It's Possible
Just don't.
That's been my thought process every day the past 3 weeks.
Breakthrough after breakthrough, and yet I can't keep up with emails, behind on texts, feel like I'm not doing enough, not creating enough value, etc....
But I know I can't quit.
So I've been thinking about what's kept me going, like mentally, because that's been the battle this week - mental battle after mental battle.
I think I would sum it up like this....
It's critical to see each problem, situation, circumstance, opportunity, vision... not as impossible, but rather to believe that it IS possible.
Just maybe not the way I thought it would take shape.
Reframe the expectation from...
"[THIS] is how it will be possible"
To....
"I know it's possible, and I'm willing to reiterate as many times as it takes to achieve the [vision, solution, etc.]"
I've been holding on to the process, rather than the vision.
Instead of letting go of the process, and ruthlessly maintaining the vision, I often get caught up in the daily grind, which obviously will get anyone down.
But when I put my head down, whether at 8a, 1p, 4p, 9p, 1a.... I'm able to REALIZE (like bring into reality) the vision, but only when I believe it's possible.
The second I doubt the possibility - immediate backsliding and failure.
A friend told me, about something I was pursuing a while back, that if I went for it, it would happen - if I didn't, then it wouldn't.
We achieve what we set out to achieve.
And I thought about that and realized that it's true.
I've been holding back wondering "is this [whatever it is] what God wants for me???"
And then waiting for Him to do something about it for me.
Instead of realizing that it's the heart of everything I do that needs surrendered to God and checking daily.
Are my priorities right?
Are my motives pure?
Are my visions clear and aligned with God's word?
Whatever I believe is possible - and set out to accomplish with that belief - WILL happen.
The real question is, are those visions, motives, desires, and priorities aligned with God?
If so, then shoot, full steam ahead.
God takes care of the details we can't.
He does a lot more than that, actually. 🙃
So yeah - this week, I'm choosing to believe for the impossible.
Praising God for every win (they are all because of Him and for Him).
And asking for a searching of my heart each day - I know there are parts that still need sanctified (cleaned up and changed).
