If I had a penny for every time I heard “I wish” or “It’s not fair”, “if finances
where different”, you don’t know my
background” I think there are more
sayings but those are my top 3 for now I
know I’d be rolling in the dough. Why? Because making excuses is what we do
best. We are constantly passing the
blame onto our situations or our circumstances. But as I look at the above
excuses and so many more it’s hard not to think that those are just words that
need to be turned into actions. And I ask the questions, do you want something
different? Do you want change in your life? are you happy and comfortable in your daily excuses?
From personal experience I’m usually the one that wakes up
with the next idea in her head but I’m also the girl that spends a lot of my
day in conversations with myself about why it is not going to work or It’s a great
idea but…Why? I don’t want it bad
enough? No! Maybe it cost too much money? No, that’s not it, perhaps it seems
out of my field and I have to learn more about it? No, the issue is it takes
some work, some creativity and some time. Too often we want things to just
happen and that isn’t reality anything worth having usually takes time, a
marriage, a job, a home, your children. The time you put into something is directly
related to the outcome you receive, both positive and negative.
How do you spend your time? Is the focus on the things you
most want to achieve and nurture or are you sitting on the corner “dreaming” of
the next move the next big idea, but afraid to step up and take that first step
to walk out of your comfort zone and look head on into your goals and your
future. Stepping up is nothing new in
the research no big scientific data out there telling us how to accomplish things,
it come down to 3 simple steps:
2. ACTIONS - What steps are you going to take to get there (pay your bills on time? Complete that class you keep dropping out of? Stop the yo-yo diets and get a plan that works, stop the blame game and take responsibility for your own actions (you’re not 5 anymore) write your prayers & thoughts out, write out the bible verses that will hold you up when you’re ready to fall or the ones that assure you that you are on that path He has chosen, then write out your steps and your actions to reach that place.
3. ACTIVITY - Start moving in that direction – yes, you have to actually move from where you are and I know this is the hardest part, the physical action to take your steps out of your head and move your feet to get it done.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives u
s power,
love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
It doesn’t happen overnight but if you continue to actively
take those steps you will look back over time to see how far you’ve come and
the goals you have placed before you are coming into your reach and your life
is changing you will have no need for those excuses because you have stepped
outside of yourself and allowed God to direct, guide and be your comforter
through the entire process.
Start taking action for your future,
