    "sometimes you can't grow into the next best version of you because you're keeping score on the last version of you." Yep sounds like me!

    About how he survived all those years in prison, Gandi replied "I didn't survive, I prepared." This is the perspective I remind myself of when I'm trapped in a negative situation/season of life.

    It is not easy to take care of my mother who is always negative, so I get creative. I cook alot to help me deal with her negative moods. And I put her favorite movies to change the mood. I tell myself, I will still have joy, despite her mood. I don't feed her negativity. And fortunately, I get her to laugh and be happy by changing the home environment. And giving my mother hope, it a gift God has blessed me with.

      Alexandria Reynoso thank you for sharing this I was going to ask Lisa about dealing with a negative elderly parent whom you love dearly. I’m not taking care of her but she lives in Georgia I live in Tennessee so we talk a lot over the phone. Everything she says is negative about other family members I state I’m not interested in others siblings or family information only what going on with her but sometimes I don’t know if my mom knows how to say positive things maybe possibly because of her up bringing so I sometimes let her calls go to voicemail. My dilemma is she is up in age I need to speak with her about certain health issues. Thank you for giving me more ideas to consider 🙏

      Alexandria Reynoso, THANK YOU for sharing this comment! I am going through the same thing with my mom. I love her dearly, but she is going through depression and may not be aware of it, and I take care of her, so I find it a struggle living with someone who can be negative and give off negative energy, but I see this example given and I will execute it! Thanks!

    I spend so much time by myself, and it's tempting to say that I sometimes feel "alone". But, I'm beginning to appreciate this time that I have to get to know myself. God is teaching me His ways, and showing me who I am. In that time, He has led me to people like you who say things that affirm that spending and ENJOYING time with myself has value and is actually fulfilling...versus allowing myself to feel "alone". To say that your expressions are BOLs for me is an understatement! You are one of the first speakers that I encountered in my journey, and I am eternally grateful that God led me to you! Even through UA-cam, I can feel your passion and sincerity for doing the work that God created you to do. I can only imagine how life-changing and transforming it will be to meet you. I believe that our paths will cross one day, and I look forward to sharing my journey with you, just as you are being so gracious and obedient to God by sharing your journey with us! Peace and blessings to you and your family, staff and supporters! :-)

      Then I came across Lisa Nichol motivational speaker on "UA-cam; what a blessing to know I am not alone
      Lisa, God bless you, you are doing and awesome job. I talk with you later. Be bless.

      Dearest Lisa, I am in awa what you talk to people about, what you talk about is my inner critic saying to me over and over again. I listened to many teachers, I read a lot of books, I learned and learned and learned. The hard way, just like you. I am challenged in so many ways, that I wished that I had only one challenge. If you think that being a black single mother with no skills that others appreciate. And you inspire people to make their future. I hear that you go boldly, and want to be just like you. With all my challenges, I want to be like you. I want to stop telling myself that I am not good enough. With all my challenges I had shown up in my life. You are my ultimate challenge, to be just like you. What do I admire in you? You show yourself, your total self. I will learn from you how to show myself, with all my challenges. And they are many. A scared little girl who sat hours each evening at table with my dad next to me who forced me to eat meat.. That was when my drive was born and that was the time when I tried to stand up fro my beliefs. All challenges that came after that time, got worse and worse. Because I was afraid to get punished. Afraid to be rejected, afraid to be shamed. Afraid of life. I learned from just one speach from you, that I can be like you. That in fact I am you, but am afraid to be you. So I am going to battle and go beyond the fear. Thank you so much... I really, really love you and realise when I write this sentence, that I finally allow myself to love me. I will follow you dear Lisa. You are amazing. Lots of love.. I am sending lots of love and light to you.. At the same time that I send this to me. I feel deeply connected to you. Even given the fact that I look totally different. For I am a white woman, past her youth, 59 years old, challenged by being an empath, being highly sensitive, conquering effects of brainhemmorhage when I was 17, and hernia, trombose, lung emboly. Challenged by feeling not enough. Challenged by giving and giving without daring to receive.i cannot say it enough, you are my inspiration to finally break through my fears.. I share your heart.

      I thought this life was only for me. I to spend a lot of time alone, but I love it. I'm now spending the time to know myself better and have the presence of Jesus as my guidance counselor. I feel free coming out of a toxic relationship which drained my soul. I'm looking forward to meeting the better version of myself. May God be with you in your awesome journey.

