Identifying and pursuing your ambitions is tough. There will be self doubt and wondering if you should really be doing this. It takes courage to keep going and clarity with self reflection to make sure you are on the right path.
Three Questions
- Who Are You?
- Where Are You?
- What Do You Want?
“Organizing your thoughts around these three questions will help you accomplish in the future what you haven’t been able to make happen in the past. They can be a cocktail of identity, desire, purpose, rejection, life experience, struggle, fear, hope, and longing rolled into one.”
“Start with acknowledging that deeper longing within you. If I had to take a guess, that’s why you’re here. You can feel it. I don’t even have to define what it is—you know exactly what I’m talking about. It is that “something more to life” rumbling around in your gut, that tug drawing you toward a scary, audacious dream.”
“Once we get real with where we actually are and our desperate need for God’s help, He’s got a person He can do something with, and He’ll drop the people you’ll need in your path to help. Your job is to find them.”
Finding that person usually comes when we least expect it. God’s plan was in motion before you even started to think about that dream. What is your job is to ask for help. This can be difficult especially if you are one of those independent people or maybe just have no idea where to even start. It starts with telling people about your dream. In order to that you have to be vulnerable and put yourself out there.
Yesterday was all about failure. “This is something that happens to our best ideas all the time. We’re so close to them, or we’ve ignored them for so long, that we can’t even see them for what they are anymore. Then just when we think we have corralled them, they change. When this happens, don’t get bummed out; get current with your new ambitions. I know it feels like a hassle, but it’s a good thing. We’re supposed to be new creations, and there will be nothing new about us if everything remains the same.”
“No more doing what merely occupies, entertains, and numbs us? It’s time to go after your dreams, your faith, and your ambitions with gusto.”
It’s Just Simply Time…..
