#467: How to Believe that You Matter in the World

Podcast #467   How to Believe that You Matter in the World     Knowing that you have a purpose, and knowing yours, will make your life come alive. It gives meaning to the mundane and puts fire in the places you want to wake up in your heart. Purpose is the drive of confidence that we all crave, but most people feel lost in this area. This episode will coach you on how to believe that you matter in the world, and then how to start showing up in a way that makes a difference. Get the full show notes at www.trishblackwell.com/467   In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're coaching on…   How to know you matter in this world, especially if you're feeling unfulfilled, without purpose or lost right nowHow to figure out your higher purpose and get started on itHow to continually support yourself and step into a bigger version of yourself, and your impact, with positive (and effective) self-talk.  I want to talk about this topic because I have had too many conversations with high-achievers who are just so in the zone on putting pressure on themselves that they have entirely lost their sense of humanity and purpose.  There's immense pressure we put on ourselves, but why?  When you don't know why you matter, the pressure, the performance, the achievements, they're meaningless. I don't talk about this often but I went through a season of my life, specifically after what happened to me that I share about in episode #444 and in Chapter 2 of Straighten Your Crown, that made me wrestle with meaninglessness and search for meaning.    REVIEW OF THE WEEK:   I love Trish!

Go to work.  Putting pressure on yourself doesn't work. You don't do better by being mean to yourself.  Make your life count by being yourself. God given potential.  --- > Your moral responsibility.  How are you stewarding what was planted within you? How willing are you to cultivate it?  How are you downplaying it or mis-tending it? How do you discount it by comparing to others?   HOW TO FIGURE OUT YOUR HIGHER PURPOSE AND GET STARTED ON IT   It's time to think about legacy. But first, extend yourself grace by knowing why legacy hasn't been at the forefront of your mind. Too busy.Too worn down.Too low in opinion of self.Too discouraged from comparing to others.Too rushed to believe you can do more.Too disappointed from your past to think you matter now.Too overwhelmed with how to have a plan to move forward with confidence. You were placed in the world for a reason. We don't get to see the full picture. Just a puzzle piece at a time. We do get to believe that the big picture is a masterpiece. We get to decide to be involved - or to pass our piece to someone else. We get to live with purpose and on purpose. Your legacy confidence will be attacked - do not be alarmed.    SPONSORSHIP NOTE: BETTERHELP   Is there something interfering with your happiness?