    I know this video is a year old, but I accidentally came across it, after listening to 2 other Lisa Nichols speeches...
    I was listening to Les Brown (and still do) but somehow found Lisa. I am so glad she exists. And she is real.
    My #1 BOL is her comment from her grandma, “if you want your ‘yes’ to have more power you need to excercise your ‘no’. ‘No’ is a complete sentence, it requires no explanation.”
    I truly appreciate finding this. I am in the process of creating my own photography biz and brand and of ALL the folks I’ve listened to (Robbins, brown, ziglar, goggins, amongst others) she is the most real and relatable. But like she said use 3 or 4 things and make them yours. That’s been my life for the past 6 months. And those around me have noticed.
    Thank you Lisa and crew!

    Create a safe haven. I have created a safe haven for my daughters and their friends at my home. I made a special comfy room in my backyard where they hang out, eat pizza or work out. These young ladies can visit me when they are feeling stress. It has been very rewarding for me to be a part of their lives. Helping them gives me so much joy! And these young ladies are good company for me.

I have been watching you for 2 years now and am so grateful for all that you do. I am 24 yrs old and am currently working to build my company to uplift my community. You have taught how to love, forgive and create meaningful life experiences at a young age thank you thank you thank you for being our blessing from god himself. God loves you, I love you the world loves you 💕💕💕🙏🏿👑 May god continue to bless you ministry!!!!

    For me witnessing you choosing to let yourself be vulnerable on "You Tube " by giving yourself permission to cry. I am so absent of emotions that I want to cry but seem unable to. I am 75 years old, not a lot of time left but I want to be the best I can be and you Lisa Nichols are inspiring me. I want to be the woman who can allow myself to be able to shed some tears for the emotional pain I have survived. Thank you "You Tube" and thank you Lisa and Matt.

  • @anyangthiep8802

    Lisa, you give people the love they desire. The lesson I have learn is give people the love they desire and the love that you desire. You are a gift
    to the world truly. That is really good idea to write down the positive things people say about you. And leave out the negative. Because when you are in your lower point in your life you will look to the positive things people said about you and it will remind you how good you really are. Don't write the negative, write the positive things only.

    For now I'll probably just commit to watching this video over and over, be gentle with myself, because the truth is I am in this moment paralyzed by fear. I've been in bed for 3days, curtains closed, fighting panic attacks and screaming out to God to help me. Then I keep remembering something Lisa said in another video...."you are your own rescue"

    BOL!!! The YANA for me was that I’m the one to whom everyone can come, but I wouldn’t go to anyone for anything! I could do it, figure it out, etc. on my own, which was/is is correct, just not HEALTHY! When your 60-70% is the 100%+ of those who draw from you it can be daunting, but I’m beginning to create my own tribe of like-minded people and God is just stacking them up in my path...total strangers! I met one in the gas station just yesterday. Lisa, if it were not for you sharing your love the way you do, I would NEVER even have imagined that I need and want people in my life the way I do! I know you hear it so often, but I love and appreciate you so much my Sister in prosperity and possibility! Rebecca (#PowerJam2020)

    I love you Lisa. I'm 46 and lost but I know being part of your tribe I will be found. I aspire to be as transparent as you and reach others with unconditional love. My aha moment is 'it's WHEN I get to the light NOT if. Lisa you crawled and walked but you never stopped, I beat myself up because I'm not keeping a steady pace but I'm still going and I have no intention of stopping until I get to that light, then I start my next phase. Thank you my sister ❤️❤️

    Lisa I’m so so inspired by you. And although you make me want to do better and have pushed me to choose to step out; one of the most heart warming things is…. I have an 11 year old granddaughter. Her name is Faythe. The more I hear your story I know she’s already a little Lisa. And I’m going to make sure she knows who you are because one day she’s going to be on the stage saying, my grandmother kept telling me about this lady. So much til I had to find out who she was and now I know why.
    It bring tears to my eyes to think about her struggles but joy in my heart to know her strength. She says she’s going to be on a stage one day and I absolutely know it. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

    Lisa, your essence is gigantic and you help us as a leader. However, although we are just stepping into this journey and have this tribe, with YOU as the leader,. Because you have made it clear that you are still growing each day, you still fall (take time to manage the fall) but NEVER doubt that you will get up, sprinting/walking/crawling to the light, etc., We know that you are also part of this tribe AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE AND SPECIAL! Therefore, what you mentioned about jealousy & envy; there is no need for jealousy and envy here, Please let ME be the first to welcome you to YOUR tribe with arms open wide!!! Thank you so much for what you do! Although you are in the chair (Queen), you allow us to connect on whichever level we are on at the time. You have made it to that chair, and still on 'the walk', as we are. Thank you for acknowleding that you are an ordinary person, making multiple extraordinary decisions each day. You are, indeed, an Arabian...

