The Process of Becoming

Watch my morning commute video that goes with this blog HERE

Have you ever gotten discouraged by the amount of progress you were (or weren’t!) making in life?

Have you ever dealt with disappointment or sadness about where you are life?

Have you ever felt like you could do more, be more, but struggled to make changes?

These are all thoughts and feelings that I am intimately familiar with.  However, I want you to be encouraged today on your journey to becoming. Whatever you goals are for yourself you CAN achieve, you can BECOME your dream, but it takes a process.

This is the process of becoming and it is not an easy or elegant process.  It is not a linear progression and has many bumps along the way.  However, with consistently applied pressure you can reach your goals.

Firstly, remember that is a process.  It will take time, energy and purpose to become.  It will take mistakes, set backs, up sets and all other host of unexpected occurrences.  However, TAKE FAITH! and trust the process.  Keep working and believe that all of your energy is working towards greater even if you can not see it. Like the butterfly in the cacoon, there is work being done where we can not see.  Keep Pressing!

Secondly, it will require you to give some things up.  This could be people, habits, though processes, etc.  You must surround yourself with people who support your dream and vision and who can share with you in your becoming process.  The Bible says that one can chase a thousand, but two can chase ten thousand.  When you have someone to join along side of you, work becomes that much more productive.

Thoughts and habits also need to be evaluated and let go if they no longer serve who you are trying to become and what you are trying to achieve.  You MUST be intentional in the process of becoming and ensure that you are taking proactive action in life and that life is not just happening to you.

Thirdly, goal setting is an important aspect of becoming as well.  Write your dreams and goals.  Speak them out loud.  Use affirmations.  There is power in writing and speaking your goals in dreams.  There is creative power in the words that we write and speak!  Use it to your advantage to create your dreams into reality.  Commit yourself to doing at least one small thing towards your goals everyday.  You have to harness the power of the moment in your planning process.  Lofty goals and dreams are great, but the foundation of it is laid in how you structure your day, minute by minute, hour by hour.

Keep planting the seeds of growth in your life and you will certainly reap a harvest.
