This is episode three the ball Roland. My name is
Samaia Marie and this is chatting with Samaya. This is
episode three and the title of this show is called
Can't Rush Progress. It's been it's been some days since
(01:13):
I posted, but this should be out either Sunday or Monday.
I'm recording this late on Saturday. Sabbath just passed today.
It's it's dark now, it's sundown. But yes, let's just
(01:34):
jump right into it. I hope you all are having
a blessed day night noon when whenever you get this, yes,
let's just jump right into it. Stop comparisons and self doubt.
So with this episode, I wanted to touch on this
because this is something that I've struggled with. Personally with comparison,
(01:56):
with rushing my progress. And oh and also I have
this quote that I've seen it's progressed, not perfection. And
that quote really stuck out to me when I first
saw it because for so long I've rushed my progress
for so long, excuse me, for so long I made
(02:21):
it a point to, oh, let me get to where
this person is at, or oh, I want what this
person has covetousness basically, oh I want what they have.
I want what they have. But the most high makes
it abundantly clearing his word to not covet to not
want what other people have to and also to focus
(02:47):
on your own measure, to focus on that. I'll touch
on those scriptures, but the first topic I want to
get into is stop comparisons and self doubt and comparison
is I I believe the quote goes like this, comparison
is a destiny Well, this is this is my own
(03:09):
personal quote. Comparison is a destiny killer. I just came
up with that. That that just wrung in my head.
Comparison is a destiny killer. Because our journeys, spiritual journeys,
natural journeys, you know, our journeys are unique to us.
And when we compare, we take the uniqueness. We we
(03:34):
first and foremost, cause our journeys aren't is going to
be our journey regardless. But when we compare, we're looking
at somebody else's journey and not our own. We're we're
focusing on somebody else's progress or somebody else's highlights, cause
people don't show everything. We're looking at other people's stories
(03:56):
and we're not looking at our own. And that the
more attention you take off of your journey and your
progress and your destiny, the more you're not working on it,
the more you're not focused on it, and the more
you're rushing it. But but you're not doing anything in
a sense, you're rushing it, but you're not doing anything
(04:18):
or you're trying to do what another person is doing,
and that can alter it. Well, our destiny is our destiny.
But the work that you put in that can alter
and actually not alter, excuse me, that can that can
(04:38):
delay it, That can delay your destiny and your goals
and dreams. And comparison is false. Comparison is false, it's fake.
You don't know the struggle that another person has been through.
You don't know what the most high has used in
(04:58):
that person's life to build their unique destiny, their unique
goals and dreams themselves. You never know, and everybody is different.
Everybody needs different things. There may come a day, there
may come a time where we need similar things, but
(05:20):
everybody needs different things for their success for not just
their for their well, for their success, for their health,
for themselves and rushing and comparing yourself to somebody else
(05:41):
is not good for you. And I'm here to tell
you as a podcaster, as somebody who has a real
life outside of this microphone. Okay that I've been there.
I'm still trying to get myself out of there in
certain areas. But it is not good to compare yourself
and to call and to look at somebody else, and
(06:06):
to look at somebody else and to like, oh, I
wish I was where they are, or I wish I
was doing what they're doing. Now you can be now.
Inspiration definitely plays a part because it can be inspired
by somebody. But to want the exact same results, to
want the result that somebody else has, that's very dangerous.
(06:28):
To just seek out somebody else's life, seek out what
somebody else has, And the most high warns us about
that in his word, even in Exodus chapter twenty, verse seventeen,
it talks about how we shall not covet, and coveting
means to want to have something very much, especially something
(06:49):
that belongs to someone else. That's what coveting means. And
when we covet, we don't focus on what the Lord
has for us, which is which is how, which is
why coveting so is so very dangerous because the Most
High has so much in store for us individually. He
(07:10):
has much in store for us as a whole and individually,
but I'm gonna focus on individually here. The Most High
has so much in store for his children individually. And
when we're so focused on what somebody else has or
somebody else is doing, we're not focused on the Lord's
hand and what he's providing, what he's providing for us
(07:33):
for our season of life or a particular season or
seasons of life. We're so focused on what he's doing
for somebody else. And that's why that can be very dangerous.
