Are you chronically sad and waiting on someone to solve your problem?
Are you consistently overwhelmed and waiting on someone to worry about it for you?
Are you the one with the long face who is secretly upset because everyone seems to ignore your long face?
Maybe you are surrounded by a bunch of self-centered people who just don’t care enough about you; or maybe you are surround by a family and friends who are just absorbed in their own lives but who are also waiting on you to take the bull the horn and live your life! What if everyone is not against us, but we are just not for ourselves.
We shape our lives, and though people have opinions about it and fears about how our decisions will affect them, we are still in charge of our own joy. So, what would happen if you became your own knight in shining armor.? What if you turned off the tape of all the reasons why it won’t work and turned yourself onto your solution. Every body’s situation is different. Chances are there is no one more qualified to fix your life than you and God. You could begin by getting some help to
Address the stinking thinking that holds you back.
Chances are that you are the kind of person who says, “I know how to pray,” in a tone of voice that lets the people around you know that you are not only a ‘pray-er’ but an expert. And they are to never offer you advice in the prayer realm again. You are the champion in this area. You give the advice, not take it. (If you are nodding your head yes, and that’s how you feel and act, then there’s a problem. Chances are, it’s you and not primarily the people you deal with. I would diagnose it as a case of debilitating-I-know-better-than-you-PRIDE! And it’s catching, so you need a cure quick! My hospital of choice is a dose of scriptures on pride so that I can know exactly what God thinks about it and sound message from a minister who lives what he/she teaches (that way I don’t have to find all the scriptures on my own, because they have done it for me. Now, all I need to do is study it.)
Once you are free of that pride thing, then you can get some stuff done. Pride has an uncanny relationship with fear. Alot of times prideful people are attempting to overcome a real emotional fear with a insincere, sense of power and authority. When the only real power is an overflow of the Love that you tap into. It flows from God right into your spirit and right out into the framework of your life. And through the process of Love, everything in you gets dealt with, and I mean really dealt with. This includes all of our pride issues, all of our fears, all of our desires, all of our pain. The best relationships require honesty, us getting real with our partners, and this time that partner is God. “Yes Lord, I can deal with you dealing me, all of me.”
Once we get our minds straight, we can see how to make the impossible a reality as it relates to the business of living the dream.
It’s time to recapture our F-R-E-E-D-O-M, get a divorce from our fears, and shut up with all the complaining (and excuses). Let’s live, because ‘ain’t nobody gon’ do it for us.
