Oh, hey y’all!
Can we be transparent for a minute? Think about where you were physically, mentally, or spiritually when you stated or thought these phrases:
- maybe if I moved to another state
- maybe if I worked for a different company
- maybe if I completed my degree
We have all allowed these thoughts and statements to run rampant in our minds. If we are completely honest with ourselves there is a level of frustration being experienced when we make these type of statements. These frustrating moments can lead an individual to rethink the current season that they are in.
Making decisions out of frustrations can often lead to regret. It can also delay your goals even more and subsequently the frustration of it all leads to no progress.
So, before you make that move out of state or before you consider a different company, consider the phrase Blooming Where You Are! This phrase encourages individuals to thrive and grow in their current circumstances or environment. It suggests that with positivity and effort, one can find success and happiness regardless of their circumstances. Another important piece to stamp is that God will make your name great regardless of your current state or situation. Now, I'm not saying that relocating, finishing a degree program, or changing companies won't change your circumstances, it absolutely could. The piece that I think is important to stamp is the mindset that accompany the actions.
If life does not do anything else, what it will do is Life!! The challenges and struggles you encounter will express one or two things in your life; the reason why you don’t make it or what you tell others when you do make it. One looks like victory and the other looks like defeat. Both accounts also gives an individual some form of motivation and hope. The great part is you have full autonomy over your mindset regarding these two expressions. Consider that you are preparing for what has been prepared for you. Preparation prepares you for purpose. The biblical definition of the word prepare means to be firm, established, stable, and to be ready. All this tells me is that you and I have work to do while still in progress.
Where you are may not be where you want to be, but there’s still greatness in your current space. Blooming where you are gives you the confidence to become what you were destined to be. Remember, preparation walks alongside purpose and your purpose allows you to bloom where you are!
