Success Doesn’t Mean Doing It All
Feeling overwhelmed by the details of making a major career change or starting a new business? You’re not alone. In this post, I share how aligning your strengths and skills with your goals can help you find success without burnout. Inspired by Proverbs 23:4, discover why you don’t have to do everything to achieve success—and how discernment and focus can lead to a more fulfilling, impactful life.
A Season of Rest
AND I know God is calling me to create a slower-paced summer schedule. To put aside MY goals and focus on HIS plan… which is very hard for me to do!
I feel Him whisper - write, and rest…
But yet, If I’m being super honest, I've been resisting his call!
I want to set and achieve big goals again… but every time I try, God holds me back and whispers… Rest and Write…
It doesn’t make sense to me… Shouldn’t I work harder to build a business that has been waiting for me to sail down the coast and get settled? Isn’t now the time to work?
A Mind-blowing Story of Manifesting Your Dream Life!
Manifesting what you want in life!
It’s woo-woo, out there and a little hard to understand. In 2006, we all learned about manifesting and the Law of Attraction from The Secret—remember watching that? Thousands of gurus are talking about it on YouTube and social media today!
I don’t understand it, but I also don’t understand electricity, how a cell phone can let me talk to my dad 1000 miles away in real-time, or how TV pixels travel through space—I just trust that when I flip a switch, answer my phone, or turn on the TV, they will work!
It’s the same with visioneering and manifesting what you want—you don’t have to understand it to appreciate and trust that it works!
