Today I have been feeling like everything I do is just not good enough! Good enough compared to what you ask? Compared to the world? Compared to God? Compared to myself? What is it that can make a person feel like whatever they do is just not good enough?
True I am not perfect but I do have gifts and abilities that I know I can use and share yet I too sometimes have doubt when to use them because in my eyes they are not "perfect" or ready to be revealed.
Whenever I feel this way I have to look at what the word of God says concerning me. First and foremost I know that God has equipped me with everything that I need to succeed at whatever it is I chose to do if it is His will for me.
Philippians 4:13
If the bible says, I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me, then who am I to doubt?
Whether you believe the Lord or not I want you to know that God is saying you NEED to take a chance, you need to push. Step out on faith and believe that you can do more with your life. You can do anything you dream to do! Let God guide you. Don't allow self-doubt or others to make you doubt what God can do for you. Never be afraid to DREAM BIG. I have been telling this to friends, family and even strangers for years! Why? Because I truly don't believe that we were created to just work, pay bills, live life and die. Each of us were created with PURPOSE and God has made each one of us so unique. As I get to know more and more about myself, I realize that not only do I love to model, write poetry, blog, do makeup, draw, teach and dream but I love to motivate and inspire others! In fact, now that I think about it, I think that is one of things I love to do the most.
True, sometimes you have to find the strength to motivate and inspire yourself along the way but I get great satisfaction encouraging others to pursue their dreams and believe in themselves because sometimes that is just what we need to get motivated. I want you to know that God has a perfect plan for YOU. Yes, YOU! He loves you more than anyone in this world and I want you to know that fear and doubt are hindering spirits that cause you to second think what God is capable of doing in your life. If you could do it all on your own, you would be by now. Realize that you don't have to see the entire road to know that you are walking on a path, just like you don't need to see the entire staircase to take a step forward.
I am here today to remind anyone who may stumble across this page that the time is NOW. Stop saying to yourself you can't do this or you can't do that for whatever reason. You put the limitations on yourself. It is up to you to take what you have and use it to either push you forward or keep you in the same place. I know sometimes we don't have the time or the money to do all that we want, but don't let those things stop you, instead look for a different approach and make sure you stay prayerful and ask God for direction. I know sometimes we feel tired and unmotivated, but you have to push. Even a woman when she is ready to give birth, has to push for that baby to come out. Pushing takes energy...put energy into your dream and give birth to it! Yes, sometimes you want to wait until perfect conditions, but you gotta have some rain sometimes for seeds to grow...so encourage yourself! As I encourage myself today I hope I am encouraging you....U CAN DO IT (Insert your name here) Read it 3x!
Feeling motivated now? Ready let's go!
Listen, I have dreams and desires just like anyone else but I will no longer sit back criticizing my work so much so that I keep it all hidden to myself. I have tons of poetry to share, tons of photos and lesson plans, many ideas and goals in life....if I wait until perfection, it might never get done!
I want to make sure that before I die, I use all of God's gifts and bless someone else in the process for HIS glory because I am not mine own.
I am being random right now but I say all that to say, stop being so hard on yourself. Everything has it's starting point and with more practice and experience, you can only get better. SO fight back that hindering spirit with the word, put your faith into action and put your best foot forward. You can do this....for with God all things are possible!
I would love to hear from you! What is it that you would like to get moving on that maybe you have been putting off?
Peace, love & God Bless~Limarie
