I Didn't Sign Up For That!

How many times do we find ourselves buried in responsibilities and overwhelmed with task that we are literally dreading?  OMG! I can remember the numerous days I consistently walked around with pressure on my forehead because I had taken on or been delegated to do things I just didn’t want to do.  When you are reliable and responsible, people tend to call on you; they know you are capable of delivering.  They see an opportunity to pass the baton to you, and your failure or unwillingness to say "no" puts you in a place where you are overwhelmed and often confused. Ever find yourself trying to manage your dreams and someone else’s too or thinking "I didn't sign up for that?"

Now don’t get me wrong, I believe in serving and helping others visions come into fruition.  We definitely need each other, but we must be mindful not to assume so much responsibility that it interferes with our own peace of mind.  Set boundaries.  You must be okay with telling people “no.”  You don’t owe an explanation to anyone if you choose not to do something.  Stop draining yourself and pouring into others and their visions without pouring into your own.  Make an effort to spend as much or more time working on your goals as you do helping someone fulfill theirs.

 

At the end of the day, it is imperative that we operate with precision.  Make sure that whatever you are doing is enriching and working toward a greater good.  Often times we are unable to pinpoint our purpose in life because we are too engaged with the unfolding of someone else’s that does not intertwine with our own.   It is time that you know where you are going and how you are going to get there.  Today I challenge you to free yourself of anything that you “didn’t sign up for.” 

It’s time to declutter.  Let go of any roles that you have assumed out of “obligation.”  This is your life.  God has a path for you.  It is time that you learn to operate in that vein.  Everything and everyone you need to fulfill that purpose will align, when you align.  Once you begin to fulfill the purpose of which God created you, happiness, peace, and joy will come.

Finding and operating in your own lane will enrich your life. It is the best gift you can give yourself.  It is time that you stop just existing for the sake of others and past time you start living and walking in your God given purpose.
