Hi, this is Delilah, and I am so excited to be able to talk with you on this podcast. I want to get your feedback. I want to know what to think. I want to know what topics you want me to explore. Uh, do you want to hear more phone calls like on my radio show or do you want to hear me talk about topics that are are important in your life or something that is on your heart? And I hope you do when you're listening to this. I hope you do what I do at night when
I'm in the studio recording my shows. Fix yourself a cup of Twinings Tea of London. There's so much thought and passion in making the flavors and the varieties of Twinings Tea that's available to you. I know this because I've met with the folks from Twinings and it is quite the process. The way they search the globe for the best ingredients, the finest ingredients, the finest tease and flavorings, and they have to be pure. They make or that
they are so pure and healthy and delicious. So start by choosing the flavors that sound most appealing to you, and an experiment branch out, be a little wild, take a walk on the wild side and try one of their their new flavors. I'm holding a cup of Twinings Tea right now. In fact, I'm not taking a walk on the wild Side tonight because I love their English breakfast and though it's evening, uh, they have a decaf and that's what I'm drinking right now here in the
studio with you. Twinings Tea of London is found in my favorite supermarket. It's probably in yours. To look for it, Twinings Tea of London. So in this broadcast or podcast, I should say I'm going to be talking about finding your truth, finding out who you really are, and finding your path. So many people feel like they're just existing, like they're wandering and they're not sure if they're right on the right path. There's a great quote that says all who wander are not lost. So I believe that
wandering is a good thing. I'm not the kind of person to take a straight path from point A to point B. When I go on road trips. I want to stop at every roadside fruit stand. I want to go up into the mountains, I want to take detours, I'm not in a hurry to get to the destination because truthfully, my friend listened to this. I got a card when I graduated from high school from my best friend, Deedee's mother that said, the thing to remember when traveling
is this. The destination is not the thing traveling is. The destination is not what's important. The process of getting there, the friends that you make a long life's journey, the experiences that you have on this path we call life, from the time you come into this world, from the time your soul enters your little dinut sized smaller than a peabody, until the time that your body expires on this earth. The dash, the dash between the day you're born and the day you die. That dash, how you
live that dash? You know? They write, you know, uh, nineteen sixty dash two thousand and fifty. Whatever the dash, The journey is what matters. So how do you know if you're on the right path? How do you know if you are using your time doing that which you are supposed to be doing? It's easy? Do you have joy? Do you find pleasure in living your life? And are you making an impact in the world? Do you find play? Is it joyful? Is it rewarding to do what you do for a living or as hobbies. And are you
making a difference in the world. Are you impacting the world for good? There are a lot of people who do a lot of things that are fun, exciting, entertaining, But are you impacting the world for good? Are you making this world a better place. I used to be a girl Scout, So I was a girl Scout for years. I love scouting and now my daughter, my youngest daughter, Delilah, is going to be a girl Scout and I'm excited
about that. And one of the things that I learned in scouting and from my parents, we used to camp a lot, and in scouting, we camped a lot, and they always said, leave the campsite better than it was when you arrived. Leave the campsite better than it was when you arrived. Make sure there's no trash lying about. Make sure you haven't damaged any of the plants, the trees,
the flora, the fauna. Leave the campsite better. Make sure you clean the ashes out of the fire pit so the next person that comes along doesn't have to clean up after you. Leave the camp site better than it was when you arrived, And I believe we need to leave the world better than it was when we arrived, and so to leave the world a better place than it was when we arrived, that's a big task. How
do you do that? When you figure out what it is that brings you joy and then you use that gift to bless others to make the world a better place. That is where you are supposed to be. Maybe you're a good manager, Maybe you're a good leader. Maybe when you look behind you, you see people following you because
you are a natural born leader. If you are one of those people that has that gift of leadership, please use it with integrity to lead people to the truth, to lead people to a better world, to lead people to a place of honesty and transparency and goodness and mercy and love. Or maybe you're not a leader, Maybe you're a follower. That's a good thing. If you have, like more than one or two leaders, it doesn't work.
But there are people who are good at following directions and good at follow through, and they're good at paying attention to details and making sure things get done and get done effectively and efficiently. Maybe your gift is something like swimming. That's an easy one, be a lifeguard, save kids lives, make their summers fun, teach them how to swim. Use whatever gift God has given you to make the world a better place, and then you know you're on the right path. See how simple that was. It's not
really that complicated. Sit down out, ask other people, Ask your family, ask your friends, ask your mama, ask your best friend. Where do you see me shine? What do you see my gifts are? Where do you see me most effective? If they say playing video games, that's not a good thing, or maybe it is. Maybe that is your gift and you should take some classes on how to produce games, and then you should use that gift to make games that teach instead of games that destroy.
So if you're a gamer and that's where you're happy spot, then go to school, learn how to create them, and then create games that uplift, that build, that educate, that teach kids life skills that form lasting relationships. Find your happy spot, find what you do best, and then use that gift to change the world, one heart at a time. Those are my thoughts on finding your path, finding your truth, finding what works and where God wants you to be.
