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!

Why You Should Never Copy Other People

Growth comes from doing the work. It does not come from copying other people.

When you copy others, you are not creating your own life. You are just repeating what is already out there.

When you copy other people, you are not adding value to your life; you are stealing from your own growth; you are reducing yourself. Because growth happens when you actually do the work, not when you copy other people.

When you copy other people, you are a follower, not a leader. You are not an innovator. You are not living your life. You are living other people’s dreams.

Copying other people is not good for you. According to Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, ‘copying does more harm to the copier than to the copied. When someone copies you, they are copying a moment in time. They don’t know the thinking that went into getting you to that moment in time, and they won’t know the thinking that’ll help you have a million more moments in time. They’re stuck with what you left behind.’

That is why you should NEVER copy other people. Because copying is not learning. Learning is doing the work, not copying the work.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to face yourself?’
