Does anything haunt you? Not like Candyman (because he is scary) or your past (because that’s an entire book for another day, lol) but your dreams. I’m talking about vivid and detailed dreams of your future. The visions you can literally feel. Is there anything you know you are supposed to be or do that you haven’t done? I know I have some that I haven’t even started working on. If we can feel it, see it and want it why are we not turning these dreams into realities?

I have been blessed to get 95% of every job I interviewed for. I have gotten B’s and A’s without any effort. Even with all the bad I know I’m blessed beyond measure, yet I am uncomfortable. I’m supposed to be impacting people. In a GODLY way. I have consistently been in my church my whole life. I’ve been to therapy, sought counsel in wiser people, soaked up a lot of game and I haven’t applied it to the big stuff. What the heck!?!

 I’m at a new place in my life. I’m doing well. The best I’ve ever done emotionally and spiritually. This is the place I’ve reached for when bouncing back and now that I’m here I feel a tad stuck. The boss in me is trying to get out but I’m hesitant. The fear of success. What a ridiculous thing to be but it’s a real thing. Success requires consistent work. You can’t go backwards once you exceed your own expectations, you can’t be lazy once you hit your stride and that is a huge thought. That’s it though, it’s only huge in thought. Just take one step at a time. Simply place one foot in front of the other. Stop the self-doubt or down talk. Even forget about your own strength and remember God’s power. He won’t let us shake these dreams year after year therefore he will make a way. He always does. He never fails us. EVER but we gotta do our part. We must do that work. We gotta start sacred.

Funny thing I’ve never regretted completing anything on my to do list. Completion and success births more success. Not only for us but those around us. Matter of fact that is what it is all for, to inspire others.

Please fear mediocracy more than success. It’s hard to be poor and it’s hard to be rich so wake up out of those dreams and live out your destiny Start this beautiful day by giving yourself permission to be all you are. Not can be, ARE. Know I’m talking to myself too. So…. I pray we apply ourselves like never before. I pray we know everything we need is already in us. I pray we show up and show out. I pray the vision only felt half as good as the real thing. I am elated to see it all manifest and I am eager to be inspired too. #SincerelyJam
