Now What??
Deut.: 31:6
"So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you."
What Do You Do Now???
Don't miss what I am asking... We are ALL in a hole right now, but this "hole" will not last forever. So, what are you doing in here? What are you preparing for? Success or Failure? Yes, our plans and routines are out of whack.. but SO WHAT?
By wallowing in self pity about the current circumstances and obsessing about the crisis... You Are Preparing for FAILURE.
Let's be real... Some of us have been in a hole since before the Covid-19 outbreak... we have not prepared for success. So, What Do We Do?
Everyone wants to be successful, but there are very few of us that know what success looks like for them. Before we can operate at a maximum level towards that success, some of us need to pray and seek God's face again and clearly see and focus on what God has already commanded us to do!
Once that is done... there are 3 things we need to do to get us headed in the right direction during this "crisis".
#1. IDENTIFY HOW DEEP YOUR HOLE IS...
We need to understand how far we are from the success that we are aiming for. So, write down EVERYTHING you need to do to come out Stronger.
What do you need to change about yourself, or your career that you have been procrastinating about? What have you been wanting/needing to do to put yourself in a better position to succeed?
#2. CREATE ACTION STEPS
What are the very specific steps you know that you need to take in order to execute everything on your list?
Look at your list of things you need to accomplish. YOU HAVE TIME NOW. Write down what action steps you are going to take to get your list in motion?
#3. EXECUTE, EXECUTE, EXECUTE... You Have Time Now
There is a thing in psychology called "Paralysis By Over-Analysis". People won't move until they have analyzed ever contingency... It's one thing to plan, but you don't need to know everything about Everything before you start.
Get Up And EXECUTE! Everyday that you wait, someone you need to minister to is loses their fight with something.
Remember...
THERE IS SOMETHING INSIDE YOU THAT THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR
Life is different and will continue to be different even after this crisis. Question is: HOW WILL YOU BE BETTER?
