Do they align with your thoughts and actions? And do those thoughts and actions align with your goals and dreams?

So many questions and very few answers. Or maybe more like confusion on steroids.

Dr. Caroline Leaf (Switch on Your Brain Every Day) wrote, “Cognitive dissonance cannot be hidden. Living a lie is a roadblock on the road to success and happiness and will prevent you from living up to your full potential.”

Amazing how we can get in our own way. What we say to ourselves does not align with what we are doing or even what we believe. We just scatter the puzzle pieces forcing some together that appear to make sense.

Then, all you’re stuck with is what you think works.

When you say or do something that doesn’t fit with who you are, and you can’t convince your brain to believe otherwise, the disconnect in life grows stronger while your desires become weakened.

You cannot sustain a life that is opposite to who you are becoming.

Your patterns must be congruent with the lifestyle you are creating.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now!

You get to decide and plan your day according to who you are becoming. There’s no need to force what doesn’t fit. Commit to being the good tree that produces good fruit.

1. KNOW who you are. – You can’t sustain who you don’t know. Your reflection is pivotal in learning how to navigate the fields of fear. Look at yourself in the mirror. Understand your beliefs. Ask more questions of yourself and dig deeper. That WHY does matter.
2. CLEAR the potholes. – You are on a journey. This is the time to get rid of what doesn’t fit with you and fill in the gaps with what matters. Sometimes that means you are saying more NOs and fewer YESes.
3. LIVE your life. – This is the life that God created you to live, on purpose for a purpose. Now, you might be somewhat hesitant because you don’t know what you don’t know. But until you try on the life God created you for, how will you know if it’ll fit? You can’t know until you try it on.

Stop living a lie and pretending to be someone you’re not. It’s exhausting, and it’s not the life you really desire. So take this first step.

“One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!” ~ Kristianne Wargo

When God looks at you, He never settled.

When you look at yourself, do not settle.

PRAYER: May your morning thoughts set the tone of your day so you can live out what God has planned for you in His way.

Start today with the truth.