    I really needed this. I am you and you are me. So much you spoke about I can relate to. I still feel that if it is not hard or difficult then it must not be worthy to be a calling. Then there is the saying thank you. That's me all day. I will now say "I receive that". Next there is the asking for help as like a form of self-care. Whew am I guilty of that. Lastly, being feeling lonely but not reaching out. I love solitude because it refreshes me. However, I love people and want to help them. That's just some of the ones I can identify with. I got so many nuggets. I will be sure to listen multiple times until it sinks in. Thank you Sister for helping me! I receive it.....#sendinglove

  • @kimberlybeninati9064
    @kimberlybeninati9064 5 років тому +1

    My BOL was being able to id and relate to the contradiction between what I thought of me and the gift God gave me to share w others that I too saw and see being laid out before me as I share it to help me see my identity. And to learn to accept that appreciation and it helped me realize the goodness, consistency and grace God gives. As cohen wrote, the cracks let the light come in but I will add, and when others see that light snd say ty, it’s confirmation you are working with the light at some level.

    Thank you I learned tobe more open to be a better listener. To be more compassionate and. That its ok to ask for time. And its ok to take that time to figure out what it is that I am creating and how to build it back up. I am in the process of rebuilding and what I like to call it right now. I am on the journey to the Royal Palace! I may not kno all the answers and sometimes I can get a little confused but what I have realized is I am always on the path whether I am in a mode of confusion or not I am so pleased and impressed to find myself being able to break through the confusion and find all of the solutions whether if my methods may be a bit hyperly charmed in my mind its where all the magic happen and I am finally able to accept that its been here right inside of me all the time I just had a bit of clouds in my eyesight and now I am pushing right along towards the decisions and intentions to motivate another version of us! So thank you 🙏💗 I love my 🎁

Thank you for reminding us to be patient with ourselves on this journey and focus on one day at a time…and that life can be a marathon not a sprint. I also want to thank you for sharing the acknowledgements at the end - I find them so impactful ♥️

    This video is a pivoting moment for me starting 1/21/22. I was captivated & compelled to get back on track . To Refocus, Refuel and Resume my marathon. (Mega bawling), -when I heard you say Lisa, "I believe there's a Lisa somewhere. (Confirmation regarding my prayers five years ago.) "I just know that I am out there in different forms"......"Because once there is evidence that you can do it, then there is no excuse for you not to. I AM YOUR EVIDENCE! Because I am not extraordinary. I am ordinary." Lisa, you spoke POWERFULLY to me!! Catching my breath to get back up again.

    I love how relatable Lisa is - she is so down-to-earth and real. I'm not sure I understand what a BOL is, but what struck me most was near the end when Lisa says she is an ordinary woman making multiple extraordinary decisions each day to create an extraordinary life experience. I'm ordinary, so I can relate to that.... maybe I need to start by making more extraordinary decisions...

    @CreatingTogetherness 2 роки тому

    my BOL was absolutely the part where you write down where you are, and where you want to be. And then inbetween you write the steps to get there. It made me realise how I've been focusing on too much on the problem and how to better my life without getting clear about what do I even want! It just woke something up in me. Thank you so much for this conversation ❤

    Lisa I can’t explain how much you have helped and impacted my life! Your relatability has taught me that i don’t have to be perfect to help others!! I’ve always known God has called me to something big but like you At one point, I don’t know what that end looks like but I’m down for the ride of crazy faith and for funding my dream before I even know what it looks like! Thank you from this 26 year old African American girl who went from a two parent household to completely parentless at the age of 14 to see the bigger in my life! You playing full out has done far more than I can ever explain to you! Thank you! I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment but I wanted to leave just so that you knew how much you mean to me!

    Lisa, you are one of my role models in life now. I am so happy during this extremely tough time that I have right now, I happened to come across your video on UA-cam. My tears dropped when I saw your tears because I realize something about having faith. It is not about expecting great things to come all the time. Faith is about having that belief that we have strength to go through tough times in our lives.

