Speaker 1: Hi, this is Delilah, and I am so excited to
Speaker 1: be able to talk with you on this podcast. I
Speaker 1: want to get your feedback. I want to know what
Speaker 1: to think. I want to know what topics you want
Speaker 1: me to explore. Uh, do you want to hear more
Speaker 1: phone calls like on my radio show or do you
Speaker 1: want to hear me talk about topics that are are
Speaker 1: important in your life or something that is on your heart?
Speaker 1: And I hope you do when you're listening to this.
Speaker 1: I hope you do what I do at night when
Speaker 1: I'm in the studio recording my shows. Fix yourself a
Speaker 1: cup of Twinings Tea of London. There's so much thought
Speaker 1: and passion in making the flavors and the varieties of
Speaker 1: Twinings Tea that's available to you. I know this because
Speaker 1: I've met with the folks from Twinings and it is
Speaker 1: quite the process. The way they search the globe for
Speaker 1: the best ingredients, the finest ingredients, the finest tease and flavorings,
Speaker 1: and they have to be pure. They make or that
Speaker 1: they are so pure and healthy and delicious. So start
Speaker 1: by choosing the flavors that sound most appealing to you,
Speaker 1: and an experiment branch out, be a little wild, take
Speaker 1: a walk on the wild side and try one of
Speaker 1: their their new flavors. I'm holding a cup of Twinings
Speaker 1: Tea right now. In fact, I'm not taking a walk
Speaker 1: on the wild Side tonight because I love their English
Speaker 1: breakfast and though it's evening, uh, they have a decaf
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm drinking right now here in the
Speaker 1: studio with you. Twinings Tea of London is found in
Speaker 1: my favorite supermarket. It's probably in yours. To look for it,
Speaker 1: Twinings Tea of London. So in this broadcast or podcast,
Speaker 1: I should say I'm going to be talking about finding
Speaker 1: your truth, finding out who you really are, and finding
Speaker 1: your path. So many people feel like they're just existing,
Speaker 1: like they're wandering and they're not sure if they're right
Speaker 1: on the right path. There's a great quote that says
Speaker 1: all who wander are not lost. So I believe that
Speaker 1: wandering is a good thing. I'm not the kind of
Speaker 1: person to take a straight path from point A to
Speaker 1: point B. When I go on road trips. I want
Speaker 1: to stop at every roadside fruit stand. I want to
Speaker 1: go up into the mountains, I want to take detours,
Speaker 1: I'm not in a hurry to get to the destination
Speaker 1: because truthfully, my friend listened to this. I got a
Speaker 1: card when I graduated from high school from my best friend,
Speaker 1: Deedee's mother that said, the thing to remember when traveling
Speaker 1: is this. The destination is not the thing traveling is.
Speaker 1: The destination is not what's important. The process of getting there,
Speaker 1: the friends that you make a long life's journey, the
Speaker 1: experiences that you have on this path we call life,
Speaker 1: from the time you come into this world, from the
Speaker 1: time your soul enters your little dinut sized smaller than
Speaker 1: a peabody, until the time that your body expires on
Speaker 1: this earth. The dash, the dash between the day you're
Speaker 1: born and the day you die. That dash, how you
Speaker 1: live that dash? You know? They write, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty dash two thousand and fifty. Whatever the dash,
Speaker 1: The journey is what matters. So how do you know
Speaker 1: if you're on the right path? How do you know
Speaker 1: if you are using your time doing that which you
Speaker 1: are supposed to be doing? It's easy? Do you have joy?
Speaker 1: Do you find pleasure in living your life? And are
Speaker 1: you making an impact in the world? Do you find play?
Speaker 1: Is it joyful? Is it rewarding to do what you
Speaker 1: do for a living or as hobbies. And are you
Speaker 1: making a difference in the world. Are you impacting the
Speaker 1: world for good? There are a lot of people who
Speaker 1: do a lot of things that are fun, exciting, entertaining,
Speaker 1: But are you impacting the world for good? Are you
Speaker 1: making this world a better place. I used to be
Speaker 1: a girl Scout, So I was a girl Scout for years.
Speaker 1: I love scouting and now my daughter, my youngest daughter, Delilah,
Speaker 1: is going to be a girl Scout and I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that. And one of the things that I learned
Speaker 1: in scouting and from my parents, we used to camp
Speaker 1: a lot, and in scouting, we camped a lot, and
Speaker 1: they always said, leave the campsite better than it was
Speaker 1: when you arrived. Leave the campsite better than it was
Speaker 1: when you arrived. Make sure there's no trash lying about.
Speaker 1: Make sure you haven't damaged any of the plants, the trees,
Speaker 1: the flora, the fauna. Leave the campsite better. Make sure
Speaker 1: you clean the ashes out of the fire pit so
Speaker 1: the next person that comes along doesn't have to clean
Speaker 1: up after you. Leave the camp site better than it
Speaker 1: was when you arrived, And I believe we need to
Speaker 1: leave the world better than it was when we arrived,
Speaker 1: and so to leave the world a better place than
Speaker 1: it was when we arrived, that's a big task. How
Speaker 1: do you do that? When you figure out what it
Speaker 1: is that brings you joy and then you use that
Speaker 1: gift to bless others to make the world a better place.
Speaker 1: That is where you are supposed to be. Maybe you're
Speaker 1: a good manager, Maybe you're a good leader. Maybe when
Speaker 1: you look behind you, you see people following you because
Speaker 1: you are a natural born leader. If you are one
Speaker 1: of those people that has that gift of leadership, please
Speaker 1: use it with integrity to lead people to the truth,
Speaker 1: to lead people to a better world, to lead people
Speaker 1: to a place of honesty and transparency and goodness and
Speaker 1: mercy and love. Or maybe you're not a leader, Maybe
Speaker 1: you're a follower. That's a good thing. If you have,
Speaker 1: like more than one or two leaders, it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: But there are people who are good at following directions
Speaker 1: and good at follow through, and they're good at paying
Speaker 1: attention to details and making sure things get done and
Speaker 1: get done effectively and efficiently. Maybe your gift is something
Speaker 1: like swimming. That's an easy one, be a lifeguard, save
Speaker 1: kids lives, make their summers fun, teach them how to swim.
Speaker 1: Use whatever gift God has given you to make the
Speaker 1: world a better place, and then you know you're on
Speaker 1: the right path. See how simple that was. It's not
Speaker 1: really that complicated. Sit down out, ask other people, Ask
Speaker 1: your family, ask your friends, ask your mama, ask your
Speaker 1: best friend. Where do you see me shine? What do
Speaker 1: you see my gifts are? Where do you see me
Speaker 1: most effective? If they say playing video games, that's not
Speaker 1: a good thing, or maybe it is. Maybe that is
Speaker 1: your gift and you should take some classes on how
Speaker 1: to produce games, and then you should use that gift
Speaker 1: to make games that teach instead of games that destroy.
Speaker 1: So if you're a gamer and that's where you're happy spot,
Speaker 1: then go to school, learn how to create them, and
Speaker 1: then create games that uplift, that build, that educate, that
Speaker 1: teach kids life skills that form lasting relationships. Find your
Speaker 1: happy spot, find what you do best, and then use
Speaker 1: that gift to change the world, one heart at a time.
Speaker 1: Those are my thoughts on finding your path, finding your truth,
Speaker 1: finding what works and where God wants you to be.
