Welcome to Lebanon , purpose On Purpose . I'm

0:06

your host , jamie Hansel , and welcome

0:08

to my podcast . I'm

0:27

your favorite host , jamie Hansel

0:29

, and I'm super excited to dive into today's episode

0:31

. Before we start , of course

0:33

, housekeeping rules go ahead and follow us

0:35

on Instagram and Facebook and

0:43

follow us on YouTube . Today

0:47

I wanted to talk about something that was actually a personal situation

0:49

for me this week . I

0:51

was kind of feeling a little bit doubtful , but then myself

0:53

I felt like I had a lot of my plate , that it

0:55

was very hard for me to kind of

0:58

work through the things I used to get done . My to-do

1:00

list was very long , I didn't

1:02

have enough time and I still felt

1:04

like I wasn't doing what I needed to

1:06

do . I was just kind of sitting

1:09

there and talking to my husband and he

1:11

was just pretty much saying like you guys just push through

1:13

, you gotta push through . I'm

1:15

like , wow , it's such a simple comment

1:18

or a simple statement , but it's

1:20

so powerful , especially when it comes to

1:22

living on purpose . You

1:24

have to push through your purpose . Sometimes

1:26

it's not always very simple . It's

1:28

not always sunshine and rainbows for you

1:30

to just go through with your purpose . Sometimes

1:33

you really have to sit and assess that

1:35

, okay , it may not be working right now for

1:37

me , but I have to push through to get to the next day

1:39

and I feel like that was just super

1:41

inspiring for me , because it

1:44

was hard for me to sit there

1:46

and understand that , yeah , it's not always

1:48

going to be great , but you still have to push through

1:50

and make yourself available to live in your purpose on

1:52

purpose . You're not able to just

1:55

sit there and just wallow on whatever is

1:57

going on , because the more you sit there and

1:59

the more you sit there and think about

2:01

all the things that's going wrong , all the time you don't

2:03

have or the situations

2:05

that you did not do correctly or it didn't

2:07

turn out the way you wanted to , the

2:10

more you sit and think about those things

2:12

, the less time you have to actually

2:14

do what's purposeful for you or to live in

2:16

your purpose on purpose . So

2:18

I really felt like this week my

2:20

episode is kind of talking to myself first

2:22

and like I always tell you guys I'm

2:25

always teaching myself first and then I'm giving

2:27

it to y'all . I'm not going to give you guys

2:29

anything that I don't know what

2:32

I'm talking about or I never use it myself

2:34

. I feel like it's very important , especially

2:36

as podcast hosts , for us to really

2:39

not just give

2:42

you guys what we're talking about , but actually we're

2:44

going to take what it is so , actually taking

2:46

it in for ourselves , giving it out to you

2:48

guys and doing it that way . Now , when

2:50

it comes to pushing through your purpose , you might

2:52

say , jamie , well , okay , it's easier

2:54

said than done . You can easily say , oh

2:57

, just push through your purpose and that's that . How

2:59

can I do that ? It's okay , because I got some

3:01

points for y'all this week when

3:03

I was going through everything that I was going through and I was

3:05

trying to figure out , okay , well , how am I going to do this

3:07

? Because I'm really stuck right now . I

3:09

really feel like I don't want to do anything , just for

3:12

the simple fact that everything is not really working

3:14

how I need it to do , how I need

3:16

it to be . And so I was really sitting there trying

3:18

to think I'm like , okay , I know I want to teach

3:20

this to my viewers , I want to give

3:22

them this information , but I need to give them

3:24

something that's long lasting , something that they can

3:26

hold on to , and come back

3:29

and think about it and say , okay , well , jamie said we

3:31

got to push through our purpose , but how do we do that ? How do

3:33

we do that ? So the first thing is first is that you

3:35

have to cultivate a positive mentality

3:37

. Super important Like

3:39

this is the number one . Why I made it

3:42

number one ? Because having a positive

3:44

mentality or a positive mindset is

3:46

so important , because the more positive

3:48

that you are , the more positivity

3:50

is going to just breathe into your life , the more

3:52

good things is going to happen to you . Why

3:55

? Because you are choosing to look at the glass

3:57

half full instead of half

3:59

empty . If you're always looking at half empty

4:01