    Where do I start? Lisa, my personal transformation has begun yet once again... I found you like I have found a couple of very helpful resources, typing in keywords into the search box of UA-cam and Ted Talks... I am so grateful to have connected with your energy... I love to listen to you while I am at the gym, maximizing every moment of my time wisely... I continue to be completely captivated by your truth, your energy, and your transparency every video I watch and I have seen hours worth of material that has inspired me hugely, in only these last three weeks... I am in it to win it... I am a big sponge, absorbing all of the juicy little nuggets I possibly can... I listened intently to every single word that you both exchanged in this hour video... I am walking away with so many little nuggets... I am learning incredible strategies to include journals and taking notes, etc... You had two coaches, Oprah had four, so you went ahead and got yourself two more coaches... I am a highly sensitive person, I am a light-worker, a healer, a man of positive vibes... I just graduated from college, my first formal education, and at 45 years now, I am a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant... Boy has the structure of academics changed since 1991... At 40, when I began my academic journey, I also wanted to be a life-coach, because I know I have a gift also, just have no idea how to manifest such... I struggled in school and worked 3x as hard as my peers in college to make the Deans list, but I did (reading and comprehension was NOT my strong suit)... BUT I DID IT!!! I am very proud and very grateful... I am walking away with so many little nuggets from just this one hour that it is necessary to have a journal handy moving forward... I know and understand that in order to be of the best service as a Pediatric Healthcare provider, I need to stand on my past and step into my purpose... I am a lover and I am a giver, I will give everything I have... I need to just ride the wave that my little micro-winds have created and soon I will be surfing the big wave with the macro-winds that I will be creating for myself... There is nothing little about what I am doing, it is HUGE for me... I am so full of emotion and just want to be the best I can be... I am cultivating so many seeds and I do see the light at the end of the tunnel... I look at the big picture, or the mountain before me and I think, one step at a time... This new journey has just begun Miss Lisa... I am hooking my caboose up to yours... I appreciate you and you and thank you... I know I am NOT alone but it sure does feel like it...

    Ok I’m probably the oldest woman having commented. Often I feel is if why try? I’ve missed so many opportunities because of fear or insecurities or not feeling good enough. Listening to you today made me wish I had heard you years ago but it has certainly encouraged me and let me know that it’s never too late. thank you so much for being so honest so genuine so caring. I wish I could get coached and I don’t know where I can find out how this senior can get a little boost. I certainly thoroughly enjoyed you today you blessed my life you encouraged me and I’m about to finish the book I had put it off for a while finishing. but I’m going to the computer and finish it today. God bless you and thank you!

    Watching this shared conversation and actually seeing and feeling the vulnerability in it...I Really Really Really appreciate and receive this.

    Thank you for providing content that speaks to my heart, mind, body, and soul. I feel like I'm late to the party, but I'm here now, and the DJ is playing my favorite song. I get up between 4 am and 5:30 am each morning and listen to you as I walk. I just now figured out how I'm going to record my #BOL moments from now on. I'm going to take an old cell phone and use the voice recorder app and everytime you give me a #BOL I'm going to repeat it while recording it.
    Thank you for living your truth out loud and unapologetically. I can't wait to meet you.

    Hi Lisa and Matt, I've watched this video a few times but today I really heard it and I can see I keep getting in my own way due to current circumstances which are negative, and in a strange way that's been my comfort zone- if you have a valid reason it's an excuse to quit. Not anymore for me #BOL xxx

    I had the awesome privilege of volunteering at the Speak and Write Conference in San Diego last May. Connecting with incredible people was life changing. This video was timely and I am inspired beyond words. My BOL- "I can't grow into the next best version of me because of keeping score of the last version of me" I rewound 6 times trying to catch it. I am releasing the lies I held onto about not being good enough, or worthy to motivate people. The other BOL was instead of saying thanks when complimented, say " I receive that". I am going to start a "Validation Journal" of things people say to affirm the gifts and talents that God has blessed me with. Thanks Lisa and Matt!

Lisa you are trailblazer so many people have done great things but when you ask them how they did it, you get one word answers, like preserve. You share and give us so much and I am sure I can speak for everyone by saying we Appreciate It. My #Bol is me knowing that I am not going to always be where I am right now and thanks for saying that. I use to say I can enjoy my own company but being alone to much is not good, I also like the company of others another moment. Well thanks again Trailblazer. 😁
