Why People Want You To ‘Go Along’

Why are you here? What are you doing here? Are you here to express yourself? Or are you here to ‘go along’?

Life is too short for that. You are not here to go along. You are here to express yourself. To do that, you must find your own courage to be yourself, to do your own things. Because if you do not have the courage to be yourself, people will force you to ‘go along’.

Do not let that happen. Because you are more than that. Your life is more than that. Do what you can to make your life your own.

When people say no to you, then turn to God, your Father. Because He has what you are looking for- your peace of mind.

God doesn’t want you to just go along. He wants you to express yourself, to live your life. God doesn’t want you to waste your time. God wants you to work with other people. Because He knows that you won’t be able to get everything done alone.

But working with other people has nothing to do with going along. It has everything to do with who you are. It is about your values, not your possessions.

Working with other people is a sign of respect for others. It sends a message to them that they matter, that you see them.

Going along, on the other hand, has nothing to do with working with other people. Going along has everything to do with power.

People want you to go along so that they can do things to you, not with you. So that they can control you. So that they can make you feel bad about yourself. So that they can make your decisions for you. So that they can choose your career for you. So that they can tell you how you should live your life.

Do not give in to fear. That is what going along wants you to do to your life. It is not to help you get better. It is to push you to your own corner.

Now that you know why people want you to shut up and follow, what are you going to do to stop it from happening?

According to Iyanla, ‘In order to serve your own best interests and escape the trap of coersion, you must know that what you believe about yourself is valuable to you.’ And it is.

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!
