As you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t posted in a while. To keep it very real, I honestly felt like I couldn’t. I felt as though I was unqualified to do so. How can I be advising others when I haven’t got my life together? This self-doubt mentally paralysed me. Until I realised the power of a little. If we keep waiting until were “perfect” or at that stage where everything feels 100% right, we will never achieve anything.
A common misconception is that before we can embark on something new we must have everything we need. But that’s just not the case. To get anywhere requires a journey and that journey starts with a step. Along that journey is where we acquire what we need on the way.
Everything that grows starts with a seed. Never judge a seed by its size. You don’t always see the potential that in the seed you are carrying, but don’t let self-doubt stop you from sowing it anyway.
Don’t let self-doubt be a barrier, let it be a reminder that you need God.
When Moses asked God, “what makes me good enough?” God’s reply was “I will be with you” (Exodus 3).
Our strength is not in our ability but in the one who has sent us.
We cannot allow our perceived limitations stop us from even trying to get more out of this life. You already know the outcome of not believing so why not give believing a try?I’m the type of person who can be so scared of making the wrong move that I find it easier to not make any at all. And I’m sure I am not the only one.
But it’s time to get rid of the pressure of trying to design your life, when God has already designed one for you.
Your job isn’t to create your own purpose but to allow God to lead you to the one he has created.
Unlike us, he doesn’t make mistakes.
So if things aren’t going the way you’ve planned maybe to its time to ask God what he has planned. God does not expect us to do extraordinary things on our own that would defeat the purpose of needing him.
Our big dreams can be overwhelming and appear impossible. So instead of focusing on the big dream, lets focus on having a little courage to make that first step, a little faith (approximately the size of a mustard seed) in God, and a little belief that our best is good enough because our strength lies in God.
Is there something you wanted to do but felt unqualified to be doing? Let’s get out of the “I only have” mentality and start something great today!
With love always,
