The Only Way To Gauge How Well You Are Doing

What are you measuring in your life? Are you measuring things that are important to you?

Are you after what is going to change your life? Are you after your happiness, your joy, your own passion?

Are you okay with what is going on in your life? If you are not getting what you want to see in your life, what are you doing to get back to yourself, to feel more alive, to be comfortable with your life?

Or are you just doing what other people are doing? Or are you just trying to pretend that everything is okay in your life? Or are you just living your life to make other people happy? Or are you living for others, but not for yourself?

Or are you comparing yourself to others? What are you doing? Are you being true to yourself?

What are you doing right now? If you don’t know what to do next, according to Brianna Wiest, ‘… the only way to gauge how well you are or not doing is to have the courage to go inward, and to feel. To truly be honest with yourself, to keep going when you don’t feel finished, to let your roots sink deeper when you are in something you want to last. To realize that none of us will ever maintain seamless lives, but we are all capable of having one we are in some proud of. We are all capable of deciding what is worth our efforts, our energy, our fight.’

To know whether things are going well or not, look at what is going on in your life right now?

Do not pretend that everything is going well. If things are not, then seek help. You do that by asking some tough questions.

Ask yourself, ‘What am I doing right now? Is this what I should be doing right now? Is what I am doing getting me closer to my dreams? What should I change that is not helping me? What should I keep doing that is working? Who can help me?’ Do not be too smart to ask for help.

Be real with yourself. That is the only way to be you, to get to where you want to be. If not, you are not going to get what you want.

As always, remember, You are more, not less!

Are You Too Afraid To Try All Things?

What are you afraid of? What do you really like to do but you are too scared to face it? What is it that you cannot stop thinking about? Whatever it is that you are too scared to face, that thing is what you should be doing.

That is where you should be. That is what you should be learning about. And that is what you should never stop talking about. Why is that? Because God knows what you want to do with your life.

You are not in charge of your dreams. God is in charge of your dreams. You are not in control of your life. God is in control of your life.

When you are always after something, even when you do not know how you are going to get it done, even when you do not know how you are going to get there, but you just can’t let it go, that is God talking to you.

Listen! If not, you will miss it. Remember, God doesn’t scream. He whispers.

I do not know what you want to achieve in your life. Whatever it is, do not be too scared to face it. If you don’t face what you want, you will never get it.

But if you commit to it, if you bring it before God, if you do the work, if you are patient, if you stay open to what is possible, if you have the courage to do your best work, no matter the situation, nothing can stop you from getting to where you want to be.

To get to where you want to be, you must, according to Iyanla, ‘remain open to testing what you already know.’

To face your fears, to bring your dreams to life, you must ‘remain open to being guided, supported and protected by the universe. And you must ‘remain open to knowing things that you don’t already know.’

Whether you have the courage to push yourself forward or not, remember,

‘You are more, not less!
