Hello, Hello, Hello, welcome, Welcome to Inspiration Moments. I'm your
host Lynn Austin. On today's show, we are going to
do an exciting reading from betting on me dot com
our website, and this one is titled beast Mode. It's
important for this time kind of set things up. You know,
(00:23):
so many times in life we are faced with challenges
and we're not sure or how. This kind of puts
some substance behind why you were made to do what
it is you do. Beast mode dictionary dot com says
beast mode is a state of performing something, especially difficult activities,
(00:45):
with extreme power, skill and determination. Being in beast mode,
as doctor Eric Thomas a k a e. T. Often says,
it doesn't matter if you wake up a gazelle or
a lion. What matters is that you understand the problem
you're faced with and be a beast at being it
(01:06):
or achieving it self inspired. I am admittedly a morning person.
When I wake most days, I'm inspired and incredibly powerful
during those early hours. Some days I even feel invincible.
In the hours typically between four thirty am and six am,
(01:30):
I say my morning prayers or as I believe, my
early and often conversation with God. I may reflect on
the previous day and all that I know to expect
for the day ahead of me. It's in those hours
that I can also do my best planning. I am
self inspired to achieve all that I've set out to accomplish.
(01:54):
I love the mornings. Everything is waking and coming to
life in those early hours. This chronically introverted morning person
is laser focused and self inspired to get her done
beast mode. But then interruption. Six o'clock rolls around and others,
(02:17):
you know, those not so mourning people begin to stir
and awake. By eight there is noise and busyness all around.
These days, I will have arrived at the office, whether
physically or remotely, and ready for my day. My flow
is interrupted, But in beast mode, you don't have the
(02:38):
option to stop, quit, lose focus. If you do, you
become prey to the predator. Now, while the predator could
be that person in the office that does that thing,
or is that person who does whatever, But in reality,
(02:59):
the predator is really complacency, settling going with the flow,
losing focus, or being distracted, anything that will get you
out of position to do your thing, accomplish your goal
be smoked in the wild, you become prey and susceptible
(03:23):
to being hunted for food or as food. Of course,
no one is going to eat you in a literal sense,
at least I hope not. But figuratively you lose. Interruptions
are going to happen. Be prepared and plan for them,
(03:44):
and remain in beast mode for the win. Survival of
the Fittest. I don't know that I believe there can
only be one winner, nor do I ultimately believe that
to have a winner you have to have a loser.
Don't get me wrong. I do find joy in winning,
(04:07):
and the competitor in me totally loves it. Whenever I win.
I am referring to mental fitness and stamina to endure
the struggle it takes to win. You may very well
experienced nos rejections, get passed over, overlooked, cheated on, lied to, abused, betrayed,
(04:33):
or whatever. Any all or most of these things can happen.
You have to decide are you going to live as
prey or live in beast mode. In Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory,
the survival of the fittest describes a natural selection of survival,
(04:54):
adapting to avoid extinction. This is where I believe life
happens for you has its greatest strength. So life happens
for you. Life happens for you to live and be
stmow Well, what I really say is life happens for you,
(05:15):
not to you. To live your purpose. In beast mode,
you're at the height of all that you were created
to do. Without a doubt, no one on earth is
more equipped to be you than you at any point
in life. Your gifts are unique and were given to
you so that you can have the impact on the world.
(05:38):
Armed with your unique gifts and experiences, you've gone through
the happens for you part. You are in beast mode.
That is the point where you will excel, grow, influence, prosper.
Challenges will come, but understand that only add to your
(06:01):
gift in the form of experiences that allow you to
be better at being you and equipped with what you
need to get it done. No one can take anything
from you that is intended for you, but you may
have to fight for it. You may have to be
in beast mode to demonstrate your deserving of what you desire.
(06:26):
You may have to use those unique gifts you possess
to make a difference in the world in the way
that only you can remember. Life happens for you, So
live your purpose. Back includes today's show. I hope you

touched you or have influenced you. So again, connect with
