Standing Still is Better Than Running To No Where

Tips from Testimony: Transcend Your Personal Boundaries ©





Life has a way of slowing us down, humbling us. Through unemployment, illness, lost, lack, misunderstandings, and ill-will, we are halted. Day Two of 7 Days of Preparation: Launch the Transformation! focuses on building momentum where you stand not where you are running. Finding your way, the true north, is at the point of ponder (View I Dare You to Dance video below).

After admitting past mistakes and resolving the issues that hindered you and held you in a false sense of progression, as a forgiven empty vessel, moving is the next step, yet movement must be intentional- forward progress. The word progress is provocative. Progress provides an image of an exciting image of success and notoriety. Moving forward is liberating, however, running without knowing where you're going, without godly perspective and honest reflection, is moving in the wrong direction... laterally or backward, is a purposeless path to nowhere.

Don't be in a hurry to go where your designed destiny is not waiting. Destiny is a place for the head, heart, and hands to lead you to. Your place of despair is one stop on your path to destiny. When you’re still, you can see the opportunities within obstacles. After the halt from life, the struggles, heartbreaks, disappointments, and betrayal, your broken heart can mend your mind to move your hands with purpose and in peace.  After facing the past, then turning to your future, you must accept yourself as a unique, worthy, insightful, and beautiful spirit. You maybe scarred; nevertheless,you are capable living a life of dignity and autonomy, a fulfilled life. And you deserve too.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” - George Bernard Shaw, 1925 Nobel Prize for Literature

Planning and preparing for the future that you desire are wise methods to implement after you have determined your life's goals. On the other hand, the perspective George Shaw shares, and the one I will take the liberty to expand upon, challenges you not to prescribe to just the "American Dream" formula, but to develop your own life’s strategies based on your unique skills, gifts, and talents; Standing still allows you to discover these endowed treasures. Stop looking at what everyone is doing in the world; look at what you can do in the world. Answer these questions: 
What would you do if you couldn't fail? 
What do you enjoy doing and  have been doing it for free? 
Do people always ask you to do a certain favor because they say you can do it the best? 
What dream do you have that others have declared impossible? 
Reasonable men often get in their own way to their designed destinies because they are intimating the destinies of others to achieve success. Alone or with many like-minded people, standing still in quiet confidence is always better than running aimlessly. Stand in your dream until you are prepared to move forward; the dream may be deferred but it’s not denied. The following Tips from Testimony are personal mantras you may use while standing still.

Tips from Testimony:   
1. Silence the critics, starting with the critic within.
2. Discover your purpose.  
3. Unlearn and re-learn.   
4. Pursue your passion and profit will pursue you.           
5. Don't be afraid to go alone.
6. God rewards the diligent.
7. Failure is a lesson learned to help you in your future.
