There's only main character energy here. Now let's get into it.

Welcome to episode 882 This is a relaunch of when God removes, it's always to make room. When God removes, it's always to make room. I thought this would be a great time. We're nearing the fall, the end of the year. And just in general, listen, sometimes things are removed from our life. Sometimes it's people, places, environments, jobs, whatever. And I have long felt this, that it's always to make room. God has a plan and it's beautiful. So enjoy this episode.

Welcome to episode 608 When God removes something, it's always to make room. When God removes something, it's always to make room.

This is sometimes a tough one to work through, right? Because on the surface level, we see the job go away, we see the person go away, we see money go away, we see any number of things in our life, big or small, shift and move out. Right? And sometimes we can take that very personally. Why me? Why did this happen? You know, what am I going to do? Now, I'd like to say that deep down inside, we probably knew at an intuitive level, very, very at a soul level, that there was maybe an expiration date, or there was a time where, you know, that job was no longer going to, you know, be there. And in fact, probably often times, you guys are probably nodding, where maybe you knew you need to leave the job a long time ago, or, you know, let that opportunity finally just dissolve, but, you know, or that project or whatever it was, right? You know, exactly what I'm talking about. But then there's also times when it was sudden, and it almost kind of catches you off guard. And if you're not careful, it can really hurt. It can really hurt your ego. It can hurt, you know, all kinds of things about like, you know, why me? Do they not see my value? Do they not see this? Or, you know, whatever it might be. And it really is a protection. Because often at times, you know, I was just having this conversation about, the other day about loyalty and how, you know, I was hearing this guy say like, you know, loyal to a fault. And actually this conversation has come up now several times in the last several days. So it's funny when conversations are multiple times, multiple locations, but about being loyal to a fault and that almost, you know, being dragged out eventually, you know. And it's so true. And then actually, it's funny that that conversation came up again yesterday.

But this idea of we can sometimes, you could stay somewhere so long, but it's really not for you. And that, you know, ultimately can end up being removed because it's like, listen, you've got other places to be that are bigger and better and for you. And that season is over. And so it's not to say like you're being punished. It's actually to say, listen, there's more coming that you need space for.

And some things, no matter how big you expand, will expand with you. There are people in your life and places in your life that will always keep expanding with you. Always. So I want to put that assurance out there. I have people in my life from years ago all the way to just maybe like one or two years I've known now. And they keep expanding with me. And I hope that they forever expand. They actually have that vibe that they're going to forever expand with me. You know, so when God removes something, it's always make room. So in this episode, I want to talk about why God remove, why God's removals are protection, not punishment. The difference between losing something and being led into something better. It's a big difference. Are you losing something or are you being led into something better?

I also want to talk about how release creates capacity for alignment. That part. Release creates capacity for alignment. Let me tell you something. And I go through this too. So I don't want you to feel like you're alone on this.

Releasing something, whatever is truly yours is always going to be yours. It is always going to be yours. So we have to learn to practice the release of and the control over the outcome, knowing that if it is ours, it is ours. And that takes some serious practice and patience. We need, last episode was about patience. So it does, you know, because we get nervous. Oh, well, I never have this thing again, or better than that, or the relationship that I have with this thing, this place, this person, whatever it might be.
