Confession: If left alone in a room, for too long, I used to run out screaming...as if being chased. I was 4. I did this because I saw things. In my 4-year-old mind, those things were really there.
My overactive childhood imagination is not unlike some of our adult mindsets. Our mental movies play out horrible scenarios; whether real or imagined. We run to and fro, from whatever we think is chasing us. We mistakenly call it...life.
No longer children, our "running" actually sounds like maturity, rationalization or "spiritualization." Some of us are literally "running for our lives" on a treadmill of fear; afraid of the life we don't want, so we actually don't live. We have become paralyzed by those images and fool ourselves into thinking we are living but we are just moving our lips.
Last year, I realized I had two things in conflict: a big dream and a big block. It took a while before I realized that all my reasoning sounded a lot like that little 4-year-old voice, who screamed "RUN! I recently stopped running from the shadows, for a moment. When I did, I heard..."What if the thing you are running from is actually the provision for the vision of your big dream?
Selah.
I would like to report that question was enough to make me stop running. But this is not a sitcom. It is a messy path of growth, development and vulnerability. It has sobered me and made me willing. And now, I am receiving specific offers in the area of my vulnerability.
Yay, right?
So I am on this journey with you. I intend to be my best client. But I want my clients to exceed my best. I have no idea what that looks like, but I would rather set a steady pace toward success than run scared for the rest of my life. I heard somewhere that "success leaves clues." Encouraging...
I hope to see you on the other side of your fears as well.
