A happy childhood gives us the strong core of confidence. Seen so many broken people due to unhappy homes. Nurture your children. Give them your time and attention and love. Don’t push your own experiences and expectations on them. Talk to them and treat them with respect.
OMG this is profound- I have seen this over and over again. A mother telling her child how horrible her own childhood was, and they should be grateful/feel pity for their mother, etc. This does NOT create a safe environment for their own children. And it makes them hate their grandparents!
You could be a motivational speaker Lisa. Your sincerity shines! I'm a breast cancer survivor and started carnivore almost a year ago. I feel & look my best ever. Definitely lucky!
I love your positivity, Lisa. Thank you for never making click bait “spilling tea” videos and instead focusing on uplifting content. It may not get as many views, but like you, I try to only let in the content that makes me feel good and not spend much time on drama or the news. Your videos always make me feel happy.
This was so on point Lisa!. This may sound crazy but I created the "lucky girl" life I wanted with intention. I was with a man for 13 years throughout my 30's and into my 40's. He was very negative and would criticize me constantly but we'd been together for so long and had bought a house so I stayed eventhough my mental health was declining. During this time I was also managing a company where my boss was very rude and I didn't have any vacation or time off for over 8 years. Something started to change in me and one day I up and left it all: my relationship, my home and my job; I just up and left! I found myself the cutest little studio where I lived alone for 1 year and was SO happy. After a year I decided I wanted love in my life again and one night (during a full moon lol!) I sat down, lit a candle and wrote a very concise list of exactly what I wanted my life to look like: A wonderful man who loved family and christmas and creating memories, a job that paid me well and allowed for a healthy work/life balance, a home with a million dollar view of the city and ocean. 2 weeks after I did this little "ritual", I met my husband. We've been together for 9 years (married for 5), I work at a wonderful place only 3 days a week which allows me 4 day weekends to go on getaways and to pursue my passion and hobbies and we live in a beautiful place with gorgeous views of the city, mountains and ocean. I believe that the reason I received this "luck" was because I promised myself that I would NOT settle for anything less than what I envisioned and when we treat ourselves with respect and only accept what we deserve, that's what we manifest. Love you Lisa. Hello from Vancouver canada
That's so funny. I was reading your comment and when you were describing where you live, I thought "bet it's Vancouver" and voila! There aren't that many places that tick all the boxes, city, ocean, mountains, and since I too live in Vancouver, I recognized it right away. Loved your comment, and am very happy for you that all turned out as you wished ☘
What an amazing story! Thanks for sharing. I did the same and spent my 30’s and 40’s with a negative husband and one day said that’s enough! Kicked him out and was jobless for months. I have turned it all around and now am much happier.
@@KarlinLaramy it was the scariest time of my life and now it’s the happiest time. Risk is scary but it’s important to bet on ourselves.. life is short
I am an academic librarian at a community college in NYC. Yesterday I spent about 25 minutes helping a student find calculus and chemistry textbooks books that she could borrow. She was pleasant, positive, upbeat, engaged in her courses, and energetic. She wore an Islamic head covering and her body was covered from head to toe with clothes and white boots on a 70 degree day. The only skin showing was her completely burned face and stubs for hands. Although, she did have two stubby fingers on her right hand which allowed her to turn the pages of the heavy books I held while she eagerly searched the table of contents. I think we could learn a lot from this woman.
Being “lucky” isn’t biblical. The Bible teaches us that we are loved and highly favored and that if we trust in God and accept Jesus as our savior we will live forever. Please be very clear in that.
@Danielle Woods yes, of course, I never say that word "lucky" because God is in control of everything. I was referring to loving yourself, others, being grateful, ect.
May all of us remember that Jesus loves us beyond understanding and His plans for our lives are far more beautiful than all we dream of. Let Him take the lead. Life on this earth is short but our soul is eternal. let's choose in which eternity we want to go and pray for the power and the will of the only God there will ever be. Bless you.
I resonate with what you’re saying. But luck has nothing to do with it. I strive to be thankful and grateful for what I’ve been given. If there’s more out there, I trust the Lord to open the doors for those things and keep an open mind to new ideas for it all and try new things. Stay away from negativity. Keep my mind free from negative thoughts, which isn’t easy for me. Not how I grew up. God bless you ❤
Lisa you have been such an inspiration for me the past few months. I recently turned 40, I have a lot of similarities to your life story and personality. Divorced young, second husband is much older than me, 2 kids, similar values, from the South. I love your life lessons videos, I think of you like a mentor and am so thankful for you. I’ve also started eating about 90% carnivore and seeing awesome results!!!
I’m 38 and this video touched me. See I was a lucky girl all my life until about 6 years ago. I became a mom and moved from London to Texas and I’ve been in the gutters mentally pretty much ever since. I’m fed up with myself feeling this way and ready to feel lucky again. Thank you Lisa ❤
Darling Svetlana, post-partum health problems are so under-treated. I've been there. Get help with the kids, and especially get some hormone balancing dietary advice. I didn't learn until a decade after having kids that your thyroid is one of the first things to suffer. Of course there's a lot of aspects to losing your identity, but nutrition is often the primary cause. Perhaps start with your protein? Kisses from London.
When I wake up in the morning I do the same routine I come downstairs check the weather grab my cup of coffee and do a ten minute guided meditation then I hit a five mile trail and practice gratitude for my loving spouse…my three grown children four grands and two greats and I genuinely feel like the lucky girl ❤
Your words are based on science: Neuroplasticity and I add in a TON of prayer. Thanks, Lisa😊❤. I do hope that more people become more humble these days, especially throughout social media. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your message today! We think alike and you are helping many of us with your channel. I'm 70 and applying for makeup artist positions and am being interviewed. Gratitude, willingness and reaching for a higher frequency of thinking.
Lisa, been watching you for 7 years now and as much as I loved you then I love you even more and have switched to learning so much from you! I've always heard you loud and clear when you speak off curating your life and you have grown into your dreams I know it! You have kept my perspective in check and positive vibes all the time! You are an amazing human being and it's a treat to be friends with you! You have so much to offer woman and girls heck every human being and don't forget how much you are loved!
I fought it for a long time, but going 100 percent carnivore has become the foundation and jumping off point for me to have a better life. At 54 I was completely tired and unmotivated. I was a vegan so I'm so glad that I was able to be open minded enough to try another way. I feel like a different person now--with the energy and motivation to dream again...to be joyful. It's difficult to be hopeful about the future when you feel bad all the time. I thank God for His faithfulness and answered prayers!!!
Wow you are amazing to go from vegan to carnivore! So happy you feel energy and vitality! I’m weaning off vegetarian and struggle with eating meat but trying to get more easy protein.
hard to consider myself "lucky" given I lost a child ...however, I am grateful for the things that I DO have in my life. Im blessed in many ways, and I keep looking forward and not backwards.
