I’ve been having moments lately where I JUST DO IT! “It” is different for all of us. Most likely “It” can be taking a risk. This past month is exactly what “It” has been for me  and I just did it!! More than once, I’ve taken that leap WITHOUT thinking long and hard about it, WITHOUT consulting with myself first, because too many times when I do that I TALK MYSELF OUT OF IT! So this time I just did it!! I feel nervous now…BUT I’m not listening to the thoughts of doubt and fear, ok sometimes I do haha! Not for too long though, I flush them out of my head because I know who I am.. I know who God has created me to be.. I know what HE says of me… and His words alone… are all I need to move forward.Take the leap! Jump! Hop! Skip to it! Just DO IT!! Sometimes we’re the ones holding ourselves back from things we desire to pursue. Stop it!! A risk is no guarantee that things will work out… oh but what if it does?! If ur heart is in it… n you’ve got the passion… ??!! I just can’t say no to something for the FEAR of FAILING… I know about some people who failed a few times at something they ended up being great at. *caugh* Michael Jordan. Fear is a dream stopper… and I give fear the boot  it doesn’t have my permission to hangout in my life  I’d rather take a risk then live in fear or constantly wonder “what if”. 

**my response to someone who said: I COMPLETELY agree with you! I just wanted you to remember that taking a risk doesn’t necessarily mean success since I seem to have that delusional logic in thinking…**

aww.. you’re not delusional! its called hope. and hope is good to have. Healthy Hope! Any decision we make… I think they should be made from a healthy heart and with wisdom. If we make decisions solely off emotions, we may find ourselves standing in a place we didn’t envision for ourselves. I don’t think all impulse decisions are bad.. every case is different.. but I do think if you’r going to “Just do it” and take a risk.. then monitoring your heart and knowing where you are mentally and emotionally is wise. They go hand in hand. Healthy mind and healthy heart. Wisdom is so important. my recent risks weren’t done without having considered my hearts health and where my heart stood in the situation. These were both decisions that I feel were for the best, one was something I’ve been passionate about for a long time.. and I KNOW I haven’t done anything in that area because of fear. the other decision was an opportunity for me to grow as a person and to help families out too… both things I really want to see in my life. So they were risks and changes I took knowing that my heart is in a good place, mentally Im in a good place.. it was a decision off impulse but definitely soaked in wisdom and knowing where I am in life to do just say yes to them  ya know? But yeah, making decisions without considering certain things in your life.. probably not the best thing to do. We’ve all been there.. done that..and learned from it

Papa God:
Help us to just do it ..and go after the things in our hearts… as simple as that 🙂
