Due to my husband’s new job, I’m in a new city, a new home, a new community, and God can take me in any direction he chooses. I realized I wouldn’t get an interview, a job or even an offer without him causing it to happen. What happened after that realization was pretty extraordinary.
As a Christian, I believe true rest is only possible through God. Everything we try to do ourselves in an effort to “relax” ends up being wasted time spent in laziness.
It’s so easy to go through your daily routine, be consumed by the amount of work you need to accomplish, keep your head down and work until the day is done. At least it is for me.
You have to constantly be learning and then putting what you learn into practice. And it’s exactly this practice that makes you good at what you do. The more you practice the more experience you gain and the more your skills improve. The more you practice the more you progress.
“I don’t want my alarm to wake me up, I’m at my best when my body wakes up on it’s own. That way I know I got enough sleep. So I can’t help but hit snooze a few times.”
In theory, that sounds great. Here’s the problem: Your alarm didn’t wake you up.
It seems all the opportunities I want in life are coming to me before I’m ready for them. I have so much to learn, and I absolutely love learning. I love challenging myself to do better. I’m very driven.
Sometimes though, my drive is a mask to cover the insecurities I feel about my career path.
I have a list of a hundred goals to accomplish, but it seems every time I start pursuing one of my goals it happens at the expense of another goal. Then, three weeks later, I’m torn. I feel accomplished for pursuing one thing but guilty for abandoning another.
I want to be perfectly qualified, experienced and confident in my ability. I want to love what I’m doing and know I’m good at it. But I’m no where close. I’m pretty good at faking it, but secretly I’m still dreading the day my coworkers figure out just how little I know. I really am not the best person for my job.
This week I came to the realization this is actually a good thing. In fact, it’s a very good thing. Let me explain.