You are exactly right, Lisa! This is one of the main reasons I love your channel so much! You are a very positive person! I am the same way. It really comes down to the individual, & the choice to be grateful. For starters, I've always been grateful to be a woman who was born in the USA in a time when women have had more freedoms than ever! I'm grateful for the beautiful sunsets at night, & my tall glass of home brewed iced tea. I'm grateful for the sky full of stars & the beautiful moon over the mountains...I could go on & on! I know I'm a lucky girl!
Very interesting concept. I'd say that lucky is not tied to age, that progression is very rarely linear, and that sometimes saying we're lucky takes away from the efforts we put forth to remain positive, resilient, and confident with the assumption that the only way the good things came to us was by luck vs. intention.
BRAVO Lisa!!! I am 59 and couldn't agree more. I say celebrate menopause and be grateful for it. It is your new beginning! I have gone through menopause and have never felt better! Take that mindset and things will be easier!!!🤗
I truly believe that at the end of your life God will say”you had it all along…you just had to use it”. Great and very important video!! I agree with everything you said!! Thank you for such an important message!!!
Whoever is reading this, if you have a wonderful giving husband that puts you on a pedestal all the time....Don't forget to treat him this way also.Don't fall into "well he knows I love him".NO you need to show him, even if you are tired from the kids all day.When he gets home greet him with a clean home and hopefully dinner.I'm serious I know.I only say this to women that have extra caring men, husbands.The other guys can go take a flying leap that expect things.... "
True! I've got a lot of crap going on right now that I really have to deal with. Nothing to do with my man, but I have been letting it affect our relationship. Hmmm, time to love him up.❤
There is nothing lucky about happiness and success-it takes a lot of hard work and a positive attitude-as you advise. The phrase "Lucky Girl" should not be used-that implies it is out of our control/true "Luck" comes from within and everything else is just superficial.
Wow I’m the luckiest girl when I come here from a third world country ; just to live and the best country in the world ; plus all the rest is extra to me
Lisa, I always love watching your videos because you are such a positive person. But you are right, in order to achieve you need to put the work in! Don't sit around waiting for things to happen. Make them happen. Baby steps is fine.
It certainly helps that you had great parents that set you up for at least a good foundation as a person. Not everyone is that lucky and some were born in a family the opposite of yours.
My whole life changed at 50! Energy, positivity! God brings beautiful people in your path during hard times and yes parenting yourself is key. Great vid Lisa ❤
Lisa, I loved this so much❤. I know I'm a lucky girl and what you said really resonated with me. Two years ago my marriage fell apart when my husband left me for another woman. My life crumbled. But very shortly after that, I got a clear message in my head that said “This was meant to happen”. Even though it was hard to hear, I understand it now. I needed to grow and really learn to love myself. Now two years later, I feel empowered, happy, and vibrant. My next love has not arrived yet, but I KNOW, that is going to happen. And when I go on dates, I know I'm attractive and I feel magnetic. Like you Lisa, I love constantly learning and being appreciative of everything life has to offer. Love and light✨
I'm watching this for the second time and I have to say each time I learn something new. While I already know that I'm a lucky girl, this is a good reminder to appreciate everything. Today I reminded myself how lucky I am that my husband provides for me so well. Healthcare, vacations, a beautiful home. Lisa, thank you for these videos!
Lisa, I’ve been following you since day one. I am a year older than you, and have always felt I can relate. I just want you to know, this video, has been my favorite one! You have such a strong presence, and would love to see more of these types of videos where you sit down and talk about positivity, confidence, and reflection. Very well done, bravo! ❤
Oh Lisa, you make me feel like a very lucky girl to have found you. I have been watching your channel for 6 weeks now and you have helped me make changes in my diet and loose a whole stone in weight! I am SO grateful to you, I never imagined it would be so easy and that I could ever loose my cravings for food. It is a massive freedom to not even be thinking about it too much when I need to buy food. Like you, I am enjoying rib eye steak most days and not even thinking about the sweet food any more that has controlled me for most of my life. You are a joy to listen to and I love to read the positive comments from others you have helped. Thankyou thankyou thankyou so much! Sending love and best wishes from the UK xxx
This is glorious! Thank you for this video… I’ve been looking for something to help with positive affirmations and manifesting good things, but everything is a little woo woo. This is perfect. I’m in my 50s and I like to try to still live my life like I did when I was in my 20s… there is no reason this can’t be applied to those of us, 50 or older. Please keep doing what you do!!
I got so excited and pumped listening to you! Thank you for this video! I’m 59 and loving my life! I do what I can to look and feel my best. A positive attitude and being grateful for all my blessings makes me feel like a lucky girl!!!😊❤
Hey honey, again you open our eyes to facts we should already know, brilliantly. My momma taught me to be this way Lucky and positive at a tender age but through life's ups and downs I forget this is the way I truly feel. And Abraham, I.e. Ester Hicks reiterated this formula for success to me as I found myself at the lowest point in my life after my beloved husband and bf died in 2019, now i find your video a bouncing back board once more . not only does your carnivore videos motivate me to do better but I'm also going to implement this thought process into my daily living {more strongly} I can't thank you enough for being one of the best motivators and role models out there. I wish there were more TH-camrs and women in general out there giving WONDERFUL advice to the older and younger women alike. Were so lucky to have you!
I truly am a lucky girl ....by choice. My most difficult lesson was learning to see the TRUTH in people vs seeing the GOOD in people. This was a game changer for this lucky girl.❤ Thanks for this video!
Thank you for this Lisa! The last 5 years have been rough to say the least. I have been forcing myself to be positive in a very bad situation. I somehow scraped together a little here and there (my carnivore diet actually saves me a ton of money!) and over the last 3-4 years have scraped up enough to move to Wisconsin and escape from this situation, where I’ll be purchasing my own little house. I’m setting out, with only the things I need and nothing more, this Sunday! I’m so excited to see what life brings to this very blessed, very Lucky Girl! God Bless you! Your message is exactly what I need tonight 🥰🥰🥰
I was sitting here earlier today thinking about how more positive I could make my life and ur video came up on TH-cam just now and If that's not a sign that I needed to here this then I dont know what is! I've enjoyed ur channel for nearly a year now and it has really done my life some good! Thank u! ❤
I am so proud of you! Your real calling has emerged and you shared it and it has definitely helped me and supported me Thank you so much♥️♥️♥️keep em coming I saved this one and I'm gonna listen to it every day like a sermon in church!!! 🙏
Dang we got up this morning, made coffee and boom, our power went off. No idea why. So got my cell phone and watched Ms. Lisa. Thank you for keeping me sane this morning. LOL I have been watching these reality shows like the real estate one called Selling Sunset. Boy those people are unbelievably unhappy, going at each other. Even if one tries to be positive, another woman will pull them down. I even joined a Facebook group and find that just as negative. I need to dump that stuff. That stuff is toxic as all get out and unrealistic. I think I started to watch them because I was curious first about the houses but quickly found out that is not what is about at all. Anyway, it is so true to get rid of stuff like that, people who drag you down, negative thoughts. I know that is not always possible 100% of the time but it is worth it to try to do the best you can. I was a political junkie big time and gave that up long ago. I do stay informed but not 24/7. Interesting topic. Thanks for giving us all food for thought.
