  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, where we're realizing everyone is always
• 0:07
  learning and living your full experience.

  I'm your host, Coach C, and this is Season 5, Episode 6, Work It Cause It's Worth It.
• 0:22
  We've reached the finale of season five where we've been talking about being made in the middle.
• 0:28
  If you've been with me this season, then you've learned something.
• 0:32
  We protected the flicker.
• 0:34
  We stood through the storm. We stayed committed to the route.
• 0:38
  We embraced the process of being made.
• 0:41
  We untangled ourselves from what was holding us back.
• 0:46
  Now there's one thing left to do. Work it.
• 0:50
  Today's episode is called Work It Cause It's Worth It. Can I tell you something?
• 0:59
  If it's in you, it's worth it. Work it.
• 1:03
  That dream, work it. That vision, work it.
• 1:08
  That business, work it. That ministry, work it.
• 1:14
  That degree, work it. Your healing, work it.
• 1:19
  That second chance, work it, work it, work it, because it's worth it.
• 1:27
  Can I be honest? Some of us don't have an idea problem.
• 1:32
  We have a belief problem. We'll have a brilliant idea, then spend the next six
• 1:39
  months talking ourselves out of it.
• 1:43
  It probably won't work. Someone else is already doing it.
• 1:47
  I'm too old. I'm too young. I don't have enough money.
• 1:53
  I don't know enough. What if I fail? What will people think?
• 1:58
  Meanwhile, someone else starts something similar.
• 2:03
  And what do we say? I had that same idea.
• 2:07
  Maybe you did, but ideas don't change lives.
• 2:12
  Action does. You didn't lose because someone had a better dream.
• 2:17
  You lost because they were theirs. Can I go a little deeper?
• 2:22
  Sometimes it isn't that we don't think the dream is worth pursuing.
• 2:28
  Sometimes we don't believe we're worth the dream. Yes, I said it.
• 2:35
  We'll clap for everybody else's success. We'll celebrate everybody else's courage.
• 2:42
  We'll admire everybody else's confidence while questioning our own.
• 2:48
  We spend so much time comparing our beginning to somebody else's middle that we never start.
• 2:58
  But let me remind you of something. God didn't place purpose inside of you by accident.
• 3:06
  He didn't give you gifts so they'd remain unopened.
• 3:11
  He didn't give you vision just so it could stay in your notebook.
• 3:15
  If he trusted you enough to carry it, can you trust him enough to pursue it?
• 3:24
  Listen, you'll never know what
• 3:27
  your idea could have become if you leave it sitting in your imagination.
• 3:32
  You'll never know how many people your story could have helped if you never tell it.
• 3:40
  You'll never know what doors would have opened if you never knocked.
• 3:46
  You'll never know what victories were waiting if you never showed up.
• 3:52
  Some things don't happen because we're lucky. Some things happen because we work them.
• 4:00
  Don't misunderstand me. I'm not talking about hustling until you're exhausted.
• 4:07
  I'm talking about stewarding what's already inside of you. Working your gift.
• 4:15
  Working your purpose. Working your faith.
• 4:20
  Working your consistency, working what God has already placed in your hands.
• 4:29
  Because here's what I've learned.
• 4:33
  Purpose doesn't usually arrive looking perfect.
• 4:38
  It arrives looking like work. And that's okay, because what is work?
• 4:45
  Often becomes what the world celebrates.
• 4:50
  Here's your fearless homework. This week, stop thinking about the idea. Start working it.
• 4:58
  Answer these three questions. One, what dream have I been sitting on because
• 5:05
  fear has been louder than faith?
• 5:08
  Two, what's one excuse I will stop making today? 3.
• 5:14
  What's one action I will take within the next 48 hours to move my purpose forward?
• 5:23
  Then make this declaration out loud every morning this week.
• 5:29
  What's in me is worth working.
• 5:33
  I'm worth showing up for. I'm worth the effort.
• 5:38
  My purpose deserves my participation.
• 5:42
  Remember, dreams don't work because we talk about them.
• 5:46
  Dreams work because we do. Stop waiting.
• 5:50
  Stop doubting. Stop shrinking. Stop comparing. Stop postponing.
• 5:56
  And work it. Because it's worth it.
• 6:01
  Until next time, live fearless. Keep learning. Keep living.
