No Excuses
by Lena Joseph
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...
The hardest part of chasing any dream isn’t dreaming—it’s starting or moving forward in ACTION. Not because the vision isn’t worth pursuing, but because fear, doubt, and perfectionism creep in. We convince ourselves that we’ll start when the timing is right, when we have more money, more confidence, more certainty—but the truth is? The perfect moment never comes. The key is to start anyway—even if you have to do it scared.
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
To 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!
