Do you know that it’s okay to have a pause in the pursuit of the goals and dreams that have been placed on your heart?
This is something I truly learned over the past several months.
It’s easy to have so much singular focus on that new goal or dream you forget to step back and enjoy the things you’ve already been blessed with.
You are so focused on achieving this new thing that has been placed on your heart that you overlook the goals and dreams you’ve already achieved.
In the process, you stop enjoying life to the fullest because you’re so focused on what is yet to come instead of what’s right in front of you.

Because you’ve been programmed to put all effort into pursuing our dreams and goals, taking a pause is difficult to adjust to.
You feel that if you pause for a moment someone else will swoop in and take that thing which was destined for you.
You feel that if you aren’t continually grinding away and working towards that goal then it will never happen.
This thinking prevents you at times from enjoying the life you currently have.

In my mind there are two reasons why this type of thinking is wrong.
1. No one can take away from you what God has already planned for your life!
2. God’s timing is always perfect and the pause you take will not deter Him from providing the blessing!

Yes, we each must put in the work required to achieve the goals and dreams that have been placed on our hearts.
But we must not let that singular focus prevent us from enjoying the blessed life God has already provided for each and every one of us.
Take time to pause and enjoy life!
I did and my life is now richer because of it and I’m energized and renewed to continue the pursuit!
