I have found that it is more "comfortable" to live inside of the box. In addition to that, you have people who hinder your personal growth. So instead of stepping out on faith, and making my dreams reality, I stayed in my comfort zone. What I found is that I was not comfortable. I was only settling because it seemed like the most realistic thing to do. It dawned on me that the only difference between me and Oprah, is the fact that she stepped outside of the box. So I asked myself, what do I have to lose. The answer was nothing. Then I dealt with the fear of failing. But I had to speak victory into myself, and stop allowing the thought of failure to hold me back. Because even if things dont flourish the way you expect them to, it is not failing. Failing is when you dont continue to try. Most people who are living their dreams, have had to do things over and over before they finally got it right.
What in the world are you waiting for?" A question I've often asked myself. At first, I was waiting for my ex-husband to realize that he had made a mistake when he walked out on me. Though the stress and strain of being married to an unfaithful, unloving, deceitful man was literally draining the life out of me; it was the only life I knew. Well, the 17th of this month marks one year that we've been divorced. When I think back on the 8 years that we were married, I see now that we only shared moments of being husband and wife. He has moved on as though I'm told but I find myself all too often living in the past. Missing what I thought I had, instead of making that most of what I have. I've decided to come from behind the mask. I want to be WHOLE so that I can LIVE! Not in the shadow of who I used to be but in the fullness of whom God has created me to be. In waiting I've learned that TIME continues to go on. Let not your "Waiting" be predicated on anything other than God's will for your life.
Nothing. We don't know where to begin. Because we are so broad minded we don't give ourselves the opportunity to focus and take the next step. Being broadminded is good, this is where our creativity comes from but we need those tunnel vision attributes to focus and be confident to take the next step for our success. Its like stepping out on faith. 'Ain't nothing to it but to do it' Deborah
