Episode #1 'Don't quit...it's working!'
Are you craving that ‘winning’ feeling? 🎉
Does it feel like nothing is working as you thought it would? 😩
Emotions are real feelings but they are not always a true explanation of reality. Feelings can be deceptive and so it is so vital we don’t allow them to lead us to making incorrect assumptions on progress.
During my first ‘High Performance Disciple’ podcast, I share about a painful 6 month period that was the toughest 6 months me and my wife had experienced. At the time is looked like nothing was working. My wife was experiencing acute health anxiety and the business I had left a stable salary to build was not gaining traction.
The feeling of wanting to quit was so intense and the relief it offered was irresistibly tempting.
BUT WE DIDN’T QUIT!
The ‘Win’ we are experiencing now was formed during that ‘wilderness’ period. I realised there were four steps I needed to repeatedly carry out during that time that built the breakthrough we are experiencing today in our personal and professional lives.
Your win can’t be seen but it is real!
The ‘Win’ of tomorrow is formed in the ‘wilderness’ of today. The wilderness is a place where nothing grows and signs of future life are none existent. Whilst it isn’t a place we would choose to enter it is actually an essential part of the growth process despite it being so painful.
THE KEY!
Our breakthrough sits the other side of our perseverance. Here are the four steps I unpack in the podcast and whether you are a person of faith or not there are keys that can help you build the breakthrough.
i) LISTEN to the conviction that is being formed about who we are becoming and the future we are creating. A conviction is what I am becoming convinced of.
ii) LEARN from each day knowing that the wilderness is a ‘classroom’ preparing you for great exploits. Stop asking ‘why am I going through this?’ and start asking ‘what am I learning through this?’
iii) LEAVE old beliefs, attitudes and habits behind that aren’t compatible with your future. The wilderness is a filter that enables to adopt everything we need for the next season and off-load everything that is incompatible with the future.
iv) LEVERAGE against new beliefs and values that reflect the character of your true self. For me this is about aligning myself to the character of God whose character I was formed in.
It’s working so don’t quit now…like me and my wife you will be grateful you didn’t!
Cheering you on, Gareth
