  Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sweet Spot.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I'm Dr Derek Sweet, your host, and today today is Trust Yourself Thursday We've been looking at the idea of shining the power of one's light all week long and today, on Trust Yourself Thursday, we are going to delve a little deeper into the connection between your trust and your shine.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So guess what?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: As a sports and entertainment psychiatrist, I meet all kinds of people.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I speak to all types of winners in life and it's amazing to me that there are some who are just naturally able to let their light shine and they don't allow obstacles or challenges or adversities to overshadow them and overshadow their light.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: And kind of like a lighthouse right, I'm thinking of a lighthouse.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Lighthouses are fascinating.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: They stand tall, they shine this light out over the dark ocean and they just sit there and shine.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They don't question their shining, there's no self-doubt, there's no worry.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: They just continue to shine.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: They're very secure in their identity.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And, okay, maybe we're not lighthouses, but we can learn from this approach, this approach of being a shining star in whatever it is God has given you to do.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Whatever your purpose is, you want to stand tall, you want to let your light shine and you want to trust.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Trust that it's exactly the kind of light that someone else needs out there and that if you don't shine your light, that ships could get lost or, worse, they could crash, worse they could crash.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: There's someone or some group of people that really need you to be in your purpose and walking in your light, and I guess the first person is you.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You've got to trust yourself.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Trust that whatever gift you have, whatever it is that you're put here on earth to do, you're going to do that, and it doesn't matter what other people say.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Let them have their own opinions, their own darkness, whatever it is that they're coming to you with.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But you must continue to shine.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Whenever you hear a little voice inside of you whispering, go for it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That's that spirit, that Holy Spirit, that inner voice in you.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: That's your inner light telling you to shine brighter.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And every time you trust that voice, your light grows stronger.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we just dim our shine because we're afraid, and fear just eats our soul.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Fear just creates more darkness, and the antidote for that is more light.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we're just sort of waiting for the right time all the time, and that's fear too.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: But here's the truth the more you trust your own light, the more clearly you will light up the path that's ahead of you.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It's like having your own built-in flashlight, always pointing you in the right direction when you trust it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So here's your sweet spot challenge today Do one thing that scares you a little bit but excites you also.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's speaking up at a meeting and getting your voice heard.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's trying something new, wearing something that you were a little scared to wear.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Wear it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Or maybe it's about starting a project you've never started but you don't think you have the tools to start it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Ah, start it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Your heart's been calling you, your mind's telling you trust the inner glow, trust the light.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It's pointing you in the direction you need to grow in.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So here's a beautiful quote from Brene Brown.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to leave you with this Trust is built in the small moments.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Each time you honor your inner light, you're building that trust, one spark at a time.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I'll repeat it Trust is built in the small moments, my friend.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Each time, each time you honor that inner light, that inner voice, you build and you stack trust one spark at a time.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So today, I want you to share your moments of trust with me on hashtag SweetSpotShine on Instagram or on TikTok, or I'm on YouTube at Derek Sweet and let's share together and see how we can allow our collaborative lights to shine brightly this year All right now.
