Welcome back!
Every time a destiny is fulfilled, the world advances. Your destiny is a vital part of God’s plan for our larger community. It is a sacred honor to pursue it. It’s also the greatest thrill of a lifetime to engage in a task so big it’s spooky and so meaningful it not only changes what you do, but who you are. Somehow no matter the difficulty of the journey, I ultimately arrived at a much better place than the one I left. To me that’s the good stuff in life, and I hope it will be for you as well.
When we rise up to claim our destiny, it lifts us high enough to become visible. This attracts the attention of others, and I have yet to talk to a successful person who didn’t encounter opposition or adversity, especially at the beginning of their journey. When you begin to change how you approach life, it will by definition change your relationships with everyone around you. Handled skillfully, most of your connections can weather the adjustment period and emerge even stronger. Unfortunately however, some problems really are intractable. Some folks will try to overtly or covertly throw you off course. We all know people who struggle with jealousy, insecurity, immaturity issues, or who simply find your happy journey an affront to their own misery. They are the types of folks who make a point of interfering with other people’s progress in life, and their behavior can quickly escalate into bullying. We’ll cover that more in-depth next time.
Until then, I’ll be praying for you to claim your destiny, come what may. It really is that important!
