When you wake up in the morning, are you excited?
Whether you’re the type who lives life in the fast lane or pace yourself, few people are not busy. Do you find purpose from being busy with so many projects? Or are you busy living with purpose?
When you live with purpose, with a vision, you can see further than you are. This helps you focus on the bright side of the future.
I believe you and I should not focus on being so busy but occupied with our life goals—serving others where we believe we should. When a person lives with purpose, it’s so easy to stay up till late and get up early. It’s because you live with passion.
However, it doesn’t matter how purposeful you and I are, what if I tell you that your vision has an enemy? Opposition can slow down what you’re trying to do. Worse, if you don’t apply wisdom, it can stop you from moving forward.
Adverse circumstances can show up. It can disturb and distract. So you and I have to watch. Watch so nothing will throw us off course. To stay on course, it’s important to watch for discouragement.
Know what motivates you and work on yourself. Stay motivated. Boost up your faith.
People
People are beautiful. How can we live without them? Some may not understand where you’re going in life. They want you to live the way you’ve been living for years. To see you change and embrace what you were born for, it can make them feel fearful for you. What are you going to do when this happens?
I feel
Not only can those who don’t understand you send some negative vibes your way, but it can be your own emotion. So manage your emotions. Embrace self-discipline.
While a person may have goals to achieve towards their vision, not all goals are easy. To do what you’ve never done before, it takes more out of you. It’s a challenge! However, if you try to live in your comfort zone, you won’t change and things won’t happen. Putting the feet forward in the ‘uncomfortable zone’ can also bring fear.
To ease you into fulfilling God’s purposes on your life, grace will relieve you in the ‘uncomfortable zone’. Grace does not mean easy work. It means easing you into making things happen. To receive grace, we need to lean on God who empowers us to be all we can be.
Wrapping it up
Regardless of what opposes us – people, our emotions, something spiritual or a physical challenge, staying on course is a decision. Stay focused on the big picture. Even if you and I fall, let’s rise again as soon as possible.
ACTION:
Reflect on this phrase, “For though the righteous man falls seven, they rise again…” Proverb 24:16
Life happens. Yet, if you’re committed to your vision, you’ll overcome and stay on course. What is driving you to stay committed to your vision? Share in the comments.
