Hi Faithful Few,

Here’s another motivational blog post that I launched last week. The first blog was titled “You’re Not Behind At All“… check it out and look forward to a new post each Monday.

So if you feel like you’re not making progress in life, here’s 3 reasons why:

1. You Lost Sight Of Your Why

Your purpose is about connecting the dots along the way and ensuring that you keep your focus, regardless of the hurdles that present themselves. You can always start over. You can always try again. You can always pick up a new passion or an old one. I revamped my Youtube channel over the weekend. I think I gave up on it because it takes so much work to manage and I couldn’t get over the 84 subscriber mark. So I went back to the drawing board to see what I could do differently and that was to promote my channel on all platforms, instead of relying solely on Twitter and my Instagram story. I’ve already had some new subscribers to my channel and I’m so grateful for each one. If you want to move forward in the right direction, you have to remember your why and allow it to motivate you. I challenge you to get back to your why and don’t entertain the things that don’t help push your why forward. If you’re moving backward it’s probably because your vision is not set on what it needs to be focused on.

2. Distractions Won’t Let You Be Great

I did not realize the hold that distractions can have on you being able to make progress. It’s so easy to assume that you’ll be able to ignore the distractions. But what I’ve learned is that the enemy recognizes that if it and its minions can’t get to you, it will use the things that you love and are obsessed with. Distractions can be the very things that you love and enjoy. I love TikTok and I enjoy scrolling and posting content there but if I’m not careful, I can spend an unnecessary amount of time there. Set boundaries that can apply to your professional and personal space. You need boundaries to be successful. You need boundaries to thrive. You need boundaries to protect your peace.

3. Fear of Failure is Holding You Back

Fear is powerful. The thought of failing has kept me for a long time playing to play it safe and not pursuing things that I’m passionate about. Fear has kept me from speaking opportunities. Fear has kept me from standing up for myself. Fear has kept me on the sidelines for far too long. I think there’s parts of me that fears what happens if I succeed. Or if what I have dreams and visions about actually comes to life. Or if being born a generational curse breaker is a role that I can’t actually run from. Trust me, I know that doing what’s not being done before by those that you know or doing what others don’t understand the why behind is slightly scary… But fear can only hold you back if you choose fear. Choose you and that should put fear in its place. I’m choosing fear over faith this year. I’m moving by faith in all areas. I’m doing so much scared but I’m so proud of me. Last year was tough on me (from being homeless to working two jobs to experiencing a traumatic event that I’m still not ready to speak on publicly yet) and I knew that if I made it out alive, there was a greater reason why. So I’m giving it my all this year. On December 31, I want to have no regrets. I hope this will push you to do the same.
