954: Maybe YOU have the answers

If you’re constantly looking to Google and self-help books for the answers (no judgement, I’m the same!) this one’s for you (and me!)

Episode transcript:

Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Friday to you. So to wrap up this week, I wanted to pop in with a reminder that I know I'm not a best need and don't always believe. And it is this, You know more than you think you do. I think especially in an age where we can Google everything and there are self help books about Everything under the sun. It can be so easy to believe that other people have the answers. We can convince ourselves that we are one click or 1 chapter Away from something that is gonna solve everything. And even though we know that's not true, it can be so tempting to believe. But the truth is when it comes to most areas of life, especially when it comes to things where we don't know what we're doing Or we're wondering what direction to go in, or we're doubting ourselves in any way.

If we took the time to pause And really ask ourselves either what we already know or what we need to hear. Chances are there would be a hell of a lot of wisdom there, And it would also be way more relevant probably than a lot of the things that we could find on our search. But I think for a lot of us square pegs and round holes, We've been taught that we do things differently, and we see a lot of the ways other people do it. It doesn't work for us, and we think there is a problem on our part. And here's the thing. The truth is you know an awful lot about how you work and what works best for you. And even if that looks like doing things in a way that nobody else does it, that's okay. So my challenge for you is Whatever questions you've got right now, whatever you're thinking about, whatever you're struggling about, just pause and ask yourself what you already know about it, What you would tell a friend and what you most need to hear, and see if there's some wisdom there.

And I am very, very, very certain that there is a fuckload of wisdom there And that you might have at least part of, if not all, of the answer. So here's to pausing and reflecting. Have a good one. I can't wait to be back with you bright and early on Monday morning. And in the meantime, remember that everything changes when you believe you matter.
