Podcast Episode #250: Building Capacity for The Present [Part 2 of 3]

In this episode, I dig into the topic of finding your place in the world and understanding why your current path may not align with your true purpose. Many of you are experiencing frustration as you navigate through life, questioning where you should be and where you are headed. Remember, everything you do is a reflection of your inner thoughts.As you navigate through life, you often find yourself shedding old habits and beliefs, making room for new growth and opportunities. However, sometimes you may find yourself chasing paths that do not align with God. This leads to frustration and a sense of being out of sync with your purpose. Romans 12:2 NIV says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."  When you undergo this transformation and realize the power of your mindset in shaping your identity and purpose in God, you begin to walk in the flow that you are meant to be in. Understanding the importance of this mindset shift allows you to align with your true selves and unlock your full potential. Remember, everything will fall into place when you are in tune with your authentic self and  God's divine purpose as you go on this spiritual journey and mindset.N.Hill proclaimed failure is not real, but rather a mindset. It is only real if you accept it. When you hit a moment of temporary defeat, I want you to remember that it serves as a guide to point you in the right direction.That defeat is guiding you towards where your true gifts and talents lie.Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Also available as an audiobook exclusively on UnlockingGreatness.comJoin My Text. Text "Ready" to: (+1) 847-648-9118Where to Find Me:Mentorship: UnlockingGreatness.comWebsite: https://www.ZenjaGlass.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zenjaglassInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ZenjaGlassFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zenjaglass.fb YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/zenjaglassTwitter: https://twitter.com/zenjaglass Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ZenjaGlassPinsListen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!

In "Embracing the Lion Within You," I speak on the importance of knowing and embracing your true identity, which comes from God.   I am reading from my book "necessary."  from chapter 19 "You Are A Lion!"Understanding who you are in God is crucial to living out your purpose and calling without the need for external validation. You should never have to plead for love or acceptance, because your worth is already established by God, our Creator. Many are not pursuing their dreams and callings because they are seeking approval from others and have yet to discover their true selves. It is time to unleash the lion within you and walk confidently in the path that God has uniquely designed for you. Remember that our greatest growth comes when  we have had to stand alone with God. You Are STRONG. You Are A LION! Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Also available as an audiobook exclusively on UnlockingGreatness.comJoin My Text. Text "Ready" to: (+1) 847-648-9118Where to Find Me:Mentorship: UnlockingGreatness.comWebsite: https://www.ZenjaGlass.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zenjaglassInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ZenjaGlassFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zenjaglass.fb YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/zenjaglassTwitter: https://twitter.com/zenjaglass Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ZenjaGlassPinsListen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!

Let's dive into the importance of understanding and recognizing the tactics of the enemy in our lives. I am reading from my book "necessary."  from chapter 21 "If I Were Your Enemy" By changing our perception and not allowing the enemy to deceive us, we can overcome discouragement and live in the power that God has bestowed upon us as heirs and co-heirs. The enemy specializes in feeding us untruths and convincing us that we are stuck and unable to move forward. His role is to deceive and discourage us from fulfilling our purpose and from remembering God's anointing in our lives. The enemy will find ways to keep us distracted from the plans that God has in store for us that are meant to bring prosperity. However, we must remember Galatians 6:9, which encourages us not to grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Here is my question to you: How are you going to walk in the victory that is rightfully yours that God has blessed you with?

In part 3 of 3 of this podcast series, I talk about building capacity for the future by taking action and seizing opportunities. Often, we hesitate to act or wait for the perfect moment, but it's essential not to delay in sowing our seeds of potential. We have to embrace uncertainty and trust the process, and most importantly trust God. By trying and learning from each experience, we gain valuable knowledge that can lead to growth and success. However, it's crucial to be discerning and not chase after opportunities that are not meant for us. Trust in divine guidance from God to direct you on the path. Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Also available as an audiobook exclusively on UnlockingGreatness.comJoin My Text. Text "Ready" to: (+1) 847-648-9118Where to Find Me:Mentorship: UnlockingGreatness.comWebsite: https://www.ZenjaGlass.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zenjaglassInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ZenjaGlassFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zenjaglass.fb YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/zenjaglassTwitter: https://twitter.com/zenjaglass Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ZenjaGlassPinsListen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!

