Today, my mind has been on fire!

I was intrigued by an opportunity to write a series for a fast-growing audio platform. I’m a huge fan of the app myself — but I’d never imagined writing for them.

Still, the nudges kept coming.
And I thought, “I could really use that money.”

But there was one thing I hadn’t thought about.

I had my series title, a concept, the whole vibe in mind — ready to dive in.
Then my friend showed up.
Actually… my Father.

Always tapping me on the shoulder, gently saying:
“Stop. Breathe. Slow down.”

He whispered, “Why don’t you do a little research? You Google everything else. Why not this?”

He was right.
So I did.

And whew — what an eye-opener.

Let me just say: I love Reddit.
There’s always a conversation where real people share real stuff. I found a thread talking about the pay model. Writers sharing how they were getting a flat, capped payment — while the platform potentially makes millions from their stories.

And I thought…

Why am I always lowballing myself?
Why do I keep accepting the minimum — just because I need something?

Aim. Higher.

That’s what I’m doing now.

Trusting myself.
Trusting that my Father knows I’m capable of more — and worthy of more.

No more settling.
Not just because I’m scared I might fail.
Not because I don’t think I deserve better.

I do.
And so do you.

Aim high — and see how far into the sky you can reach.

Lovingly,
