Are you holding yourself back?

Are you giving only 50% of your potential?  Are you always thinking about what other people will say about you?  Are you wondering why you don't get the recognition from peers, friends or family members when you are progressing in life?  

I know that it may be a hard pill to swallow but unfortunately this happens to us all.  We find that those you want the support from are no where to be found.  You see that nothing you do is being celebrated by those you would hope would support you and you find yourself in this weird space.  The space that makes you not want to showcase what your doing, a place where you don't fully give your all in fear of rejection or none acknowledgement.

What  I want to tell you is this STOP THINKING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE.  Start thinking about yourself.  There is nothing wrong with being selfish and focusing on you and what you want to do.   This is the unfortunate nature of human beings and the lack of consistency or envy that arises in people you would least expect it from.

Stop holding yourself back and start living your life as only you will be the one that will regret not fulfilling your hearts desires.

Listen in as we explore this together.

Be Blessed

Like what is stopping us from living. I m an for myself, I know for m ny years, I was thinking so m ch about what other people w re gonna think of me, I as thinking so much about not o er shining other people I as drinking about, you know, my life being looked at as if it was some perfect picture, w en how it was not, my life is ot perfect, and it has never b en perfect. But one thing is or sure, I know when I want to do something, when I put my mind on something when I trust God, w en I walk in faith, when I beli ve in Him, when I know that he is leading and directing my pa h. It's not me. It's not me i's not in my control is not my power is not my mind is not ny of that. It is God that is leading me Is God that is directing my steps and I'm j st walking in it. I'm just be ng obedient in it via that peo le don't like it, they do't understand it. They may ot communicate with me anymo e. They may not understand wh re I'm going in my life, they ay have jealousy, what I do't really care what it may be. ut all I know is that I have o ly done what I believe is in my heart. And I've done wha I believe with being a direct on and directive of God. So'm oxen and urging all of you to stop holding yourself back, et out of your head, your mind is telling you things that are ot even true. Most of the thi gs that we speak to ourselves ab ut are against us from doing he thing that we are doing is ot even true. The facts are ot even true. If you just too a moment, or wrote wrote down he thoughts that are in your m nd right now. Write down all he thoughts that are holding ou back right now. And I want ou to look at that statement. L ok at that piece of paper and t ll yourself does any of this r ng true for you? Is any of thi a factual piece of evidence t at is in your life that speaks to who you are speaks to where ou want to go. And I'm going to tell you that for the major ty of that piece of paper 98% 9% of that information is false is not true. is not what you tr ly want is not what you tr ly believe of yourself is what as been imposed onto you is w at has been spoken against you is what you have conditioned y ur mind to think is what you h ve seen as your limitations in life. There is no limitation he sky is the limit. Literally if you do not look at our pp outside of yourself. If you do not look outside of your mi d, if you do not look outside of your situation, you will be stuck. I'm telling you Noth ng will change. Your life will ot change. You cannot complain ou cannot moan you cannot look at other people's lives. And s I wish that was me. Could you ot do an anything to change it? If you're not doing anything to change it don't expect anyth ng to change. And I do say th t, you know, they do say that if you keep thinking the same th ng over and over again nd expecting a different resu t. And it's quotes on it an I can't think of it right now. ou will get the same result all he time. insanity. insanity is thinking that you're gonna k ep doing the same thing and rece ve it is different result nd that's not the truth is going to be the same, nothing's going to change your life is going to remain the same. It is the y ar it is right now and it will be the year is in 10 years from ow being the same, you will h ve the same compensation, you w ll have the same way of think ng unless you make the changes t at are needed to change he trajectory of your life nd trust and believe that God is going to get you where you n ed to be. So I'm on here today to encourage you to get out of y ur head. I'm encouraging you to et out of your way. I'm encourag ng you to stop keeping yours lf back and push forward. Whate er that direction is for your li e. Go for it open yourself up fo I feel in my heart, I feel in my soul that I need to do what'm doing right now. Because i's the direction that God had ed me to do and whether I'm re dy for it wherever I believe I h ve all I need for I don't care at this point. All I know is'm open for God to do a move nd act the way that he needs me to be right now in this season. nd I'm going to give Him the glo y. And I'm going to stay in it. nd I'm going to be obedient and nd I'm going to remain in it because I know that's where my faith lies. I know where God as worked the best is when I ay and trust in Him wholehearte ly purely because I believe in h m. So I'm encouraging you today to stop stopping yourself. Get ut of your way, move and dir ct your life the way in which ou want it to be and know t at nothing will change unless ou change it. So let's w rk together to become bet er versions of ourselves. Le's continue to action, the th ng that we need to do in order or change to happen. And let's ot be afraid, guys, let's not be afraid. Fair is nothing fair is what gets us nowhere.
