Good morning, good afternoon and good evening everybody. It's your girl Sonya McQueen with it's your life. What are you doing with it?
Question I always have questions, right?
Are you unhappy that the way you wanted things to go aren't going that away
are you sad that you're making these plans and
And nothing is working in your favor and it's just so upsetting, right?
you you make these plans and
Stuff starts happening and it gets in the way of what you're trying to accomplish
And it is so upsetting and you spend so much time
Trying to figure out how to get back on track or where you went wrong or do you have the wrong people around you?
Are you are you putting your faith in the wrong people? Are you are you going about getting to this goal the wrong way and?
Every move you make
Nothing is right. You're bumping your head to the left. You're bumping your head to the right and
You're you're wondering
God, what am I doing wrong?
Maybe you're not listening I
Am here to tell you your plans might not equal what his plans are for you
And if his plans are not the direction you're trying to go in he might keep throwing roadblocks up
take a step back and
quit thinking about all
The things going wrong
Pray about are you following the right path?
Is this really where he wants you to go?
Is this truly your purpose what you're trying to do or is it just something you want to do?
You know, I've said this before and and it's honestly not to knock anybody. Maybe the first time I said it it was to
Do a I'm talking about you moment, but you know, I've grown past that
When I wrote my first book, I didn't know any authors not a single one personally and I am an avid reader an avid reader
But I didn't know anybody who wrote a book and I I wrote the book and it wasn't on purpose
I didn't sit down and decided to write a book. I was writing my feelings and a book came out
And the book was published and it did very very well
And then friends of mine seen this and they were like well, I could write a book if you could write a book and it do well
I want to be rich. I wasn't rich
What they seen as favor for me was people reaching out to me asking me to come speak about my book asking me to be on their
Radio show asking me to be on their TV show asking me to do this asking me to do that
And that's what they wanted and they started going after it and
Of course
It wasn't a great success for any of them. You know why?
They got off of their path
To follow my path and that wasn't what got ordained for them
And maybe one of them did do well, but she did well for all the wrong reasons
All the wrong reasons and then you have people who see other people do things
Great. There is a beautiful butterfly. I have never seen I am so sorry. I
Have never seen that I can remember a butterfly
Here in South Florida and it's outside my bedroom a second-story bedroom window
Unless it's a bad. I'm so sorry. I digger. I am so sorry you guys but anyway
So often people see their friends do well and instead of just being so proud for their friends and giving them support and backing them
they feel some kind of way and
Either they secretly or openly start looking into doing
What the friend does so that they can be great too and it's never a success. You know why?
That's not your path. That's your friends path
You're fake friend kind of if you're really envious, but that's your friends path
You've got to know what you're doing is really what your purpose to do
You really got to know it and when you start seeing
Things going wrong one thing after another after another don't get upset stand back
It ask God
Is this the road I'm supposed to be on is this the route I'm supposed to be taking
Maybe he is trying to teach you about adversity. Maybe everything in your life has been so smooth and easy
He wants you to grow
And learn patience
He wants you to learn that everything doesn't go right the first time so you're not disappointed down the line
Maybe that's it or maybe you're just on the wrong path altogether
Maybe you're on your way from Missouri
To Las Vegas and you were supposed to be on your way from Missouri to Virginia. You're just going the totally wrong
direction
Along that line, let me say this
Sometimes you get an answer and it's just not the answer you want. I've been there
Don't be surprised when you fight that answer and you go your own way if you see yourself
Several years down the line on the path right back to where you didn't want to go
You cannot outrun your purpose
I'm pretty fast. I'm 53 and I could still beat my eight-year-old granddaughter
And a race, you know, I could probably beat a lot of y'all too, but I'm still pretty fast
I really am I can I can book I can get it up and go
But I cannot outrun that purpose
Did I have marathon last year this year? I'm only gonna run 10 miles
Still it'll be sitting there waiting on me when I hit the finish line
You know why?
Your purpose is just that it's your purpose
Even if you don't pick it up and follow it
That just means you didn't do really what God
Deemed for you to do what he placed you on this earth to do what he blessed you to do and
If you don't believe in God, that's okay too. It's okay
But that doesn't mean that you can do any and everything that you think about
There are just things you're really really good at
Stick to them stick to them and if those things are hurting other people
You're never gonna win
You're never gonna win. This is a very short podcast and I did this one because
Someone said to me that they are not able they cannot figure out
Why what they're doing is not coming to fruition
No matter what they're doing and how hard they're working in the the relationships every relationship
They build around this purpose falls through
Either the people don't bother with her anymore
She don't bother with them anymore or she feels like they're trying to steal her ideas or whatever and nothing is
panning through and she's been at it for six years and
I said
Maybe you're going the wrong direction. Maybe that's not your purpose at all and we had a long talk about it and
She thought about some things and she was like, maybe you're right. I have a friend
Not gonna mention her either but
For years and years and years her son wanted to be a rapper, you know, that was where his heart was and
He's just been in a funk. He's been in a funk
You know, he's not happy with the way things are going and all of a sudden he
Changed his purpose
his in his mind because his purpose never changed and I
Honestly can see nothing but happiness coming into his life now. I know his mom's pleased
I know his sister's pleased. I know his cousin's pleased. I know his dad's pleased
So I see nothing but greatness coming because when she told me I
Felt it. I
Was like, yes
Yes, he's gonna find a lot of happiness here
So you guys when you're going one route and things just keep falling apart and falling apart and falling apart
You think that this is your forever dream job or dream purpose. Maybe you're wrong
Rethink pray wait be patient
