The HARDEST PART is to START something. Whether it is a vision we want to pursue, a dream, or a business idea, the most difficult part is to actually START...

If you are struggling with comparison, this word is for YOU!
The hardest part of chasing any dream isn’t dreaming—it’s starting or moving forward in ACTION. It’s the DOING, not dreaming. Life happens, we get sick, car breaks down, children are not feeling well, we start a new job, or a new project, and that DREAM os starting a business, or writing a BOOK, is left on a back burner.
Not because the vision isn’t worth pursuing, but because fear, doubt, and other excuses, though are some valid excuses, START to creep in. The minute we say yes to the vision, things go out of control, and we are tested and tried.
The battle gets tough, we convince ourselves that we’ll continue when the timing is right, when we have more money set aside, more confidence, more certainty—but the truth is? The perfect moment never comes. The key is to start—even if you have to do it scared.
In my upcoming Book Purposefully Driven I share how excuses held me down, and delayed my progress of writing my BOOK, and Story.
Here is a paragraph that I thought was powerful when I wrote it.
Staring at the blank pages, filled with excuses, I had no idea where to start. So much to say, so much to share… but where would I even begin? Do I tell my life story? Which part? The happy moments? The struggles? The pain?
Doubt crept in. They write, they tell stories, they are the qualified ones. English isn’t even my first language. My past? No one needs to know. What’s done is done. I can’t do it.
Without realizing it, I had let my own thoughts disqualify me before I even tried. So, discouraged, I put it to the side… again.
But you see God did not need my power, nor my strength, to finish what he started in me. He ignited the desire in me to write, and to tell my story, the fire inside of me kept me going. He would do the rest if I was willing, he would fill in the details, when the RIGHT time comes.
Let your excuses be the fuel that motivates you to ACTION.
Don’t allow whispers and fears to knock you out, from where God is taking you. These are facts, not truth, God can do the impossible, he can fill what you lack, he can turn things around in a heartbeat. He can make the impossible possible!
His Word says so
with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible
Matthew 19:26
NIV BIBLE
Step forward. Trust Him. And start
What fear or doubt is holding you back today? Acknowledge it and move forward!
Your Story is important to someone else. The details of your testimony are life to someone else. I couldn’t have spoken into strangers life, if I myself did not go through the battles. I can only speak because I know the pain, the hurt, and confusion. I pray God comforts us, and gives us the grace to tell our story, no matter how small the details are.
Let’s not hesitate to share our testimonies and help each other walk through the valleys, and reach our destinations together. With a sense of fulfillment, and helping others get there can be a rewarding and satisfying experience, because when we lift each other up, we don’t just reach our destinations, we thrive in them.
I’d love to share your Story on my SITE!
