Don’t be afraid of life’s detours. None of us have a road map to life and it’s full of twists and turns. You may think you have it figured out and then a trial will come your way that will throw you off course. It’s okay. We will always have the ability to redirect our path. Give yourself a little grace.
There are no two journeys that are the same. No matter how similar your circumstances are, no two paths are exactly alike. Influenced by life experiences, backgrounds and upbringings, and decisions made alone can cause your situation to be inherently different. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s, run your own race and forge your own path. You were given this life because you are uniquely you.
What are some causes that you passionately advocate for? Are you fighting for gender equality, fair wages, or respect in your personal and professional relationships? Do you strive to make your voice heard and contribute meaningfully to important conversations?
Love serves as the cornerstone of existence and is undeniably the most significant pursuit. Whether it’s your love for your profession, family, friends, or fellow beings, love is the force behind it all. Even self-love encompasses a multitude of aspects. Ultimately, love is a cause worth fighting for. Are you actively advocating for love in your life today? I wholeheartedly urge you to do so.
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!
Do you ever have imposter syndrome? If you have, you know exactly what I’m talking about. That voice telling you that you can’t do something, or you’re not good enough or smart enough, or that what you’re speaking about you have no knowledge of. Don’t listen to that voice…
Walk into a room like you are meant to be there because you are. Speak up in instances where you have something to say because you do. Don’t listen to all of the background noise.
You have had the power all along to do whatever you set your mind to. You have the tools, the skills, the creativity, the knowledge all within you to be exactly what you want to be. Look inside yourself and use that power to create the life you have always dreamed of. You’ve got this!
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 heights is our lack of control of what happens when we are in high places. Our false evidence that says we are going to fall if we are up high.
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.
A fear of being alone is our lack of control of whether or not other people will stay in our lives or if they will leave.
In many cases fear is caused by our lack of control of things. In those instances we have a choice…
