“You’re only a guru in your experiences and opinions.” — Kory Miles

We all speak from experience but experience is not absolute truth.
And sometimes, what we call “experience” is really just ingested insecurity that we’ve mistaken for wisdom. Hurt internalized becomes logic misapplied. You’re not being discerning you’re just being defensive.

Just because they couldn’t, doesn’t mean you can’t. And just because you did, doesn’t mean you know the only way.

blanket statements don’t make room for grace, nuance, or growth.
“All men are…” “All women are…” “Everybody always…”
These phrases aren’t just lazy they’re loud lies.
When you respond in bulk, you bypass discernment. And when you assume the worst of others, it usually reveals the unfinished work within.

Every trigger isn’t a red flag. Sometimes, it’s a reflection.

This is where healing separates from hiding.
Before you cut people off, burn bridges, or shut down ask:
“Am I healed, or am I numb?”

Because numb people don’t just run they call it “a sign.”
They feel and flee.
But healed people? They feel, dig, and choose.

That’s what makes room for communication. And communication is the risk and reward system of fulfillment. If you can’t talk about what hurt, you’ll keep building walls where there should be windows.

No closure. No clarity. No healing. Just a loop of unfinished moments and spiritual shutdowns.
⸻
Ask yourself: Am I communicating to heal or cutting off to cope?
Have I made my decisions from pain or from peace?

FAT WITH INFORMATION, STARVED OF EX*****ON.

In the realm of people development whether spiritually or corporately there is a concerning trend that I see that is a danger to you and I. In our quests of seeking “more” whether efficiency, optimization, or overall development. We can end up ingesting more than we can process and that nutrients of that information can’t be broken down and distributed.

Getting better everyday consists of a combination of desire, information, and ex*****on and without the proper systems in place we can end up fat with information and starved of ex*****on. I’ve found myself in situations where I had the answer for someone else’s situation but could have used the application of that information myself. You may have said something like “I need to be taking my own advice”.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

Getting better every day isn’t about access.
It’s about application.

You can be fat with information and starved of ex*****on.
The gap between knowing and doing is where growth either lives or dies.

Here are 3 signs you’re in input overload:
1️⃣ You always feel overwhelmed even after learning something new. Overthinking yourself from starting.
2️⃣ You’re inspired, but rarely follow through.
3️⃣ You’re getting through day 1, but fade on day 2.

If you felt this, drop a 🧱 and let me know you’re building through it.
Save it for the next time you’re tempted to just take notes instead of take action.

Nobody’s signing up for more trouble.
We want ease, we want speed, we want answers.
And when it doesn’t shift — even after we pray, fast, worship, read, meditate, and cry — we assume something’s wrong.

But what if I told you it wasn’t punishment…
It was a classroom?

I had the right intention, but the wrong timing.
I was grinding like culture, not growing like the Kingdom.
And in devotion, God checked me:

“You asked for help. I gave you hinderance.
You wouldn’t see the help if you never saw the trouble.”
→ 9:51 AM. 10/7/24.

That line took me out.
Gathered me. Cleared me. Tea clocked and shivers timbered.

Trouble came to train me.
Discomfort came to develop me.
Not because God was ignoring me, but because He was maturing me.

Life without trouble is immature.
Let the fire reveal.
Let the trouble teach.

We’re not just surviving…
We’re getting better. Every day.

If you’re in it but you’re committed to growing through it drop 🔒in the comments. Let me know you’re with me.
(And if you know someone who needs to hear this share this with them)

Some trials are louder than others.
But the wisest thing I’ve learned is this:

Don’t let your mouth agree with your moment.

Discipline your words even when life is undisciplined.
You’re listening to yourself speak — and whatever you keep hearing, you start believing.

Guard your mouth. Guard your mind. Guard your outcome.

“In seasons of trial, the best practice is the minding of words and the guarding of mouths.” — Kory Miles

I was doing some thinking and had a thought I wanted to share.

When you start the journey towards purpose. You will undoubtedly be met at the intersection with the enemy of purpose, which is perfection. Subconsciously we seem to believe that perfection is a companion of purpose. This could not be further from the truth. Perfection should not be confused with betterment and development. Perfection can cause us to spin our wheels and in up stuck and stagnant. Acting like a w**d whose sole purpose (no pun intended) is to choke out purpose and replace it as the direction you should go…which ultimately leads you nowhere. Pursue purpose reject perfection and let’s get better everyday…

Exits are apart of life. At some point you will leave some place, something or someone and In fact your birth was an exit. Before the exit that birthed you there was a process that prepared for it. Nobody was caught off guard for that exit, in fact there were prepared for it. It was a joyful time and not a stressful time (regarding the process) because it wasn’t not a surprise. There were signs, frameworks, advisors, and a plan, that accompanied that exit. As a leader, planning is apart of the process. Exits aren’t endings. They are actually beginnings.

If you live long enough, you will at some point say a final goodbye to someone who didn’t pass away. They didn’t pass away, you didn’t pass away, your connection did. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing, but it is a reality thing. The natural course of life when studied when reveal beginning, middle, and end of all things as a natural recourse. This doesn’t have to be accompanied by hard feelings, shade or even pettiness. Maturity would let people leave to go to what they feel best fits them. Pay attention to who people tell you they are, who they want to be, and what they ultimately see you as. If this doesn’t work with your self awareness then allow the dissolving. You cannot grow yourself if you do not know yourself.

There is a strong difference between knowledge and ex*****on. In his book “The 21 Irrefutable
Laws of Leadership” John Maxwell mentions “The Law Of Influence” that says “the true measure of leadership is influence nothing more, nothing less.” Leading people is all about influence. You cannot manufacture this, it MUST be authentic. Your problem isn’t what you don’t know, it’s your ability to use it. Let’s continue to get better everyday!

I know what you’re thinking, Who would pet a snake? However, Hear me out, it’s not about the literal attempt to pet a snake, but the way you keep attempting to fix and change individuals who have already shown you how they are. This doesn’t mean people can’t change, this is to say YOU can’t change them. You see no matter how much you try there is nothing you can do to change or fix anybody. The only person you have control over is yourself. You may introduce a new concept, line of thinking or even Be able to influence but the choices and the work will always remain the sole responsibility of that individual. You will never force loyalty from a person who doesn’t want to give it. Navigation of any relationship will always reflect back to you clearly understanding your boundaries.

You’ve prepared for this but you have to follow through! Why go through everything you went to, to NOT finish? Don’t let it go to waste! It’s time to go to another level!

I get it, and I’ll be honest with you. What you’re doing is easy. In fact that may be the easiest part. I can say this because if you’re doing the work to do what’s easy for you, you’ve found your purpose. This simply means you’ve found what makes you unique. You are the listening ear, or the kitchen beautician. You’re the mom or dad of your friend group. You’re the fashion icon, or the spiritual liaison. All of these things are unique to the gifting you were born with, and that is why it’s so easy. It comes naturally to you. Let me tell you what the hard part is. Discipline. This is the development of the skills that surround your gift(s). Let me provide an example. A restaurant can have amazing food but without the development of customer service around that food, they won’t last long. Your gifts can get you wins, but Development and training are a detrimental for being victorious. Let’s get better everyday!

Recently watched an interview with on the podcast. There was a wealth of knowledge shared back and forth on the segment. This particular quote resonated with me. Whatever your building, growing, or envisioning may not be about money, but money is involved. Purpose Driven, and Value Led doesn’t mean isn’t involved. With every new level there is a removal process, a leaving behind and your attitude towards and understanding of money can stunt or accelerate this. Let’s continue to get better everyday.
