We all feel like i need to do it, I have to do it, I should be doing it, I I I!The issue there is its doesn't leave much room for God to do what God does. Lots of room for you tho. But i don't think i generally try to control the outcome. But I have learned that we all are in some capacity: Control freaks. Basically, we left God out in favor of our own power and might and get bent out of shape when God actually wants to show up for us.How do I know? Cuz I've had many a come Jesus moments about control issues i never thought I owned. Seriously, I don't feel like people who know me we would say I'm a control freak. That anytime you're put in a position where you actually need to lean in this concept of God filling in the gap, it feels like unwanted subjugation. ![]() God kind of gets to take care of the rest.The issue is, we have a hard time doing that.If you're a high achiever you know what I mean.You're used to doing it all.You're used to being the strong one.You're used to not needing help.You built an entire identity around it and then created so many walls around yourself. But that's a topic for another day. But once I've done that, once I've taken inventory of what I'm called to do and then I do it. ![]() It's taking the divinely inspired action every day - sometimes that divinely inspired action is rest, btw. It's doing what i feel called to do when i feel called to do it. 1 i didn't give it to myself and therefore 2, i cant accomplish it myself. My job is the showing up piece. And I'm not supposed to. As an entrepreneur, as a CEO, we often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders.I think we have glorified this whole hustle culture, and if you know me, you know that im all for showing up. I set high goals for myself, and then I do my best to sit back and just listen. It reminds me that i really can't do it all. ![]() So here we are.But I've had this written on a post-it note next to my desk for years. Wanted to drop in and give a little more than 2200 characters about this.
