Ok so I decided that I needed to host a mini weight loss workshop since everyone keeps asking me about how I lost the weight and what am I doing. Well I happened to tell my idea to a fellow co-worker/friend who said I should try and get the library to sponsor my workshop. I thought wow that’s a great idea then I can do this regularly and eventually get paid for this. So I finally call (after dragging my feet since Friday) to see if I can get the sponsorship and they told me I needed to have credentials and come in and introduce myself that I am qualified to teach this, not to mention that the schedule has been set for the next 3 months for all workshops. Frustrated? Yes. What was I going to do next since my plan was thwarted? I went with my plan A which was to reserve one of the tutoring rooms to host my lecture series. I am now set to speak on March 30. I pray that God is with me on this endeavor and that I speak from Him and not of my own accord.
In the meantime, I was thinking about what to do about the time between now and when the sponsorships open up. Perhaps I can become a certified Life Coach. That way I will have my credentials. I have a BS in Chemistry. Why not add something else to the educational achievements? I do want to go back to school. Time for some research!
I am allowing God to work in me to break down these walls and take away my fear of rejection. That may be what my block is. Fear of being rejected. I asked God after my last session to reveal within me what was holding me back from accomplishing the goals that I have been working towards. I have a habit of starting things but not finishing them. At first I thought it was a fear of failure or success that was holding me back. However, I realize it is a fear of being rejected. I am able to accomplish things and be successful at it so it can not be that I fear success. I also believe a fear of failure may play a part in me procrastinating.
I challenge you to take a deep earnest look at yourself. Ask yourself have you achieved the dreams and goals in your life? If not, what is stopping you? Write down all the excuses why you haven’t accomplished your goals. Then, disregard all that you have written down and dig deeper because those are not the real reasons, that’s why I called them excuses. That’s just what came to the top of your head as far as what you have allowed to come in the way of accomplishing your dreams. The real reason is a fear of SOMETHING. What is it? Can you break free from it? YES! I know because I am doing the same thing. Breaking free from my bondage and breaking through to a new me!
