Well, I am coming off the first full week of my new chapter in my life. It was both challenging and exciting all at the same time. I am thankful to be in a new place in my life. More importantly, I am thrilled at the opportunity to take the pen and write new pages in the story of my life. My journey has been good up until this point. However, I have truly stepped into the greatest season of my life. It is a season where all the pieces are finally coming together. My prayer for you is that as we edge closer to the final quarter of this year that you will find your rhythm and embrace new realms of success. Do not settle for the status quo when you were designed for significance.
Have you been feeling restricted? Does your life need a reset? Are you audacious enough to reach for new heights of success? I know what it is like to live a restricted life and it is a miserable existence. Living restricted means that you live in a box. Essentially, I call it low-level living.This is when you choose a status quo life. You were not born to go with the flow. You were born to be an unstoppable force in this world. Restrictions will cause you to lower the bar for your life. However, you do not have to lower the bar or limit your brilliance. The reality is that limitations are constructed by thoughts. The moment I discovered this powerful truth it shifted the trajectory of my life. In other words, no limitation can live in my mind without my permission. You have the power to determine what occupies your mind. Ultimately, whatever occupies your mind will own your moments. You are your only limit. When you refuse to allow fear, doubt ,and unbelief to rule your world you embrace a life of unlimited possibilities.
One thing I know is that you will never reach your greatest potential without a constant reset of your priorities. Over the last year, I have had to take an honest look at my life. I have had to ask myself hard questions, challenge my thoughts and redefine what matters most to me. While it was not an easy process, I am so thankful that I was willing to engage that process. What you are unwilling to be honest about will always hold you hostage. I talk to people all the time that are not truly ready to be free. I say that because when you are desperate for freedom you will face every giant that has stood in your way. We are living in a generation that craves a future that they refuse to develop the courage to fight for. To reset is ultimately to make a definitive stance that you will not be denied success. When you reset you release everything that would prevent you from reaching your greatest potential. The proof that you have reset will be reflective in your choices, priorities and the course that your life takes. It is impossible to truly reset and revert back to cycles of familiarity, frustration, and failure. When you reset it alters everything about your life. Essentially, a new way of thinking results in a new way of living. What you believe always influences your way of being.
This year has been a major year of growth in my life. This is a year where I have had to develop the audacity to reach for more in my life. I’ve discovered over the years that your life is a reflection of what you have the courage to reach for. Unfortunately, most people are not willing to reach for very much. I have been criticized and ostracized for being too ambitious and dreaming too big. However, I think the greatest compliment you can ever give me is that I think big and I dream uncommon dreams. That passion has catapulted me into realms of success I never imagined possible. The proof of hunger is not profession. The proof of hunger is pursuit. You show me the pursuit of a person and I will show you their prophetic future. Stop reaching for comfort and start reaching for change. Convenience will never change your life. Mediocrity will never make you a master. It was only when I chose to cultivate uncommon disciplines that I started to distinguish myself in the world. My willingness to do what others won’t has empowered me to live a life that few people will ever live. Your reward in life is the product of what you choose to reach for. I made the decision to reach for excellence!
In closing, I have so much I could say about this topic. However, I have shared enough to challenge you to take action. You cannot just keep talking about a life that you are unwilling to pursue. Some people are addicted to motivational quotes and inspiring words. However, they are not addicted to taking action on their goals. I am grateful that my life and words inspire people all over the world. At the same time, I know that inspiration alone does not change your life. Emotion is not a true metric for success. If you only act on your goals when you feel good, I can assure you that you will not live a successful life. Hunger is the greatest metric for success. Why is hunger the greatest metric? Your appetites determine the altitude of your life. It’s time to reset your life!
