We're diving into "The Wealth Money Can't Buy" by Robin Sharma, a book that shifts the way we define wealth, focusing on the value of our character, mindset, and daily habits rather than just financial success. It teaches practical lessons for becoming better people, leading more meaningful lives, and nurturing kindness and compassion.
"WORSHIP YOUR WOUNDS"
I'm not thrilled with the title, but I do agree with 90% of this chapter. So I might tweak a few things from my own viewpoint.
"You're not broken, you're just human. You are not dysfunctional, you are alive".
This line speaks to the importance of embracing our imperfections and humanity. We often get caught up in the belief that we need to be perfect or have everything figured out, but being human means experiencing ups and downs, struggles, and moments of uncertainty. It's through these experiences that we grow and evolve.
Instead of viewing our challenges as signs of failure or weakness, we can see them as opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
"If you're willing to get into the game of life, exercise your native bravery and take some risks to live your future vision, you're going to experience pain. The higher the mountain, the greater the danger".
Are you're willing to do what you are called to do to become the healthier version of you? Often times, we can think that we don't want to get hurt so we do nothing. But also remember that nothing gets you nothing.
Growth and transformation, especially when it comes to becoming a healthier version of ourselves, require commitment and action. Fear of failure or discomfort can hold us back, but doing nothing guarantees that we stay stuck where we are.
"Everybody has been hurt, we all have been hurt. But if you've been scarred, I get you. We've all been there. I'm going to suggest that you celebrate your scars and Worship your wounds".
This line shows us that our scars tell stories of resilience, strength, and survival. They remind us that we’ve gone through pain but have come out stronger on the other side. Recognize the growth and wisdom that our experiences have brought us, instead of allowing them to define us as broken.
It’s about transforming our pain into purpose.
Everything happens for a reason. I'm a Christian and I'm a believer. I believe that all things, all our scars, the hurt, and the hardest times can be used for good and these experiences can be flipped. Worship the wounds is to celebrate your scars because they make you who you are. But they will only make you who you are if you learn from them and you can teach other people.
You can use personal experiences and scars to inspire growth and learning. It resonates deeply, especially with the idea of turning wounds into wisdom. It's such a powerful reminder that the hardest parts of our journey can lead to the greatest transformations when we let them.
Our most challenging experiences often equip us with the wisdom and empathy to guide others through their own struggles. It's like turning pain into purpose. When we embrace our scars and learn from them, we’re not only healing ourselves but also becoming a light for others who might be walking a similar path. It’s an incredible way to find meaning in tough times and share hope with those who need it.
I'd like to share a powerful reminder from Romans 8:28
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
It speaks to the idea that no matter how difficult or painful our experiences may be, God can use them for good in ways we may not yet understand. Trusting in His plan, even in the hardest times, allows us to see His hand in our lives and find purpose in our struggles.
STORY TIME
Our family is in an interesting space. We've had highs and lows, and our family has still been immensely blessed. But we are also going through a challenging season in certain areas. And I might be perceiving things wrong, but the way they're being perceived questions the integrity of some people. And so I can choose to wallow in my sorrows, or I can accept the fact that there are things that are out of my control and I can still choose to be thankful.
It's all about perspective. We can't always control our circumstances, but we can control how we respond to them.
Choosing gratitude, even in difficult situations, can transform our outlook and help us grow. When we focus on the things we can be thankful for, we allow ourselves to find peace and strength, despite the challenges. It’s a powerful act of faith and resilience.
