Your Story- Val Nichols July 2018

Hi everybody, I am coming at you live tonight on my business page, which is Val Nichols Coaching. I am Valerie Nichols. For those of you who do not know me, I am a women's success and empowerment coach, and I'm here tonight to let you know that you should never ever give up because that is not How your story is meant to go. You are made for so much more than whatever it is that you're facing today. So I just want to hop on here tonight and talk to you about that. And if you are hopping on, go ahead and say hello so I can say hi to you. If you are a first-time watcher, let me know as well so I can say hi to you and. If you watch me all the time, say hi. If you're watching this on replay, go ahead and put hashtag replay so that I can— so I know that you're watching. And you can follow along in the comments if you want to comment, great. If you want to share this post, you can absolutely do that as well if you think that anyone needs to hear it tonight. So this is something that's really, really on my heart tonight about, you know, not giving up. Because so often it is so easy to just throw in the towel and to give up when you're not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You know, we all have those days where we feel like it would be so much easier to just give up on our dreams and to give up on our goals because we're faced with these huge giants in life. We're faced with disappointments. We're faced with very real tragedies. We're faced with health crises, you know, whatever it is, financial crisis. And I'm not saying that those things don't have their own power and their own, you know, ability to cause us pain and discomfort and heartache, because they do. That's very real, but we don't have to allow these things that are so temporary to just drag us down and to make us feel like there is never going to be a solution. Our stories are not meant to play out, to have an end. If you're chasing after that dream, if you're chasing after that thing that you know God has laid on your heart, and every single thing has been falling into place for you, but all of a sudden, boom, there's a roadblock, just see it as an opportunity to go deeper within yourself. To rely more and more on God and His strength, and find within yourself the strength and the power that I know that you have. To dig deeper into your resources and dig deeper into your own heart and your own strength, and rely on the strength of God to just carry. Our stories are not meant to end by giving up. I 100% truly believe that as I am running toward the things in my life that I know God has placed in my heart and the things that I know I am put on this earth to fulfill, that if I continue to run the race And I see it through to fruition, and I see it fully. And if I just continue to run all the way to the end of my days, that is where I'm going to find my true satisfaction and my true purpose in life. It is going to be the things and those times in our life when we give up That we are going to be faced with so much regret and so much guilt and so much of that what if. But it's the times that we tap into our inner strength and our innermost self when we find the strength to carry on when the whole world is against us. When everyone in your world is telling you, this is crazy. How could you quit your corporate job where you have a steady paycheck coming in every two weeks? Well, I've done it, and I'm here to tell you that I have no regrets. I wouldn't take back that experience for anything. And if you know that there is a purpose and a calling on your life, and you're at one of those points where you are on the brink of giving up, maybe you're ready to give up on yourself. Maybe you're ready to give up on life. I'm here to encourage you to just hang on. Giving up is not the answer, and that is not how your life and your story is meant to end. So what are you gonna do today if you're faced with that opportunity, that decision to give up or keep going? I want to encourage you to just keep on going. Are you gonna allow your story to end right now today? And you're going to be haunted with the what-if and the unknown? Or are you going to run full force to the prize and see your dreams be fulfilled in ways beyond your wildest dreams? It's all up to you. You can make the choice and the decision today. To take action and see your dreams be fulfilled. Thank you.
