why isn't it opening the doors?

26

:

But then in September it was the

trifecta and these three things

27

:

happened to me all at the same time.

28

:

Big, significant life changes that really

are the, the sum of just a lot of things

29

:

I've been praying for and working towards.

30

:

So I had two options prior to this.

31

:

I could have just stopped

and said, you know what?

32

:

Nothing's working.

33

:

I give up on my dreams.

34

:

I'm just gonna, I'm just

going to coast through life.

35

:

Or the other option is, well, nothing's

happening yet, but let me just keep going.

36

:

And guess which one I chose.

37

:

I chose to keep going.

38

:

I kept going.

39

:

I kept believing that one day

the dreams I had would come true.

40

:

I kept those dreams very

much present in my head.

41

:

And I just kept working towards them.

42

:

Not necessarily working.

43

:

You're looking towards the outcome

but what are the things I would

44

:

need to do for those dreams to

become a reality in the first place?

45

:

Because there's only so

much I can control, right?

46

:

I can't control the outcome.

47

:

But I can control my input.

48

:

I can control what I do on my end.

49

:

So I just kept doing the things

that I knew I was supposed to

50

:

do, or doing the things that I

thought I was supposed to do.

51

:

Because sometimes you

don't really know for sure.

52

:

We don't have a manual that tells us 100

percent if you do XYZ then XYZ Life is

53

:

not an algebraic formula, even though

it would be nice sometimes if it was.

54

:

But I just kept going.

55

:

And so that's my encouragement to

you is stop questioning yourself.

56

:

Whatever the dreams are that you have,

whatever the desires are that you have in

57

:

your heart, they're there for a reason.

58

:

So just keep going.

59

:

Don't worry about actually getting to the

dream, actually accomplishing the dream.

60

:

Just worry about what are the steps

that you're doing right now, what are

61

:

the actions you are doing right now

that could contribute and lead to.

62

:

And honestly, the universe will

just take care of the rest.

63

:

So stop questioning yourself.

64

:

Be confident in your dreams.

65

:

They have value and they matter and you

are deserving of those dreams coming true.

66

:

But I can tell you one thing,

those dreams will never come true.

67

:

If you just sit on your

butt and do nothing.

68

:

So continue to be led by inspiration.

69

:

Continue to be led by creativity.

70

:

Continue to be led by power.

71

:

because those feelings are strong.

72

:

Those emotions are strong and

they will guide you in the right

73

:

path and allow you to do the right

activities and the right steps that

74

:

will lead you closer to your dreams.

75

:

Until next time, continue to serve

yourself, your loved ones, and

76

:

your communities from a full cup.
