 What 2 F’s Miriam?

 Feelings and Fear.

 These are the two frameworks that many of us are accustomed to being guided by. Fear isn’t always a bad thing, nor are your feelings. However, delay and discouragement become inevitable when they become the director of your day-to-day.  Why so?

Time isn’t something we’re going to get back, and we’re only getting older. Let me tell you that you were placed here for a divine purpose, and your destiny awaits you. However, many of us don’t allow ourselves to be developed because it takes discipline. Discipline is something that many of us struggle with.   We are on the struggle bus, where we become fixated on how we feel and make decisions from that place. If I don’t feel like exercising today, then I’m not going to do it. If I don’t feel like doing my homework or this paper, then I’m not going to do it. If I don’t feel like cleaning up my house or folding my clothes, then I may not do it. If I make decisions solely based on how I feel, I will fall short because I am not allowing perseverance to grow, nor am I nurturing the disciplined version of myself.

 On the other hand, is the other F. Fear.  If I fear stepping out of my comfort zone, I may not do it. If I fear going to the doctor because of what the report might say, then I may not do it. If I fear conversing with a loved one or my supervisor, I may not do it. If I fear starting a business or starting a new relationship, then I may not do it. If I allow fear to be my guide, then grief is inevitable because I am losing out on the very experiences that were meant for me. Sometimes we think we’re doing ourselves a favor by not embarking on new adventures. If I never have it, I won’t know what it feels like to lose it.

As a result, we may remain comfortable and complacent, not realizing that those opportunities are setups for lessons where growth is inevitable. Your destiny is contingent upon you growing through the challenges. Because every challenge is a lesson.  Your destiny encompasses you being the light in someone’s darkness.  Therefore, your lesson=light in somebody else’s darkness and also where you are meant to shine. 

We often treat failure like it is final,  but not knowing who you truly are and who you are meant to become is the real tragedy. Even Jesus said, Lord, not my will, but your will be done.  It is a daily choice to die to the false version of you and the part of you that is focused on temporary pleasures and comfort. .. So that you can become more committed to the true version of yourself. When you become more committed to the true version of yourself, transformation is inevitable. Success is inevitable. Growth is inevitable, and prosperity in every facet of your life is inevitable. Breaking the cycle of just going by your feelings or your fear necessitates support and accountability. Connecting yourself to someone beyond the cycle, like a coach or mentor, makes Progress inevitable. Do you get my drift? LOL 

Investing in your progress may include:

•  Healing from past hurts
• Forgiving those that have offended you
• Learning how to have healthy conversations
• Setting up goals in a  way that you can better succeed. 
• Understanding who you truly are.

Time isn’t something we’re going to get back, and we’re only getting older. Let today be the beginning of when you begin to steward yourself and what God has given you well. Many of us want more but do not take care of what we currently have. How will I sustain a healthy marriage if I don’t invest in regulating my emotions and healthy conflict resolution? If I’m not a good manager of my bank account now, how am I going to manage billions or millions later? It’s less about allowing your feelings or fear to guide you and more about progress in each area of your life.

Progress leads to promotion and prosperity. Sometimes we despise small beginnings, which is why we want quick fixes. However, you cannot microwave mastery. It needs to cook. It needs to marinate. It needs to be nurtured. And it’s in your investment and implementation of knowledge where you become a good steward. To whom much is given, much is required. We often look at other people and compare ourselves to their progress and transformation, not realizing they made investments. They hired a coach. They hired a trainer. They hired someone who could support them and keep them accountable. If you want to break the cycle, you need to connect with someone beyond it and allow consistency and your true version to develop.

Many of us need a supportive push to tap into the power and purpose that is on the inside of us.  Do you need a push?   Your transformation awaits you! Join our 7-Day Transformation Affirmation Challenge! Sign up below!
