SOLO EPISODE FROM EVA

We have a new intro that we created for Eva’s solo episodes. I hope your kids love it. We’ll continue to use our jingle for episodes where there are interviews, but thought it would be fun to create a new introduction for her solo episodes which Eva is excited to do more often.

In this podcast, Eva answers a question from Nicole in Austin, Texas. Nicole writes: “Hi Eva. I love the Dream Big Podcast. I hope you can help give some advice on something that is really bothering me and I can’t seem to let it go. A few weeks ago I found out that one of my best friends Allison lied to me and I’m still fuming about it. She said that she could not get together because her parents told her she had to stay home and do homework, but then I found out that she was actually playing at another friends house. I feel like I can’t trust her anymore and also hurt that she apparently wanted to hang out with someone else other than me. I don’t like the fact that I am so mad about this so I would love to got your advice on how I can forgive her.”

Listen to the episode for Eva’s response, where she explains that while you can’t control the action of others, you can control how you react and that makes all the difference.

THIS WEEK’S RHYME

Over the course of your life, people will lie to you, and that’s a guarantee.
The quality of your life will depend on whether you can forgive or if you decide to stay angry.

Nelson Mandela was unjustly in prison for 27 years, and let’s not forget the Pope.
John Paul visited and forgave the man who shot him 4 times — that kind of forgiveness should give us all hope.

Because it proves that if they can forgive in those situations, then certainly so can you.
In life, you can’t control other people but how you respond is in your purview.

You can get consumed with anger — you’ve been betrayed. You’re angry and you won’t budge.
What could be solved with a 5 minute conversation can turn into a destructive, decades long grudge.

The better option is to forgive — for you own sake — just let it go.
And all that wasteful energy can be redirected to your Big Dreams – forgiving is how you will grow.
