hi my friends it's Kris Reece here and I want to talk to you today about
avoiding delays and distractions on the path to your destiny.
last week I had a day all planned I was headed out to a routine appointment and
then I was gonna go meet a friend for lunch and all was well until I saw a sea
of red lights ahead of me. I was stuck in an epic traffic jam. there are some
delays that we can't predict but this one I could have. you see I knew this
road was notorious for being backed up and I didn't check the traffic report
ahead of time and what's worse this wasn't your average traffic jam. there
was a tractor-trailer blocking the entire Road and I sat stuck on this road
for over an hour causing me to not only miss my appointment but also lunch with
my friend. I felt terrible so what went wrong?
my intentions were good I even had a plan and a schedule to follow but they
still didn't get me to where I wanted to be. the same thing can happen with your
life's journey you can dream and even plan but still be blocked from moving
forward as you travel along life's journey in pursuit of your purpose there
are some delays and distractions that you can plan for and thus steer around.
number one the comparison trap. there are few things that can prevent you from
fulfilling your purpose more than comparing your journey with someone
else's. instead of concerning yourself with where everyone else is stay in your
lane and keep moving forward. God has created you with a unique
temperament he gave you unique passions and giftings. discover what they
are and let them guide your way. if you want to learn more about your
temperament I want to invite you to grab your free
what's my temperament guide. I'll include the link in the description section
below. this will help you to begin to discover how fearfully and wonderfully
made you are. the next time many miss out on living the life that they were
created for by thinking that they either don't have enough time to create it or
they have plenty of time to figure it out
both will prevent you from fulfilling your purpose.
number three. unforgiveness unforgiveness is like
cancer and it eats away at you until even the healthy parts of you are
contaminated. it pulls you in with its desire for vengeance and prevents you
from living the life you were called to live. whatever it is that hurt you let go
of the offense. you'll free yourself from the weight plus God can pay back better
than you ever could the next people pleasing there is no way to move forward
in all that God created you to be if you are busy trying to please others. most
people pleasers can't bear to have someone unhappy with them. don't miss
hearing those wonderful words well done my good and faithful servant by getting
caught up in trying to please people who will likely never be satisfied anyway
number 5 toxic thinking . when negative thinking is left unchecked it spirals
out of control and becomes toxic. you begin to believe the thoughts and the
feelings that keep you stuck in fear and self-doubt the solution though isn't
just positive thinking but rather in challenging the truth of the negative
ones. if you think your toxic thinking that may be holding you back from all
that God has for you I want to invite you to take our free toxic thoughts
assessment quiz. I'll include that in the description section below as well. don't
miss out on living a life of purpose because of any of these distractions. I
encourage you to start today to address your distractions and set out to
overcome them. I promise you it will be well worth the investment that's all for
now my friends until next time I pray that you are blessed beyond your wildest
imagination
