There are no two journeys that are the same. No matter how similar your circumstances are, no two paths are exactly alike.

False Evidence Appearing Real
Sometimes fear comes from things that are only conjured up in our mind. The debilitating feeling when you approach something unknown and cannot control the outcome. The paralyzing thoughts of an expectation that cannot be met. Luke 12:32 tells us to “Fear Not”. The Lord tells us 365 times in the Bible to not be afraid. One for every single day of the year!

A fear of spiders or snakes or other things similar is our lack of control of the unknown of that creature. Will we get bitten? Will we get sick and die afterwards.

Have you heard the famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the change you wish to see in the world”? Or what about the popular Michael Jackson song, Man in the Mirror? …”I’m starting with the man in the mirror… I’m asking him to change his ways”. The best way to see change in the world is to start with you! It is easy for us to complain about how things are going, or how businesses are run or about other people. It is much more difficult for us to make changes, especially when it comes to changing our attitude or our perspective. It is okay to have an opinion about things, but complaining will get you no where. I encourage you today, if you are feeling like complaining, stop and think… Is this productive? Will this change a single thing if I complain? The chances are it will not. Let’s be more productive and start making changes within ourselves first!

You encourage other women to do the same and that is what makes you that ‘Fire in Your Soul’ Rockstar!
What makes you tap your hands or feet to the beat? What makes you stop and take a second look? What makes you feel a sense of peace and tranquility? Whatever it is, do those things… as often as possible. Those are the true things that set your soul on fire!
