WOW! Lisa I needed to hear this this morning! I'm 72 and just registered for classes to finally fulfill my lifelong dream of being a fashion designer. I spent the last 50years being a RN because I believed that was the way for me to support my son and I. I have finally put that behind and I'm excited about my future. Thank you Lisa!!
How wonderful! Yay for you! I am so proud of you! Please let me know if you ever need a model to wear your clothes. I would be honored! Best wishes to you! Xoxo
I've been holding myself hostage to my past, unable to let go and move on. I am going to play this over and over again, such a great message. Thank you.
As I am walking through a divorce I made a conscience decision to not be bitter but better. This just gave me the push I needed to continue to move forward. I am great and I am gonna show up each and every time. Awesome as always 👊🏾🙌🏾
As I go through another down time I realise it’s the best time and BOL my past is holding me hostage and I give myself permission to let it all go. I’ll listen to this episode till it sinks in forever. Thanks Lisa you’re one of the best gift we all could ever have
Lisa, I love you, listening to you for months, gave me the courage to reinvent myself. Two years ago, I lost my husband during the COVID 19 pandemic, and to my horror, I began to relive my past of thirty years, which I had forgotten. I suffered severe depression in my thirties due to trauma, underwent ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) shock treatment to the brain. After the treatment, I lost lots of my memories, but not my depression. I suffered brain damage, underwent brain surgery and radiation treatment. I had forgotten all of my pain and trauma until the death of my husband, when everything came back. I relived my nightmare of my past trauma, and struggled. Every day for the past year and a half, I’ve sat on my bed crying and listening to you. I’ve been self healing., taking in everything you said,advised etc. You have slowly and lovingly transforming my life, in hundreds of ways. I love you my sister, and I’m now ready to tell my story.
You talk just like you know me , just like you know how i feel and what i needed to hear right now. I passed through bad experiences that made me always regret and can't move on can't step toward my future. I was waiting for permission to transform. Your video was ttalking about me THANKS A LOOOOOOOOOOT i heard what i needed to hear : get through the door alone without the past
I got the drive-through (go through) DON'T PARK! Holding yourself hostage to past experience by self-judgement, the shame, the blame, and re-hashing/thinking (internally). When there has been trauma- even though I try to move forward, the pain or fear has kept me in park/doubtful of myself or that it may happen again. I've been looking for a permanent solution to grow through this and Lisa, I received my answer today. I GET IT! That carton of milk image helped - I am gonna drink it or it will expire and I'll pour it out. THAT MADE SENSE! I get it now, keep driving + take the LESSON (leave the pain). I'm not sure I know how to translate that on the real- but I totally get it mentally now. I has an expiration date like milk. MOVE ON. The visualization will help me move forward and figure it out. I really needed to hear + get that mental shift right now in my life. Thank you! I'm ready to focus on who I am now. Also, I really appreciate your sharing that your sharing your (what I would call for myself inner ugliness- things I am not so pleased I've done, my shameful moments- that when you are brave enough to share that and move on- people embrace you. I've listed to your videos (many a time) and I had a moment when I was like- yeah, that's right. I'm sure it felt like shame, but I see your story and am so inspired. So, it gave me a moment to give myself space to say - Sarah- it's possible that I can step into that part of me, without hiding it anymore, and use it to live my best life. Letting that fear/burden down would sure free me up to feel and it feels empowering to be willing to accept and embrace my full self. Who knows, maybe when I step fully into myself, I'll inspire others. #noMoreMissedOpportunities. Thank you! I'm sharing this with two other lovelies tomorrow morning STAT!
Hello Lisa, I am currently battling with some historical memories that have been a trigging pain, sadness, and anger. After hearing your message on pressing reset and renewing my mind I have been able to open the possibility of altering my reality. My past will not hold me down. I understand I am too GREAT and too AMAZING to allow those hurts to pause my life. Right now I can see that those thoughts and emotions are only a mere reminder to DEAL with that of my past and let it go. RIGHT NOW I LET GOOOOOO. I feel liberated and LIGHT. I come with ONLY myself, not my past to the door of opportunities. I AM READY. I need to RISE, the MASS NEEDS ME. Ariana De La Cruz. I will make it, NO matter WHAT!. #motivational speaker #author of self-help books. I need me more than ever. Thank you! Ariana
Your video has taught me how to move on. That my awareness of the mistakes I have made shows me that I am not who I was but now a new person, brand new with new thoughts about myself, better decision skills and new ways to embrace the new person I am now and who I am striving to become. If I didn't go through what I went through, I wouldn't have learned what I did today. I choose to no longer live in regrets, not because I am not tempted to, but because of the mistakes that I made, the pain I experienced, the resentment and every other emotion that I experienced and I'm still experiencing worked out for my good. I can't say that if I had a choice I won't do things differently but I am choosing to not live in the past.
BOL! Don't ask the world for permission - give the world notice that you are here. Love it. For so long I did not give myself permission - I do now. I also choose to wear my badges of honor in humility and pride - I am who I am because of them - I refuse to be ashamed any longer. Thank you Lisa for keeping us on our tippy toes. I love it. Stay well Sis.
Wow you made me aware and identify the lessons of what am through. In the realm of now I am reborn again and resetting and and refueling to begin now to drive to my BOL🙏💪💯❤️
Thanks April! ...you know me - I'm a visual person! That big ol' chair definitely won't fit through the door to my future. I'm better off leaving that heavy weight behind so I can flourish into becoming the BEST version of ME possible! Yes YES!
Lisa.... Thank goodness I’ve found a tribe to walk with.. You speak, & door start flings open, lights start going on, at last windows open & air gushes in to me & I can breathe.. I’ve not taken a deep breath for many years.. This feels life giving.. I’m empowered. Thank you everyone who helped Lisa reach this platform for us all to hear her.. Thank you Lisa xx
Lisa is a lot of a woman! One solid rock of a never say never machine. You just made me cry for my weaknesses, realise my lies to myself and strengthened my resolve to take a leap. God bless you.
Lisa, what a POWERFUL example of servitude and transparency! I've been unemployed for almost 6 months now and in the process of relocating south and as NOTHING is opening up for us, I've been seeking God for my "next" and then I "stumbled" on your talk on IQ. I'm going to keep listening and ACTING! Keep being used and giving forward!
My BOL is the idea that the superhero cannot become a superhero without going through something. It made me see that rather than think of seeing myself as victim because of what i went through, that i can actually be a superhero. That is so empowering. Thank you for this beautiful wisdom. God Bless you.
My Rebirth Is Learning To Put Myself First And Let Go And Let My Lessons Be My Blessings!! Thank You Lisa For Validating That I Am Not Meant To Live In Hurt!! Everyday I Am Going To Step Into That Great & Worthy Woman That I Am!!
Thank you, Lisa. BOL: Give ourselves permission to "cruise control" coming through, but NEVER permission to park in the pain. You spoke to me in 2014 (E Women network) and my journey was forever changed.
As I was watching your video, I felt EVERY bit of it! The year 2018/2019 was horrible for me. God, myself and my mom got me out of a difficult situation I was in. I am so thankful because I didn't think things will get better. Things aren't perfect, but just to be out of that dark space I was in feels AMAZING! I am a better woman, a better mother! I look at what I went through as a blessing because my mind is SO STRONG now! No one understands me but SO WHAT! I know who I am and I love myself soooooooo much! I cry thinking about what God has brought me through! I AM NOT MY PAST!
LISA LISA LISA! You are SO right about prolonging shame, blame, etc. I refuse to keep sitting down in "it" and keep storing expired milk in my fridge 😊 I have watched this five times now and I will keep watching. I love you!
