KEEP WORKING TOWARDS YOUR PASSION.

have you ever set a goal + suddenly halfway through your "WORK HARD, PLAY HARD" mindset you stop. you suddenly take a step back after putting in tons of werk + begin to question EVERYTHING? I HAVE! let’s be real..it’s common to face minor obstacles when pursuing your dreams (professional or personal)..while i have found myself in this EXACT situation, i have also found ways to come OUT of it. before you choose to up + quit, truly THINK about it. take time to just think. how much time? up to you. whether it means fasting, praying, meditating..just take it + while you are taking a step back to re-focus, here are THREE things to ask yourself..

• why did i begin this journey or set this dream in the first place? reminding yourself WHY you started could be what you need to keep going. so when you take that time to reflect on it all, begin to jot down all the deets!
• am i allowing fear to creep in or am i afraid of succeeding? know that it’s normal to get scared..but it’s also important to know that FEAR + FAITH do not work together. in order to BELIEVE in yourself, you have got to let go of all fear. how? it’s not always easy. each person has their own route, but.. i pray. daily. “God help me to rid of this fear. You are STRONGER than I will ever be.” prayer is powerful, friends!
• did i set a SMART goal? [specific. measurable. attainable. realistic. time specific.] if you didn’t, that is OKAY. sometimes we get SO excited + skip this step. however, this is CRUCIAL. IMO, it’s never too late to go back and re-adjust! setting S.M.A.R.T. goals has been so helpful to me this past year, so i highly encourage it. 

take courage! do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded. 2 CHRONICLES 15:7.