, half empty , half empty , you're going to start

4:03

to see that you're going to see emptiness

4:06

all around you all the time . Why ? Because

4:08

you're choosing to not have a positive mentality

4:10

about your life and about your purpose or

4:13

about what you're doing . You have to be able

4:15

to look at the positive side of things

4:17

and understand that if

4:19

I give myself this positive mentality that

4:21

I know , things are going to work out for me . Why

4:24

? Because I'm choosing , I'm

4:26

being intentional and I'm being

4:28

purposeful when it comes to pushing through

4:30

and to going through the hard times or even just

4:32

the frustrating times . It may not always be very

4:34

difficult , but sometimes we just get frustrated

4:37

. It's not necessarily that a whole bunch of bad

4:39

things are happening , but you're just sitting there

4:41

and , like dang , I'm really frustrated , I'm

4:43

tired , I'm overwhelmed , I'm overstimulated

4:45

. It does not always mean that all hell is

4:47

breaking music in life . It just seems like

4:50

, okay , I just need a break , I'm just tired

4:52

, I feel like I'm overextending

4:54

myself . You know , I'm just doing a lot with

4:56

my family , I'm doing a lot with my friends , or even

4:58

just a lot for myself . It

5:00

just gets tired sometimes , but you still

5:02

have to create that positive mentality to

5:05

make sure that you're going through the things

5:07

and you're pushing through your purpose . Now

5:09

, next thing that you need to do in order

5:11

to push through your purpose is

5:13

celebrating your small wins . Now

5:15

, I feel like this is kind of like a cliche , because everyone's

5:18

always like celebrate the small wins , celebrate the small

5:20

wins . But this is very important when it

5:22

comes to pushing through your purpose . When

5:24

you're going through those times and you're frustrated , you're

5:26

tired , you're overwhelmed , whatever

5:28

the case may be , celebrating

5:31

those small wins are so important

5:33

because it just gives you a new

5:35

sense of motivation and it keeps

5:37

you inspired If you're constantly saying

5:39

good job , girl , you did that . You put out that episode

5:41

on time . I'm so proud of you . That's

5:43

just a great thing . Somebody else may see it as

5:45

small . You may see it as small because

5:48

if you're anything like me , your

5:50

to-do list is probably very hefty

5:52

every day . Every day is a

5:55

long list of things . Sometimes

5:57

you can get not

5:59

necessarily overwhelmed , but you

6:01

can kind of just get overshadowed

6:03

by all the things that you need to do

6:05

. When you do complete a

6:07

couple of things on there , you're like , yeah , I did that

6:09

, but I still have 10 things to do . That's

6:12

where we're going wrong . We're not , of course

6:14

, doing the positive mentality , but celebrating

6:16

those small wins . It's like , girl , yeah

6:18

, you may have not been the 15 things , but

6:20

you did seven and that's a big deal

6:22

because you were multitasking all day

6:24

. Good job , and that , right there

6:27

, celebrating that small win for yourself , you're

6:29

saying , wow , I'm really growing . Two

6:31

days ago , when we did three things on my list , today

6:34

I did seven . It's helping you focus

6:36

on your growth . You're not focusing on anything

6:38

else other than we are getting the job

6:40

done , and that's what we're going to keep doing . Granted

6:43

, we're going to always push ourselves to

6:45

do more and to be better . I'm not saying

6:47

to keep yourself stagnant . However

6:49

, make sure you're celebrating in between , the

6:51

little things that you're completing

6:53

, because that's what's going to keep you motivated

6:55

, that's what's going to keep you inspired . And

6:58

, last but not least , you have to make sure

7:00

you're seeking support when it comes

7:02

to pushing through your purpose . Having

7:04

a support system is very important . I know

7:07

that people say it takes a village when it comes to raising

7:09

a child and things like that , but honestly , as an

7:11

adult , it still takes a village . You

7:13

still need people around you that are supporting

7:15

you and your purpose , not just you as

7:18

a person , but the things that you're trying to

7:20

do in your life , the things that you feel

7:22

like destined to do or that you

7:24

have calling or a calling on

7:26

your life to do . They have to be there

7:28

to support you and that you and

7:30

your purpose . And I believe that it

7:32

takes a village still , if they may not be raising