Lisa, this is my second video of you that I have watched so far but I'm greatly inspired,.... I will wear what I have come through as a badge of honor!!! Thanks so much😍😍😍
WOW!!! BOL: what I've COME through!!! That sure changes the feeling of the conversation. It takes you from being a victim to being a survivor!! Mindset shift, mind blown!! Thank you!!!
That whole bit about dragging the past into the future and how the future is like" My god! I can't take both of you." That was so awesome. Same with, "Don't tell me what you've gone through, tell me what you've come through" was pretty awsome too. You always inspire me so much. If I need a wake up call, you're the one that always has such an impact on me. Thank you so much. I have been struggling with letting go of a painful experience in the past and this really helped pick me up and inspire me so much.
Sister of my Soul, I'm blown away by the difference between what I've BEEN TROUGH versus what I've COME THROUGH. I have been watching your videos on RUclips during my lunch period. I'm a sponge to anything you have to share. When I watched "Your Past Doesn't Belong In The Future" and you laid down the truth about the trauma's/trials we've each experienced, I began to think about what I've been though. I haven't been through anything, but I've COME THROUGH so much. When I settled in at home that night, I ran the laundry list of issues by starting with the statement "I came through...". By the end of exercise I was sobbing, as I felt the energy shift significantly. So simple, yet so very powerful and profound. Thank you!
WOW. WOW. YES. I had this revelation BEFORE viewing this. Even more I trust and believe that even this clip from you reiterates the NEWNESS, joy, freedom, I am currently experiencing in the NOW. Lisa Thank You. I will not only shake your hand but I'm hugging you when I see you. The SPIRIT AND LIGHT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU. I Am who I Am and In the Now I count it all joy.
OMG My solar plexus is going to burst I'm choked really choked😭😭😭what an aha moment. Where I thought my life was over and waiting for him to pull the trigger I stood up and said go ahead. There looking back I for once in my life stood up for myself, my children and said no way my life is not over. What baggage we carry forward. Thank you thank you thank🙏 from the bottom of my heart I'm free I can do it❤
#BOL!! Ms. Lisa Nichols! You hit me hard today. “Don’t tell me what you’ve GONE through. Tell me what you’ve COME through.” Yes! YES!! I had been living inside of my pain. Letting it console me. BUT, not anymore. I am crawling through it girl! And I am so blessed that God has put your voice on a platform because you have just saved my Life. (Crying tears of joy) Thank You!
Hello Lisa, you made me Smile to my inner little toddler, the teenage girl, the Mother of two in me now.The nurse in me who takes care of others. I said thank you to them for all that they've done and the badges they carry and those badges have brought me here and I learned to thank them and make peace with them. I know because of them I can do better and be better every moment. I love this. And thanks for opening your hear and sharing your love with me. I love you too. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Say it! Yes! I am well on my way of getting back to me, and loving the woman that I have become. Ms. Lisa, as you say, my badge of honor, from my abuse, and failures. I have learned the heck out of Me! And learned how to LEAN IN to my life and embrace this beautiful unique Woman of God that I am. Love you! Thank you so much for this powerful nugget of life.
Thanks Timothy! So glad you get it. I'm a true believer that words and language can transform the way we think, believe and act! If I can make the tongue in my mouth move in one direction it's a lot easier for the tongue in my shoe to follow in the same direction. It allows me to head somewhere NEW and EXCITING!
Lisa Nichols you are driving me towards abundance. i really appreciate your points. I forgot and forgive my past long way back but somehow it coming back in my NOW due to some 3rd party person. i tried my best to avoid and stop it but its not getting stop. what advice you give me on this? Im highly focusing on my Future. and yes Im enabling myself to become BREAKTHROUGH PERSON. your advice is really appreciable
I had to watch this video 3 times! When you said "don't take out real estate in hurt and pain"...that stunned me. The concept of prolonging pain or hurt that was only supposed to be a moment in my life, really got me. Giving an expiration date to pain, hurt, etc. like a gallon of milk, was also an analogy that resonated with me. Thank you so much for these understandings Lisa.
Thank you Lisa! I am renewing my mind from having thoughts of defeat but rather thoughts of VICTORY!!!. I know that the discomfort of the pain is what is birthing the passion to become a conduit to help others.
*Aha- Moment* Holding grudges were the things that was holding the brake pedal to the floor; As I was pressing full throttle on the gas pedal. I had to learn to let go through love and peace. Being grateful for what lessons that I've learned. What people think *YOU* is none of your business. I truly had to learn that especially from my family. I love them all as I love myself- flaws and all. Thank you, Lisa Nichols. 😍😍😍😍
What stayed with me was - when an uncomfortable feeling comes up, don’t make it “visible” to everyone...just observe it ...sit with it...then watch it leave your life....don’t let it stay and get stuck with it! And also - “Don’t tell me what you’ve gone through, tell me what you’ve come through “ Thank you!!
What a blessing hearing this. I've realized I've been wasting my time thinking about what happened to me and still blocking and guarding myself from living my life I as I choose to. I was not very aware of how Ive been holding on to this for over 14 years. And as of today I've got my break through. This has beyond expired and I'm throwing it out of my refrigerator for good. Thank you for giving me a piece of myself again in realizing I'm not a victim and I am amazing and worth so much.
i know that everyone can be supportive like this incredible woman. so why does the bad and negative shine so bright in so many. time to flip it people. starting right here with this guy. my struggles and failures are not a crutch to hobble around with my head low. they are portals which manifest strength to conquer everyday new challenges. "There is No Shame, No Blame, No Anger, No Regret!" Enough said, TYSM
Lisa you came to me when i needed you the most. I was looking for a mother coach for myself, and you speak straight to my soul. I am able to change within days after listening to you, because i now am convinced that my past is not my future. I followed your speech on self forgiveness, i understood myself, let self-pity go, and reach for my goals, getting better than i was yesterday. I am making big changes in my life, and even if my past reminds me of my flaws, that i will forgive again and learn again, and never go back to who i was. Thank you Lisa. - Amanda
Lisa I sit here in tears as you read me. This is so me. Recommend by a cousin and this message was right on time. I’ve been carrying this baggage for 52 years and I’m finally able to see me pass that little girl. I have adapted the “I say who and I say when “ attitude. Yes YES!! Thank you
I have been dealing with accepting every part of my past so that it no longer has power over me. I will get through the door! This is both timely and helpful for me. Thank you.
Yeeeessss Carla! The door was built for you to fit through. No need to bring in big ol' heavy chairs or other people. Continue to do you, my friend! #IAMOR - I AM MY OWN RESCUE!
I have to stop and say that...I wasn't planning on commenting on this video. I was sitting here, by myself, taking in my daily dose of morning motivation (mind you I was doing this on my roku device). Somewhere along the way I found myself tearing up! This video gave me the biggest. Aha. Moment...of my life. I've come through some tough times and came out stronger, smarter, and more independent. Before this video I couldn't really see my past like that. I felt deep hurt and pain and- resentment! I see now the sunshine behind the storm cloud and I respect the good times more now BECAUSE of the bad times... If only I'd seen this video sooner. Thank you Lisa 🌸
Lisa God bless you I'm listening to this from South Africa and I know that my failures is my possibilities I am no longer a hostage to my past! love you sista 👍
Beloved Sister of light, Thank you.. I have been holding back from sharing knowledge with the world because my past was a mine field that blew up regret, and shame along with a lot of self hatred within me. Great learning though... I receive the deepness beyond your words, your tenderness travels to my very soul giving me reassurance and courage. I love when you say, "Don't tell me what you've gone through, Tell me what you've come through.. The first "don"t tell me" suggests ( Im gone).. the second suggests (Ive come).. hahaha, love it...Bless you and your beautiful Family...
