Good morning, good afternoon and good evening everybody. It's your girl Sonia McQueen with your mind.
Your body, your choice. So yesterday I did a quick.
I was kind of uneasy about the segment I did. I think it was called, but.
Is that what they said and I did it based off of.
An email, so I just want to show you how sometimes things are brought together because.
I was talking about or speaking about somebody saying something and you misunderstanding or.
You coming like you think you understand and you repeat it, but you're repeating it.
In a negative way, and they didn't mean it in a negative way, or you're you're repeating it in a positive way. They definitely didn't mean it that way.
So getting complete understanding and I am going to take a leap from that conversation and still say this is the same subject.
It's still, but is that what he said? Because.
It's 2023, y'all.
And yesterday someone I truly truly care about.
His name is Kate. He is an amazing songwriter and pianist and singer and he's just amazing. He owns.
If you've never listened to his music, look up, I said, Kate's and ordained, you will be blessed beyond measure.
He is heart is real. I just love this young man. I call him Mike.
But anyway, he posted that his father passed away and it was crazy to me because just a few days ago, I was looking through some notebooks.
And I seen an interview I did with him when his mother passed away.
Him and I became really close when his mother passed away and we would talk all the time.
And I wrote down all these notes and I was going to share these notes with him yesterday and I thought, wow, look at God.
He just brought those notes from over 10 years ago to my forefront.
And here it is today. He's saying his father passed away. So this is my opportunity to share these notes with him.
But I did not get a chance to find those notes. I have all these notebooks from decades ago.
So I pulled out four notebooks. And when I tell y'all.
I didn't even find what Isaac and I talked about when I took those notes, but I did find a whole bunch of things about led by motivation stemming back from 2009 before I even thought of a led by motivation.
And I have notes from the very second time I spoke to Paula.
And she said to me, write it down and make it plain.
And if you know her, those are words she uses often, but I did it.
And I wrote down very specific things I wanted. And when I tell y'all.
It's 12345678 things that I wrote down and out of the eight, all of them have been met or taken care of or being met now.
I put down job. Okay.
What I asked for specifically for a job.
Got it.
I lived in it, thrived in it. Now I'm doing my own thing. I put down home.
Got it. I put down motivators. Lord Jesus, I got him.
I put down a church. I wanted to find the perfect church home and be a part of it. I didn't find the perfect home to go to here in Florida. However.
I have found the perfect praise and prayer partners and spiritual leaders that I absolutely look forward to spending time with.
And they absolutely elevate me. And that's important.
Some people go to church and I've said this before and I know you've heard about from a million other people, but there's no church in them.
They go, they're so religious, they're judgmental, they're mean, they're feisty, they want to fight, they're this and they're that.
They want to kill other people who don't believe that their way is the only way through Christ.
And they're dead wrong. And who wants to be a part of that? And I visited a lot of churches when I moved to Florida that were just like that.
And I know people here in Florida that are just like that.
But I found such great spiritual sisters and brothers that we speak positively, positivity, love and life into each other.
Children, I said I needed for all my children to understand their worth, work hard,
and diligently be the best versions of themselves they can be done, done.
Youngest daughter is a teacher, oldest daughter is a nurse still in school getting her NP and my son just graduated with his masters,
working for it, flying all over the world, working for an airline as a,
I forgot, a forecaster, a financial forecaster. So done, done, done relationship. I needed to see the errors of my ways so that I could have a strong,
lasting positive relationship and not just be so quick to get rid of people done.
God gave me a husband that I needed. And then my weight and body image, I wanted to change it and quit stressing so much about the way I look and embrace it and love it.
And y'all, if I don't love my body now, flaws and all, believe me, I got flaws. It's just amazing.
She said, write it down and make it plain. I wrote it down. It was plain. And I don't think I even came back.
This is from 2012 y'all 2012. The last thing that's in here is led by motivation and I put, I want my business to grow and prosper touching lives all around the world in a godly positive way.
Let me tell you something. I'm still working on the business itself, but motivational monthly. And if you don't get it, shame on you.
It's free and all you had to do was send me an email to led by motivation 07 and gmail.com and you can get this free newsletter. But motivational monthly was seen all over the world before I stopped it.
And once again, I stopped it for no reason other than I was tired. So now I'm doing it again. It's only in the United States right now, but that's about to change. God already showed me.
