Walking Fully in Your Yes

WEBVTT
00:00:02.117 --> 00:00:07.917
Well, hello, my value listeners, and welcome back to another episode of Living in Your Power.
00:00:08.457 --> 00:00:13.057
I'm your host, Dr. Marlene Greenleaf, and I'm truly grateful that you're here
00:00:13.057 --> 00:00:20.277
with me today as we close out our main theme, The Empowered Yes,
00:00:21.217 --> 00:00:24.077
Aligning with What You Are Called to Do.
00:00:24.077 --> 00:00:31.877
We are stepping into what it means to not just say yes, but to walk in it.
00:00:32.317 --> 00:00:36.757
And today's episode, the fourth and final in our main series,
00:00:37.057 --> 00:00:41.197
is titled Walking Fully in Your Yes.
00:00:42.357 --> 00:00:49.937
But before we move into today's message, I want to take a moment to acknowledge Memorial Day.
00:00:49.937 --> 00:00:57.377
Because today is more than a long weekend or a day off for many It's a time
00:00:57.377 --> 00:01:04.597
of remembrance and gratitude For the men and women who gave their lives in service and sacrifice,
00:01:05.417 --> 00:01:09.017
And while our lives and journeys may look different,
00:01:09.897 --> 00:01:16.917
Memorial Day also reminds us of the power of commitment The courage to walk
00:01:16.917 --> 00:01:23.477
in purpose and the impact of showing up for something greater than ourselves.
00:01:25.237 --> 00:01:31.457
So as we move into today's episode, walking fully in your yes,
00:01:31.957 --> 00:01:37.097
I invite you to reflect not only on gratitude,
00:01:38.037 --> 00:01:45.317
but also on how we are choosing to walk fully in the assignments placed before us.
00:01:47.904 --> 00:01:51.964
Now, there's something powerful about saying yes.
00:01:53.664 --> 00:02:01.284
When we say yes, sometimes it brings clarity. It brings direction. It can bring alignment.
00:02:02.684 --> 00:02:10.204
But saying yes is just the beginning. Because walking in your yes requires consistency.
00:02:11.064 --> 00:02:20.404
It requires presence. And it requires you to show up again and again, even when it's not easy.
00:02:21.604 --> 00:02:25.844
And this is where many people struggle. Not with the decision,
00:02:26.224 --> 00:02:28.644
but with the follow through.
00:02:31.964 --> 00:02:39.744
Now, Colossians 3.23, that verse says, And whatsoever ye do,
00:02:39.944 --> 00:02:45.364
do it heartily as to the Lord and not unto men.
00:02:45.664 --> 00:02:47.444
That's the King James Version.
00:02:47.824 --> 00:02:50.844
So it says, do it heartily.
00:02:51.424 --> 00:02:54.544
Not halfway. Not occasionally.
00:02:55.164 --> 00:02:56.784
Not when it's convenient.
00:02:57.444 --> 00:02:59.104
But fully.
00:03:00.384 --> 00:03:06.044
So walking in your yes means giving your full presence to what you've committed
00:03:06.044 --> 00:03:14.584
to. Not because everything is perfect, but because your assignment deserves your faithfulness.
00:03:16.744 --> 00:03:21.524
Now there will be moments when your yes feels exciting.
00:03:22.484 --> 00:03:26.224
It's clear, affirmed, supported.
00:03:28.810 --> 00:03:31.930
And then there will be moments when it feels quiet.
00:03:33.990 --> 00:03:41.970
When there's no immediate feedback, no visible progress, no external validation.
00:03:42.950 --> 00:03:47.030
And in those moments, it becomes easy to question.
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:50.010
Did I hear this right?
00:03:51.730 --> 00:03:54.070
Am I on the right path?
00:03:56.590 --> 00:04:04.070
But walking fully in your yes means staying committed, even when it gets quiet.
00:04:05.330 --> 00:04:10.990
Because your assignment, dear listeners, is not sustained by applause.
00:04:11.550 --> 00:04:14.250
It's sustained by faithfulness.
00:04:15.710 --> 00:04:21.410
So now let's come back to this verse, this line, where it says, do it heartily.
00:04:24.590 --> 00:04:27.730
Your empowerment prompt for today.
00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:33.550
I want you to take a moment this week and I want you to reflect on this.
00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:38.950
Where have I said yes, but not fully showed up?
00:04:40.030 --> 00:04:44.670
What would it look like to give my full presence to my assignment?
00:04:46.130 --> 00:04:51.350
And how can I remain consistent even when the process feels quiet?
00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:58.890
As always, I'm going to repeat this for you. I want you to reflect on these this week.
00:05:00.550 --> 00:05:04.930
Where have I said yes, but not fully shown up?
00:05:06.610 --> 00:05:10.870
What would it look like to give my full presence to my assignment?
00:05:12.010 --> 00:05:17.130
And how can I remain consistent even when the process feels quiet?
00:05:19.736 --> 00:05:28.516
Listen, you don't have to do everything, but what you do, and when you do it, do it fully.
00:05:30.836 --> 00:05:36.396
Again, do it heartily. I think I'm saying that word right.
00:05:36.936 --> 00:05:42.176
Heartily. Heartily. With all your heart. Do it with your whole being.
00:05:42.516 --> 00:05:50.536
Okay? So, when you do it, do it fully. So in closing, my dear listeners,
00:05:50.976 --> 00:05:53.176
your yes is not just a moment.
00:05:54.996 --> 00:06:00.116
It's a commitment. It's something you walk out daily.
00:06:01.756 --> 00:06:07.496
And when you walk fully in your yes, you begin to experience the clarity,
00:06:08.136 --> 00:06:11.776
growth, and purpose that comes with alignment.
00:06:13.716 --> 00:06:18.396
So I want to thank you again for joining me for this final episode in our May
00:06:18.396 --> 00:06:23.316
series The Empowered Yes aligning with what you are called to do,
00:06:24.556 --> 00:06:33.036
and I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day where you took the time not just
00:06:33.036 --> 00:06:38.756
to relax and enjoy this day off for those who have the day off,
00:06:39.796 --> 00:06:46.436
but you took this time to remember and be grateful for the men and women who
00:06:46.436 --> 00:06:49.676
gave their lives in service and sacrifice.
00:06:51.896 --> 00:06:58.676
So until next time, dear listeners, I want you to continue to live boldly in your power today.
00:06:59.136 --> 00:07:02.876