Lisa I love this , I thank God first I am lucky I am a wife to a wonderful husband , a mom of three grown children they have amazing spouses and I have 6 amazing smart beautiful grandchildren. I had the most amazing parents, and beautiful sisters. I am truly blessed . I am working on me and where my next path is I am 59 have taught preschool for 20 years, I decided to quit that profession two years ago. I have loved fashion my whole life, decorating, and so now I am on my next journey. Not sure where it will lead me but I know with Gods grace it will be what I am supposed to do. I love watching your videos you are so positive and sweet and confident.
Love, love, LOVE this video. So much wisdom and persistence showing up. Thanks for sharing all of these nuggets with us. You are so cute and encouraging! Appreciate you, girl! Keep it up.
❤ hey Lisa such a wise and life lesson video….so many wise words that people can take with the grace intended and interpret them into their own lives and situations……loving your channel ❤
Omg I love this!!!! I try to model this for my 18 yr old daughter. It’s hard to explain that I feel lucky, love my life and KNOW everything will work out. My daughter says i sound like I’m bragging but I’m not. I teach special Ed preschool students, adore my husband and cannot imagine a better daughter than I have. Why are we made to feel like we can’t love our lives!
Thank you Lisa, I needed to hear this today...I am consciously doing everything in my power to turn things around and I am struggling...it's a daily battle in my mind especially...but I am not giving up! thank you for sharing your positivity sending you blessings love and light 💚💚
Lisa - I really enjoy how authentic you come across on your channel. Love your videos, love how you speak to your audience as if you're chatting with a girlfriend in front of you. But I must say, this is one of my favorites!!
Thank you Lisa! I teared up listening to you. It’s funny, my middle name is Joy and everyone calls me joy because, honestly, my past joyful outlook and personality. i’m 53 now and seemed to have lost my joy. I blame much of that on daily severe pain I deal with bc of a back injury and failed back surgery. I do have other joys in my life and i thank God often for them. however, when it comes to me personally, i just don’t feel joyful. I am going to work on it more. one by one! even with pain, i know i can do some things to get there ☺️be blessed & full of joy!
Hi Lisa. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and life experiences with other people who may be feeling the same or experiencing similar situations. I’m 54 yo and can relate to much of what you’re talking about. I always try to stay positive and be thankful for my many blessings. I remember being 19-20yo wishing I could win the lottery so I could move to a nicer home. I didn’t win the lottery loI, but went back to school and became a nurse, and remember thinking my wish came true! I didn’t win the lottery, but I was able to build my first, maybe my forever home at age 32yo. I have 2 wonderful children, and although my first marriage with their father wasn’t meant to last, I’ve remarried and have a wonderful husband who treats me with respect and unconditionally loves me. On another note, I’ve been doing the carnivore diet for about 6 weeks, and have been having problems with leg cramps, not sleeping well, fatigue and just not feeling as good. I usually feel happier and more positive than I have been for the past few weeks. I started the carnivore due to IBS symptoms and having that menopause stomach flab lol! Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated!😊😍
Thank you once again, Lisa for an awesome video I do encourage people to turn to God find a church and get on your knees and pray, I cant, imagine, living day-to-day without my heavenly father❤
I love your attitude about the news. I haven't watched TV or commercials over 5 years. My clients will give me updates. The news is junkfood for the soul of the worst kind. Bad news sells. My sister wanted to be in broadcasting on college and her college classes told her people listen to bad news more often so that's what's broadcasted. This was in the early 80's and it's only gotten worse with the prescription commercials...tell you the symptoms and sell you the medication that never cures....Society will finally find out one day that emotions cause a lot of dis-ease
This is the attitude I’ve had all my life. I suppose because my mother instilled it in me & my dad had an attitude of “endless possibilities”. When my husband met me he said I was the luckiest person he had ever met! I didn’t think of it as being lucky, but I guess that’s how it comes across. I am also a lifelong learner and that helps a lot! Never stagnant & always striving for improvement. ❤
Thanks Lisa for such an inspiring and positive video! I would love to see you do one of these every month. Great info and quotes but it was so jam packed I had to keep stopping to take time to read everything as many weren't up long enough to read. I didn't want to miss a thing. Love and blessings to you for all you do.
I do believe that a positive mind brings positive vibes…all the way around. Although I don’t believe in luck, as I believe only in My Creator👑…and know He wants only the best for all of His Beloveds.✨♥️✨
Hi Lisa,, I knew when I first saw one of your video’s I could feel your high frequency, high vibing positive energy!! ❤️ You are one of my people and I have the exact same beliefs. I appreciate you and the positive energy you bring to the world! Thank you, Linda 🙏🏻
Hi Lisa, I enjoy watching your videos. :) You made some good points in this video. It is important to fill our minds with good things. I personally don’t believe in luck. I believe every good and perfect gift comes from above. What I have learned is that I am one of those people who has had a negativity bent. Perhaps some form of self-protection or coping mechanism. I do believe it’s good to set goals. In the past I have had my head in the clouds and had “magical thinking”. Through a lot of disappointments and disillusionments, which was extremely painful…I realized that I was not being realistic. I guess it is good to balance being realistic with positive thoughts, though not in a magical way in which “all of my dreams come true”. The truth is that we don’t always get what we want and I think that is a good thing. Not everything that I thought I wanted was good for me. I can’t call myself a “lucky girl” because again I don’t believe in luck. I can call myself blessed because I do believe that every good and perfect gift comes from above.
Hey Lisa, thanks for this! I honestly tried really hard to not judge by thinking “of course you’re lucky, look at your life!” But I think that’s the whole point, you built that life and are just reaping the fortunes of what you sowed. With that being said, could you please share: What are you reading/watching? Who do you listen to?
I’m a loss for words; but this message is SO TRUE. Mindset & self perception will navigate your entire life, so both need to be strong & positive. At 65 my life is living proof of that. After a lifetime of trauma I took one year to seriously work on myself. As a result I’ve found the love of my life & have completely changed the direction of my future! Thank you for a beautiful reminder of how “Lucky” we really are Lisa! 😘💕🍀
Same- I used to LOVE reality tv and there was nothing better than chilling out with my dogs and catching up. But now I don’t watch it at all bc it just triggers different things from my past and it’s not beneficial for me. Bring intentional about what you fill your mind with is important!
