How can you be fearless to find your purpose? By living life!
Live intentionally in each moment. Visiting the past or dreaming about the future are natural, but don’t live there. Life is now.
Be grateful. Write what you are grateful for every day. Go back and reread if you get down and doubtful.
Focus on the positive. Don’t dwell on negative circumstances or people. Let stuff go. Move on.
Love yourself, seriously, REALLY love yourself. Practice acceptance and self-care.
Take risks and try new things. It’s not about being good at it, it is about the experience and growth.
Life is about people, not things. Get out of your head and interact with others.
Stop allowing fear to rule your thoughts and decisions.
Be fearless!
Not a long list or any easy list. Each of us will have a challenge with one or more of these items. As humans, we make things complicated. Sometimes circumstances seem to make challenges insurmountable. Some days we feel strong and other days we can just make it out of bed. We all need days of both. It’s okay to not be okay. Still, we can strive to keep going, honestly engaging each day for what it is.
Got off track? No worries. Recalculate. Need a break? Rest, recharge, and refresh. Never forget God is with you and His promises are your reality based on faith and not performance.
Remember this: “God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24
I love what author Holley Gerth recently wrote in an email:
“If we want to be part of God’s purposes today, then we can start by simply loving him, others, and ourselves. That means standing at the kitchen sink washing dishes can be worship. It means that another diaper changed can be an act of sacred service. It means the work project done well can be an offering. It means we don’t have to find purpose only “out there.” It can also be “right here.”
