On this walk, we have to get comfortable detaching from our former selves in identity, habits, and language. Let's talk about what burning bridges with yourself looks like.  Takeaways: 1. Don't entertain your flesh in areas in which you struggle. 2. Stop identifying yourself in your present by your actions and characteristics of the past. 

Contentment can seem fleeting or like a "perfect life" scenario characteristic. Jasmine reminds us that it's attainable and practical for believers.  Key Takeaways: Double check that where you are is where you truly believe God wants you.  Your #1 priority should be pleasing God.  Shifting your metrics of success to align with God's is key. You don't have to be "happy" to be content. If you fail to stay in your own lane, you will never be content and vice versa.