Thank-You, Lisa! I needed this pep talk! I appreciate you, and I felt that you are inspired! Love your wisdom, and appreciate your perspective! Grateful for your wisdom, and feel ready to sleep, and take this advice to heart! "I too, am a LUCKY GIRL!" ♥️🎻😎
Lisa… you are so much like many of the women I’ve worked with and been friends with my entire adult life! We support each other, we laugh and have fun no matter what and we stay positive no matter what! Wish you could have cocktails with us❤️🍾
I have a roof over my head albeit not where I would like it to be but I do have a place to call home, I have a vehicle to drive, I have food on my table, I have a family that loves me. I am a lucky girl.
Thanks Lisa for your inspiration ❤ I was feeling crappy till I saw your video. Midlife is not easy .but your right positivity is key also loving yourself and others. And letting go of the bad. 😊
I must say, I am creating extraordinary life for myself and I am so aligned with my life’s purpos that I can’t imagine any other way now. It was not always like this cause I came from so much limitations and family curses and as well all the life’s lessons along the way that shaped me where I am now. I woke up to my spirituality and I know I am navigating my life better then ever! “Know Thyself”!
Thank you for this pep talk I really needed this .. being off work since March cause of my back I feel sort of useless .. my husband tells me not to do things and I can’t .. but finally getting help on fixing my back .. I so wanna go back to work and get back on to our goals ❤
This is probably one of the best videos I've ever seen you make and I've watched you for years, although not consistently. I have been a very sarcastic and negative minded person most of my life and the reason is more primarily because it was too be humorous but also a defense mechanism. I'm an only child of a single alcoholic mother, so it served me to have a tough exterior. That said, I'm 54 years old now and in the last few years I've really tried to change this based on things that would be now categorized as the lucky girl syndrome. I've been a news and political junkie for years. I've told people things that I could see we're going to happen happening even when no one believed it and then they came back to me to say, "wow you really saw that coming" and I probably prided in myself in always knowing what's going o, but it is to my own detriment because the negativity that is involved in being able to see the writing on the walls, especially with bad things happening, is not a blessing at all. As a Christian, being rooted in knowing that God loves us and that He has our backs is so important. I think the number one thing that Christians never get right is to really truly understand how much God loves us. It's so much like the parent-child relationship, like when we see our children disappoint us, you know you would never for any reason or circumstance be able to stop loving them, yet as Believers we somehow miss this mark with God, and it changes the entire trajectory of our lives in positivity and in peace when we get that right. One of the things I can add to this that might be helpful to people, is writing things down. When we were young and there were no phones, we all prided ourselves in our penmanship and handwriting and so forth, and I find now as an adult that writing things down in a list or in a journal is super helpful. Especially just venting to it like you're blabbing it to somebody about all the things you're upset about. It helps you to cast that negativity out of your own mind and heart, like parking it somewhere else out of you raelf, and the other thing that is a super helpful tool is making a list of every little thing, not just goals, but things that you're going to do, even if it means just washing clothes, going to the market and washing your car. When you write those things down and then you cross them out, drawing that line through them totally motivates you to do more. I will sometimes list every single thing that I want to purchase, every single thing that I already purchased and I need to return, every single thing that I still need to do, every little thing that I have done and just sit there and draw lines throughout my list over the course of however long it takes and it really makes me feel like I've accomplished so much. That is a big motivator for people who have a hard time feeling like they're ever getting anything done. Lastly I just want to say you've always been such a breath of fresh air to see on TH-cam. Someone who's always been very genuine and honest about everything, never really putting up a facade like so many people do as influencers or people on the internet. I truly appreciate you for that and I hope that God is blessing you and your family richly, everyday❤
You literally just wrote what was on my heart....down to a T!! We are even the same age....Blessings to you Michele! Lisa I love these kind of videos that you do, please do these more often : )
@@TraceyBergum thank you, Tracey. It's so nice to hear that someone else thinks some of the things I do... sometimes I say if someone had to live inside my head for a day, they'd be looking for the escape hatch in no time! Lol... I'm always active in my mind and I wonder what some would think if they could see inside there. I told my son recently, "I think I'm going to donate my brain to science because there's a LOT going on in there!" ☺️
A happy childhood gives us the strong core of confidence. Seen so many broken people due to unhappy homes. Nurture your children. Give them your time and attention and love. Don’t push your own experiences and expectations on them. Talk to them and treat them with respect.
I agree, you gave me chills!! 🩷 Lisa
OMG this is profound- I have seen this over and over again. A mother telling her child how horrible her own childhood was, and they should be grateful/feel pity for their mother, etc. This does NOT create a safe environment for their own children. And it makes them hate their grandparents!
Absolutely. My mother ruined me. All she ever did and still does is put me down and push the msg I’m not good enough.
You could be a motivational speaker Lisa. Your sincerity shines!
I'm a breast cancer survivor and started carnivore almost a year ago. I feel & look my best ever. Definitely lucky!
I love your positivity, Lisa. Thank you for never making click bait “spilling tea” videos and instead focusing on uplifting content. It may not get as many views, but like you, I try to only let in the content that makes me feel good and not spend much time on drama or the news. Your videos always make me feel happy.
Thank you so much!! I agree, I hate that negativity gets so much attention 😢 Lisa
This was so on point Lisa!. This may sound crazy but I created the "lucky girl" life I wanted with intention. I was with a man for 13 years throughout my 30's and into my 40's. He was very negative and would criticize me constantly but we'd been together for so long and had bought a house so I stayed eventhough my mental health was declining. During this time I was also managing a company where my boss was very rude and I didn't have any vacation or time off for over 8 years. Something started to change in me and one day I up and left it all: my relationship, my home and my job; I just up and left! I found myself the cutest little studio where I lived alone for 1 year and was SO happy. After a year I decided I wanted love in my life again and one night (during a full moon lol!) I sat down, lit a candle and wrote a very concise list of exactly what I wanted my life to look like: A wonderful man who loved family and christmas and creating memories, a job that paid me well and allowed for a healthy work/life balance, a home with a million dollar view of the city and ocean. 2 weeks after I did this little "ritual", I met my husband. We've been together for 9 years (married for 5), I work at a wonderful place only 3 days a week which allows me 4 day weekends to go on getaways and to pursue my passion and hobbies and we live in a beautiful place with gorgeous views of the city, mountains and ocean. I believe that the reason I received this "luck" was because I promised myself that I would NOT settle for anything less than what I envisioned and when we treat ourselves with respect and only accept what we deserve, that's what we manifest. Love you Lisa. Hello from Vancouver canada
That's so funny. I was reading your comment and when you were describing where you live, I thought "bet it's Vancouver" and voila! There aren't that many places that tick all the boxes, city, ocean, mountains, and since I too live in Vancouver, I recognized it right away. Loved your comment, and am very happy for you that all turned out as you wished ☘
What an amazing story! Thanks for sharing. I did the same and spent my 30’s and 40’s with a negative husband and one day said that’s enough! Kicked him out and was jobless for months. I have turned it all around and now am much happier.
