168. Unpacking Beliefs: Beat Goliath, pt. 3 · Your Enriched Self

• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I have to admit I'm having a ton of fun
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: unpacking these beliefs. I'm here in this series with you
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to challenge you to think differently about your belief system.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We know, and I'm sure you know, that your belief
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: systems have formulated the life that you're living right now.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And for some parts of our life that might not
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: sound fair, might not sound great, but that's the reality.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And in order to change the outcome, we need to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: change what is incoming into our lives. We need to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: change how we manage the beliefs that we have and unpack,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and that's what this series is all about. I have
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: already celebrated my milestone birthday and I'm still on a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: natural high. I'm excited to share this with you. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: so this week, what I want to talk about as
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we continue this conversation is the Goliath in your life.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: There is something in your life that is monumental, It
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: is giganguous, it is significant, and if you are to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: take that thing down, it changes the entire trajectory.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Of your life.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And I get Goliath from the story of David and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Goliath in the Bible. One of the things that I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: started doing in the last several years, but this year
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I've just had a fascination with King David, but not
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: necessarily him as king, his early stages.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: If you.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Are interested and you haven't read Story of David, it's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: important for you to go to.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Samuel and read that book.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's important for you to go to the Bible and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: start reading through. For understanding the story of I would
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: say the making of King David, and so by the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: time many of us I know. For me, when I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: heard about David growing up in church, it was David
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: using his slingshot to take down Goliath, and it is
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a fascinating story in itself. But when I start to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: think about what we need to unpack, I think it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that when we hear these stories of valor and victory,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we love it, we engage with it. It's very entertaining.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But the reality is there was some behind the scenes
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: work that we did not get to see, we did
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: not get to witness, and we don't typically focus on
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that because we like what's in front, what's on front
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of stage. We like to engage with that because that's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: more entertaining and it's more appealing to the eyes. It's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: what you call the sexy stuff. If we're going to unpack,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we need to start going to the things that are
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: not so sexy, the dirty things, the messy things. As
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you think about your Goliath, I want you to put
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Goliath in its place for now, but I need you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to go back to a season when things were bigger
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: than Goliath. Not necessarily bigger in terms of its form,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: but bigger in terms of the challenges, bigger in terms
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of the activity that would be required. And so if
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you follow David's story, David was like a shepherd.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I mean that's what he was. That's what his work was.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Before he started becoming an amazing man of war, right,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: he became a the type of person you want to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: put on your line to usher your men and women
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: who would serve their country.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You would want David to be that leader.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You would want him to be that commander of all
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of these agents of war. But it didn't start off
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that way. Again, David was just a shepherd and his
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: job was to tend the sheep. And typically that would
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be at night. And while David was doing his you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: basic work, which some of you might think what you're
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: doing is basic, what you're doing is insignificant.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: What you're doing is not so important.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: What you're doing is not sexy because I don't know
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that at the time.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: What jobs were, you know, the jobs of the future.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But I don't think people really wanted to do that
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: work because they would have to be up at night.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: They would typically be by themselves, and hear this, they
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: would have to battle other animals in the wild that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we're trying to take out their sheep. And so that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: where David's backstory comes from. And that's the story that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: as I was in study and I was kind of processing,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I thought, Wow, we get to see David strike down Goliath,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: but we didn't hear the stories of David striking down
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the lions and the tigers and the bears. Oh my,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: until we get to the Book of Psalms, where he
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: starts talking about, oh my, gosh, I am like under attack,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I am under pursued, I am the enemies after me
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like David. Is literally in the Book of Psalms, which
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: is written by David journaling his experiences out there in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the wild. So by the time David gets to this opponent, Goliath,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: where he is taking up on this challenge, accepted moment
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: right by the current King, he is pretty much ready.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And what I'm saying to you now is the things
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that you believe in your life, that are happening, that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: are insignificant, that are a complete bore, that are dirty work,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: are quite frankly and quite literally, the thing that you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: need to take down your goliath. So I want you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to identify your goliath, who, what, where is the goliath
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of your life. And yes, it might not take a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: lot to take it down. Here's why, because you've been
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in practice. You have been like David out in the wilderness,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: having his wilderness experience and going forth with a level
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of confidence. When I read that story about David and Goliath,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. David had God on his side. When
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you got God on your side, you're gonna have confidence.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have gonfidence. So I get that. But there
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was some other swagger in David, and I think it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: because he had God on his side while in the wilderness.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: He called upon God in the wilderness, and so when
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he was at his moment, if you will, a lot
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of you are at that moment and you don't know where.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: To turn to.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: But if you've been at practice dealing with your thing,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and dealing with it with God. When it's time to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: get to the big one, the big fish, the big catch,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have a level.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Of confidence that God got me.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: He had me then all those times, those many, many, many,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: many moments, I know he has me.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: If you listen, if you read the scripture about when
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: David is taking down Goliath, you will hear a level
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of confidence. You will almost feel like you are in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the picture. You are in the arena when these two men,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: one who is giganguous in many ways, physical form and all,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and this.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Little shepherd boy.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Let's stop and say for a minute, he's young, he's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a boy, okay, when he's in this space. But because
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: he had executed day by day, because he had already
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in the wilderness season, dealt with the wild and dealt
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: with it consistently, and probably dealt with fear and dealt
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: with you know, limited beliefs about the fact that he
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: was gonna survive the night. But in turn, he was
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: able to use all of that experience to get to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a season of his life where not only is he confident,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: but he successfully took down his giant, your Goliath.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what you're up against.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you whatever you're up against, I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: bet if you were to unpack your belief about how
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: big this thing really is, you're gonna realize it's just
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like the other things you have dealt with. It may
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: look bigger, but in fact it's the same size in
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: your mind of what you're dealing with. We can do
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: some amazing things in life. I mean, the fact that
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: David took down that giant was simply fascinating. I mean again,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I have to say, read the story. Read it for understanding,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: read it for new understanding, because prior to me again
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: unpacking these beliefs, I just read the story point blank,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: face value. Shepherd takes down a giant, But there's so
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: much more to the backstory. There's so much more to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: his history, there's so much more to his relationship that
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: put him in a position where he could have that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: confidence that he can be that bold. I mean, no
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: one else wanted this challenge. He stood up, raised his
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: hand and said I'm in. He didn't even wait to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: put in. He was like, put me in, Coach, I'm
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: jumping in, and I don't know when your glian is
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: gonna show up.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Your golia.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It might already be at your front door, literally right now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Your Goliat might show up in a couple months. But
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you these little gritty moments, these ugly moments,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: these uncomfortable seasons that you're in, you are being prepped,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you are getting ready. That way, you don't have to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: get ready. You are ready for the moment. And David was,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and I know you two will be ready for your
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: moment and you will be successful. You have to believe it,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you have to know it. But you have to get
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it from the grit season, when your head's down, when
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you're doing your work, when you're minding your business. David was,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: he was by himself doing the work, doing the grit work,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the ugly work. But that turned into amazing outcomes. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: that's what you're up for. I'm up for it, You're
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: up for it. I'm excited for this season. Let's continue
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to unpack these beliefs and get to a point where
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: we can live and give like we never have before.