And it takes our attention off the Lord and off
(07:55):
of his face in his hand, and it takes us
to someone else. And I'm sure now I'm not gonna
play preacher here. Well, this is my platform, so you know,
let me just spill it real. You know, it kind
(08:17):
of goes into idolatry in a sense because it it
l we're looking at somebody else, We're looking at what
somebody else has, and not looking at the Lord's face
in his hand for what he desires to bring in
our lives personally, so so yeah, and even personally, how
(08:41):
this has affected me, This has affected me on so
many levels. It has brought such great stress personally and
it brings a lot of stress. It has brought me
a lot of stress. Well, it has tarnished my self
esteeming areas where it's been built up by the Lord hallelujah.
But comparison has made me waste a lot of time
(09:08):
with thinking that, oh, what I'm doing isn't good enough,
or what I'm planning on doing isn't isn't worthy enough,
what I'm doing isn't worthy, or it's not good enough,
when in all, actuality is just different. It's different to
how to the way that people are doing things, or
(09:32):
it's different to how to how something looks, you know,
just the general on a general basis, Like a lot
of times something isn't bad A lot of times, it's
just different. And when we go into comparison and comparing ourselves,
we don't realize that what you're doing isn't bad, but
(09:53):
what your your endeavors, your plans, even what you're investing in,
it's not. It's not bad, it's not terrible, it's not off.
It's just different than who you're so studying, who you're studying,
and who you're focusing on, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah,
(10:14):
those those were some of the effects that comparing myself
had on me. And how now looking back, I really,
I really would tell myself to focus on yourself and
to also this is another thing, how I would meddle
(10:37):
a lot. I would meddle a lot and what other
people have and other people who are not in my
life anymore, we're doing. I recently I had to get
out of this. I would meddle and see, oh, what
does this person look like now, or what they're doing
or whatever they're doing now, or or who are they
(10:57):
with now or whatever whatever the hell whatever. But even
I had to take a step back and say, like this,
this will open the door to comparison, This will open
the door to so many things that I'm trying to
break free from with me, keep meddling, with meddling with
(11:20):
people who whose business is none of my concern really,
and who would who probably wouldn't spit on me if
I was on fire. Not to laugh at that, but
you know, to be truthful whose business is none of
my concern and who I separated from for personal reasons
(11:46):
which I won't get too deep into that, but you know,
for me to not meddle, and for me to focus
on myself and to focus on my healing and what
the Lord has for me, so yeah, and to also
not rush my progress and to not constantly look at
somebody else's success or what somebody else is doing and
(12:07):
compare myself like, oh, I need to do what they're
doing when my journey is completely different from theirs, and
that is okay. And even what has helped me when
it comes to that is journaling about first and foremost,
praying about it, praying that the Lord allows me to
(12:27):
focus on him first and foremost, and to focus on
what he has for me instead of focusing on other people,
and to keep me away from meddling and covenousness and
covening other people's lives and what they have. Secondly, journaling,
also worship, of course, studying his word, even talking it out,
(12:52):
talking it out with I talk to the people in
my life, but talking it out with a therapist or
talking it out with the people in your life. Even
I talk about it in therapy as well. Currently I
talk about it and talk about other things, like there's
(13:14):
a lot of things I touch on, but how I've
wanted to be where other people are at, and how
even I had to remind myself that my journey is
my own journey, and how these things will play a
part in how you view yourself and how you look
(13:35):
at yourself and how you see yourself. And these those
are the things that I implemented, you know, praying, reading
the word, journaling, worship, make it even making my life
worship to the Father, doing more with my life, be
(13:55):
more active in my life, you know, you know, working
on those things that you know I wanted to work on.
These are just these are just certain things personally that
I've done to take a step back into you know.
And even growing in self awareness is another thing, you know,
(14:17):
how the Bible says examining yourself to see if you're
in the faith, even examining yourself, to see those parts
of you that need that need fixing, that need that
need changing. And one of those things was me brushing
my progress and me having having so much of having
(14:42):
so much comparison and comparing myself when there's no point.
Everybody's a different person, everybody's different. Like I said, we
may have similarities, but everything's different. And we may have similarities,
(15:02):
excuse me, we may have similarities, but most of it
is different. And I wanted to look in scripture for this.
I looked up some scriptures on comparison for this episode.
