As a new driver, you have to be completely focused when you're driving.
Even something like thinking about what you want for dinner can distract you from the road.
Mistakes can actually become a distraction too.
The more we replay and keep track of our mistakes and what happened, the less we are paying attention to what's happening.
Life is the same way.
If we're too busy replaying our mistakes, they can become a roadblock and keep us from going where we need to go and being who we need to be.

Who do you best relate to?
And what do you relate to more, their best moments of glory, or their or awkward and embarrassing moments?
I was at a conference two months ago where someone shared this nugget: "Your Mess Becomes Your Message."
I believe that God takes what the devil intends to destroy us with and uses it to make us stronger and give us a victorious story.
Whatever crazy, messy season you’re going through, it's going to make a good story soon

As I was thinking up a long list of things I wish I was better at, I hear, “define better… "
I had to honestly think about it.
I had the revelation that to "be better" either meant I had to look at my personal best, or compare myself with people who are better.
Listen in today to find out what you have that no one can compete with and how the greats have silenced the voices of insecurity.

We never know what going on in people’s heads, what’s really going on behind the scenes, and what people's true intentions are.
When we catch someone on a bad day, or a bad moment, we don’t know what’s really going on in their life right now.
And it’s so easy to judge, make assumptions, and maybe return the bad moment or bad day on that same person or someone else.
But you can make change like you wouldn't believe...once you drop your assumptions.

Why do we swear and why is it so bad?
Did you know that people who constantly swear are viewed as insecure, lazy, have low self-control, and less intelligent than they actually are?
So, why do we trade looking insecure for cuss words?
Transcript:
Why do we swear and why is it so bad?
When I was a little kid, even using words like stupid and dumb were reacted to by other kids with wide eyes and their jaw dropped to the ground.
But I guess as we get older, we learn new words and we think we’re kind of cool and we start using them.
But did you know that people who are constantly swearing are viewed as insecure, lazy, low self-control, and even less intelligent than they actually are?
So, why do we trade using cuss words for looking lazy and insecure? Typically three reasons.
We use it for emphasis, attention, and anger. You know, we hit our table--yeah, we hit our table with our side, we burn our fingers, I don’t know, it happened to me once--on a light bulb even, or we’re just really fired up about a debate.
But, you know, you could spend hours on your hair and your physical appearance, but people are going to remember you best by your words.
So, I challenge you this week to learn some new words to add to your vocabulary. And remove certain words from your vocabulary.
But don’t beat yourself up about it if, like, you hit your side on the table, or burn your hand, because once your brain is aware of a problem, it’s going to want to start to solve it.
So that is the challenge this week. Give me a smiley face in the comments if your are accepting it and if you are going to win this!
I’m Grace Plata, and I’m here to equip, empower, and encourage you to help you live your best life!
Thank you so much for listening to this message! Please share with three friends, and I will see you next week!

What if there was one thing you could do right now to start feeling fulfilled and do something that could positively impact people's lives?
I know that might sound crazy and maybe even impossible, but once you understand this ONE thing you can finally have the kind passion that everyone is looking for.
That one thing is...momentum...but a new kind of momentum that no one really talks about.

Don’t you dare believe even for a second that you’re some weirdo no one can relate to.
You're aren't the only one going through a battle. You'd be shocked to know how many people are going through the VERY SAME PROBLEMS that you are.
Even checking current statistics will surprise you, but more importantly prove to you, that you're not the only one.

About a year ago, I was healed of crippling fear and deep depression after it had come and gone for years.

So, I’d like to share a few things I've learned on how to beat toxic emotions and thoughts, and how you can have complete freedom and healing.
