Finding Balance

I've taken a somewhat long hiatus but I'm back and with a new Season! It's been 3 years of releasing content for you all and I'm so excited for what year four has in store for us. If you're new here, hi! my name is Daraayo Daniels, I'm a final year law undergraduate, a believer and a writer who is passionate about marketing, film, audio content and fictional novels. I love talking about life in general and things I'm learning along the way. I also happen to be a recently converted gymhead. Talked about in this episode is the Odyssey Theory, a blog and a growing community for struggling or new believers who want to learn how to seamlessly integrate their faith into every facet of their lives. You can catch it on Substack or get it directly delivered to your inbox when you subscribe using this link: https://theodysseytheory.substack.com/ In this episode, I share both major and minor life changes that have occurred in my life in the past few months and how these experiences have shifted my perspective on some things: 1. How I must learn to first create for myself before anyone else so I can truly appreciate my art. 2. How important it is to put myself out there and try out new experiences. 3. How faith sometimes looks like trusting that the Holy Spirit already orders my steps so I make the right decisions and; 4. Learning to live in the moment and worry less about the uncertainty of the future, instead spend my time networking, acquiring information and positioning myself for the life I desire.