Super message. Get through the narrow door by yourself, save yourself, be successful and then help others. i love your message Lisa. You are God given!
Love don't tell me what you've been through but what you've come through! It's easier to state what I've been through because it still psychologically gives me the ability to stay stuck or bound to what happened, and sometimes glory in it, but what I've come through highlights the overcomer in me!
I'm letting go and I haven't been able to for many years, I'm letting go of the pain the trouble and victimizing mindset... I'm feeling my strength in watching your videos, there's something in me I can be! It's me! I am enough.
A - MA - ZING video Lisa, thank you!! A couple days ago I prayed to God for a new teacher and I just “happened” to find you and your videos tonight!!! This is the 7th one I’ve watched tonight and I’m still hungry for more! They are life changing and I’m SO excited to share these with my friends and our Tribe! You truly are a blessing to the MASSES sister!! Love in Christ always!! 💞Stephanie
Lisa, my Sister in prosperity and possibility... BOL with lots of smiles.... You're a blessing to me a precious one that is - God bless you Richly. Rebirth, Receive, Recommit, Rededicate, Revive, Renew... and it keep coming... • Wear your badge of experiences with honour for they define/unlock potential - endless possibility that is... • Don’t stand in the experience but stand on it - for it's a platform • Acknowledge moments and keep it moving... • Embrace, Encourage and value your uniqueness... • Energy grows were energy goes • Give the gift of all of me, all 360 of me to you....Sister you rock..... Timely message - I'm very inspired! Thumbs up - With Love Vincent
I have worn my hurts and disappointment like a back pack. So heavy I wouldn't let go because it became comforting to have it. So many years wasted. Today thru my tears I am willing to let go . Releasing the weight so I can soar. Thank you thank you.
Thank you Lisa. I had a BOL. My colleague who I helped to be tremendously successful recently betrayed me. I moved on mentally but had decided boldly and strongly that I would not forgive him. He had not made an attempt to apologize. Matt recently discussed forgiveness which made me realize that I would be chained to the issue if I did not forgive him. I chose to forgive him without an apology. A few days later he called me to discuss the issue. Lisa you helped me to see that the reason that he called was because I created the space energetically for a meeting to occur. The minute I chose to forgive I immediately felt free from it emotionally, spiritually and physically. Thank you this issue will not be dragged unknowing into my future. I know that you genuinely love your tribe. The love that you express is felt threw the screen. I love you my dear sister Lisa. You are a blessing. 🙏🏾
Today I saw you for the first time on the dr. Phil show here in the Netherlands and you spoke right to my heart. And your message here...Oh my! You put into words what I have been trying to understand forever. How to no longer be a victim of sexual abuse as a child but to use it as a platform, to use it as fuel. I could never figure out how to be an overcomer, that example of the chair is marvelous! I was just today thinking of myself of a three legged table..very strong in many parts...but unstable and vulnerable at the same time in spite of my general of determination. You just have me the fourth leg back! Talk about BOL! Thank you for clearing that up for me!!!
This makes me think to go through the list of challenges I've had to overcome, and think about myself a different way. It hadn't occurred to me to take notice that who I am changes as I learn and grow. What I've come through, and what I've learned. I know that I have set my intention to continually emerge bolder and more beautiful than before. This stirred that in me. You can't be a ride or die if you've never rode and damn near died. You can't know you've got a ride or die, if they've never rode and damn near died before. Certainly does change the perspective. I've been riding and damn near dying, with the people I depended on to love me kicking me while I'm down. I'm coming through it. This video makes me look forward to noticing and redefining who I've become, in the process. Thank you.
You have touched my core. For so long I've been so afraid to show or tell my insecurities that I slowly lost myself. I am ready to let go of my past and focus on the NOW. I am now ready to be uncomfortable and radical!
Thank you giving me the ability to recover my strength and courage to get to the next phase of my life. I've allowed my past mistakes and shame to put myself down and hold me back from a multitude of opportunities. But that's all changing . My value is greater than my past mistakes. My life and choices are not only going to impact me but my children and those around me that I care the most about. I will not be carrying that "chair"through any new doors or windows of my future opportunities!
So grateful I have a sister- who believes in me and teaches me. My life has been a struggle- I have came through so much it would be hours telling you what i have came through- but still need help getting past emotional betrayals and feeling like i have not done enough- when i know there is nothing more i could have possibly done. God has not given up on me and I never will give up on me !! I am a daughter of the King and I control my story !! Thank you
Thank you!! I needed this cause I have battles to let go of my past and reinvent myself to the person I want to be. Its a struggle that I feel often pulled back by my own patterns of behavior to the past. The image you gave: me trying to take my past through a new open door!! Powerfull to me!! This made me realize that I am free to choose what I am willing to carry with me, what fits into my future and what doesnt. I am not my past! I am only a part of it! Right now I am standing in a door that had opened up, cause I was brave to let go a part of the past and to be the new me. And then everything came crashing down again on me. I was even more misarable than in the past. So it means for the new door I need to let go another part in order to go through it!! When I make a choice to choose better than in the past I become bigger - I prosper!! Now I will do it again cause I know now how to do it!! Thanks to your content I am stronger to choose the right way for me!! Little by little , with every new door I am stripping down a load, a bag of past and some of my behaviors that are not suitable for the future I want to be in. Beeing miserable may be comfortable, but it never makes you happy. You will never know who you really are, the full you, unless you take the risk to try another choice/path, to be better than yesterday/or at least to be different without any shame of the choices you made in the past. I am curious what more there is to be/whom I can become when I am brave and forgiving!! And I am curious to know how that feels to be happy and joyfull!! I am not afraid of it anymore just because its new!! Thank you my sister!! May you be blessed in every possible way!!
WOW!!!! I have been identifying with the pain rather than the lessons of my past. Yes YES! I didn't realize until I heard those words that's what I was doing. What a revelation. You are the glimmer of light I'm walking toward in a dark tunnel. Thank you.
Wow I always try to drag the chair and the table and then beat myself up because it can't fit through the door with me. Wow this hit hard. I wasnt learning the lesson. I can leave the chair and go through bravely. "Energy grows where energy goes."
Please never stop. I need your motivation so much. For some of us you ARE the only person to tell us we can do it. For most of my life I have been told i am nothing and i can do nothing. Today Satan tried to come in in several ppl to tell me the same. Today my mom tried to tell me not to follow what i wanted but maybe i should try to become a dental assistant. I couldn't help but think of you as an accountant and realeyes what a waste of time that would be. Thank you for your words that ignite the strength in our souls.
I just discovered you yesterday and I thank God I did. I am " coming" through many things, as I wore many, many badges. You say things that not many people" get" that I am feeling. Finally, a voice!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
You have no idea how much your videos affect my life to be the best version of myself in small steps, Some of them made me cry bitterly! My life deserves my responsibility and desire. Thank you ❤
OMG!! This the second time I’ve listen to this video after a few weeks from the initial one. The comment “You haven’t been through something, you came through something “ that’s was really a BOL MOMENT for me. To be able to look back at my past and see what I CAME THROUGH AND NOT BEEN THROUGH, makes me appreciate it because it made me who I am and who I will become. My past is my past and I DO NOT have to carry it went me because it met it’s expiration date.
I'm speaking in church 2moro and have been watching this video all night to help prepare. I work security and have decided to take my 8 hour shift to brush up my preparation. This video hits home in multiple rooms! My message will be rooted in the grace that flows through Lisa's message on letting go. Thanks Auntie🙏!!!
