When I started my podcast, to be honest, I was driven by the immense fulfillment that I get from engaging in meaningful conversations. There's something incredibly rewarding about connecting with individuals, diving into their stories, and exchanging insights that leave a powerful impact.
What I find so amazing is that most people don't even realize how much wisdom they carry within themselves until they start talking about their life. We often underestimate our own experiences and the lessons we have learned along the way. But when we open up and share, we unleash the knowledge and insight we sometimes forget we carry.
In my latest podcast episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Hilda, and she opened up about her spiritual journey. She explained that what drew her to God was the realization that as humans, we all have a need for something greater than ourselves to believe in. Her statement resonated with me on a deep level. Throughout the ups and downs of my life, one thing that has consistently kept me sane is my belief in a higher power. I find comfort that I have a God who is constantly working on my behalf, guiding me through the ups and downs of life. This belief in a higher power, greater than myself, enables me to see beyond my limitations. It grants me the ability to envision possibilities in situations that appear impossible at first glance. The idea that there is a force at work, far more significant than me, instills in me a sense of hope and resilience. It reminds me that even in the face of hardships, miracles can happen, and dreams can be realized.
What I find so beautiful about the twelve steps designed for Alcoholics Anonymous is the step-by-step process it offers. It is a journey that leads us towards the realization that we cannot conquer our demons alone. It is an acknowledgment that we require something greater than ourselves to overcome the burdens that consume us. The steps guide us through self-reflection, where we evaluate our shortcomings and work to be better versions of ourselves. Whether you have addiction issues or not, the twelve steps serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of having faith in something greater than oneself.
What I love about God is how He surrounds every aspect of our lives. Whether it's engaging in deep conversations with loved ones, searching for a meeting to attend, attending church on a Sunday morning, soaking up the warmth of the sun outdoors, or even when faced with overwhelming life experiences that seem too burdensome to bear alone, He provides moments that make us acknowledge the need for something greater than ourselves to believe in. God reminds us that relying solely on our own strength may not suffice, inspiring us to seek a higher power to lean on.
