As much as you may have your moments where you want to do it all by yourself, you have to realize that thinking like that is one of the biggest setbacks in creating the ideal life you desire.
The “I can be bad all by myself” attitude has got to go now! That sort of mentality is often rooted in pride and pride will choke the harvest of love, prosperity, success and wealth to manifest in your life. You were not created to do everything in your own strength, you were created to thrive and one of the best ways that you’ll achieve your destiny is to know your blind spots.
What I mean by “knowing your blind spots” is to acknowledge your weaknesses. On your journey of pursuing your dreams and embracing your purpose-driven life, you must know what your weaknesses are not only personally but professionally so that you can take precautionary measures so that you always come out on top.
If you know that there’s a co-worker that gets on your last nerves then that’s a blind spot that you have to be aware of. So instead of getting frustrated with her, acknowledge that you need help to deal with her effectively in order for you to thrive in your new role as product manager. When you wake up in the morning instead of dreading to talk to her, ask God to help you in advance to deal with her and help you see her the way that He does.
Perhaps you keep dating the same kind of guy over and over again and it gets you nowhere. You might be missing some essential warning signs on those first few dates but for some reason, they keep passing you by. Well, that my dear is a blind spot. Ask for wisdom and discernment before you start dating again and admit that you need help – once again ask God to help you.
Understand that you’re not alone in this life and you DO NOT have to be bad all by yourself. You have an eternal helper who lives inside of you but you have to first be willing to admit that you need that help. Once again, pride will choke you into destruction because you will be deceived into thinking that you don’t need any help because “you got this.”
Yes there are certain circumstances that you will have to go at it alone but even then God is still with you! You are never ever alone; find your joy in that!
Ask for help where you need it. Know what is not your strong suit and pursue better. This is very crucial for my fellow entrepreneurs and those of you who aspire to become entrepreneurs. If you have a business and social media marketing is not your thing, don’t drive yourself crazy trying to figure it out on your own. What you can do is find someone or a trusting resource to help you.
I will pray for everything and anything because I know that it’s God’s joy to give me my heart’s desires. Once I began to change my thinking about who He is, I started to see a difference in my life. We can easily be fooled to believe that God doesn’t care about our day-to-day lives but that is so far from the truth! He wants to help you and sometimes He’ll do it just between you and Him and oftentimes He’ll send people into your life to help you.
So what are your blind spots? What do you currently need help with but your pride will not allow you to ask for it? It can even be something like forgiveness. You know you need to ask for forgiveness from someone but your pride is stopping you. Admit it and ask.
You cannot be “bad all by yourself” anymore, it’s time to grow. Don’t be afraid to ask for help where you need it. It may not always be easy but it will for sure be worth it.
XOXO,
