Finding Your True WorthIn today’s 100th episode of the Open Your Eyes podcast, McKay focuses on the theme of finding your true worth, beginning with the inspiring story of Bruce Willis. A famous and gifted actor, Willis’ success came after overcoming the challenge of childhood stuttering and finding his voice through humor, which eventually helped him discover his passion for acting. Highlighting the themes of speech development, the power of humor, the importance of self-discovery, and how these all culminated in Willis's breakthrough role in the television series  Moonlighting, McKay notes that Bruce’s story offers lessons that we can all learn about overcoming obstacles and finding our true calling.Our host also goes on to use the lesson of the potter and the clay to explore the molding and shaping of our lives. He draws from Scripture to emphasize that we are all works of God's hand and must learn and grow from our challenges, failures, and difficult life experiences to become who we are meant to be. The story of the Hereford cows further reinforces the theme of finding purpose in the difficult experiences of life by encouraging us to face life's storms with confidence and resilience. Ultimately, today’s very special milestone episode reminds us all to recognize our worth, and to embrace and grow from our challenges in order to fulfill our potential and make a positive contribution in the world.Episode Highlights:Bruce Willis’ journey to becoming a famous and successful actorThe molding and shaping of our livesGrowing from our challenges, failures, and difficult life experiences Becoming who we are meant to beOur worth and contribution to the worldThe story of the Hereford cowsEnhancing the lives of those around us and making the world a better placeGain knowledge from afflictions and trialsThe great peace to be found in understanding that our lives are being shaped for a purposeQuotes:"Perhaps there's someone, maybe you, who needs what we'll talk about, and I hope it gives you some hope.""Somehow, when he acted, he didn't stutter.""Bruce found his true worth by enrolling in drama school and working with a speech therapist.""Success doesn't come easy, but when you find your true calling, it's all worth it.""There is great peace when you believe that there is purpose in the molding and shaping of your life.""Likewise, you and I sometimes need a bit of regrinding to help us become who we're supposed to become.""And here's the thing - when we experience challenges, there are opposing forces telling us to quit, to give into discouragement, to feel insignificant.""Don't give in to discouragement.
