Valleys of Life - Summary

Today, we’re going to talk about Valleys of Lifeand our Self Talk.


Have you ever struggled with your self talk? Are you consistent at talking nicely to yourself? What kind of things do you find yourself saying to yourself?


Let me just tell you a little bit about who I am. I’m Isabel and I’m living here in New Zealand. I graduated in 1991 as a medical doctor from the University of Colorado Medical School. At the moment, I have been working on Doctor on a Mission.


Before I graduated from medical school, I used to say things like, “You will never make it Isabel. You are such a loser” or things like, “You’ll never get the weight off” or “You’ll never become a doctor”, you know, “you’re not good at math”.

Life is full of ups and downs, right? Everybody likes having a beginning where they have a vision of where they are going and people love it when they get to the top of their goal. But nobody likes the change and the struggle.

When we’re in the valley, we’ve got a choice to make. The choice is -are you going to starve your doubt and feed your faith? Or, are you going to starve your faith and feed your doubt? Whatever you feed will grow.


What you can do to get through that struggle are:

1. Read positive books.

· Zieg Ziegler;

· Og Mandino;

· John Maxwell;

· Norman Vincent Peale – “The Power of Positive Thinking”;

· The Good Book, the Bible

2. Make a file in your email “When Life Happens

· Start depositing articles, stories, and saying so that when you find yourself in that valley, you can go there and get replenished, get fed with that information.

3. Statements

· Post statements all over the house, in the car, in your phone, wherever, such as:

o “You are worthy.”

o “You are unrepeatable miracle.”

o “I will get through this and succeed.”

4. Surround yourself with positive people that believe in you.

5. Decide to do this afraid.

· Fear will stop everybody, but don’t let it stop you. Remember, the antidote to fear is FAITH.


When the storms of your life happen, bend but don’t break.Know that you will be stronger because of it and you will get skills, and you will get the mindset that you can make it through anything in your life.

Another thing I want you to learn about is to shine the lighton your self-limiting beliefs.

You always have a choice. Say something like “I take control of my life and I am going to find a way. I am going to do this afraid. I will figure this out,”and become responsible for your success. Don’t rely on anybody else to make you successful. You got to do the work.


So in whatever you do, you can make the decision as long as it’s going to help people, it’s going to serve them, it won’t hurt them, and it’s within God’s statements.