It's about to blow up and we're going to bless people for free. I got 4 new right. It's, it's amazing. I wrote it down and made it plain. But not only that, you guys.
When I say, but did he, did he say that? There are so many other things that I noticed I wrote down before I even thought of a led by motivation that led me to this place.
It might not be overnight. You guys, when you get to where you're supposed to be, you might be.
Wallowing in your purpose. It might be a slow charm.
It might be like making. What is that? Not buggy. It's, it's something my mom eats.
And it's an Asian dish and they take cabbage leaves and they put all these different ingredients and they used to put it outside and bury it and leave it out there for Lord knows how many days or weeks.
And then they take it out and then they eat it.
And it might be a slower process than that. Just think of the slowest thing watching a child grow.
You might know your purpose when you're pregnant with your first child.
And it might keep showing its head and showing its head.
But it might not be fully developed until that child is in their second year of college. You just never know.
Be patient and stay the course. I fell off this bridge and I fell off.
And as I said the other day, and a vessel kept picking me up, pulling me out of the water, put me up there, letting me dry and taking me to land again.
You never know. Do not close the door. Don't say, oh, well, God didn't do this in this amount of time. There's no time limit for God.
If you're breathing, it still can happen. It still will happen. You just got to be patient and willing.
You got to be patient and willing. And for me to say that is amazing because I wasn't patient and I wasn't too willing. But here I am.
Here I am. And you know why? Because I paid attention to what he said and the people he brought around me and the people he told me to remove from around me.
It makes a difference, you guys. Open your ears. Open your mind. Shut your mouth and pay attention.
That person who you said was crazy, who came up to you and said, God said, and you're like that person crazy. I don't even know them.
Pay attention. Pay attention. You never know who the angel is. God's delivering a message to you from.
You never know. I got a, I woke up this morning to a text message.
And all it was, was a message about from this lady on YouTube just saying, you know, why you can't get why God is not allowing you to get a job right now.
And if you guys did not hear me say recently that I kept trying to get a job and kept trying and nothing was going through. And that was amazing to me. And I'm setting up these interviews going to second and third interviews.
And my final interview, the people not showing up and CEO's not showing up. And, you know, I got hired for one job and never heard from these people again.
And it was obvious God was blocking stuff left and right and telling me, girl, if you don't stop and sit your butt down somewhere and walk in this thing on purpose, I'm giving you, it's your time.
It's your time. What are you doing? Why are you still out there looking for a job and blocking other people's abilities to get this job?
Because these people are wasting time on you interviewing you for your skill set two and three times. Now I gotta flatten this guy's tire.
Now I gotta make him sleep overtime. Now I gotta make them lose your email address and phone number.
And now I hear him because it's what he said.
And I understand it clearly. I didn't understand before, but now I'm paying attention.
And I'm listening for the direct words and I'm going to tell you guys this and I'm going to let you go.
So I get on my Bible every day and sometimes I do.
I get on my Bible every day. Let me say that first before I am y'all to death on this. So there are plans. You can do a plan and you can do it by yourself or you can do it with somebody else.
So my friend Carol sent me a plan and we were doing it together.
And I felt like God kept telling me, you got to do this plan over. You're not you're missing something. You're missing something.
So I definitely was missing some serious gems and I don't know what it is about me. Sometimes I can listen to something and I can listen to it again the next day or later.
And I'm like, I listened to this whole thing gave it my full concentration and didn't hear any of this.
But what really got me yesterday was I missed a devotion.
And so I waited and I close my eyes and I played it again.
And I was telling my husband, I don't know how, but I missed so much and it has seven characteristics of a great leader.
And the night before I was writing the values for my company and do you know the seven characteristics of a great leader had five of the values I needed.
I was struggling and just listening a second time for clarity gave me those values. So I want to tell you guys stay strong.
Pay attention if you need to listen twice if you need clarity get it, but it helps and it works.
It helps and it works getting that clarity is everything.
All right, just add this on to yesterday's podcast. You guys somebody I always say this even if this isn't my strongest podcast.
It's okay. It was downloaded in me and somebody needed to hear it. Somebody desperately needed to hear this today.
It's me. You can find me at Sonya. So, and why Emma at ledbymotivation.com or you can email us at led by motivation 07 and Gmail.
You could always go to our website ledbymotivation.com and send us a message. If you have an idea for a podcast, send it to me. If you have a question, send it to me.
