576-Podcast Takeover With Angela Williamson Day 4

Hey there, I’m Dr. Angela Williamson and today I share what I’m doing now that brings me happiness.  

 

Transcript:

 

Hey there, you're listening to Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat. But today I'm Angela Williamson taking over again.

 

I'm so excited. And Katie asked me this question, what do you do now that brings happiness? What is your big thing?

 

Well, my big thing now is being an encourager encouraging others. And I am so excited, so blessed to have the platform to do that on Everybody With Angela Williamson.

 

I am finding these ordinary people all over and I find that they do extraordinary things and I get to highlight those extraordinary things on the show. And that's so important because I find that I get the greatest satisfaction out of elevating others.

 

Don't you find that too? And I always heard that advice, I don't know about you, but I am in communications and sometimes in communications you get laid off and you thought what am I going to do? I don't have a job. I need to find another job. But I heard this one time that even if you don't have a job, maybe volunteer. Learn to give time to others because what it does is it strengthens you.

 

And I kept that in the back of my mind. And so when I'm out and I hear people's stories, I want to encourage them and give them a little bit of a platform to share what they do and that life is all about encouraging others.

 

Reverend Early said this in my documentary, My Life with Rosie. "We are not all going to be here forever". But you know what will be here forever is how we encourage others and how we support others. So that's what really brings me the biggest happiness. And I do think that's what I was prepared to do.

 

And so my question to you is think about that. What do you do now that brings you happiness? What is your big thing? And don't be shy about it, let us know because when you tell us now, just like I told you, you are helping someone else. And that's all about what this podcast is for and that's why I'm so honored to be part of it.

 

I don't know what's happening. I eel like I'm on a roll with this fantastic audience. But hey, I'm not done yet. I will be back tomorrow for another episode. I'm here all week, can't wait to chat with you next.