This was an experience that I have but a dear family member. It broken my 💔I still love them and I forgave them. But more importantly I love me.The forgiveness released me. This is yes yes, my aha moment, amen sista. I listened to this message at least a half a dozen times. Thanks so much for sharing...You☀️😌💝
whew the part about exchanging who had it the worst vs. the mindset and actions that produce the result to move forward. To elaborate I noticed the desire in me to not have back and forth conversations of who had it the worst, it was very draining, and I found myself wanting to get to the productive part of the conversation, answering how while creating a strong visual of growth.
I'm letting myself know Kalitah LET GO & LET GROW. My medical situation will not rule my life; depression encephalitis. I'm living my life cus IT'S GOLDEN
Ms. Nichols, I simply love you. I started a movement called BVOM( best version of me) pronounced(Bee-vom) because I wanted to make a diff in my community through my story. My mother transitioned a year ago and my entire 20's were dedicated to her health. I am 32 now and building myself so I can live life to its fullest. I just feel your sincerity every time I watch a video...and just now I got the courage to respond. I am grateful for you and all that you bring. I am an overcomer and will continue to keep moving through the pain. I love you dearly.
Thank you for helping me to see that I am a ride or die warrior who should not be ashamed of the battles I’ve gone through in life because they have made me the strong woman that I am today.
I was so afraid to share my breakdowns because I felt it was a weakness. Lisa after following you and having you in my corner as my sister and coach to become my best ever Rickidee, I thank you. now I am not afraid to show my badges and be vulnerable...thanks Peach(my favorite term of endearment!) luv ya rickidee
I never leave comments, and almost didnt however....I am no longer letting fear or the opinion of others stop me from becoming an inspiration to others. I felt as if you were talking directly to me. I've allowed myself to be that prisoner of my past. Those words JUST hit me....Ive allowed it! Ive allowed the abandonment issues...the verbal, mental, physical abuse. The rejection, the cheated on, been arrested and caught a charge toxic relationship after toxic relationship and being told the words...you cant do this or that to consume me and take over my life. I have been in recovery from a drug for 3 years. I have been clean 1 year 8 months (yes YES!!!!!!!!!!) I have turned my life over to God yet I still held onto all these things. Your videos popped up by the Grace of God the other day and I have been watching Daily . Todays message hit me. Had me in tears tbh. I have overcome so many obsticals in just 3 years. The healing and strength has been terrifying, scary, messy, emabrassing, and yet extremely beautiful. I turned into someone I was not. I turned into everything I had been told I was or wasnt. I turned into the abuser, the narcissist, so on and so on. I am an overcomer. I hold onto my faith tightly. Your message today triggered apart of me I had buried. I was always the woman my teenage daughters and their friends would come to for advice. I was the stay up late...run to those in need of a shoulder to cry on. I enjoyed helping others heal and help put a smile on their face after a good pep talk. Ive been searching for ME again and I feel your videos have been helping me find her again. I am no longer the scared lil girl that wants to be chained. I am going to be chain free. I am going to live my story proudly and not be ashamed of it. Its what has made me into the woman I am today. Today I am breaking free..yes YES!!!!!!! Thank you for all your help and all you do. I will never give up....I got this and God got me yes YES!!!!!!
TEARS ARE FLOWING!!!! Hello Lisa... A friend of mines texted me the link to your videos last night and I cannot stop watching. All the hurt and pain is coming out just hearing your words for the past 3 hours this morning! I do not want to go a day without hearing your word! I feel so encouraged that I can get through my struggle with you. Thank you for your strength, power, and determination! Such a blessing to know that people like you exist.
So glad I found you. Read "No Matter What" in two days and will start, "Abundance Now!" l You are helping me to see the "blessing in the lesson." Yes YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the HEALING you bring to the world! When you said, "...my pain is a badge of honor," that really resonated with me, because I've never looked at it that way. I have always looked at it as something I have been through instead of something I have "come through." I just feel like I can hold my head up a little higher after this realization. I thank you and God Bless You! 🖤🙏🏾
+Lisa Nichols I have a question why is it so hard for me to stand up to certain people it's I freeze up and the other thing is it's very very hard to let go my past. and every thing you called out is me. I need help real bad I have trust issue because been hurt. by mean
I am a Saudi woman and God knows I have my load of past and current issues but I loved it when u said tell me what u came through not what u have been through!! Ah that's was amazing Lisa!!! Also when u said u can't bring ur past along to the future cus that would be too crowded !
There is a name for what I've been doing for years. After an unhappy event, I would pushereset(didn't have a name for it). I would start all over again. move to a different place, buy new furniture, venture out to new places. This recent event I have repainted almost all of the rooms in my house. I started back to meditating and reading the bible in the morning. I finally resigned myself to being alone is ok. Now I am working on keeping focus and get a handle on putting off things I should do (procrasination).This last week I have been watching your videos on youtube.
Ms. Nichols, I am very thankful to know more about you and your movement. Currently, I am in a situation where I need overcome a same obstacle again; it is the thing that hinders me to love myself. I took the challenge in facing it again with confidence, but realised in the middle of it that I am messing it up. Then the predictable happened; I am taking myself again to this painful guilt trip of self-blame and hatred. Most of my life I've been way too hard on myself. When I decided to get easy on me, I ended up still blaming myself because it felt like I became way too relaxed; didn't hit that right balance. But watching your show makes me realise that I don't put that adequate value to myself. At this point, I still feel that I am not yet ready to overcome this challenge, but I am slowly realising my worth that I became courageous enough to try again. Maraming Salamat Ms. Lisa, with love from the Philippines 😊
I have been trying not to drag those bad moments with me and now i just won’t because you helped me understand that they simply DO NOT FIT IN MY GREAT FUTURE. Thank you Lisa your words are for the soul like master hands to the molding clay. I celebrate you.
Riveting! These words have become catalysts to create a turning point for new outlooks and possibilities from the recent difficult times I’ve faced in my life! Thank you!
I'm so glad I came across this today. I feel a little bit more encouraged and a lot less depressed. The part about not "parking" in the hurt and sitting down in it, something that was only supposed to have been a moment
WOW! Lisa I needed to hear this this morning! I'm 72 and just registered for classes to finally fulfill my lifelong dream of being a fashion designer. I spent the last 50years being a RN because I believed that was the way for me to support my son and I. I have finally put that behind and I'm excited about my future. Thank you Lisa!!
JAMJOSIAH you just inspired me at 51. Thank you so much. Good luck in school.
JAMJOSIAH...You've inspired me too! I've always wanted to be a RN. I've been a LPN for 20 years. Thank you.
How wonderful!!! Go!
How wonderful! Yay for you! I am so proud of you! Please let me know if you ever need a model to wear your clothes. I would be honored! Best wishes to you! Xoxo
I would love to know where you are now. I hope you are living a life beypnd your imagination.
I've been holding myself hostage to my past, unable to let go and move on. I am going to play this over and over again, such a great message. Thank you.
As I am walking through a divorce I made a conscience decision to not be bitter but better. This just gave me the push I needed to continue to move forward. I am great and I am gonna show up each and every time. Awesome as always 👊🏾🙌🏾
As I go through another down time I realise it’s the best time and BOL my past is holding me hostage and I give myself permission to let it all go. I’ll listen to this episode till it sinks in forever. Thanks Lisa you’re one of the best gift we all could ever have
Dont cut words like Gonna say Going to XX there are no shortcuts to this trauma and self Love X Set the foundation GO FO IT XX
I m in this situation and thanks for your sharing
Thank you Lisa 💛✨🌷
Lisa, I love you, listening to you for months, gave me the courage to reinvent myself. Two years ago, I lost my husband during the COVID 19 pandemic, and to my horror, I began to relive my past of thirty years, which I had forgotten.
