My best friend Sabrina and I have a phrase that we have been sharing with each other since we were quite young. It is a phrase of challenge that we speak into each other’s lives in times of panic, in times of heartbreak, in times where we feel completely lost and in over our heads.
I am sending you this message with great excitement, driven by a clear vision and deep conviction. This is our first issue of the monthly Volition Insight. Volition Insight is in some ways a dream come true. It’s a baby step towards a dream and the mission to kill ignorance.
We should on people, all the time, and rarely even notice that we are doing it. You might be wondering, “What is she talking about, ‘shoulding on people’?” Well, let me tell you a quick story to better explain what “shoulding” is.
The other day I was looking for a book on my book shelf and as I searched and searched for it, I realized that I seriously needed to organize my books. So I spontaneously started the project, on the spot, and it wasn’t too long into the project that I found myself in tears.
After a speaking engagement, well over a year ago, a gentleman approached me to give me his compliments on my message and delivery. We got to talking about life and learning and he shared with me something he had taught his children. He said that in school we are taught lessons, so that we can take a test, but in life it’s the opposite. We are given tests, so that we can be taught lessons. What an insightful perspective shift!
Newness is happening all around us, every day. New life, new growth, new opportunity, new possibility is there. Do you see it?. A dash of newness to any situation can bring the very hope and energy needed to turn a ship around.
