Have you ever been so determined to work toward something that seems unattainable, even for yourself? Yet you KNOW it’s possible to “get there”? Let this be an encouraging message, and let it serve as confirmation that you are on the right track.
When it comes to pursuing something new, a little help from peers working on something similar or just as challenging can make a difference in your working on your plan. Even when someone in your corner is cheering you on helps too. However, the biggest difference-maker is when you hear a confirmative message from God! That’s when you know you are on the right track, no matter how scary it seems to keep going.
Self-doubt sets up camp when your tendency is to retract a little. You may ask yourself, “my end goal is doable…right?” Mind you, that’s okay. however, don’t allow yourself to camp there long. This is where your limiting beliefs, raise a flag that says “comfort” or safe”; again I strongly suggest you don’t let them set up camp.
Truth Time!
2 Timothy 1:7 says “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.”
Do you see how things like self-doubt, self-sabotage, fear, and guilt don’t belong?
Return to the determination
Now, what about that initial determination? Is it rooted in a personal pursuit or a push from the Holy Spirit “to do that thing”?
Suggestion: Read that again and chew on it a minute before continuing.
Now, look did self-doubt creep in? If yes, then it airs more on the side of personal pursuit & you will need to dig deeper.
No self-doubt or other voices/feelings prompt you to slow your roll? Awesome! It’s likely to be a determination rooting in the Holy Spirit.
Now ask yourself, “is it in your “comfortable” nature that’s caused you to either slow your roll because it’s unfamiliar territory you’re facing? Or is it because you got comfortable and the Lord is leading you to a different place?
Suggestion: Bring it to God
He’s the one who put this audacious-like dream in your heart. He knows what you are capable of.
The way to get there is likely to take tools you will need to learn a few new things.
Rest assured (even in your nervousness) that He will equip you with:
– His perspective of you and your capabilities. That alone has endless potential for strength to overcome fear, self-sabotage, or guilt, and that He wants to walk alongside you through it.
– the courage for it to be attainable, despite your limiting beliefs.
– a voice that’s authentic for you to communicate your message and needs.
– someone who is qualified to come alongside you for accountability
Why?
Because you are worth it! He knows it, and I have a feeling you know it too.
How it serves as confirmation
God can only speak the truth! And in His will and His timing, you will know when to act on your determination. He will also lead you to learn more. Consider it a gift of confidence that comes from Him alone.
He will put the right message at the right time into the right mouth (sometimes more) to get you moving.