7:35

you per se , but it takes a village

7:37

to keep you motivated sometimes . Sometimes

7:39

you may not feel like you are

7:41

inspired to do whatever . You may not feel

7:43

like you want to push through to do whatever

7:46

, but that village that you have those people

7:48

in your circle so that , hey , I noticed you haven't

7:50

put an episode out in a while . What's

7:52

going on ? You feeling okay ? Like , what's

7:55

going on ? Like , do you not have the time ? Do you need my

7:57

help ? Do you need my assistance ? What's

7:59

lacking ? What's the disconnect ? Oh , I see

8:01

you're at your job . You've been there for a minute . You ever

8:03

talk about you trying to ? You know , apply

8:05

for no promotions or anything like that . What's going on ? How

8:07

is it Like ? Do you see yourself there

8:10

in two , three , five years ? Those

8:12

are the type of people you need , that

8:14

you are seeking that support from . You

8:16

don't need the people that's constantly like oh

8:18

girl , no , that's bad or no , just

8:21

forget that , just start this , just do this , and they're

8:23

not holding you accountable for the things that

8:25

you want to do or your purposes on

8:27

your life , you trying to live in your purpose

8:29

, you being intentional . It may not be all

8:31

together right now , but you need people

8:33

that are able to hold you accountable and

8:36

to say , hey , you said you wanted to do this

8:38

, but you're doing this . These

8:40

two things are not lining up , or you are

8:42

doing this , this is lining up with that

8:45

. However , what else can we do

8:47

to kind of push this ? How

8:49

are we gonna get this to the next level

8:51

? Do we need help from me ? Do you need help

8:53

from my resources ? Do you need to sit

8:56

and talk it out ? If you're anything like me , my

8:58

brain is jumbled up all the time . I

9:01

have a million and one things to do , million

9:03

and one things that I wanna say , a million and one things

9:05

I'm thinking about . And even talking like

9:07

this , I have to like calm my ideas

9:09

down and calm my brain down , because sometimes

9:11

I'm talking and I'm talking and things

9:14

are popping up in my head . I'm like , oh , that's good

9:16

, that's good . It may not be for right now , but

9:18

it might be for the future . But you need

9:20

to sometimes sit down and just have a little

9:22

power with somebody . But those are the people

9:24

that you need to seek support from , because if

9:26

you are trying to push through your purpose

9:28

in those things that are very difficult

9:31

for you to experience right now , sometimes

9:33

you having support from other people will

9:36

help you get through those things . You

9:39

having the support from those other people will help you

9:41

push through your purpose . It may not be easy

9:43

, but they're there to help

9:45

you and lean on you Now , or you lean

9:48

on them Now . I will say , if

9:50

you do seek support to try to be that

9:52

same support for whoever it is . Also

9:54

, we like to

9:56

sometimes get

9:58

or receive , receive receive from people , but it's

10:00

important too that you're there and available for

10:02

when they need you , for whatever it is

10:05

and whatever , whatever capacity that you can help

10:07

them in . Make sure that you're there for your people

10:09

too . I know that's like a little segue

10:11

to something else , but I just wanted to let people know

10:13

that as you're seeking support , make sure

10:15

you're also support for other people , because everybody

10:18

needs somebody . I know sometimes

10:20

we don't like to call on people

10:22

or ask people , but it's not always

10:24

something monetary . It can just be an emotional

10:27

support . It can be a physical support

10:29

Like we okay , we , let's go get a coffee every month

10:31

or once a week or whatever . Pushing

10:33

through your purpose is an important part

10:36

of your journey . This is something that

10:38

is the inevitable . This is something

10:40

that you cannot avoid . It's not gonna

10:42

always be great . It's not gonna always be the perfect

10:44

thing . You living your purpose is , honestly

10:47

, probably gonna be more difficult before . It's easier

10:50

or even simpler . So the thing

10:52

is , you have to understand how

10:54

to push through your purpose , because it's something

10:56

that you cannot get over . This is not

10:58

something you can just speed through . This is

11:00

not something that you can finagle or

11:03

finesse your way through . You have to be able

11:05

to sit down and assess how

