What You Didn't Realize That's Stopping You From Greatness
"Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be." —Rick Warren
A lot of people will live their lives and never find it...Why? Here's a few reasons why..
Letting GO of the past has a lot to do with one's future and how they perceive their future and even themselves. It says in the Bible to let go..
Isaiah 43:18-19
“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.This is written in the Bible because to many people never let go of the past. They are so broken from it that they let it reflect their future. THIS COMPLETELY STOPS YOU FROM MOVING TOWARDS YOUR PASSIONS AND FINDING THE REASON WHY YOU ARE HERE.
Some people will never say sorry, they will never understand... You will wait around for an apology forever. Forgive them anyways so you can move on so you can have peace. Stop letting people take that away from you!
One person hurt the hell out of me. It took them 2 years to finally come around and say sorry. What if I lived those two years bitter, and angered...going to sleep questioning everything? They would have took parts of those two years away from me! OPEN YOUR EYES the devil works in mysterious ways just as God does for the good! Don't be asleep on his deception!
Your friends. Are they really your friends? Do they care about your future? Do they want to see you win as much as they want to see themselves win? Nobody's perfect but it's obvious to see how many times we lose friends out of nowhere and get betrayed. I have heard endless of stories. These friends are your literal back bone. People you go to in secret with your whole life. You know, one person can succeed so much better when they have a true support system behind them. People lose friends and never trust anyone again and stay completely one deep bittered with everyone and keep EVERYTHING INSIDE. That isn't healthy either. That's where, again, God comes in and with just a simple request of real friends, He will give them to you. PS. God is a great best friend lol just saying, his loyalty just runs so deep.....I just can't even lolololol
That dang 4 letter word...
Passion is deep. Passion takes true want, just like passionately loving someone and doing anything for them. It's crazy to think about how SO MANY people fall passionately in love with someone, usually the wrong person, but yet can't passionately fall in love with life or themselves. We all seek companionship and support, but I can promise you that if you don't love yourself first the relationship will only end up a lesson learned. If I could give any advice on love it would be that. I never loved myself first. My heart is so big that I only cared about their happiness and not mine. You think you're doing the right thing by staying down for them and giving, giving, giving, but you're only betraying your own self. Don't forget that you HAVE to live with yourself the rest of your life lol so treat yourself right. KNOW YO WORTH.
Love will keep you from finding yourself because you will be finding a whole other person out! Do you know how much work that is lol.
The good thing is you will learn many lessons from it. I was so stubborn, I never learned any of my lessons until I learned love from God. Love is my weakness. Please care for yourself and see bad when it comes! Not everyone is for you! Only 1 out of billions! So take your time! Learn to love yourself in the meantime!
With all my love experience, I'm going to be real..God taught me true love. He taught me how much I'm worth, and I have all faith that He will align me with the man of my dreams and more.
Not going out of your comfort zone.
People may be excited and in wonder of what they are here for but never take the time do do things that they never have done. I use to think my passion was for business and entrepreneurship because my dad raised me to have a hustle mindset. When I got to college, I was still young minded of course, but I took every single opportunity that came my way. I just believe strongly that everything leads to something else. Not every opportunity is going to work but you never not gain anything. After so many, you begin to learn people, learn life, learn whats real and what's fake. I learned that I love people and my passion is in being there for people and
lifting them out of the darkness they may be in. Everyone has potential, I can see it. Sometimes we just need help finding it.
If you stay in your comfort doing the same thing over and over and not going just OUT into the world........What will you learn? You are a beautiful being! Have many trial and errors in the world...Let the world see how beautiful you are, how you crave excellence, how you crave life itself and what it has to offer...
FEAR
The only way to becoming fearless, is to face all your fears. Honestly for me, I have been able to do this only because I have so much faith and such a strong relationship with God that that allows be to be fearless. I only fear Him, so why would I need to fear anything on this mere world? I'm telling y'all God is the truth and everything leads back to Him. If you want to be fearless and up for anything He is the best way to get this skill. People fear what they don't know or aren't use to it. You can't always believe what everyone else says, unless you know that the person is wise and knowledgeable. TAKE RISKS, mostly while your young. Live free doesn't just mean have fun everyday and do whatever you feel like..Live free means being free from what the world says, opening yourself up wisely to life, and to always be looking forward, not being locked up in negativity.
Psalm 27: 1-3
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.

Psalm 27: 1-3
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
Also, DON'T BE OF THE NORM. This is hard because truly, I don't care what anybody says,
everybody likes do do what everybody's doing. And when you do try to be different you get weird looks, well of course! But that's wonderful!! If you keep doing what everybody else is doing, the world then shapes your future, mind, passions, and goals. And you won't even realize it.
I do the most random things, I'm down for whatever and with that I have learned so much about myself. Literally don't care what anybody thinks of you. When you go to people for advice, go to actual people you look up to. You don't need to explain anything to anyone. When you know you're real, your actions show that not your words. God is the only one you need to worry about judging you. When people seek arguments with you and you find that it's actually petty and irrelevant to next week, month, or year... simply learn the "Okay".
Example:
Karen-"OMG Veneesha YADA YADaYADA, you just hfiwhanfiowbngfw, like fiorw;ghrenfgrueg, you really need to firnfiagrreujklbgwi;oa, because you are just so rnenrthkjtneirnjf.
Veneesha-"Okay Karen"
If you would like to add some other things..."If that's how you feel".."Well Karen, I hope you have a great rest of the day."
Lol but seriously...
It saves you annoyance, energy, and peace. I know its tempting to get right back on their tail, but know that it really doesn't matter lol...they don't care what you have to say. They just want you to be frustrated, they don't want to hear you out.
OUT OF ALL THIS
Spend time alone...evaluating everything. We all have earthly eyes that see the world. But too many eyes of the souls are closed. Wake your soul up so it can shine like God intends it too! He wants you to see that you are so special in His eyes, He wants to reveal so much to you, but until you get right with yourself, if He was to tell you , you wouldn't understand. YOU ARE YOUR BIGGEST ASSET!!!
You have no idea what you have the capability to do in this life...It may even scare you how powerful you really could be if you just took the time to grow. Focus my loves...because man, you will be great. This life of yours can either be draining or thriving. It's YOUR CHOICE.
