This ONE DECISION Can Lead To Breakthrough Success & Fulfillment

 

Ever feel like you’ve tried everything in your power to succeed or achieve a goal and you are still not where you want to be…either in your career or life? Maybe you’ve tried the ‘secrets’ that others talk about but it doesn’t work. 

 

I call this place in life “The Crossroad”, because you have to make a decision to do something different so you can get something different. If you continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, then that’s insanity.

 

That crossroad often comes down to this question…

 

“Am I going to continue to do things my way and in my own power OR submit to God’s way with God’s power??” It’s either your way OR Gods way

 

MY STORY:

After doing everything I could possibly do to succeed in my home-based business and take my practice to the next level…I found myself getting the same results. In addition, my pursuits were coming at the cost of everything that mattered in my life…my faith, family, physical health, and overall fulfillment. The things that worked in the past to achieve my goals weren’t working anymore. I tried “the secrets” the gurus talk about for business…I tried conferences…I tried just about everything and nothing turned into results for me. The proverbial “well ran dry” after trying everything I could do...went through every option…and it cost me important relationships. Until I finally took the option I’d avoided the whole time…God’s option.

 

After I finally submitted to God’s way and God’s option of success and fulfillment in my work and life…everything changed! I started experiencing peace of mind, fulfillment, and clarity in both work, business, and life.

 

OUR PROBLEM:

1. We believe our way is the right way…or better put, we believe our way is superior to God’s way. As crazy as this sounds when you read this out loud…it’s true. If we believed God’s way was better we would have been doing it a long time ago.
2. We believe we are completely in control of our results. We believe that our results are 100% dependent on ourselves and our decisions. In reality, the ONLY thing we are in control of on this life IS OUR DECISIONS…but we ARE NOT 100% IN CONTROL OF OUR RESULTS! We can decide to plant a seed, but we aren’t guaranteed that because we plant it, that it will grow. We are not in control of the weather or the elements. This is the same for our businesses and relationships. All we can do is try to make decisions that will hopefully put us in the best place to succeed…but it’s not guaranteed.
3. We are stubborn and selfish. We want things to happen our own way. We don’t want obstacles or challenges along the way.

 

If you are at a crossroads regarding some area of your life, here are 3 questions you can ask yourself to help you decide on what direction you should go (your way OR God’s way):

1. Do I believe God knows better than I do about my current situation?
2. Why am I REALLY going after this goal I’m struggling with? (be honest with yourself)
3. Do I trust God?

 

Consider this…

Sometimes I have patients that come to see me in my clinic for a certain pain…knee pain for example. They have sought me out as an expert to help them with this problem of knee pain. However, they currently have a treatment plan that they have been doing, that isn’t completely working out for their pain. They often time will share that plan with me, hoping that if they continue doing that plan, that the pain will improve…despite the fact that I’m the expert and recommend doing something else that will work.

We do the same thing with God…the expert of ALL things. We come to him with a problem but try to convince him of our plan and not accept his plan.

 

THE SOLUTION:

1. Accept that you are not in control
   1. God controls everything
   2. The only thing you can control are the decisions you make. The choices we make.
2. Accept that God is the expert
3. Accept God’s help

 

THIS ACCEPTANCE REQUIRES TRUST!! TRUST REQUIRES RELATIONSHIP!

 

ACTION PLAN:

1. Build a relationship with God that will reinforce trust in him
2. Decide to trust in God’s plan more than you trust in your plan.
   1. Difference between belief and trust.
   2. Story of tightrope walker

 

Here is what you can expect as a result of building a relationship with God, trusting Him, and choosing God’s way…

• Clarity on your “Why”
• Your Purpose
• Clarity
• Peace
• Patience
• Fulfillment

 

If you don’t…you will continue to struggle, stress, and strangle your future success and fulfillment.