11:07

you can create or cultivate that positive

11:10

mentality , how you're gonna seek support

11:12

from different people and how you're just going

11:14

to do the things that you need to do

11:16

to push through your purpose . That's why we're

11:18

here today . I really felt like it helped

11:20

me a lot this week and I'm sure it's

11:22

gonna help me this coming a week , because I have a lot of things

11:25

to do . March is a very busy week or

11:28

busy month , but

11:30

it's just something that we just have to

11:32

learn and it's very important because it helps you

11:34

to stay determined and

11:36

live a purposeful life , and that's why we're

11:38

here . When I created this podcast

11:41

, I felt like I needed , not

11:43

necessarily a new meaning for life , but

11:45

just something that I felt like

11:48

I was called to do , and it was really

11:50

hard for me to do it because I'm like I'm gonna

11:52

die . You want me

11:54

to do a podcast teaching people how to live

11:56

in their purpose on purpose . Am

11:59

I even doing that ? I don't know . What does

12:01

that look like ? He

12:03

literally said what makes it so special

12:05

is because you're doing it with them . This

12:08

is not something that you know

12:10

. Some people just say you like all these different things

12:12

in the store , like , oh , this is this type of diet , like do this

12:14

, and they didn't even ever even did that diet

12:16

, it's just something that sells . Or whatever the case

12:18

of people do in the gym all the time oh yeah

12:21

, you know , I could train , you , know and stuff

12:23

, but they didn't do that to get there

12:25

. They did something else and it's just like something

12:27

where God is just telling me like

12:29

it's okay to grow with them , it's okay

12:32

to , as you receive

12:34

different wisdoms and chip

12:36

or whatever , you're able to pour that into

12:38

other people , because it's all about helping

12:41

everybody . It's all about helping people live

12:43

in their purpose on purpose , just like I am and

12:45

like I said , it's always . It's a day-to-day journey

12:47

for me . I don't know about y'all , I might

12:50

have it all together , but I know I don't

12:52

. So for me , this is

12:54

something that helps me . Help

12:56

you , that also helps me . I

12:58

love helping people , but I also like

13:00

helping myself , because the more I help myself , the

13:03

more I can help other people , and that's the whole point

13:05

and I hope that as you look at these videos

13:07

or as you listen to this podcast

13:09

, you are always thinking like

13:12

who can I send this to ? Who can I give

13:14

this information to ? Because we're living

13:16

in our purpose on purpose around here . So I want

13:18

to make sure that they know that they can

13:20

push through their purpose when it gets difficult and it

13:22

gets tiresome and it gets overwhelming

13:25

and overstimulating , that I can

13:28

give them information to help them

13:30

the next time . And then the next time they go through

13:32

and they see someone else in their support

13:34

system hey , here's that , more information

13:36

. This is what I learned , this is what this is

13:38

, this is what I looked up and that's always

13:41

the point . That's always the goal is always

13:43

to help somebody else . I believe

13:46

I was at Bistar when I worked there

13:49

and we had some type

13:51

of presentation and I kind of gave this analogy

13:53

about . Our

13:55

lives are kind of like a relay race . We

13:58

get information

14:00

, we learn different things , we have to listen cool but

14:02

then when it's time to pass that information

14:04

along , we pass that the time to the next person

14:06

. Then they take our front and they go and sometimes

14:09

they come back around and give it back to you and

14:11

you run or whatever . Sometimes you may never get

14:13

it again , but the whole point is

14:15

that you get something not just

14:17

for yourself , but to give it to somebody else so they

14:20

can run on and they can do what

14:22

they need to do in their lives . Do what they were called

14:24

to do , and that's the whole point . So

14:26

I know this episode was not super , super long

14:28

today , y'all , but , like I said , I am all about

14:30

meaningful and purposeful

14:32

connections , but

14:35

also information , knowledge and names

14:37

like that , so I would never try to stretch

14:39

something more than what it is . I feel like

14:41

this really helped me this week and I hope it helps

14:43

you . So I also want to just tell
