So many of us justify why everyone else should live out their dreams. There is no need for you to. You’re okay with other people succeeding. So you and I take a backseat and let everyone else go to the front row.

Yet what happens in your heart? Do you have any regrets? Do you wish you would have done something earlier than waiting five or ten years to pursue your goals?

What’s crazy is when you reason out why other people should be using their gifts over yours. Reluctance becomes a habit. And there you sit on the back row.

And finally, it becomes clearer; 20/20 hindsight. You see what has been clouding your mind and your decisions. You realize that you are building from the values of comfort and safety; what is known and familiar.

But sometimes you look good from the back.

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:7

The K.I.S.S. ~ Forsake your fears!

It’s time to surrender it all. You have to be willing to walk by faith. Be reckless in getting off the back row.

You don’t have to be so afraid of the gifts and talents you have been given. Stand up boldly and walk forward.

“For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” ~ Isaiah 41:13

Imagine how you could change the world you touch when you forsake your fears.

Imagine how you would feel knowing that you impacted one life because you were willing to stand up for your own life.

Instead of running to get the best seat on the last row, run faster to the front.

Forsake your fears.

Surround yourself with other women who will lift you up and encourage you. Pray for strength and ask God to guide each step. Ready your heart to be a blessing to others.

Forsake your fears.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!”