I suffered severe depression in my thirties due to trauma, underwent ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) shock treatment to the brain.
After the treatment, I lost lots of my memories, but not my depression. I suffered brain damage, underwent brain surgery and radiation treatment. I had forgotten all of my pain and trauma until the death of my husband, when everything came back. I relived my nightmare of my past trauma, and struggled. Every day for the past year and a half, I’ve sat on my bed crying and listening to you. I’ve been self healing., taking in everything you said,advised etc. You have slowly and lovingly transforming my life, in hundreds of ways. I love you my sister, and
I’m now ready to tell my story.
"i dont need permission to show up and be great!" wow tooo many BOL moments to write through my tears after listening to this. thank you Lisa!!!!!
Nugget # 3: The moment has an expiration date.....Yes, yes!
True.
You talk just like you know me , just like you know how i feel and what i needed to hear right now. I passed through bad experiences that made me always regret and can't move on can't step toward my future. I was waiting for permission to transform. Your video was ttalking about me THANKS A LOOOOOOOOOOT i heard what i needed to hear : get through the door alone without the past
Omg this just changed my life Thank you
I got the drive-through (go through) DON'T PARK! Holding yourself hostage to past experience by self-judgement, the shame, the blame, and re-hashing/thinking (internally). When there has been trauma- even though I try to move forward, the pain or fear has kept me in park/doubtful of myself or that it may happen again. I've been looking for a permanent solution to grow through this and Lisa, I received my answer today. I GET IT! That carton of milk image helped - I am gonna drink it or it will expire and I'll pour it out. THAT MADE SENSE! I get it now, keep driving + take the LESSON (leave the pain). I'm not sure I know how to translate that on the real- but I totally get it mentally now. I has an expiration date like milk. MOVE ON. The visualization will help me move forward and figure it out. I really needed to hear + get that mental shift right now in my life. Thank you! I'm ready to focus on who I am now. Also, I really appreciate your sharing that your sharing your (what I would call for myself inner ugliness- things I am not so pleased I've done, my shameful moments- that when you are brave enough to share that and move on- people embrace you. I've listed to your videos (many a time) and I had a moment when I was like- yeah, that's right. I'm sure it felt like shame, but I see your story and am so inspired. So, it gave me a moment to give myself space to say - Sarah- it's possible that I can step into that part of me, without hiding it anymore, and use it to live my best life. Letting that fear/burden down would sure free me up to feel and it feels empowering to be willing to accept and embrace my full self. Who knows, maybe when I step fully into myself, I'll inspire others. #noMoreMissedOpportunities. Thank you! I'm sharing this with two other lovelies tomorrow morning STAT!
BOL..."Before you tell me what you've been thru, tell me what come thru!" #Greatness
#BOOOMTastic!!! I appreciate you! #BOL - Breakthrough Out Loud!!!
OMG!
Hello Lisa,
I am currently battling with some historical memories that have been a trigging pain, sadness, and anger. After hearing your message on pressing reset and renewing my mind I have been able to open the possibility of altering my reality. My past will not hold me down. I understand I am too GREAT and too AMAZING to allow those hurts to pause my life. Right now I can see that those thoughts and emotions are only a mere reminder to DEAL with that of my past and let it go. RIGHT NOW I LET GOOOOOO. I feel liberated and LIGHT. I come with ONLY myself, not my past to the door of opportunities. I AM READY. I need to RISE, the MASS NEEDS ME. Ariana De La Cruz. I will make it, NO matter WHAT!. #motivational speaker #author of self-help books. I need me more than ever.
Thank you!
Ariana
Your video has taught me how to move on. That my awareness of the mistakes I have made shows me that I am not who I was but now a new person, brand new with new thoughts about myself, better decision skills and new ways to embrace the new person I am now and who I am striving to become. If I didn't go through what I went through, I wouldn't have learned what I did today. I choose to no longer live in regrets, not because I am not tempted to, but because of the mistakes that I made, the pain I experienced, the resentment and every other emotion that I experienced and I'm still experiencing worked out for my good. I can't say that if I had a choice I won't do things differently but I am choosing to not live in the past.
BOL! Don't ask the world for permission - give the world notice that you are here. Love it. For so long I did not give myself permission - I do now. I also choose to wear my badges of honor in humility and pride - I am who I am because of them - I refuse to be ashamed any longer. Thank you Lisa for keeping us on our tippy toes. I love it. Stay well Sis.
Wow you made me aware and identify the lessons of what am through. In the realm of now I am reborn again and resetting and and refueling to begin now to drive to my BOL🙏💪💯❤️
Love the demonstration with trying to lug the chair or old baggage to your future. its so true. im guilty of that working THRU it . Thanks Lisa
Thanks April! ...you know me - I'm a visual person! That big ol' chair definitely won't fit through the door to my future. I'm better off leaving that heavy weight behind so I can flourish into becoming the BEST version of ME possible! Yes YES!
Lisa.... Thank goodness I’ve found a tribe to walk with.. You speak, & door start flings open, lights start going on, at last windows open & air gushes in to me & I can breathe.. I’ve not taken a deep breath for many years.. This feels life giving.. I’m empowered. Thank you everyone who helped Lisa reach this platform for us all to hear her.. Thank you Lisa xx
Lisa is a lot of a woman! One solid rock of a never say never machine. You just made me cry for my weaknesses, realise my lies to myself and strengthened my resolve to take a leap. God bless you.
Lisa, what a POWERFUL example of servitude and transparency! I've been unemployed for almost 6 months now and in the process of relocating south and as NOTHING is opening up for us, I've been seeking God for my "next" and then I "stumbled" on your talk on IQ. I'm going to keep listening and ACTING! Keep being used and giving forward!
I so love you 💞 Lisa 😘...i can never get tired of listening to you 🤗Truly inspired and motivated by all your videos ❤️
Wow the future will not take in me and my past stood out to me
My BOL is the idea that the superhero cannot become a superhero without going through something. It made me see that rather than think of seeing myself as victim because of what i went through, that i can actually be a superhero. That is so empowering. Thank you for this beautiful wisdom. God Bless you.
My Rebirth Is Learning To Put Myself First And Let Go And Let My Lessons Be My Blessings!! Thank You Lisa For Validating That I Am Not Meant To Live In Hurt!! Everyday I Am Going To Step Into That Great & Worthy Woman That I Am!!
Thank you, Lisa. BOL: Give ourselves permission to "cruise control" coming through, but NEVER permission to park in the pain. You spoke to me in 2014 (E Women network) and my journey was forever changed.
This really inspired me so much!
As I was watching your video, I felt EVERY bit of it! The year 2018/2019 was horrible for me. God, myself and my mom got me out of a difficult situation I was in. I am so thankful because I didn't think things will get better. Things aren't perfect, but just to be out of that dark space I was in feels AMAZING! I am a better woman, a better mother! I look at what I went through as a blessing because my mind is SO STRONG now! No one understands me but SO WHAT! I know who I am and I love myself soooooooo much! I cry thinking about what God has brought me through! I AM NOT MY PAST!
LISA LISA LISA! You are SO right about prolonging shame, blame, etc. I refuse to keep sitting down in "it" and keep storing expired milk in my fridge 😊 I have watched this five times now and I will keep watching. I love you!
