"Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it" -Bill Cosby
That is my life motto as I submerge myself into different endeavors. These words come from comedian Bill Cosby, and serve to remind us that we're not willing to truly take important risks until our desire for what we want surpasses the fear of potential failure.
I have these constant thoughts of what I could accomplish but then I start to compare myself to other people. I doubt myself, encourage others and forget what God has called me to do. This past week I had to attend a week long Residency/Immersion with my cohort. My first class stuck with me the entire time. It challenged my Faith and my fears. It showed me that I was depending on man to validate my calling when my actual calling comes from God and God alone. For some odd reason I started to equate the validation of a human being with the favor of God. So I took a step back and I told myself that it was time to face facts and fears and press forward to what God has called me to do.
So with 140 days to go. I am still on this journey to 25. Looking for renewal. Focusing on the future and building this amazing space for children, youth, and adults a like. Stayed tuned. A 5K is on the horizon.
What fears are eating you alive? How can you overcome them? Lets love each other family.