@@KarlinLaramy it was the scariest time of my life and now it’s the happiest time. Risk is scary but it’s important to bet on ourselves.. life is short
@@mmcs4973 it’s certain beautiful city.. expensive but beautiful lol
@@jemstar7592 I live here too! It’s beyond beautiful but yes expensive 😊.
I am an academic librarian at a community college in NYC. Yesterday I spent about 25 minutes helping a student find calculus and chemistry textbooks books that she could borrow. She was pleasant, positive, upbeat, engaged in her courses, and energetic. She wore an Islamic head covering and her body was covered from head to toe with clothes and white boots on a 70 degree day. The only skin showing was her completely burned face and stubs for hands. Although, she did have two stubby fingers on her right hand which allowed her to turn the pages of the heavy books I held while she eagerly searched the table of contents. I think we could learn a lot from this woman.
It's Biblical, God teaches us to love ourselves, count our blessings, be thankful and appreciative of all He has given us 🙏 ❤️ love your videos Lisa!
Being “lucky” isn’t biblical. The Bible teaches us that we are loved and highly favored and that if we trust in God and accept Jesus as our savior we will live forever. Please be very clear in that.
@Danielle Woods yes, of course, I never say that word "lucky" because God is in control of everything. I was referring to loving yourself, others, being grateful, ect.
Thank you, and to expect bad times!! Those are the times that bring us even closer to him!! ❤ Lisa
May all of us remember that Jesus loves us beyond understanding and His plans for our lives are far more beautiful than all we dream of. Let Him take the lead. Life on this earth is short but our soul is eternal. let's choose in which eternity we want to go and pray for the power and the will of the only God there will ever be. Bless you.
I resonate with what you’re saying. But luck has nothing to do with it. I strive to be thankful and grateful for what I’ve been given. If there’s more out there, I trust the Lord to open the doors for those things and keep an open mind to new ideas for it all and try new things. Stay away from negativity. Keep my mind free from negative thoughts, which isn’t easy for me. Not how I grew up. God bless you ❤
Lisa you have been such an inspiration for me the past few months. I recently turned 40, I have a lot of similarities to your life story and personality. Divorced young, second husband is much older than me, 2 kids, similar values, from the South. I love your life lessons videos, I think of you like a mentor and am so thankful for you. I’ve also started eating about 90% carnivore and seeing awesome results!!!
Thank you so much, Emily! Glad you’re here and so happy for you! 🥰😘😘
I’m 38 and this video touched me. See I was a lucky girl all my life until about 6 years ago. I became a mom and moved from London to Texas and I’ve been in the gutters mentally pretty much ever since. I’m fed up with myself feeling this way and ready to feel lucky again. Thank you Lisa ❤
Darling Svetlana, post-partum health problems are so under-treated. I've been there. Get help with the kids, and especially get some hormone balancing dietary advice. I didn't learn until a decade after having kids that your thyroid is one of the first things to suffer. Of course there's a lot of aspects to losing your identity, but nutrition is often the primary cause. Perhaps start with your protein?
Kisses from London.
Thank you, Lana!! I hope some of these things will help you!! 💖 Lisa
When I wake up in the morning I do the same routine I come downstairs check the weather grab my cup of coffee and do a ten minute guided meditation then I hit a five mile trail and practice gratitude for my loving spouse…my three grown children four grands and two greats and I genuinely feel like the lucky girl ❤
Awe, love hearing this!! Good for you!!!🥰😘😘
I love this comment.
Your words are based on science: Neuroplasticity and I add in a TON of prayer. Thanks, Lisa😊❤.
I do hope that more people become more humble these days, especially throughout social media. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your message today! We think alike and you are helping many of us with your channel. I'm 70 and applying for makeup artist positions and am being interviewed. Gratitude, willingness and reaching for a higher frequency of thinking.
Thank you so much, Susan!! 🩷 Lisa
Lisa, been watching you for 7 years now and as much as I loved you then I love you even more and have switched to learning so much from you! I've always heard you loud and clear when you speak off curating your life and you have grown into your dreams I know it! You have kept my perspective in check and positive vibes all the time! You are an amazing human being and it's a treat to be friends with you! You have so much to offer woman and girls heck every human being and don't forget how much you are loved!
I fought it for a long time, but going 100 percent carnivore has become the foundation and jumping off point for me to have a better life. At 54 I was completely tired and unmotivated. I was a vegan so I'm so glad that I was able to be open minded enough to try another way. I feel like a different person now--with the energy and motivation to dream again...to be joyful. It's difficult to be hopeful about the future when you feel bad all the time. I thank God for His faithfulness and answered prayers!!!
Wow you are amazing to go from vegan to carnivore! So happy you feel energy and vitality! I’m weaning off vegetarian and struggle with eating meat but trying to get more easy protein.
@@truley174 Thank you for the encouragement...I'm cheering you on also!!!
hard to consider myself "lucky" given I lost a child ...however, I am grateful for the things that I DO have in my life. Im blessed in many ways, and I keep looking forward and not backwards.
You are exactly right, Lisa! This is one of the main reasons I love your channel so much! You are a very positive person! I am the same way. It really comes down to the individual, & the choice to be grateful. For starters, I've always been grateful to be a woman who was born in the USA in a time when women have had more freedoms than ever! I'm grateful for the beautiful sunsets at night, & my tall glass of home brewed iced tea. I'm grateful for the sky full of stars & the beautiful moon over the mountains...I could go on & on! I know I'm a lucky girl!
Very interesting concept. I'd say that lucky is not tied to age, that progression is very rarely linear, and that sometimes saying we're lucky takes away from the efforts we put forth to remain positive, resilient, and confident with the assumption that the only way the good things came to us was by luck vs. intention.
BRAVO Lisa!!! I am 59 and couldn't agree more. I say celebrate menopause and be grateful for it. It is your new beginning! I have gone through menopause and have never felt better! Take that mindset and things will be easier!!!🤗
I truly believe that at the end of your life God will say”you had it all along…you just had to use it”. Great and very important video!! I agree with everything you said!! Thank you for such an important message!!!
