You can't outwork God's grace.  

I can be obsessive about my goals but the more I am desperate to reach them the more I push them away.  There is joy in knowing what you want but you don't have to be desperate to receive it.  You have to have faith and relax. 

If you are doing things for validation. Listen to this. 

Social Media can have a hold on our lives.  It can be a benefit when used in moderation, but not everything needs to be shared.  Keep your dreams close to your dream and don't get stuck in idle.  

Expectations can be a good thing but they also can be a burden.  Learning to have expectations but let them go will allow you to experience a greater capacity of love.  

Can you handle the truth?  The truth is we can get so stagnate in our comfort zone that we don't see beyond it.  Our imagination is fueled by what we see instead of an amazing world beyond it.  

Dreams can change over time and it is not a negative thing.  When you embrace the journey of discovering new things about yourself, you find that life is bigger than you imagined. 

I can get caught in just trying to survive that I miss all the blessings in front of me.  

A short thought.  Why do we rise up and show great strength during adversity but then fall back in line after the storm?  The challenge is to fall out of line and not lose sight of the strength you possess.  

Listening to others can only get you so far, but to get to your purpose you must find your own way.
