We've all heard it said that . . . it could be worse
That is a true statement for all of us. If you could see into your neighbor's home, you would most likely see that not everything in their life is always sunshine and roses.
But the fact of the matter is people only show us what they want us to see.
There are only a few people who know what we really think and how we really feel on a day-to-day basis. Most times, if we're not careful, our thinking and feelings will be based on whatever we are going through at the moment. The challenges that we are facing. The new promotion. The "no's" that we are hearing. The unanswered prayers. The news of a new baby on the way. The unfavorable outcome. The marriage proposal. Etc. Etc. Etc.
How we feel and what we think is based on our perception of the situation that we are facing.
this will and does vary from person to person.
With this thought in mind, let's look back at our original thought: What are our lives saying about where we are and where we are going?
The simple and most general answer is god only knows.
But if we dig deeper, our lives are telling us more than that.
I struggle with how to keep this short and simple without writing another dissertation. So, for the sake of time and to make sure that this is a brief conversation I will simply say that your life is showing you that you cannot stay where you are because where you are going is greater than you could ever imagine.
you are not going through something, you're growing through something
Right now, you're uncomfortable, dissatisfied, and ready for a change. You're not understanding why you can't find peace. These things are a wake-up call that you need to move from where you are to the next thing that is awaiting you. Sometimes, you will be forced to make a change. But know this, everything that you will ever encounter is always leading you to the next level, the next great thing.
you have to begin to see it this way (perception).
Your "seeing" affects your feelings and your actions. You need to begin to act in a way that says that where you are right now, be it emotionally, financially, or relationally, (or any other -ly) is only a part of your journey and not your stopping place (unless you let it be).
what is your life saying about where you are and where you are going?
Move.
grow.
change.
elevate.
go after it.
don't be satisfied.
there is more for you.
what are you waiting for?
You're being called to a higher place. A greater place. The next place. So Go.
