Frederick Douglass said, “Without a Struggle, there can be no Progress." So true!Trees don’t become mature overnight. There are years of maturing, development, pruning & weathering required for said tree to stand rooted, bare fruit & extend its branches & blossoms to those who seek it’s shelter.
• Don’t take advice from people who’ve never done what you do. They may only know in theory but lack the practicum to provide wise counsel.
• Unless you want the aggravation, hardship, hurt & headache that someone went through to reach the point they’re at right now…don’t desire their anointing. It cost them a great cost to have what they have.
• Allow God to mold you into the one-of-a-kind leader you are. He will keep the clay wet with your tears & bend you with his tender touch.
• Learn to discern people who only want your gift & not you. Everyone has issues they need to work through. However, if you allow their daddy issues, family dysfunction or superstar ambition bleed into your life…you’ll spend months/years delayed & distracted from your life call. At some point, you have to let Jonah go.
You are God’s masterpiece! He has a beautiful plan for your life. Don’t let a setback keep you from your set up!
You didn’t just get here! Trust the process.
Every Blessing!
