Society seems to have placed so many different stigmas of what a person should be. Everywhere you look you probably will see that you should be a certain size, have a certain career, have certain things in life to be thought of as an important person. Being a plus size cute chic, wearing a certain attire, looking a certain way, having a certain type of confidence about myself is not the most favorable. Society says that we are to look, act and be a certain way. Not to exclude any type of woman….WOMEN in general we are breaking barriers as society puts up more just for us to break them over and over again.
But what happens in those moments when in fact you are entering into another season and level of your life and you are going into a war with yourself and your destiny? What happens when the dust settles and you realize that to reach the other side of purpose, you are going to have to go through abnormal and unusual circumstances which to the naked eye says oh shes a failure, shes a nobody…I told you so…!! Many times we face so many various situations that we just do not understand why and how but we have something deep on the inside of us that says I’m going to make it!
Even when we do not understand the who, what, when, where and why we have to trust the process. Lets talk about process! The definition of process is a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. Process is great when you see progression, but process is hard to continue when you don’t hear, see or feel the results that YOU want! Understand process does not care about how what you feel it just knows that there is an end result that must occur.
Process is similar to the four season – Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Each season you will notice that the weather alters as well as the environment. You can identify seasonal changes by the characteristics of things such as in the Spring weather will start to get warmer, longer days with Daylight Savings Time, flowers begin to bloom, Summer is usually the hottest days of the year, of course its break time for school and vacations take place, In Autumn, leaves begin to change color and fall, cool breezy air is now the feel of touch and we have many things to be thankful for during Thanksgiving and there is Winter which is the coldest season, in some places they experience snow and we gear up for a New Year!
When seasons come and change they do not adjust for your liking, you adjust for the change. I’ve never physically seen a person say “I love summer and I’m not adjusting anything, its 30 degrees, snowing in the winter time so I refuse to wear a coat” Yeah you gone freeze baby if you don’t grab that coat. When seasons change you adjust to your surroundings even when you don’t like what you feel! In process you have to adjust to the feeling and believe the outcome.
In believing the outcome of process you have to have a plan! The famous quote “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” is definitely a true and powerful statement. You have brilliant ideas, great vision, perfect dreams but you have yet to begin the process. You can buy the ingredients for a cake and have a taste for it but there is still a process to having the cake on your plate – it won’t become a reality in the box! In order for you to say Hello Purpose, you have to yes to the process! It goes hand and hand! Yes it hurts, you don’t like it, you don’t like the results at first, you may have failed, many people may leave you, you may change your mind many times however to build endurance, strength and a positive outcome today change your mindset! Tell yourself, I don’t understand this process but I trust God! I’m trusting this process! I’m saying Hello to Purpose!