Thank you, Karen! 💖 Lisa
Whoever is reading this, if you have a wonderful giving husband that puts you on a pedestal all the time....Don't forget to treat him this way also.Don't fall into "well he knows I love him".NO you need to show him, even if you are tired from the kids all day.When he gets home greet him with a clean home and hopefully dinner.I'm serious I know.I only say this to women that have extra caring men, husbands.The other guys can go take a flying leap that expect things....

Thank you, Pamela! ❤️
Amen, Pamela 🎉🎉🎉
True! I've got a lot of crap going on right now that I really have to deal with. Nothing to do with my man, but I have been letting it affect our relationship. Hmmm, time to love him up.❤
You are a gift to this world 🌎
Right
There is nothing lucky about happiness and success-it takes a lot of hard work and a positive attitude-as you advise. The phrase "Lucky Girl" should not be used-that implies it is out of our control/true "Luck" comes from within and everything else is just superficial.
Wow I’m the luckiest girl when I come here from a third world country ; just to live and the best country in the world ; plus all the rest is extra to me
As an immigrant myself I agree 💯 percent ❤
Lisa, I always love watching your videos because you are such a positive person. But you are right, in order to achieve you need to put the work in! Don't sit around waiting for things to happen. Make them happen. Baby steps is fine.
I'm turning 61 and getting married in 15 days. I did it through prayers and a never failing belief and attitude.
It certainly helps that you had great parents that set you up for at least a good foundation as a person. Not everyone is that lucky and some were born in a family the opposite of yours.
My whole life changed at 50! Energy, positivity! God brings beautiful people in your path during hard times and yes parenting yourself is key. Great vid Lisa ❤
YAY!! I know, my 50's have been amazing!! 💗 So happy for you! 💗 Lisa
Lisa, I loved this so much❤.
I know I'm a lucky girl and what you said really resonated with me.
Two years ago my marriage fell apart when my husband left me for another woman. My life crumbled. But very shortly after that, I got a clear message in my head that said “This was meant to happen”. Even though it was hard to hear, I understand it now. I needed to grow and really learn to love myself. Now two years later, I feel empowered, happy, and vibrant. My next love has not arrived yet, but I KNOW, that is going to happen. And when I go on dates, I know I'm attractive and I feel magnetic. Like you Lisa, I love constantly learning and being appreciative of everything life has to offer.
Love and light✨
You are, by far, the most precious person on TH-cam. Thank you for your uplifting content and beautiful spirit.
I'm watching this for the second time and I have to say each time I learn something new. While I already know that I'm a lucky girl, this is a good reminder to appreciate everything. Today I reminded myself how lucky I am that my husband provides for me so well. Healthcare, vacations, a beautiful home. Lisa, thank you for these videos!
Lisa, I’ve been following you since day one. I am a year older than you, and have always felt I can relate. I just want you to know, this video, has been my favorite one! You have such a strong presence, and would love to see more of these types of videos where you sit down and talk about positivity, confidence, and reflection. Very well done, bravo! ❤
Listen to you this morning Lisa on my walk in my hometown in Greece. Definitely needed this pep talk
Oh Lisa, you make me feel like a very lucky girl to have found you. I have been watching your channel for 6 weeks now and you have helped me make changes in my diet and loose a whole stone in weight! I am SO grateful to you, I never imagined it would be so easy and that I could ever loose my cravings for food.
It is a massive freedom to not even be thinking about it too much when I need to buy food.
Like you, I am enjoying rib eye steak most days and not even thinking about the sweet food any more that has controlled me for most of my life. You are a joy to listen to and I love to read the positive comments from others you have helped. Thankyou thankyou thankyou so much! Sending love and best wishes from the UK xxx
Lisa you are such an angel and mentor whether you know it or not. Sending you so much love and beauty ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is glorious! Thank you for this video… I’ve been looking for something to help with positive affirmations and manifesting good things, but everything is a little woo woo. This is perfect. I’m in my 50s and I like to try to still live my life like I did when I was in my 20s… there is no reason this can’t be applied to those of us, 50 or older. Please keep doing what you do!!
was just saying this to myself this week! I am lucky and things ALWAYS work out for me. Thank you Lisa for reaffirming this for me. xx
love this! and yes it is so important not to be around negative people
I got so excited and pumped listening to you! Thank you for this video! I’m 59 and loving my life! I do what I can to look and feel my best. A positive attitude and being grateful for all my blessings makes me feel like a lucky girl!!!😊❤
Hey honey, again you open our eyes to facts we should already know, brilliantly. My momma taught me to be this way Lucky and positive at a tender age but through life's ups and downs I forget this is the way I truly feel. And Abraham, I.e. Ester Hicks reiterated this formula for success to me as I found myself at the lowest point in my life after my beloved husband and bf died in 2019, now i find your video a bouncing back board once more . not only does your carnivore videos motivate me to do better but I'm also going to implement this thought process into my daily living {more strongly} I can't thank you enough for being one of the best motivators and role models out there. I wish there were more TH-camrs and women in general out there giving WONDERFUL advice to the older and younger women alike. Were so lucky to have you!
I truly am a lucky girl ....by choice.
My most difficult lesson was learning to see the TRUTH in people vs seeing the GOOD in people. This was a game changer for this lucky girl.❤
Thanks for this video!
Thank you for this Lisa! The last 5 years have been rough to say the least. I have been forcing myself to be positive in a very bad situation. I somehow scraped together a little here and there (my carnivore diet actually saves me a ton of money!) and over the last 3-4 years have scraped up enough to move to Wisconsin and escape from this situation, where I’ll be purchasing my own little house. I’m setting out, with only the things I need and nothing more, this Sunday! I’m so excited to see what life brings to this very blessed, very Lucky Girl! God Bless you! Your message is exactly what I need tonight 🥰🥰🥰
YAY!!! I LOVED reading this--thank you so much, excited for you!! 💗 Lisa
I was sitting here earlier today thinking about how more positive I could make my life and ur video came up on TH-cam just now and If that's not a sign that I needed to here this then I dont know what is! I've enjoyed ur channel for nearly a year now and it has really done my life some good! Thank u! ❤
Lisa!! You just keep getting more and more radiant.
I am so proud of you! Your real calling has emerged and you shared it and it has definitely helped me and supported me Thank you so much♥️♥️♥️keep em coming I saved this one and I'm gonna listen to it every day like a sermon in church!!! 🙏
Lisa this is the most important video you have ever made. This is an important message we all need to hear.
Dang we got up this morning, made coffee and boom, our power went off. No idea why. So got my cell phone and watched Ms. Lisa. Thank you for keeping me sane this morning. LOL I have been watching these reality shows like the real estate one called Selling Sunset. Boy those people are unbelievably unhappy, going at each other. Even if one tries to be positive, another woman will pull them down. I even joined a Facebook group and find that just as negative. I need to dump that stuff. That stuff is toxic as all get out and unrealistic. I think I started to watch them because I was curious first about the houses but quickly found out that is not what is about at all. Anyway, it is so true to get rid of stuff like that, people who drag you down, negative thoughts. I know that is not always possible 100% of the time but it is worth it to try to do the best you can. I was a political junkie big time and gave that up long ago. I do stay informed but not 24/7. Interesting topic. Thanks for giving us all food for thought.