In part 2 of 3 of this podcast series,  I talk about the importance of building capacity for the present moment. Time is a precious resource, and the only time we truly have authority over is the time between now and our last breath. I want you to start making the most of your present time and learn how to navigate challenges when things aren't going as planned. I read from Isaiah 61, which has always helped me reflect and put things into perspective.  Use your experiences to not only build your own capacity but also to help and serve others. It is truly a gift being able to relate to others as they go through hardships because now you can help them as they build their capacity. Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Also available as an audiobook exclusively on UnlockingGreatness.comJoin My Text. Text "Ready" to: (+1) 847-648-9118Where to Find Me:Mentorship: UnlockingGreatness.comWebsite: https://www.ZenjaGlass.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zenjaglassInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ZenjaGlassFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zenjaglass.fb YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/zenjaglassTwitter: https://twitter.com/zenjaglass Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ZenjaGlassPinsListen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!

In this part 1 of 3 podcast series, I talk about building capacity for the things that lie ahead by reflecting on how our past experiences have shaped our future direction. I discuss the importance of personal growth, resilience, and preparation in aligning ourselves for the journey ahead. Your past helped you build capacity. Your past has prepared you for the challenges and opportunities that await you in the future. And God uses your past experiences, including pain, sorrow, and hardships, to shape you for the next assignment He has in store. He can turn your struggles into strengths to prepare you for the purpose He has planned for your life. The next time you are tempted to get discouraged by your season of trials, remember that God is building your capacity to prepare you for your next level! Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Also available as an audiobook exclusively on UnlockingGreatness.comJoin My Text. Text "Ready" to: (+1) 847-648-9118Where to Find Me:Mentorship: UnlockingGreatness.comWebsite: https://www.ZenjaGlass.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zenjaglassInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ZenjaGlassFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zenjaglass.fb YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/zenjaglassTwitter: https://twitter.com/zenjaglass Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ZenjaGlassPinsListen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!

In this episode, I talk about self-forgiveness. Many of us carry the weight of our past hardships and trauma. We often tend to be too hard on ourselves for not knowing better, or perhaps doing something different at the time. However, it's so important to remember that you made the best choices you could with the knowledge and courage you had in those moments. It's time to break free from self-criticism and to show self-compassion to oneself.  I want you to forgive yourself and step into a brighter future. Remember, it is through the grace of God that we can truly release ourselves from the chains of the past and find peace in forgiveness. I want to encourage you that in addition to seeking spiritual guidance, I also encourage you to reach out to trained professionals who can provide the support and tools you need on your journey towards self-forgiveness and healing. Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Also available as an audiobook exclusively on UnlockingGreatness.comJoin My Text. Text "Ready" to: (+1) 847-648-9118Where to Find Me:Mentorship: UnlockingGreatness.comWebsite: https://www.ZenjaGlass.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zenjaglassInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ZenjaGlassFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zenjaglass.fb YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/zenjaglassTwitter: https://twitter.com/zenjaglass Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ZenjaGlassPinsListen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!

In this episode, I chose to read a chapter from my book "necessary." This chapter is titled "Head of Household".  I discussed the power of overcoming fear and trauma, as I recall an event from my childhood. Many of us have been through so much pain and grief; however, we don't have to remain stuck in the past. If you can identify with any part of my story, I pray you seek help from a trained professional so that you can discover the strength within you to move forward and heal. Do not fear. Always know that you can overcome this. I want you to hold tight to His word, Psalm 27:1 (KJV), "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"Remember, you are stronger than you know, and God will guide you through it all. Let this video be a source of inspiration and encouragement as you embark on your healing journey and transformation.Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Also available as an audiobook exclusively on UnlockingGreatness.comJoin My Text. Text "Ready" to: (+1) 847-648-9118Where to Find Me:Mentorship: UnlockingGreatness.comWebsite: https://www.ZenjaGlass.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zenjaglassInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ZenjaGlassFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/zenjaglass.fb YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/zenjaglassTwitter: https://twitter.com/zenjaglass Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ZenjaGlassPinsListen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!
