Don't settle for average

 

I talk to God almost every single day and one of my main prayer request of recent has been for God to reveal to me why I am here. What is my purpose? What is my calling? It’s good to have things going for you, opportunities coming your way, doors opening, but it means nothing if God is not behind it. It means nothing if it’s not in Gods will for you. It’s not fully clear what Gods will for each individual is but what we do know is that God has a plan for us all and he wants us to prosper. He won’t leave us to figure it out on our own, he will direct us. What I’ve realised is that when it comes to God revealing things to us he shows it one step at a time. Therefore, we just have to keep praying to him, seeking him and letting him lead the way for us. Taking the days as they come and thanking him for it.

I don’t want my successes or my achievements to be worthless. I want God to be behind and for everything that I choose to do, that is why I pray.

Not long after that prayer request, another prayer came to mind. I spoke to God again and I told him, I don’t want to be average in this life. I want my life to be meaningful. I don’t want to be here for the sake of it. Surely there is more to life than the life we know. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy with where I currently am. I feel like even during a pandemic, doors have been opening for me. I feel like I’m in the right place at the right time, doing what makes me feel happy, whilst still striving and working towards the next step. But what can I do next? What else is there to discover? What more can I learn?

One thing I’ve learnt is that you should never stay comfortable with where you’re at even if it does make you content because there is so much more out there that has not been exposed to you yet. Not just looking on the outside but inwardly, there is so much talents and abilities within you that you don’t even know about. If you’re reading this, take this as a sign that whether you are in a good place or not there is so much more work to be done. So much more you can learn from life, so much more you can learn about yourself, so much more that you can achieve.

There are going to be days where you feel like giving up. I’ve had those days and more of those days will most probably come because its normal to feel like that, but don’t let one or two bad days stop you completely. You’ve got to keep going. Push for greatness and nothing less. Don’t stop striving for the best. The sky is not the limit, you can go above and beyond.

    That’s a good message. If we open the book of our life to God, He will rewrite it for greatness.

    “The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

    I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.”
    ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16:6, 8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Change

In life there is always going to be change whether we like it or not. Seasons change, your circle of friends change, your surroundings change, you even change. Your mindset elevates, you develop a better understanding of certain things that you couldn’t quite comprehend before.   Change is all apart of life. It is inevitable. Even though we don’t see it at the time, change helps us as individuals to develop into the person we are called to be. It pushes us closer to our purpose. Change is necessary for growth.  However, change doesn’t always feel good and can be looked at in a negative light. Sometimes we don’t like change, especially when we’re comfortable. Change removes that feeling of comfort, it removes that feeling of certainty and stability. Change is unknowing and can create feelings of anxiety and worrisome. Change is something that happens daily but can be very hard to cope with.  Though change can be an uncomfortable experience, it is essential. We may not unde...

Rejection is redirection

So we are almost 6 months into the year 2021! Crazy how times flies. To whoever is reading this. I hope this year so far has been nothing but a blessing to you. I know it’s been a hard start to the year concerning covid, however, now that everything has slowly eased, I hope you’re making the most out of it. I hope you’re enjoying yourself to the fullest and making every single day count. I hope you’re still working on the goals you set for yourself at the start of the year, and I hope you’re achieving them or will achieve them soon!   This year for me so far involves, having as much fun as possible whilst figuring out the best pathway for me. Since the beginning of the year I’ve had to make really important decisions for myself. I really did think I finally had it all planned out with deciding to go to Eastbourne, work and continue my studies (please read my first blog: “2021 the year of allowing God to work in my life”) but as we know life has a funny way of doing what it does bes...
