About the Episode:
Today, I’ve got a straight-up word of encouragement for you. If you’ve been grinding, struggling, waiting for your moment, and wondering if it’s ever going to happen—I see you. You might think the delay in your life is a punishment. You might believe you don’t deserve what you’re working for. I’m here to tell you that’s all wrong. This wasn’t punishment—it was preparation.
Every door you thought was closed? It’s opening. Every opportunity you’ve imagined? It’s real, and it’s waiting. But here’s the catch—you’ve got to be ready to walk through. You’ve already done the work. The mindset, the heart, the persistence—it’s all been building up to this. You didn’t come this far for nothing. Now it’s time to go ALL IN and step through.

What’s shaking? Hey, I’m Rick Jordan, and today we’re going all in. Man, I’m excited today, because I appreciate every single one of you who listen to the show and share this out today, because this is going to be a good word for you today. There are a lot of heavy-hitting episodes that we have. You know, they’re deep, they’re pointed. I get that, but today is a day of encouragement and to lift you up, because I know that you want amazing things in life, and I want to tell you that your doors are opening. This is just encouragement for you today, whatever you’ve been waiting for, whatever you’ve been going after in life, that you’ve been just persistent with to continue to just move forward despite all the crap that’s hit you. Your doors are opening, and your doors will be completely open, and on the other side of that door is going to be just everything you’ve been going after because you’ve been just seeking this for so long at this point. And you know what, you might look back and be like, Oh, I’ve waited so long. When’s this thing gonna happen? You know, I can’t believe it’s taken this long to get to this point in life, and I still have so far to go. It’s like, I can see the door, but the door is like, all the way on the other side of the world right now.
That’s where it seems I’m telling today, I see you, I hear you, your doors are opening, and the weight wasn’t punishment. Because you might think, Oh, maybe I just don’t deserve it, and that’s why it’s all I get. All these negative thoughts can come into my mind, maybe I just don’t deserve what I want, you know, maybe I’m just never going to make it there. There are just so many obstacles in between here and there. You know, it’s probably because I wasn’t too good at this, right, or I wronged somebody else, you know, or maybe I was just really mean to these people, and this is what I deserve. This is the punishment because of who I am. No, that’s not it. This was not punishment. This was not something intentionally holding you back. This is not something that was meant to keep you stuck. This was something that was preparation, because throughout all of that waiting, all of that toiling, all of that grind that you’ve had to go through for the past, however long of an eternity, it has seemed for you, it was meaning full preparation to get you through that threshold of that door to the other side, to where you can fully step in to all the goodness and all the amazingness and everything that you’ve been seeking after, and every possible thing that God the universe has been holding for you this entire time, everything you’ve gone through up until this point, was not punishment, It was preparation, because for you, doors are opening.
I want you to say that with me, right for me, doors are opening. Imagine this next year getting through that threshold, because you know what’s on the other side of that door. You understand what you can see. You understand all the good because it’s literally been wrapped up in your mind and you’ve been placing it. This is the cool thing. It’s like every good thing you’ve been thinking of, you’ve already been placing it on the other side of that doorway, that door is usually some kind of action, right? So that’s a tip for you today. Is, if it’s something there, maybe you just have to open it. Maybe you’re already at the threshold and you just have to open it, right? Because you can open the door yourself, or somebody else can open it for you, because they’re inviting you into a circle, or you see an opportunity that might just have appeared as if from nowhere, and now, all of a sudden, that door is just opening. Right now, I’m telling you today, be encouraged, because everything you’re going after is about to take place. Doors are opening, all those negative thoughts are going to be squashed right now, because this was not punishment. This was preparation. This was not delay. This was getting you prepared for everything to receive that you’ve wanted. Doors are opening.