Lisa, this is my second video of you that I have watched so far but I'm greatly inspired,.... I will wear what I have come through as a badge of honor!!!
Thanks so much😍😍😍
WOW!!! BOL: what I've COME through!!! That sure changes the feeling of the conversation. It takes you from being a victim to being a survivor!! Mindset shift, mind blown!! Thank you!!!
That whole bit about dragging the past into the future and how the future is like" My god! I can't take both of you." That was so awesome. Same with, "Don't tell me what you've gone through, tell me what you've come through" was pretty awsome too. You always inspire me so much. If I need a wake up call, you're the one that always has such an impact on me. Thank you so much. I have been struggling with letting go of a painful experience in the past and this really helped pick me up and inspire me so much.
Sister of my Soul, I'm blown away by the difference between what I've BEEN TROUGH versus what I've COME THROUGH. I have been watching your videos on RUclips during my lunch period. I'm a sponge to anything you have to share. When I watched "Your Past Doesn't Belong In The Future" and you laid down the truth about the trauma's/trials we've each experienced, I began to think about what I've been though. I haven't been through anything, but I've COME THROUGH so much. When I settled in at home that night, I ran the laundry list of issues by starting with the statement "I came through...". By the end of exercise I was sobbing, as I felt the energy shift significantly. So simple, yet so very powerful and profound. Thank you!
WOW.
WOW.
YES.
I had this revelation BEFORE viewing this. Even more I trust and believe that even this clip from you reiterates the NEWNESS, joy, freedom, I am currently experiencing in the NOW. Lisa Thank You. I will not only shake your hand but I'm hugging you when I see you. The SPIRIT AND LIGHT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU. I Am who I Am and In the Now I count it all joy.
OMG My solar plexus is going to burst I'm choked really choked😭😭😭what an aha moment. Where I thought my life was over and waiting for him to pull the trigger I stood up and said go ahead. There looking back I for once in my life stood up for myself, my children and said no way my life is not over. What baggage we carry forward. Thank you thank you thank🙏 from the bottom of my heart I'm free I can do it❤
#BOL!! Ms. Lisa Nichols! You hit me hard today. “Don’t tell me what you’ve GONE through. Tell me what you’ve COME through.” Yes! YES!! I had been living inside of my pain. Letting it console me. BUT, not anymore. I am crawling through it girl! And I am so blessed that God has put your voice on a platform because you have just saved my Life. (Crying tears of joy) Thank You!
Give yourself that second change. It's one of the greatest gifts that you can give yourself.
Hello Lisa, you made me Smile to my inner little toddler, the teenage girl, the Mother of two in me now.The nurse in me who takes care of others. I said thank you to them for all that they've done and the badges they carry and those badges have brought me here and I learned to thank them and make peace with them. I know because of them I can do better and be better every moment. I love this. And thanks for opening your hear and sharing your love with me. I love you too. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love you Lisa Nichols you stir my mind and my soul! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Say it! Yes! I am well on my way of getting back to me, and loving the woman that I have become. Ms. Lisa, as you say, my badge of honor, from my abuse, and failures. I have learned the heck out of Me! And learned how to LEAN IN to my life and embrace this beautiful unique Woman of God that I am. Love you! Thank you so much for this powerful nugget of life.
I am always blown aways when I listen to you....I loved the simple word change feom "been through" to "came out of"
Thanks Timothy! So glad you get it. I'm a true believer that words and language can transform the way we think, believe and act! If I can make the tongue in my mouth move in one direction it's a lot easier for the tongue in my shoe to follow in the same direction. It allows me to head somewhere NEW and EXCITING!
Lisa Nichols you are driving me towards abundance. i really appreciate your points. I forgot and forgive my past long way back but somehow it coming back in my NOW due to some 3rd party person. i tried my best to avoid and stop it but its not getting stop. what advice you give me on this? Im highly focusing on my Future. and yes Im enabling myself to become BREAKTHROUGH PERSON. your advice is really appreciable
I had to watch this video 3 times! When you said "don't take out real estate in hurt and pain"...that stunned me.
The concept of prolonging pain or hurt that was only supposed to be a moment in my life, really got me.
Giving an expiration date to pain, hurt, etc. like a gallon of milk, was also an analogy that resonated with me.
Thank you so much for these understandings Lisa.
Identify with the lesson and the blessing rather than the pain🔥
Thank you Lisa! I am renewing my mind from having thoughts of defeat but rather thoughts of VICTORY!!!. I know that the discomfort of the pain is what is birthing the passion to become a conduit to help others.
“I want to know what you’ve come through.”
Thank you Lisa...
*Aha- Moment* Holding grudges were the things that was holding the brake pedal to the floor; As I was pressing full throttle on the gas pedal. I had to learn to let go through love and peace. Being grateful for what lessons that I've learned. What people think *YOU* is none of your business. I truly had to learn that especially from my family. I love them all as I love myself- flaws and all.
Thank you, Lisa Nichols. 😍😍😍😍
What stayed with me was - when an uncomfortable feeling comes up, don’t make it “visible” to everyone...just observe it ...sit with it...then watch it leave your life....don’t let it stay and get stuck with it!
And also - “Don’t tell me what you’ve gone through, tell me what you’ve come through “
Thank you!!
Energy grows where energy goes!
What a blessing hearing this. I've realized I've been wasting my time thinking about what happened to me and still blocking and guarding myself from living my life I as I choose to. I was not very aware of how Ive been holding on to this for over 14 years. And as of today I've got my break through. This has beyond expired and I'm throwing it out of my refrigerator for good. Thank you for giving me a piece of myself again in realizing I'm not a victim and I am amazing and worth so much.
i know that everyone can be supportive like this incredible woman. so why does the bad and negative shine so bright in so many. time to flip it people. starting right here with this guy. my struggles and failures are not a crutch to hobble around with my head low. they are portals which manifest strength to conquer everyday new challenges.
"There is No Shame, No Blame, No Anger, No Regret!" Enough said, TYSM
Lisa you came to me when i needed you the most. I was looking for a mother coach for myself, and you speak straight to my soul. I am able to change within days after listening to you, because i now am convinced that my past is not my future. I followed your speech on self forgiveness, i understood myself, let self-pity go, and reach for my goals, getting better than i was yesterday. I am making big changes in my life, and even if my past reminds me of my flaws, that i will forgive again and learn again, and never go back to who i was. Thank you Lisa.
- Amanda
Lisa I sit here in tears as you read me.
This is so me. Recommend by a cousin and this message was right on time. I’ve been carrying this baggage for 52 years and I’m finally able to see me pass that little girl.
I have adapted the “I say who and I say when “ attitude. Yes YES!!
Thank you
I have been dealing with accepting every part of my past so that it no longer has power over me. I will get through the door! This is both timely and helpful for me. Thank you.
Yeeeessss Carla! The door was built for you to fit through. No need to bring in big ol' heavy chairs or other people. Continue to do you, my friend! #IAMOR - I AM MY OWN RESCUE!
I have to stop and say that...I wasn't planning on commenting on this video. I was sitting here, by myself, taking in my daily dose of morning motivation (mind you I was doing this on my roku device). Somewhere along the way I found myself tearing up! This video gave me the biggest. Aha. Moment...of my life. I've come through some tough times and came out stronger, smarter, and more independent. Before this video I couldn't really see my past like that. I felt deep hurt and pain and- resentment! I see now the sunshine behind the storm cloud and I respect the good times more now BECAUSE of the bad times... If only I'd seen this video sooner. Thank you Lisa 🌸
Lisa God bless you I'm listening to this from South Africa and I know that my failures is my possibilities I am no longer a hostage to my past! love you sista 👍
Excellent analogy of trying go through a door while dragging an issue with you and both of you not fitting through the door. Excellent!
