Embracing mindset changes through life, business and faith. Many of us are held back from personal growth because we view life through the filter of old mindsets. I believe God created us with the resources needed to live the life we desire. Join me every Saturday as we dive beneath the surface to expose limiting mindsets, and learn how to live from the inside out, using your natural gifts. More at toksaruoture.com

The Middle Ground. The Neutral Zone. Mediocrity. In this episode, I share my thoughts on what mediocrity looks like. Because it can show up looking like ambition. Years ago, after losing everything, I went from aiming for the stars to aiming for normalcy. The story of the temptation of Eve in the Bible forms the backdrop for this episode as I recently found myself on shaky ground. And I needed to uncover how I got from being so certain about my future to questioning everything around me.
Eve had it all made! Her life and marriage were figured out; what was it about her conversation with a serpent that caused her to throw it all away? She ended up in the middle ground. The space between where she used to be and where she was headed. And on that middle ground, you risk falling either to the left or right.
Mediocrity will have you believing you are advancing because you are no longer where you used to be. We say the sun rises and sets, right? In reality, it is stationary; it's the earth that moves. Likewise, you could be stationary, and the world's movement will have you thinking you are flourishing.
As always, I use examples from my life, particularly from the season I decided to settle in no man's land because it was more comfortable than where I used to be.
Affirmation:
My expectation is for better, not worse. Success, not failure. Completion, not abandoned projects. Excellence, not mediocrity. I am getting better and better as a... Insert Role (woman, as a mum, as a wife, as a business owner, as a friend, as a daughter). I am getting better as a person.

The Temptation: Genesis Chapter 3
Affirmation: Proverbs 4:18
