HELP! I’m Stuck……
You’re working hard, being diligent in completing the behaviors that are necessary for success, but you’re not seeing results. What do you do?
Do you give up and throw the towel in?
NO!
What does it mean to be an overcomer?
“A person who prevails in spite of opposition, difficulties, weakness, etc.”
The word overcomer in the Greek means being victorious; prevailing; conquering; overcoming.
1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to
mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But
when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” –Calvin Coolidge
What happens when you’re doing all the things but you see it isn’t working?
You are an OVERCOMER so this little challenge doesn’t throw you off! You analyze the “what”, the “why”, the “how” so you can get 1% better. Then, you do what my dad always taught us kids when we were growing up…..”You pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again!” You jump back into the work and find what will work for you. The answer is there, we just may need to find the right solution.
It’s in the “hard” challenges of life that we grow. How is your growth coming along?
Don’t stay stuck my friend, God has put a desire, mission, calling on your life and someone is waiting for you to step into your calling! I’m preaching to myself and hope this helps you too. Recommit to your calling and get to the work!
