283 - If you’ve ever felt stuck in a situation and started thinking, “Well, I guess this is just how it is,” this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Intentional Mind Podcast, I’m sharing a recent story from my own life about feeling really defeated by a situation.

I had gotten to the point where I felt like there weren’t any other options.

And then something happened that reminded me that just because I can’t see another option doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

This episode is really about faith, possibility and asking yourself whether you’ve stopped believing that things could actually get better.

We’re talking about what happens when we get discouraged, stop dreaming, and start accepting things we don’t really want simply because we can’t see another way forward.

I’ll encourage you to ask yourself:

Have I really exhausted all my options?

Or have I just stopped looking?

What might God be doing that I can’t see yet?

And what is one small step I could take to open myself back up to possibility?

Sometimes faith looks like trusting God.

And sometimes it also looks like asking more questions, exploring another option, reaching out to someone, and staying open to doors you didn’t even know existed.

If there’s an area of your life where you’ve started believing, “This is just how it has to be,” this one is for you.
