It all starts with our belief system. Matthew 19:26: “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible.” This has always been true.
A lot of things can keep someone from believing. However, it seems the biggest factor that keeps people from believing is fear. It’s a fact that it takes courage to succeed. But let’s not forget that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the capacity to press on despite fear.
Fear can immobilise us or push us forward.
Most of us choose to be immobilised because it is a comfort zone. Moving forward means I have to show up and do. Each step we take in the right direction propels us forward and we are further along on this creative road.
Sure, it is nice to be comfortable. It's only meant to be a temporary place to rest. We are not supposed to pitch a tent and live there. Unfortunately, many of us choose to stay in the cramp-ness of the tent. Refusing to explore all the possibilities outside the “comfort zone”.
I know it is cold and windy, but is that not exciting? It is only when we face the elements that we can progress towards the goal of creative enlightenment. It is during this phase that we grow and the best of all, tell others about it.
It is always a two-way street.
Rather than that, fear rules you; let the words from Matthew encourage you. “With men, this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible.” When you trust in Him as your source of inspiration, you can only win.
What can you lose? Nothing.
Even if it doesn't work out, you're still a winner. Believe in yourself and trust God that has placed the dream within your heart that all will work out for the good.
Let the river flow.
