Happy New Year! Welcome to another new year! A fresh new start. Yet so familiar – have we felt the same last January with this fresh-new-start feeling? However, are we still carrying forward the same doubts, frustrations and unfulfilled dreams from past years?
The Hidden Costs of Staying Stuck:
- Lack of Peace – your soul longs for purpose but you settle for comfort, making you feel frustrated and restless
- Delayed Dreams – your dreams are still in the threshold of becoming a reality, being buried year after year
- Stolen Joy – your joy is incomplete as you realise you’re “settling” in life, staying safe, and not fulfilling your purpose or calling
The Reason We are Stuck:
- Unhealed Hearts – our hearts continue to harbour past mistakes, failures and traumas
- Unforgiveness – we can’t forgive others, even ourselves, which hinders us from moving forward
- Self-Reliance – we rely on our own strength and we want to do things our own way, instead of trusting God
Question: Do you want to stay where you are for another year?
Moving from Stuck to Aligned
This year, I am venturing into a new project – to revamp my Intentional Living Series which I started in 2020 – into a 12-week guided journey, using the CREATE Framework:
- C – Crossroad: recognise where God is inviting you to pause and pay attention
- R – Rebuild: allow God to heal and rebuild the foundations of your soul
- E – Establish: form structures to sustain your restored heart
- A – Action: step into God aligned action
- T – Testing: start small with mini-experiments, then go beyond your limits
- E – Elevate: steward influence and grow with humility and faithfulness
This journey has two parts:
- Restoration – Crossroad, Rebuild and Establish modules – this come first because God doesn’t release what our hearts aren’t ready to do
- Calling – Action, Testing and Elevate modules – next comes our divine calling, which comes out naturally from a heart that has been restored and made whole again
My Invitation
This is my invitation to you today: live with intention – from restoration to aligning with your divine calling.
Stop drifting in frustration and missed opportunities for another year. Know that doing nothing different – not changing – will costs you more than you know.
Question: Are you willing to be allow God to restore your soul so that you can fulfil your divine calling?