Thank you so much, Connie!! I hope you have your power back!! 💖 Lisa
@@LisaLisaD1 we did so now I can go with my friend to get some flowers from a wonderful nursery we have around here. Now that is a positive change!
Lisa I love this , I thank God first I am lucky I am a wife to a wonderful husband , a mom of three grown children they have amazing spouses and I have 6 amazing smart beautiful grandchildren. I had the most amazing parents, and beautiful sisters. I am truly blessed . I am working on me and where my next path is I am 59 have taught preschool for 20 years, I decided to quit that profession two years ago. I have loved fashion my whole life, decorating, and so now I am on my next journey. Not sure where it will lead me but I know with Gods grace it will be what I am supposed to do. I love watching your videos you are so positive and sweet and confident.
Lisa, you are soo refreshing to watch. I am glad that I found your channel.
Lisa, I definitely needed this video today. Such a beautiful human being, thanks for providing us such great information.
Thank you, Tori!! 🩷 Lisa
Love, love, LOVE this video. So much wisdom and persistence showing up. Thanks for sharing all of these nuggets with us. You are so cute and encouraging! Appreciate you, girl! Keep it up.
❤ hey Lisa such a wise and life lesson video….so many wise words that people can take with the grace intended and interpret them into their own lives and situations……loving your channel ❤
I have said to my husband so much in the last 10 years....I'm the luckiest girl lol. And I am. Thanks for your beautiful message ❤
Omg I love this!!!! I try to model this for my 18 yr old daughter. It’s hard to explain that I feel lucky, love my life and KNOW everything will work out. My daughter says i sound like I’m bragging but I’m not. I teach special Ed preschool students, adore my husband and cannot imagine a better daughter than I have. Why are we made to feel like we can’t love our lives!
Thank you Lisa, I needed to hear this today...I am consciously doing everything in my power to turn things around and I am struggling...it's a daily battle in my mind especially...but I am not giving up! thank you for sharing your positivity sending you blessings love and light 💚💚
I needed this message today. With a grateful heart thank you. ❤ I'm blessed.
Thank you!! 🥰 Lisa
Lisa - I really enjoy how authentic you come across on your channel. Love your videos, love how you speak to your audience as if you're chatting with a girlfriend in front of you. But I must say, this is one of my favorites!!
Love this video. Great advice. Manifest the life you want. A positive mindset and grateful heart are key. Blessings to you and your family ❤
Thank you Lisa! I teared up listening to you. It’s funny, my middle name is Joy and everyone calls me joy because, honestly, my past joyful outlook and personality. i’m 53 now and seemed to have lost my joy. I blame much of that on daily severe pain I deal with bc of a back injury and failed back surgery. I do have other joys in my life and i thank God often for them. however, when it comes to me personally, i just don’t feel joyful. I am going to work on it more. one by one! even with pain, i know i can do some things to get there ☺️be blessed & full of joy!
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, such amazing much needed advice ❤️❤️
Hi Lisa. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and life experiences with other people who may be feeling the same or experiencing similar situations. I’m 54 yo and can relate to much of what you’re talking about. I always try to stay positive and be thankful for my many blessings. I remember being 19-20yo wishing I could win the lottery so I could move to a nicer home. I didn’t win the lottery loI, but went back to school and became a nurse, and remember thinking my wish came true! I didn’t win the lottery, but I was able to build my first, maybe my forever home at age 32yo. I have 2 wonderful children, and although my first marriage with their father wasn’t meant to last, I’ve remarried and have a wonderful husband who treats me with respect and unconditionally loves me.
On another note, I’ve been doing the carnivore diet for about 6 weeks, and have been having problems with leg cramps, not sleeping well, fatigue and just not feeling as good. I usually feel happier and more positive than I have been for the past few weeks. I started the carnivore due to IBS symptoms and having that menopause stomach flab lol! Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated!😊😍
Thank you once again, Lisa for an awesome video I do encourage people to turn to God find a church and get on your knees and pray, I cant, imagine, living day-to-day without my heavenly father❤
Thanks Lisa - needed this❤ - this video will be saved on repeat!!
I love your attitude about the news. I haven't watched TV or commercials over 5 years. My clients will give me updates. The news is junkfood for the soul of the worst kind. Bad news sells. My sister wanted to be in broadcasting on college and her college classes told her people listen to bad news more often so that's what's broadcasted. This was in the early 80's and it's only gotten worse with the prescription commercials...tell you the symptoms and sell you the medication that never cures....Society will finally find out one day that emotions cause a lot of dis-ease
This is the attitude I’ve had all my life. I suppose because my mother instilled it in me & my dad had an attitude of “endless possibilities”. When my husband met me he said I was the luckiest person he had ever met! I didn’t think of it as being lucky, but I guess that’s how it comes across. I am also a lifelong learner and that helps a lot! Never stagnant & always striving for improvement. ❤
i love your self-help talks!
Thanks Lisa for such an inspiring and positive video! I would love to see you do one of these every month. Great info and quotes but it was so jam packed I had to keep stopping to take time to read everything as many weren't up long enough to read. I didn't want to miss a thing. Love and blessings to you for all you do.
Great message with practical tips!! Thank you, truly needed this today!
I do believe that a positive mind brings positive vibes…all the way around. Although I don’t believe in luck, as I believe only in My Creator👑…and know He wants only the best for all of His Beloveds.✨♥️✨
Hi Lisa,, I knew when I first saw one of your video’s I could feel your high frequency, high vibing positive energy!! ❤️ You are one of my people and I have the exact same beliefs. I appreciate you and the positive energy you bring to the world! Thank you, Linda 🙏🏻
This was not my cup of tea, so passed. Looking forward to next one.
Just found you! I LOVE THIS! I am 64 and I am going to incorporate this now!
Hi Lisa, I enjoy watching your videos. :) You made some good points in this video. It is important to fill our minds with good things. I personally don’t believe in luck. I believe every good and perfect gift comes from above. What I have learned is that I am one of those people who has had a negativity bent. Perhaps some form of self-protection or coping mechanism. I do believe it’s good to set goals. In the past I have had my head in the clouds and had “magical thinking”. Through a lot of disappointments and disillusionments, which was extremely painful…I realized that I was not being realistic. I guess it is good to balance being realistic with positive thoughts, though not in a magical way in which “all of my dreams come true”. The truth is that we don’t always get what we want and I think that is a good thing. Not everything that I thought I wanted was good for me. I can’t call myself a “lucky girl” because again I don’t believe in luck. I can call myself blessed because I do believe that every good and perfect gift comes from above.
