The first step is to realize your current state. Where are you on your journey? Are you in a rut? Do you feel stuck? Are you lacking direction? Are you confused? Are you making less than desirable choices? These are signs of being out of focus and un-centered. If you are working to achieve any goal personal, career etc. The most important characteristics to find your success any way in which you define that are as follows: Focus, discipline, passion, unwavering determination and true conviction.
I’m in this place of wanting to reach a certain destination so badly. However, my lack of motivation and focus is hindering me. I get in this place where I feel overwhelmed and then I’m unsure of my next steps. I allow other things in my life to distract me so that I can avoid what I say I want to accomplish. This is the thing…your interests are ever changing. However, God blesses you with points of passion. Gifts He gives you which may evolve but are rooted in something. You will do yourself, Him, the universe a dis-service if you do not run after that thing He his pushing you towards. You may not have all the answers, you may not understand how you will get to the end point. What is certain is that if you open yourself up to just be used by Him, He will open those doors for you. You don’t have to control every single step of your Journey. Faith is real and necessary in any journey. He designed your journey in such a way that you will not know what may come next but it will always be necessary for your success. Everything you go through is to strengthen an important character trait necessary for your success.
I am unsure, humbled, frustrated and anxious. But even in all this I am at peace. I am at peace because I know that I am protected, my journey is protected if it is the last thing I do literally, my goals will be reached. I have to come to a place of understanding that taking everything one day at a time is the only way I will not be overwhelmed, discouraged, confused etc.
My center will only be found by seeking direction, peace and understanding that I am on a constant journey that has the opportunity for all types of wonderful experiences. My motivation and drive have to be unwavering.
