“Comfort is the enemy of greatness” – Rachel Proctor
Recently I was a guest on Gospel Ja FM Radio discussing the topic of “Unlocking Your Potential”. As we discussed this topic, one of my major revelation, is the fact that as humans we tend to choose being comfortable over everything else.
We love being in our comfort zones, not realizing that our potential.. our greatness.. our destiny… our purpose is found on the ‘other side’.
It’s almost the end of the first quarter of 2017 and I am challenging you to look at the goals you set for this year. How far are you in accomplishing them? Have you even started?
Many times, we make excuses explaining why we are unable to get things done when we aren’t willing to make the necessary sacrifices. This may require us to change our current habits, walk away from toxic relationships and eliminate our distractions.
Ask yourself, do you want your life to be easy and comfortable or do you want a meaningful life that will afford you the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy?
You see, daily you have to become intentional about fulfilling your purpose. And choosing purpose requires you to become “uncomfortable” with your current reality and routine.
For too long you have settled… you’ve settle for less than God’s best in your life because of fear. You fear failure. You fear success. You fear what others might think. As a result of fear, you remain in that “comfort” which holds you back from achieving your greatness.
So, why choose PURPOSE? Purpose diminishes distractions. Purpose pushes you through pain. Purpose is the key to our destiny. Purpose empowers you to please God.
TODAY you must choose PURPOSE over comfort….
Are you willing to say YES to what God has called you to do?
Are you ready to start that business God has placed on your heart?
Are you finally ready to get that promotion you know you deserve?
Are you willing to improve your financial situation?
This is not the time to not have mental clarity.
This is not the time to be frustrated or overwhelmed.
This is not the time to continue making excuses.
And the only person that can make that happen in your life is you. No one else.
So, my encouragement is for you today is…
Let your Purpose be the driver of your life and put your comfort in the back seat!!
Until next time….
I love you and God loves you more.
