Ep# 180: [Pep Talk] This Moment is For You

Elizabeth Hartke

There are some things in life that just suck.

But sometimes these hard seasons are literally designed for us, at the perfect moment, and we often can’t see just how valuable these things are while we are going through them. And honestly, even in hindsight sometimes, we still just remember these moments as really tough.

But what if these seasons are a blessing to you in ways that you can’t see or ever know fully?

Maybe if you hit all the green lights like you were hoping, you would ultimately get into a car accident. If your child hadn’t thrown that tantrum and made you late, maybe you would have ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

There are so many things that happen in our lives that we can’t see the gift in because in the moment, they suck and they’re miserable and they’re not according to our plan. Can you shift your perspective to one of gratitude. Can we start to default our thinking into “These things are happening for me, even if I can’t see it.”
