Positioning Your Day

Having heard the call to step up my game, I know I must be more intentional as to how I want to approach my day.
So, yesterday my heart ached to start it here, waking up to this. So we hopped in the car and here we are.
The sun just rising, the water so still, such quiet except for the birds calling out to each other... I'm ready to listen to God, feel His love, and plan together.
Since I tend to be a make-it-happen, push-yourself-to-the-limits , I can (and should) do it all person... and have suffered several burnouts over my life...
I have had to learn how to just ... RELAX.
But I also love productivity... so, to solve this apparent paradox, God showed me a solution...
*** clear the clutter within
*** stand in the truth
*** position myself to receive
*** draw from His unlimited resources
Maybe someone needed to read this today?

In today’s coaching session with one of my clients, we tackled what I have seen to be a very common issue…. In fact, I think it’s pandemic, far worse than C19.
It’s the invasive, show stopper… the subconscious, hidden belief that you are LESS THAN.
When I first started working with this client, he had already accomplished more than most people do - ever . But he had big dreams and a mission to make a huge difference in the medical field. He’s an iconic innovator and wanted to be famous in his field.
Now, it takes a special person who wants to be “famous in their field,” and even more special if they don’t have a ton of ego motivating them.
But he did. Lots of ego.
Now, in reality, ego can serve a good purpose, especially if you are younger, but after a while, it just slows you down, makes you stuck, and triggers all kinds of negative emotions when people don’t recognize you, support you, or even worse, thwart you.
My client was a strong man of faith, who has worked very hard on himself professionally and personally, so it was a surprise for him to see this Egoic Less Than thing. However, he was a person who did not want any old stuff clinging to him because he knew you can’t rise to where God wants you to go if you are tethered by the weight of lies.
Now the thing is, most of us have a Less Than Story . And sometimes it’s easier to play the victim and keep repeating the story… how you were hurt, wounded, held back, etc. .. than to actually challenge it.
