“If you bring forth what is within you, it will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, it will destroy you.” – Gospel Quote

The first time I heard this, I paused. What does it mean to be saved? What does it mean to be destroyed?

After years of studying and teaching transformational principles, I’ve seen the deep pain people carry—not because of their circumstances, but because of the way they think about themselves. Most don’t even realize they have a choice in the matter.

From childhood, we are conditioned by family, school, religion, and society, shaping who we are allowed to be. We internalize rules that once kept us safe but eventually keep us stuck. Without realizing it, we give our most precious resource—our lives—away to others’ expectations.

But here’s the good news: as Tillman says, “There is an angel looking over you that says: grow, grow, grow.” That angel is your longing, your discontent. It’s the whisper of spirit nudging you toward what wants to come forth in you. Our very DNA spirals upward—constant movement, constant evolution. The question is: Are you growing toward your vision, or are you being carried by the winds of circumstance?

Yes, life will happen. Yes, challenges will arise. The difference between those who thrive and those who struggle is the perspective they bring to those challenges.

The Power of Focused Thought

Most people don’t realize how much unconscious conditioning shapes their results. We get caught in struggle, unaware that we have the power to shift our experience. That’s why Dream Building is so transformational—it teaches you how to work with your thinking stuff to create the life you truly desire.

Abraham Maslow said, “People who live highly activated, highly potentiated lives pay very close attention to their dreams.”

So, let’s return to that opening statement:

• To be saved means to bring forth the dream inside you, to give life to the creativity and purpose that longs to be expressed. Life becomes fuller, easier, and more fulfilling.

• To be destroyed doesn’t mean you stop breathing, but you stop truly living. You shrink. You become trapped in struggle, frustration, and regret.

A Personal Story of Following the Call

At 16, I felt powerless—trapped in a life where I didn’t belong. I was fighting to escape my bipolar mother, teachers who compared me to my “smarter” brother, and a system that labeled my dyslexia as defiance. I was the black sheep, different from my family, knowing I didn’t want the traditional path of marriage and children—I wanted to love women, to be creative, to design my own life.

But how? I had no roadmap.

Then, Spirit intervened. One day, a speaker from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design came to my school. In that moment, I knew that this was the path forward. That decision changed my life. My training taught me how to use my imagination, how to be solution-focused, how to follow the next call from Spirit. Every step forward reinforced that I was listening to that still small voice inside me.

Today, I wake up each day grateful for my journey, for the power that breathes me, for the dreams I’ve followed and the ones still unfolding. I live a highly activated, highly potentiated life because I’ve learned to listen—to bring forth what is within me.

Are You Ready to Bring Forth What Will Save You?

This is what I love about the programs I offer. They awaken the power within you. They give you the tools to create a life by design, not by default. It’s about becoming the person who can manifest new possibilities, who lives from passion, purpose, and alignment.

“If you bring forth what is within you, it will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, it will destroy you.”

Let’s take charge of the gifts inside you. Let’s listen to that still small voice and change your results—so you can bring forth the life you were meant to live.
