I am so glad you chose this recording because we need to talk.
So come on over,
Pull up a seat.
I got some things I want to share with you because I can tell you're struggling.
You're going through something right now.
So I have some things that I want to share with you that I hope will help you.
And so whatever you're going through right now,
Whatever it is that's causing you to feel heavy,
Challenged,
Just know you're not alone.
Now,
I may not know all of the details of your situation,
But I do know what it feels like to be stuck.
And I also know that you have the ability to face this with grace and ease and to come out shining on the other end.
But I know right now you probably don't feel like you're really doing your best.
You're still wondering if it's enough.
And if that's where you are right now,
I just want to offer a few words of encouragement and let you know that there is light at the end of this seemingly dark tunnel.
So just be with me here for a few more minutes,
Okay?
Let's take a deep breath together.
Breathe in,
Let it out slowly.
Take another long,
Slow breath in,
And then let it out.
So here we are in this moment.
You made it to this meeting with me,
And that in itself is a victory.
You were looking for something to help you.
You were proactive in knowing that there was a better way.
And you found this recording.
And here we are.
And I just want to congratulate you.
I know the world can move pretty fast.
Life can take all kinds of twists and turns.
And,
You know,
Some days,
Honestly,
Just getting out of bed feels like a big achievement.
So you may very well feel like you're not making progress and that you're stuck.
But I'm here to tell you,
And please listen up,
That you are doing a lot more than you realize.
There's actually a lot more here to be hopeful and encouraged.
Better times are right around the corner.
And heck,
They may already be right here under your nose.
You're just not seeing those things as you're going through a tough time.
And that's okay.
Life is a series of steps,
Of ups and downs.
Sometimes you're riding high and you're living a big,
Bold,
Bodacious life.
Other times,
Not so much.
You might feel like you're standing still,
Like you're stuck.
But even those moments are shaping you in wonderful and unexpected ways.
So you are evolving and getting stronger,
Even if it doesn't feel like it in this moment.
So if no one's told you this lately,
Let me be the one to say it.
You are doing better than you think.
A whole lot better.
You're not falling behind.
You are not broken.
You're exactly where you need to be at this point in your life under these particular circumstances.
And you're human.
And you know,
Being human means that there will be messy days.
As much as we want everything to be secure and calm and consistent and flowing,
Life is filled with uncertainty.
It's as it should be.
If every day was just a cookie cutter day of every day before it,
Life would get pretty boring,
Wouldn't it?
So we actually need a certain amount of uncertainty in our lives just to stay engaged with it.
But along with that,
With the joys and the highs,
There will be lows.
There will be tears.
You may be experiencing that right now.
And that's absolutely fine.
Don't feel bad about that.
You can still experience joy.
You deserve that.
When the time is right,
Fully feel it.
Sometimes in the smallest,
Most quiet moments,
You can be grateful for those little things in life.
Just a cup of tea,
A kind smile from a stranger.
It could be a flicker of hope when you least expect it.
So savor those moments.
Don't just move on from them.
When those little glimmers of hope and encouragement happen,
Savor them.
Be with them.
And know that more of them are coming.
So this isn't the time to give up.
It's the time to acknowledge what's going on in your life and slowly take the steps to move forward to that life that you know,
I hope you know,
That you deserve.
And if you don't feel you deserve it,
I know you deserve it.
I know you're capable of it.
You know that version of you that you are moving toward,
That you are in the process of becoming?
That's you.
And that's worth fighting for.
And if you want to soften that a little bit,
That's worth moving towards,
Getting activated,
Putting one foot in front of the other and moving toward that ideal life that you were put on this earth to live.
And it's already inside of you.
Sure,
The exterior circumstances of your life may be chaotic,
May not be what you want or desire,
But inside of you,
That light still flickers and it shines.
And eventually you will tap back into that and let that light shine into the world.
So I want you to know this.
You are not your so-called mistakes.
You are not your experiences of the past.
You are not your bank account or your job title or the way that someone else treated you.
That's not who you are.
You are a brilliant soul,
A radiant being who is worthy of love exactly as you are right now.
And you don't have to earn your worth.
You already have it.
You're already worthy of that value.
Like I said,
You're doing a lot better than you may think.
Hopefully your mind is starting to change on that topic and you're realizing this.
And I'm so proud of you for showing up today,
For choosing this recording.
And if you're still listening to it,
That means you are committed to this process.
You're committed to your growth and your evolution as the amazing human being that you are.
So thank you for joining me,
Letting me share my thoughts with you.
You can come back to this recording at any time when you need that extra boost.
Because remember,
You are not alone.
I'm here for you.
I'm cheering you on.
I am rooting for you because I'm in your corner.
Until next time,
Take good care of yourself.
This is Bob Baker saying so long for now.