Beloved Sister of light, Thank you.. I have been holding back from sharing knowledge with the world because my past was a mine field that blew up regret, and shame along with a lot of self hatred within me. Great learning though... I receive the deepness beyond your words, your tenderness travels to my very soul giving me reassurance and courage. I love when you say, "Don't tell me what you've gone through, Tell me what you've come through.. The first "don"t tell me" suggests ( Im gone).. the second suggests (Ive come).. hahaha, love it...Bless you and your beautiful Family...
Super message. Get through the narrow door by yourself, save yourself, be successful and then help others. i love your message Lisa. You are God given!
Love don't tell me what you've been through but what you've come through! It's easier to state what I've been through because it still psychologically gives me the ability to stay stuck or bound to what happened, and sometimes glory in it, but what I've come through highlights the overcomer in me!
I'm letting go and I haven't been able to for many years, I'm letting go of the pain the trouble and victimizing mindset... I'm feeling my strength in watching your videos, there's something in me I can be! It's me! I am enough.
A - MA - ZING video Lisa, thank you!! A couple days ago I prayed to God for a new teacher and I just “happened” to find you and your videos tonight!!! This is the 7th one I’ve watched tonight and I’m still hungry for more! They are life changing and I’m SO excited to share these with my friends and our Tribe! You truly are a blessing to the MASSES sister!! Love in Christ always!! 💞Stephanie
I appreciate this!! That quiet shame!! I have to go through it. I have been stuck at 19 when my mother took her life and I am 40 now.
Lisa, my Sister in prosperity and possibility... BOL with lots of smiles.... You're a blessing to me a precious one that is - God bless you Richly.
Rebirth, Receive, Recommit, Rededicate, Revive, Renew... and it keep coming...
• Wear your badge of experiences with honour for they define/unlock potential - endless possibility that is...
• Don’t stand in the experience but stand on it - for it's a platform
• Acknowledge moments and keep it moving...
• Embrace, Encourage and value your uniqueness...
• Energy grows were energy goes
• Give the gift of all of me, all 360 of me to you....Sister you rock.....
Timely message - I'm very inspired!
Thumbs up - With Love Vincent
I have worn my hurts and disappointment like a back pack. So heavy I wouldn't let go because it became comforting to have it. So many years wasted. Today thru my tears I am willing to let go . Releasing the weight so I can soar. Thank you thank you.
Thank you Lisa. I had a BOL. My colleague who I helped to be tremendously successful recently betrayed me. I moved on mentally but had decided boldly and strongly that I would not forgive him. He had not made an attempt to apologize. Matt recently discussed forgiveness which made me realize that I would be chained to the issue if I did not forgive him. I chose to forgive him without an apology. A few days later he called me to discuss the issue. Lisa you helped me to see that the reason that he called was because I created the space energetically for a meeting to occur. The minute I chose to forgive I immediately felt free from it emotionally, spiritually and physically. Thank you this issue will not be dragged unknowing into my future. I know that you genuinely love your tribe. The love that you express is felt threw the screen. I love you my dear sister Lisa. You are a blessing. 🙏🏾
Today I saw you for the first time on the dr. Phil show here in the Netherlands and you spoke right to my heart. And your message here...Oh my! You put into words what I have been trying to understand forever. How to no longer be a victim of sexual abuse as a child but to use it as a platform, to use it as fuel. I could never figure out how to be an overcomer, that example of the chair is marvelous! I was just today thinking of myself of a three legged table..very strong in many parts...but unstable and vulnerable at the same time in spite of my general of determination. You just have me the fourth leg back! Talk about BOL! Thank you for clearing that up for me!!!
This makes me think to go through the list of challenges I've had to overcome, and think about myself a different way. It hadn't occurred to me to take notice that who I am changes as I learn and grow. What I've come through, and what I've learned. I know that I have set my intention to continually emerge bolder and more beautiful than before. This stirred that in me. You can't be a ride or die if you've never rode and damn near died. You can't know you've got a ride or die, if they've never rode and damn near died before. Certainly does change the perspective. I've been riding and damn near dying, with the people I depended on to love me kicking me while I'm down. I'm coming through it. This video makes me look forward to noticing and redefining who I've become, in the process. Thank you.
You have touched my core. For so long I've been so afraid to show or tell my insecurities that I slowly lost myself. I am ready to let go of my past and focus on the NOW. I am now ready to be uncomfortable and radical!
Im the someone in my life that needs this message thank you
Thank you giving me the ability to recover my strength and courage to get to the next phase of my life. I've allowed my past mistakes and shame to put myself down and hold me back from a multitude of opportunities. But that's all changing . My value is greater than my past mistakes. My life and choices are not only going to impact me but my children and those around me that I care the most about. I will not be carrying that "chair"through any new doors or windows of my future opportunities!
So grateful I have a sister- who believes in me and teaches me. My life has been a struggle- I have came through so much it would be hours telling you what i have came through- but still need help getting past emotional betrayals and feeling like i have not done enough- when i know there is nothing more i could have possibly done. God has not given up on me and I never will give up on me !! I am a daughter of the King and I control my story !! Thank you
BOL - I've held myself hostage and need to be free and go though the experience. I know I am precious. Thank you for being my sister.
I needed to hear every single word in this video. Thank you. “Don’t tell me what you’ve been through, tell me what you have come through”.
Thank you!! I needed this cause I have battles to let go of my past and reinvent myself to the person I want to be. Its a struggle that I feel often pulled back by my own patterns of behavior to the past. The image you gave: me trying to take my past through a new open door!! Powerfull to me!! This made me realize that I am free to choose what I am willing to carry with me, what fits into my future and what doesnt. I am not my past! I am only a part of it! Right now I am standing in a door that had opened up, cause I was brave to let go a part of the past and to be the new me. And then everything came crashing down again on me. I was even more misarable than in the past. So it means for the new door I need to let go another part in order to go through it!!
When I make a choice to choose better than in the past I become bigger - I prosper!! Now I will do it again cause I know now how to do it!! Thanks to your content I am stronger to choose the right way for me!! Little by little , with every new door I am stripping down a load, a bag of past and some of my behaviors that are not suitable for the future I want to be in. Beeing miserable may be comfortable, but it never makes you happy. You will never know who you really are, the full you, unless you take the risk to try another choice/path, to be better than yesterday/or at least to be different without any shame of the choices you made in the past. I am curious what more there is to be/whom I can become when I am brave and forgiving!! And I am curious to know how that feels to be happy and joyfull!! I am not afraid of it anymore just because its new!!
Thank you my sister!! May you be blessed in every possible way!!
WOW!!!! I have been identifying with the pain rather than the lessons of my past. Yes YES! I didn't realize until I heard those words that's what I was doing. What a revelation. You are the glimmer of light I'm walking toward in a dark tunnel. Thank you.
Wow I always try to drag the chair and the table and then beat myself up because it can't fit through the door with me. Wow this hit hard. I wasnt learning the lesson. I can leave the chair and go through bravely. "Energy grows where energy goes."
Please never stop. I need your motivation so much. For some of us you ARE the only person to tell us we can do it. For most of my life I have been told i am nothing and i can do nothing. Today Satan tried to come in in several ppl to tell me the same. Today my mom tried to tell me not to follow what i wanted but maybe i should try to become a dental assistant. I couldn't help but think of you as an accountant and realeyes what a waste of time that would be. Thank you for your words that ignite the strength in our souls.
