STOP and BREATHE

Where are you going?

I have come to realize that if I continue to forge ahead without pausing to catch my breath, I risk arriving at a destination that leaves me feeling empty—exhausted and out of sync with my true self. This particular scenario has played out more times than I would like to admit, each instance a reminder of the importance of reflection. As a sanguine choleric, my mind often resembles a storm, a flurry of ideas cascading down unexpectedly, each one demanding attention. When the right resources finally converge, I often find myself plunging headfirst into action with little to no hesitation. While this spontaneous approach has indeed led to some notable achievements, it frequently lacks the foundation I long for, leaving me feeling adrift in a vast sea of uncertainty, as if I needed someone to gently insist that I take a moment to pause and reassess. Now, I am on a journey to become that supportive voice for myself, discovering the vital importance of slowing down, so that I can ensure I am truly navigating the right path forward.

Reevaluate Your Journey

Take a moment to pause and reflect: Are you truly on the path that aligns with your aspirations? Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and give yourself permission to fully engage with your current situation. Consider where you stand now and envision the destination you aim to reach. Approach this reflection with mindfulness, keeping your goals at the forefront of your thoughts. 

As you navigate this introspective process, take time to celebrate the milestones you’ve achieved so far, no matter how small they may seem. Acknowledge your progress and allow that sense of accomplishment to serve as a powerful source of positive motivation moving forward. Embrace this time to regroup and renew your commitment to your journey ahead.

As I shared before, I have a tendency to move quickly through life, often feeling the urgency to keep advancing. When the pace slows down, I find myself easily frustrated, leading me to abandon my current pursuits or shift my attention to new distractions. This pattern has frequently disrupted my journey toward achieving my goals, sometimes even completely derailing my progress. 

However, I am now making a conscious effort to embrace patience. I’ve started to take a moment to breathe deeply and practice mindfulness, allowing myself to be fully present. This shift in perspective helps me to recognize and appreciate the small milestones along the way, transforming my approach into one where I celebrate each achievement, no matter how minor it may seem.

Called to Change the World

With each story I share, I aim to inspire change, reaching out to one individual at a time, one blog post at a time. My journey is woven with moments of faith and grace, echoing the presence of Jesus throughout my life. Each word I write reflects the profound impact He has had on my experiences, guiding me through challenges and illuminating my path with hope and purpose. inside job. There is so much grace that has kept me here, so much love that is unattainable by human standard. I share that with you, at times I feel its not enough but I will keep sharing. I will talk to the guy on my path, the lady next to me in the bus, the shopkeeper I buy grocery from. I will not be silent and every once in a while I will stop and breathe and celebrate the fact that I have reached you