Perfectly said 🙏🏻
This was an amazing video!! Thank you, Lisa!! You’re amazing!! ❤❤
Hey Lisa, thanks for this! I honestly tried really hard to not judge by thinking “of course you’re lucky, look at your life!” But I think that’s the whole point, you built that life and are just reaping the fortunes of what you sowed. With that being said, could you please share: What are you reading/watching? Who do you listen to?
I’m a loss for words; but this message is SO TRUE. Mindset & self perception will navigate your entire life, so both need to be strong & positive. At 65 my life is living proof of that. After a lifetime of trauma I took one year to seriously work on myself. As a result I’ve found the love of my life & have completely changed the direction of my future! Thank you for a beautiful reminder of how “Lucky” we really are Lisa! 😘💕🍀
YAY!! Thank you so much, love it!! ❤ Lisa
Lisa you are so inspirational!! Love it!! ☀️
Thank you Lisa! I needed to hear this right now ❤
Lisa, I Love this topic! Thank you for sharing and reminding me of this mindset - I do strive to live this way.
Same- I used to LOVE reality tv and there was nothing better than chilling out with my dogs and catching up. But now I don’t watch it at all bc it just triggers different things from my past and it’s not beneficial for me. Bring intentional about what you fill your mind with is important!
Thank-You, Lisa! I needed this pep talk! I appreciate you, and I felt that you are inspired! Love your wisdom, and appreciate your perspective! Grateful for your wisdom, and feel ready to sleep, and take this advice to heart! "I too, am a LUCKY GIRL!" ♥️🎻😎
Lisa… you are so much like many of the women I’ve worked with and been friends with my entire adult life! We support each other, we laugh and have fun no matter what and we stay positive no matter what! Wish you could have cocktails with us❤️🍾
Yayyy! I love this video. Lucky girlllsss 😜💕
Thank you Lisa …I really needed to hear this…I am a lucky girl!
I’ve always been very 🍀 lucky and blessed! Thanks for sharing God bless!
I have a roof over my head albeit not where I would like it to be but I do have a place to call home, I have a vehicle to drive, I have food on my table, I have a family that loves me. I am a lucky girl.
Lisa, you are a treasure! Love this video, and thank you for sharing your beauty and wisdom with us!
I’m yet 40 but I so think you would be a friend as your the perfect blend of depth and beauty.
I feel so inspired - thank you for this video 🥰❤
Thanks Lisa for your inspiration ❤ I was feeling crappy till I saw your video. Midlife is not easy .but your right positivity is key also loving yourself and others. And letting go of the bad. 😊
When I think of my daily blessings is when I’m reminded I’m a “lucky girl!”
YES!! 💚 Lisa
I must say, I am creating extraordinary life for myself and I am so aligned with my life’s purpos that I can’t imagine any other way now.
It was not always like this cause I came from so much limitations and family curses and as well all the life’s lessons along the way that shaped me where I am now. I woke up to my spirituality and I know I am navigating my life better then ever! “Know Thyself”!
GREAT TALK LISA!!!!! Thanks for reminding me how very lucky I am to live the life I have!♥️♥️
Thank you Lisa! Love ya, Cindy💗🌻
We are lucky girls to have you Lisa❤. Love your nail polish today😊
Thank you for this pep talk I really needed this .. being off work since March cause of my back I feel sort of useless .. my husband tells me not to do things and I can’t .. but finally getting help on fixing my back .. I so wanna go back to work and get back on to our goals ❤
This is probably one of the best videos I've ever seen you make and I've watched you for years, although not consistently.
I have been a very sarcastic and negative minded person most of my life and the reason is more primarily because it was too be humorous but also a defense mechanism. I'm an only child of a single alcoholic mother, so it served me to have a tough exterior. That said, I'm 54 years old now and in the last few years I've really tried to change this based on things that would be now categorized as the lucky girl syndrome.
I've been a news and political junkie for years. I've told people things that I could see we're going to happen happening even when no one believed it and then they came back to me to say, "wow you really saw that coming" and I probably prided in myself in always knowing what's going o, but it is to my own detriment because the negativity that is involved in being able to see the writing on the walls, especially with bad things happening, is not a blessing at all. As a Christian, being rooted in knowing that God loves us and that He has our backs is so important. I think the number one thing that Christians never get right is to really truly understand how much God loves us. It's so much like the parent-child relationship, like when we see our children disappoint us, you know you would never for any reason or circumstance be able to stop loving them, yet as Believers we somehow miss this mark with God, and it changes the entire trajectory of our lives in positivity and in peace when we get that right.
One of the things I can add to this that might be helpful to people, is writing things down. When we were young and there were no phones, we all prided ourselves in our penmanship and handwriting and so forth, and I find now as an adult that writing things down in a list or in a journal is super helpful. Especially just venting to it like you're blabbing it to somebody about all the things you're upset about. It helps you to cast that negativity out of your own mind and heart, like parking it somewhere else out of you raelf, and the other thing that is a super helpful tool is making a list of every little thing, not just goals, but things that you're going to do, even if it means just washing clothes, going to the market and washing your car. When you write those things down and then you cross them out, drawing that line through them totally motivates you to do more. I will sometimes list every single thing that I want to purchase, every single thing that I already purchased and I need to return, every single thing that I still need to do, every little thing that I have done and just sit there and draw lines throughout my list over the course of however long it takes and it really makes me feel like I've accomplished so much. That is a big motivator for people who have a hard time feeling like they're ever getting anything done.
Lastly I just want to say you've always been such a breath of fresh air to see on TH-cam. Someone who's always been very genuine and honest about everything, never really putting up a facade like so many people do as influencers or people on the internet. I truly appreciate you for that and I hope that God is blessing you and your family richly, everyday❤
You literally just wrote what was on my heart....down to a T!! We are even the same age....Blessings to you Michele! Lisa I love these kind of videos that you do, please do these more often : )
@@TraceyBergum thank you, Tracey. It's so nice to hear that someone else thinks some of the things I do... sometimes I say if someone had to live inside my head for a day, they'd be looking for the escape hatch in no time! Lol... I'm always active in my mind and I wonder what some would think if they could see inside there. I told my son recently, "I think I'm going to donate my brain to science because there's a LOT going on in there!" ☺️
Your videos are a blessing Lisa ❤
Thank you very much! 🥰 Lisa
Loved this video, Lisa! Thank you so very much!
I downloaded this video so I’d have it on vacation. I’m keeping it to rewatch it when I get discouraged or stuck. ❤
I need to hear this... Thank you!!
I love this video. So much wisdom
