It is not uncommon for us to be entirely oblivious to some of our abilities until God stretches us. Many can't see themselves as being entrepreneurs until they help someone else to start their own business. Talents can sometime lie dormant until called upon, then we usually see what we're really made of.
When the times comes and God shows you how far you can excel, know that it isn't just for you to know it, but for you to change your goal setting. Blessings Davina S.

Each day comes with its own rewards and challenges, so don't run from the challenges. If we didn’t have to work for some things or overcome certain situations, there would be no times of reward.
Blessings Davina S. Change can be difficult but some things are meant to be. When it comes to breaking habits or starting new ones, we often hit roadblocks that appear insurmountable. From a natural aspect, reaching the top of a mountain isn't accomplished by leaping to the top but climbing rigorously. Everything in life will not be a challenge but when it comes to changing oneself, you're in for a fight.
The process may not be easy but it will be well worth it. I'm definitely a work in progress. Davina S. I have often felt as though I've strayed too away from God when my worldly nature gets the best of me and I neglect His perfect will and purpose for my life. But when I awoke this morning to my daily scripture reading, I felt so encouraged to reach back out to Him. The Bible verse was Acts 3:19 "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord".
If you ever feel as though you're too far to feel His gentle touch, look up! He's a father who will never leave you nor will He forsake you. Amen Davina S. GOOD MORNING
We don't often realize how important our thoughts are so we don't monitor them. But if we took time out to address the many things that wonder throughout our minds daily, we'd discover some rather important things about ourselves. Something to consider also when it relates to our thoughts is that ignoring negatives thoughts, fuels them. Ignoring positive thoughts, negates positive outcomes. Today pay attention to your thoughts. There may be some things needing attention. Blessings Davina S. We often seek things outside of ourselves for validation, hope, encouragement, and strength. What if you started pulling from what God has already placed inside of you? We pray for wisdom and guidance not realizing that He has answered our prayers already. Start pulling from your inner reserve.
-Davina S. We often say to ourselves and others, "hey no one's perfect", just before making an attempt to achieve perfection. I've learned something about myself over the years. When I'm attempting to learn a new craft, I completely engulf myself into it. I need to know it's history, who's made history in doing it best, and how I can achieve that persons level of success. My expectations are totally delusional at times. I got a hankering to learn how to play the guitar and envisioned myself playing the instrument effortlessly. Well that obsession to perfect a craft that I knew absolutely nothing about lasted for two days before I found myself selling it to a pawnshop.
For those individuals like me who may hide behind the guise of not wanting to be perfect, actually be okay with it. You're not alone, trust me. Thanks for reading! Davina S. Change can be difficult. Unexpected change can be incredibly difficult. Like losing a loved one or a job or a home. Life sometimes pushes us into unfamiliar territory and we're all of a sudden faced with the option to sink or to swim.
No one expects you to hop into what feels like another persons life immediately and take the world by storm after being knocked out of normality, but you owe it to yourself to not allow life's circumstances to totally stagnate you. After dealing with the initial shock of a thing, the next step is to accept it. Easier said than done but possible. The act of stepping isn't just related to active movement but to our emotional and mental life as well. If acceptance has been hard for you, surround yourself with those who know you and who can offer wise counsel to help stir you back to solid ground. What has happened within your life that you absolutely refuse to accept? Davina S. Sometimes we develop this obsessive nature with controlling every aspect of our lives. Let me help you out whilst saving you a boatload of time, you can't and you won't. Although we have been blessed with the power of choice, we have not been given the power of absolute control. So when things happen outside the scope of your "can do" power, embrace the change, adapt to the atmosphere, and settle on a resolution. I could go on and on but for now, this will have to suffice.
Thanks for reading! Davina S. Balance your goals with both the easily attainable and challenging. Proper pressure applied produces great oil but too much pressure can just make you pop. Level yourself.