I just discovered you yesterday and I thank God I did. I am " coming" through many things, as I wore many, many badges. You say things that not many people" get" that I am feeling. Finally, a voice!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
You have no idea how much your videos affect my life to be the best version of myself in small steps, Some of them made me cry bitterly! My life deserves my responsibility and desire. Thank you ❤
OMG!! This the second time I’ve listen to this video after a few weeks from the initial one. The comment “You haven’t been through something, you came through something “ that’s was really a BOL MOMENT for me. To be able to look back at my past and see what I CAME THROUGH AND NOT BEEN THROUGH, makes me appreciate it because it made me who I am and who I will become. My past is my past and I DO NOT have to carry it went me because it met it’s expiration date.
I'm speaking in church 2moro and have been watching this video all night to help prepare. I work security and have decided to take my 8 hour shift to brush up my preparation. This video hits home in multiple rooms! My message will be rooted in the grace that flows through Lisa's message on letting go. Thanks Auntie🙏!!!
I loveeeee you Lisa Nichols! What a GIFT YOU ARE! #BeRadical #YesLord
Love her she keeps it on a everyday everybody goes through level. Yes. Yes!
I love you Lisa. One day I will meet you... Thank you for being my inspiration...
Me too.
This was an experience that I have but a dear family member. It broken my 💔I still love them and I forgave them. But more importantly I love me.The forgiveness released me. This is yes yes, my aha moment, amen sista. I listened to this message at least a half a dozen times. Thanks so much for sharing...You☀️😌💝
whew the part about exchanging who had it the worst vs. the mindset and actions that produce the result to move forward. To elaborate I noticed the desire in me to not have back and forth conversations of who had it the worst, it was very draining, and I found myself wanting to get to the productive part of the conversation, answering how while creating a strong visual of growth.
I'm letting myself know
Kalitah LET GO & LET GROW.
My medical situation will not rule my life; depression encephalitis. I'm living my life cus IT'S GOLDEN
Ms. Nichols, I simply love you. I started a movement called BVOM( best version of me) pronounced(Bee-vom) because I wanted to make a diff in my community through my story. My mother transitioned a year ago and my entire 20's were dedicated to her health. I am 32 now and building myself so I can live life to its fullest. I just feel your sincerity every time I watch a video...and just now I got the courage to respond. I am grateful for you and all that you bring. I am an overcomer and will continue to keep moving through the pain. I love you dearly.
Thank you for helping me to see that I am a ride or die warrior who should not be ashamed of the battles I’ve gone through in life because they have made me the strong woman that I am today.
I was so afraid to share my breakdowns because I felt it was a weakness. Lisa after following you and having you in my corner as my sister and coach to become my best ever Rickidee, I thank you. now I am not afraid to show my badges and be vulnerable...thanks Peach(my favorite term of endearment!)
luv ya
rickidee
I never leave comments, and almost didnt however....I am no longer letting fear or the opinion of others stop me from becoming an inspiration to others. I felt as if you were talking directly to me. I've allowed myself to be that prisoner of my past. Those words JUST hit me....Ive allowed it! Ive allowed the abandonment issues...the verbal, mental, physical abuse. The rejection, the cheated on, been arrested and caught a charge toxic relationship after toxic relationship and being told the words...you cant do this or that to consume me and take over my life. I have been in recovery from a drug for 3 years. I have been clean 1 year 8 months (yes YES!!!!!!!!!!) I have turned my life over to God yet I still held onto all these things. Your videos popped up by the Grace of God the other day and I have been watching Daily . Todays message hit me. Had me in tears tbh. I have overcome so many obsticals in just 3 years. The healing and strength has been terrifying, scary, messy, emabrassing, and yet extremely beautiful. I turned into someone I was not. I turned into everything I had been told I was or wasnt. I turned into the abuser, the narcissist, so on and so on. I am an overcomer. I hold onto my faith tightly. Your message today triggered apart of me I had buried. I was always the woman my teenage daughters and their friends would come to for advice. I was the stay up late...run to those in need of a shoulder to cry on. I enjoyed helping others heal and help put a smile on their face after a good pep talk. Ive been searching for ME again and I feel your videos have been helping me find her again. I am no longer the scared lil girl that wants to be chained. I am going to be chain free. I am going to live my story proudly and not be ashamed of it. Its what has made me into the woman I am today. Today I am breaking free..yes YES!!!!!!! Thank you for all your help and all you do. I will never give up....I got this and God got me yes YES!!!!!!
TEARS ARE FLOWING!!!! Hello Lisa... A friend of mines texted me the link to your videos last night and I cannot stop watching. All the hurt and pain is coming out just hearing your words for the past 3 hours this morning! I do not want to go a day without hearing your word! I feel so encouraged that I can get through my struggle with you. Thank you for your strength, power, and determination! Such a blessing to know that people like you exist.
So glad I found you. Read "No Matter What" in two days and will start, "Abundance Now!" l You are helping me to see the "blessing in the lesson." Yes YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the HEALING you bring to the world! When you said, "...my pain is a badge of honor," that really resonated with me, because I've never looked at it that way. I have always looked at it as something I have been through instead of something I have "come through." I just feel like I can hold my head up a little higher after this realization. I thank you and God Bless You! 🖤🙏🏾
Yes YES!!!! I see you, Ashley!
So true!
+Lisa Nichols I have a question why is it so hard for me to stand up to certain people it's I freeze up and the other thing is it's very very hard to let go my past. and every thing you called out is me. I need help real bad I have trust issue because been hurt. by mean
I am a Saudi woman and God knows I have my load of past and current issues but I loved it when u said tell me what u came through not what u have been through!! Ah that's was amazing Lisa!!! Also when u said u can't bring ur past along to the future cus that would be too crowded !
There is a name for what I've been doing for years. After an unhappy event, I would pushereset(didn't have a name for it). I would start all over again. move to a different place, buy new furniture, venture out to new places. This recent event I have repainted almost all of the rooms in my house. I started back to meditating and reading the bible in the morning. I finally resigned myself to being alone is ok. Now I am working on keeping focus and get a handle on putting off things I should do (procrasination).This last week I have been watching your videos on youtube.
Ms. Nichols, I am very thankful to know more about you and your movement. Currently, I am in a situation where I need overcome a same obstacle again; it is the thing that hinders me to love myself. I took the challenge in facing it again with confidence, but realised in the middle of it that I am messing it up. Then the predictable happened; I am taking myself again to this painful guilt trip of self-blame and hatred. Most of my life I've been way too hard on myself. When I decided to get easy on me, I ended up still blaming myself because it felt like I became way too relaxed; didn't hit that right balance. But watching your show makes me realise that I don't put that adequate value to myself. At this point, I still feel that I am not yet ready to overcome this challenge, but I am slowly realising my worth that I became courageous enough to try again. Maraming Salamat Ms. Lisa, with love from the Philippines 😊
I have been trying not to drag those bad moments with me and now i just won’t because you helped me understand that they simply DO NOT FIT IN MY GREAT FUTURE. Thank you Lisa your words are for the soul like master hands to the molding clay. I celebrate you.
I love the idea of pain having and expiration date. There comes a time where you need to throw it out.
Riveting! These words have become catalysts to create a turning point for new outlooks and possibilities from the recent difficult times I’ve faced in my life! Thank you!
Thank You for being my Coach. God lead me to your videos. God Bless You & Thank You for the phenomenal work that you do!!
Thank you Lisa Nichols for helping me understand getting over past failures
I'm so glad I came across this today. I feel a little bit more encouraged and a lot less depressed. The part about not "parking" in the hurt and sitting down in it, something that was only supposed to have been a moment
