MINDSET SHIFT: IT'S IN THE BLOOD

EVEN THE BRAVEST LIONS ARE NURTURED FIRST

"Perhaps it’s where I’ve obtained my grit and tenacity to survive from. It is in my blood.  Gratitude overwhelms me when I think of the decision, she made that changed the trajectory of her further grandchildren and great grandchildren's lives.  Her decision came with a cost, but it gave me an opportunity to live.” Sophy P. Thomas - IN BETWEEN THE SPACES: THE ROOTS THEY COULDN'T KILL 

Some strength is taught, and some is inherited — passed down through generations like a quiet fire. In her new book, In Between The Space: The Roots They Couldn’t Kill, Sophy P. Thomas reflects on the legacy of sacrifice and resilience that shaped her identity. The following excerpt captures the powerful connection between generational decisions and present-day purpose — and the deep gratitude that flows from knowing where your strength comes from. I wanted to share what jumped out at me while I was reading:

The Importance of Embracing Our True Identity

It is essential to recognize the significance of who God created us to be. We were designed to be bold and to live without fear. This understanding empowers us to take action and make decisions that reflect our true selves.

2 Timothy 1:7

Urgency of Boldness

In the quote referenced, there is a profound sense of urgency conveyed through the image of a bold woman fighting not only for her own life but also for the future of the generation to come. This act of selflessness highlights the depth of her commitment and the strength of her character.

Stepping into the Unknown

The decision she made in a split second demonstrates what I call "stepping into the unknown with confidence." It requires courage to face uncertainty and trust in our purpose, especially when the stakes are high.

Applying the Lesson to Our Lives

We must take this lesson and integrate it into our daily lives. Each day presents us with opportunities to make selfless decisions that can impact not only ourselves but also those around us. Being intentional about growth requires a mindset shift.

Reflection: What Decisions Are We Making Today?

Today, let's reflect on the choices we are making. Are they rooted in selflessness? Are we stepping boldly into the unknown, trusting in our identity and purpose? By embracing these principles, we can honor our true selves and contribute positively to the world around you.
