Reminding Yourself of You…
Sometimes we get confused, just plain lost. We forget who we are, why we’re here, and what we’re supposed to be up to.
This happens for a few reasons:
Fear that we’ll fail - Nothing like the good old fear that we’ll just really suck at being us
Too many voices - from parents, to teachers, to bosses, to mentors, and friends; it seems that everyone has opinion of who we are. Sometimes these opinions are helpful, sometimes they’re driven by control, so learn to discern
The “good enough” principle - we start doing the good things, the close enough things, the right in front of us now things. This isn’t necessarily always bad, but we can actually lose out on the real thing we’ve been called to
Laziness - occasionally we need a good swift kick in the butt (so consider this yours if you’re in need)
Here’s a few triggers to get us moving in the right direction:
Stay in the Spirit - keep praying in the Spirit, it really helps to block out the other voices
Prophecy over yourself - speak truth about who and what you are, remind yourself the prophecies that have been spoken over you by others
Stay connected with people who bring out the best in you - we all need people who will tell us the truth about how we’re really functioning and progressing
Get around leaders who have a habit of getting people to maturity and destiny - avoid at all costs big promises from people who won’t get their hands dirty with your messiness.
Learn to be thankful for every open door - your future’s directly impacted by your gratefulness
