Bravely Connected

Summary

If you want to have influence: you are going to have to learn how to overcome opposition.

It used to destroy my heart, but influence is on the other side of opposition.

What do I mean by opposition?

It can mean a lot of things:

your child not doing well mentally

losing a job or income

losing friendships

betrayals

jealousy

 

Opposition invites us into deep work.

My mantra is “Watch over your heart with all diligence for from it flows LIFE.”

My heart condition is crucial to my parenting, the ability to show up and use my voice of influence.

 

Opposition reveals something in us.

If I don’t know how to handle disappointment I can’t handle influence.

Disappointment forms us.

 

I must be able to trusted with loss, to be trusted with life. 

Plant your loss and dream from the dirt again.

Being brave is dreaming from the dirt.

Plant your loss.
