  • So I've recently been having a mini existential crisis around what I'm supposed to be doing with my life, what my purpose is and what I should pursue. I remembered something I had read in 'The Defining Decade' by Meg Jay about making hard decisions and choosing from the options we have. That brings us to this point as I share what I've been learning about finding your purpose, examining your motives, and being intentional about trusting God with your future.

    This, but let’s say Early 20’s (and the extensial crisis probably started earlier…); now I’m just leaning on the father and trying to be still enough to hear him, while also grinding & hustling, because adulting waits for no man!!! Pray my strength saints!!!!!!!

    The idea of looking at life like a mosaic, as opposed to a puzzle, is such a beautiful image! Thank you❤

    Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts with us. I’m 25 and have the house, car, husband and still feel very lost when it comes to my purpose and mission. My life feels very at random at time but, I have to trust that in the end it’ll all make sense and I’ll be able to look at the beautiful mosaic that I allowed God to create.

    Wow 🥲 I’m so grateful I stumbled across this video. I was struggling with a existential crisis since I’m turning 24 soon and I don’t have it together at all. The Mosaic example really helped me, because I’ve been looking at life as a puzzle and stressed about how everyone else seems to have the answers except me.. I feel encouraged to rethink my life and commit to one thing and go from there. Thanks so much for your help❤

    This spoke to me soo deeply i have almost been depressed lately because I'm putting myself under some kind of pressure and expecting my life to look a certain kind of way I'm actually in my early twenties but being the eldest i think i give my self to soo much thinking
    But this right here gave me peace and spoke inwards thanks a lot Courtney

    Wow! Thank you for this. I’m not in my mid-20s anymore but I’m still struggling with my purpose and if my life matters. I needed to hear this. Also, your mosaic analogy was *chef’s kiss*. It was helpful to have that imagery. Again, thank you!

    Hi Courtney, I hope you see this comment.
    I've loved fashion from an early age. It's one of my earliest memories in fact😅. I love styling, and also costume design and how it is used to tell stories. I love making people look and feel confident.
    But, my problem now is I'm afraid. I don't want people to be superficial or become obsessed with their looks. I want to glorify God through this. How does this even help people?
    How is this even useful to others?
    I need guidance.

    • @CourtneyDaniella
      @CourtneyDaniella  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Hey my lovely ❤️ Do it!
      God's given you a passion for fashion for a reason. We all wear clothes on a daily, so why not your clothes. Clothes made out of obedience and love for what you do. Clothes which make people feel good. We aren't limited to what we wear but what we wear can be an expression of who we are and you could be helping people with that expression in such a beautiful way.
      You can glorify God by honouring the passions he's put in your heart to serve people in this way and doing it with diligence and excellence. He'll reveal more to you along the way!

    The one and only thing that could improve your existents by 1000% is losing the goddamn weight. You talk a good game but everyone can tell who you are by the lack of discipline, self-worth and self-control you have over your body.

      But should we determine someone’s self discipline, self worth and self control by the weight? Do you see her eat uncontrollably? Do you even know how she eats? Do you know her? Have you taken time to even watch her other vlogs to see a snippet of her life? I’m pretty sure the answer to all this if not 90% is no. So who exactly are you to sit there and type such negative things through your screen? No one.
      Please, let’s be kind.
