Ep #115 Why Comparison, Fear, and Your Past Are Holding You Back

Welcome to another episode of Living Inside Out! This week, I’m diving deep into the concept of Greek and block logic—two contrasting ways of seeing and interpreting the world—and why embracing block logic can transform how you live, make decisions, and stay inspired.

 

I’ll also share five places not to draw inspiration from, and why relying on external sources like comparison, fear, or even your past can leave you stuck, frustrated, or chasing illusions. Instead, I’ll encourage you to shift your focus to an unseen but superior realm—your spiritual reality—where joy, peace, and vision remain steadfast, no matter what’s happening around you.

 

Toward the end of last year, I resolved to draw my inspiration from a deeper place: my spirit, God’s promises to me, and the vision of the future I’m stepping into. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to make that shift and share practical insights to help you make decisions that align with your purpose, rather than external pressures.

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1.The difference between Greek logic (linear cause and effect) and block logic (seemingly random events working together for good).

2.Why block logic can give you peace and confidence, even when life feels chaotic.

3.The five places to avoid drawing inspiration from:

•Comparison

•Fear

•Lack

•Pain

•The past

4.How to keep your focus on your spiritual reality and the vision God has placed in your heart.

Your joy, inspiration, and vision should come from within—from your spirit, the promises of God, and the future you’re stepping into. Circumstances might shift, but when you live from the inside out, your peace and purpose remain unshaken.
