I just want you to open your mind, open your eyes, and open your spirit to all the possibilities of things that can drop in and work for you. Allowing you to sometimes make those decisions where it's like allowing yourself to pivot even if it means that your income is always temporary, too.
I want you to use your superpower of choice to allow yourself to get your power back, to allow yourself to recognize that nothing can happen to you that you don't allow and that you get to choose how you respond to things.
I want to encourage you guys to choose that desire in your heart and to trust that if God puts that there, He will equip you for what he's anointed you to do. And I want you to just lean in with some courage and choose. Choose to rise above it, choose to go after it, choose to get creative, choose your life.
