  • Featured Presentation: My Vegetarian Breakthrough  – Part 2

Featured Presentation

In Part I, I outlined the six lessons I learned for my own personal development.

In Part II, I address the final final six lessons as well as some spiritual insights I’ve gained.

My big lesson is that “Breakthrough is an attitude.” So, in a very real way my 12 months as a vegetarian was really about my own attitude adjustment.

This adjustment started with three spiritual insights that I have to internalize into my core fabric, not just head knowledge. I’m still working on these. But, I’m trying.

Spiritual Insights for Breakthrough Influence

  • Trust wholeheartedly that God is working everything together on my behalf even when I can’t see or feel it
  • God is not impressed (or moved) by many of the things that impress me
  • The more I do, the less room I leave for God

Resources referenced in this Episode

  • John Quincy Adams quote “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
  • Zig Ziglar quote, “You can get everything you want in life if you help enough others get what they want.”
  • Ancient Chinese proverb, “when the student is ready, the teacher will come”.
  • Michael Hyatt book, Platform: How to get noticed in a noisy word (affiliate link)

The Final Six Lessons For Breakthrough

  • Lesson #7: Expand Your Platform
  • Lesson #8: Give More Away
  • Lesson #9: Offer Exceptional Value
  • Lesson #10: Follow the Experts
  • Lesson #11: Think Like a Business
  • Lesson #12: Be the Breakthrough

Blessings on your own efforts to “Be the Breakthrough”. I look forward to hearing about your journey and successes.

I would love to hear your thoughts about these 12 steps. Which one best resonates with you? 

How can I pray for your breakthrough?

For years, I felt dissatisfied with the trajectory of pursuing what I was built to do. But, now I felt I was at a psychological and emotional impasse. The time for change was now. But, only if God would show me the way. I felt called to a what is called a “fast”—a biblical tradition of consecrating oneself by sacrificing elements of one’s regular diet. For me, the message felt clear. Give up what you like most—meat. All of it. Yes, even fish/seafood. So, on August 19, 2013 it began with a simple prayer to God, “Please show me my breakthrough“.

Over these twelve months as a vegetarian, I learned twelve seminal lessons about my vision, my voice, and my value.

I believe, in fact, that these twelve lessons are, in many ways, critical for anyone wanting to live a life of influence.  Is that you?
