“Everyone has an idea, but it’s taking those first steps toward turning that idea into a reality that are always the toughest.” – Daymond John
Do you realize that not starting is the same as quitting?
How many ingenious ideas have you had that you perhaps shared with others but never actually pursued? We often talk about the big break we are waiting for in our lives … perhaps one of those fizzled-out ideas might just be that break-through you’re constantly waiting for.
Listen to your instincts! We all have this little voice in our heads or sentiments we feel inside that lead us to feel a certain way. Whether you discern it as bad or good, I believe that it’s important to listen to your gut feeling that you’ve developed over many years of experience. It must be there for a reason! Call it intuition, sixth sense, Holy Spirit or something else if you want to, it’s our experiences from our past, functioning on a memory-related stigma, encouraging us to improve as human beings.
The simplest way is not always the correct way! We will often have to endure the road less traveled, the mountain you’ll never want to climb, or the river you feel is impossible to cross. It is especially in these moments and those to follow that we need to listen to that reasoning within. The angel wafting in the mist behind you, whispering words that sound like they’re coming from inside your mind. Listen and follow your heart!
“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
- Psalms 23:4 NIV
Believe in yourself by listening to your heart, mind, and body as an entirety.
