Motivational Moments By Author Tricia Andreassen Thursday, December 18 2014
Sometimes we think to ourselves that we can’t get something done. We convince ourselves with the stories we play on auto-record in our brain or tell others. “I am not in shape enough to try that” The reality is that we convince ourselves many times so that we don’t stretch ourselves. We get fearful that the pain of not achieving it or feeling like a failure will be too great to handle so we allow those beliefs to run our life. I can share this because I have gone through those moments when I allowed the limiting belief and story to shape my daily activities and my decisions. It was only when the pain got too great that I made the line in the sand. The pain of NOT stretching myself and STAYING STUCK created more pain than I could handle on my own. That is when I was crying and knelt down on my knees and cried out to God and said out loud, “God I am giving it all to you. I have been trying to control my life instead of you working THROUGH me. Help me. I give everything to you. My spirit, my words, my music, my art, my heart, my work, my worries…..everything.” You know what? All that was developing and IS STILL developing was WITHIN ME ALL ALONG. All that is… is within you right now…. At this moment. |
