There are people all over the world that wake up with fear daily, so you are not alone.
I come to encourage you and let you know that in spite of your current situation; you will overcome. Know there is hope for a brighter tomorrow and that you don’t have to remain where you are today.
It all starts to shift when you change your mind and from there you will begin to see things change in your life. It is important that you surround yourself with those that are positive and faith driven. Those that believe in exercising their faith and operating in their power within.
See, you have the power to change anything in your life that no longer serves a purpose. If you have people, places, or things that no longer serve a purpose in your life it is time to do an inventory of those things.
Start today by believing that there is nothing that you can’t achieve and it is then that you will begin to soar. It is vital that you surround yourself with positive energy at all times. Dreams cannot come to pass with a negative mindset.
You must learn to speak to your situation and with confidence knowing that no matter what it looks like; you will win. The relationships that you establish in life are vital for your personal growth and success. Remain encouraged and stay focused on your goals even through adversity. Be thankful for every trial that comes and know that they come to teach, strengthen, and build character. Be very careful who you go to for advice. Never solicit advice from those that are comfortable living at the bottom.
There will always be naysayers, but you must keep going regardless of what they may say to discourage you. Understand that you are not on this journey to be accepted, loved, or to win likes from everyone. You must have tough skin and do not allow fear to take you off your path to greatness.
When you learn what your assignment is in the earth know that everyone will not be able to handle the changes that will take place in your life. The calling that God has placed on your life is far greater than your temporary setback.
Lastly, live your life, remain humble, and most importantly have faith.
I asked two amazing women to give their take on faith. Kristian Brenneman of Toledo, Ohio and Katrina Brisbane of Knoxville, TN are both faith driven and positive women that live to empower others. Their lives are true examples of what it means to walk in faith and to live an abundant life.
Thank you, ladies, for being open to sharing your take on faith. I appreciate you both and continued success.