(15:23):
You know, I love to pull out of the word okay.
Second Corinthians, chapter ten, verse twelve to thirteen. All right,
Second Corinthians, Chapter ten, verse twelve to thirteen. For we
dare not make ourselves of the number or compare ourselves
(15:47):
with some that commend themselves. But they measuring themselves by
themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. But
we will not boast of things without our measure, but
according to the measure of the rule which God has
distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
(16:13):
Right in Galatians five, twenty five, twenty six. If we
live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vanglory, provoking one another,
envying one another. And that's another thing. Sometimes it can
go from it can It can be envious. It can
(16:35):
be envy in that covetousness as well, and even rushing
our own progress to try to rush and be somebody else.
It can it can be, It can covetousness. Coveting can
carry a lot of spirits with it. It can carry
and one of those things, can you know, can be
envied And and that discon and that lack of contentment
(17:04):
and just wanting for someone else's things is where a
lot of rushing can come from. Is where rush is
where being in that state of rushing yourself can come from.
And what I would say is chill out, cool it,
(17:26):
and really just take a step back and pray on,
Lord God, show me what you have for me, or
allow me to be excited for what you have for me,
and how unique that is to my plan and to
(17:48):
my walk in life. And allow me to set this
person's life down, and Lord God, allow me to pick
my own life up. Allow me to pick my own
things up, blows out and even I'm praying as I'm
talking to you guys, because this was something that I
(18:09):
that I struggled with and some remnants still still struggling with.
This is why I say it's progress, not perfection. And
even the most High the Father takes us on a journey.
It's always a journey to repentance. It's now. There's there's
times where we ace things, where we have it in
(18:31):
the bag, and there's times where you know, we fall,
we mess up, but we get up, you know. And
that's our personal life with the most sigh, that's our
personal journey with the Father. And that doesn't mean that
we're worthless or we're not worth anything. That just means
(18:51):
that we're different. And that's okay. Now, this might be
a very short This might be a very short episode
because I really didn't have much just side. I just
wanted to bring some encouragement on the microphone, on the
mic and say like, hey, it's okay. You don't have
(19:13):
to rush yourself. You know, you can push yourself, but
also give yourself that rest, that time and that space
to jot down and to think before you act. That's
one thing I'm also working on to think before you act.
And also the theme of this of this message to
(19:34):
not rush yourself, to allow everything to be taken, and
allow everything to be taken. And it's in a pace
where it's journey, it's the journey. Pace where it's a journey,
it's it's a time where you have your your journey
(19:54):
has breathing room to be itself. Like even in therapy, Okay,
in in this in therapy, one of the workers there
was like, you know, you're in a butter you're in
a butterfly. You know, you're like a butterfly, or you're
(20:16):
like a caterpillar. It's a whole journey that a caterpillar
takes before it's a butterfly. And and even there's there's
a whole journey before it's a caterpillar. Like we're all
on different parts of our journey. You know, you may
(20:38):
be in your caterpillar stage looking at this beautiful butterfly like, oh,
you know, it's flying, it's you know, it's it's flapping
its wings, it's doing this, it's doing that. But it
took time to get there. It took it took some
it took some things you know, to get there and
(20:59):
the same thing is happening for you. The same thing
will happen for you, but your wings will look different,
your spots will look different, every you know, your journey
is different. So yeah, and there's no such thing as
(21:20):
immediate change. There's no such thing as a median change.
It's all a process. And that's all I wanted to
really say. You know this just quick plug in. This
podcast was made to speak my mind and the truth
(21:42):
without limitation or censorship. But I really wanted to talk
about this because it's just it's an old to myself.
It's a quick, you know, quick little show. It's an
old to myself, and it's something to encourage you guys,
like I said, to bring encouragement on the mic and
to really say and to really talk about how hey,
(22:06):
you you know, you can't rush yourself. You have to
you have to give yourselves that time, give yourself that
grace and that understanding that hey, I'm not where I
want to be, but I'm not where I used to be.
I may not be where I want to be, but
I'm not where I used to be. And to really
(22:29):
worship the Father and to thank the Most High for
that and through that, like, hey, this is something that
that is praise worthy. You know, the most Hidah is
worthy of his of his praise, praise do unto him.
But but yes, that was a quick little show. I
