Pray About It & Just Do It

The mind is a powerful tool that can either help us or defeat us it is all about how productive we choose to be, in the same moment we make a choice it only takes a second to begin to procrastinate and delay. All in our mind we can have positive thoughts and we can have negative thoughts, we create stories that are self-defeating, and we also create stories that are elevating it is all a choice. The thing that most struggle with is self-discipline, being self-motivated, and having integrity with ourselves. For most it is easier to commit to things when we are under another person’s supervision, but it becomes difficult to commit simply because it is your dream. Why is the question that I used to ask, and it is simple there are a lot of people that lack the ability to manage their own time or be self-motivated to get things done? If the only motivating factor or reason in your life is money then you are living every day without purpose, your purpose cannot be bought your vision is something you have to commit to create. Money can motivate us but only for a short time because eventually we will learn that our time is priceless and doing things, we don’t love there is no amount of money that will fill that void. Money can also be the reason we never get started the first thing most will say when asked about their dreams is, they do not have the money to get started.

Why is it so common that most people will always say things like I do not know how, I do not have the right support system, I do not have the funds, and last and most popular one we do not have time. I used to sing a lot of those same songs that was the stories I created in my mind I allowed myself to see limits instead of possibilities. I believe that there comes a very defining moment in everyone’s life that can either make or break us, the choice in what we do when we get to that point in life where making a choice is a must. I can testify to how hard it was to be a new mother , a new wife , and unemployed at the same time with one income in my  home , the traditional way to think which sounds more realistic to most would be to continue to look for a job  and take the first thing we are offered which sometimes does not make much of a difference.  The reality for me was I had a choice to make I could sit and keep waiting for call or take something for little or I could get comfortable with being uncomfortable and create a life changing solution I chose to create a solution which came with a lot of sacrifices. I had to grow up and become a person that  had integrity with my words and to myself I had to learn to manage my time as well as I did when I was building someone else’s dreams , I had to commit to making time instead of waiting for the right moment I made every moment the perfect opportunity. Is it easy? no and it never gets easier because once I have mastered a level I am eager to take on new challenges to grow.

The question to everyone reading today is how much is your freedom and happiness worth? are you willing to settle for a price or be willing to sacrifice little now to grow and earn in purpose later.  I encourage everyone to get clear on what experiencing life and what it really   means to you live every moment like it is your last. Meditate and visualize on the life that you desire to live and how it would feel, and I want you to wake up everyday choosing to feel that excitement while you commit everyday to creating the life you dream of. The idea that you will be happy or excited when you get there does not encourage you to focus and commit, the choice to be excited right now and choosing to live in gratitude is what will guide us. Choosing happiness and gratitude now is the secret to true success being in a state of contentment with the drive to create something that is bigger than just you, is a blessing and a responsibility we all have. Be obedient to God’s calling for our life but most importantly be prepared to be tested, experience growth, overcome obstacles, win victories, learn from the lessons, and taking action to JUST DO IT.  Pray first get in motion, be happy now, work with purpose and gratitude.
