Stepping Into Your Next

By Tanya M. Wilson – 360 You

Fear is often the roadblock that stops us in our tracks when it comes to reaching our full potential, or the purpose for which we were born. So often we fail to listen to that still small voice that continues to replay in our spirit. We don’t realize sometimes that the voice that continues the remix is our own personal cheering squad encouraging us into our destiny.

It doesn’t stop there; we begin asking others what they think. Now don’t mistake what I am saying because it is a good thing when considering your next step to seek counsel, as long as you are also listening to and soliciting the counsel of the ONE who thought of it first.

Some years back, I learned a very tough lesson. I came to realize, after much pain and suffering that I had misplaced my faith, hope and trust. Rather than remembering what I knew to be true for my life, I got caught up listening to someone who used my faith as a tool of manipulation. “God told me to tell you……” I allowed their voice to become my voice. Sadly, the result was the stagnation of my dream and purpose.

We have got to be careful where we place our trust. Is it a solid rock, or is it sinking sand? When we lose sight of who we are, and what we know we are called to do, we run the risk of failing to reach our destiny.

Once we understand what we are called to do, we must boldly decide that we are going to step into that next. We have already received the assignment, now our responsibility is to carry it out. Our lives prepare us for the contribution that we are to make. Allowing anyone to convince you otherwise will derail your destiny.

Accept today that your life has prepared you for an amazing contribution. Someone or something is waiting for you. The contribution that you can make is only one that you can make. Don’t delay any longer, boldly walk into your next knowing that your gifts will make room for you.
