How many of us are waiting for the right time, the right thing to say, the right weather, the right outfit, the right scenery - just waiting! We are in the moment letting time pass us by. Meanwhile, the next best version of us is standing by, waiting for that perfect moment to accomplish something great. I speak for myself because I recently found myself waiting for a perfect moment to move into my life.
I had an awakening when I realized I have been searching for a perfection that does not exist.
I found myself in a constant search for the nonexistent; therefore, never finding what I was looking for.
As I think about it, this sounds almost like the definition of insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." (A Must-Ponder Moment for Me)
I recently became a Certified Life Coach, an accomplishment I am proud of because at some point in my life, this reality was a "Maybe Someday Dream."
As I was completing my courses, the passionate side of me took over, and I created the website you find yourself in today.
After creating my blog, I did not upload a single thing. I have barely been keeping my Instagram alive.
The truth is many of my passions have gone stagnant because I was waiting for the perfect moment to step out and conquer. I was enjoying my stillness, a stillness that became a comfort for me.
In this place, I feel every emotions but yet; I am at peace with myself, causing me to be at peace with others. Comfortable, safe, and cuddled by life, I feel in the stillness.
I know that remaining in this comfort will hinder my growth. I know I need to uproot myself, replant myself, and receive the water and light I need to sprout.
1 Corinthians 3:6-9: I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters are anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
There are many reasons as to why I want to remain in my comfort, as there are many reasons why I know it is time to become uncomfortable. The turmoil in my mind and the decisions are mine.
Growth happens in the pruning.
John 15:1-2 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
I know that the unknown can be a place of uncertainty and feelings of anxiousness may take over. BUT Another thing I know is that I have not been given a spirt of fear but one of power, love and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1-7
Making a conscious decision to move towards my pruning and begin to share life through my blog is where I find myself today.
I hope my words and my day-to-days can resonate with you, inspire, and empower you.
I am not sure where the journey will take me, but life is meant to be lived, and I am saying yes to it all.
