Have you ever experienced something that challenged your comfort zone? God has an amazing way of pulling us out of our comfort zone to not only walk in our purpose and to do His will, but for us to work on certain shackles in hopes of becoming better people. Well for me I am working on the shackle of pride. Many of you know, that doing a women’s conference was never on my list of goals. I had never attended one prior to mine. So when God gave me the vision to organize the Unstoppable You Women’s Conference, I figured it was my burden alone to bare. Needless to say, I learned many tough lessons along the way. I was afraid to ask for help, for fear of people saying no or not following through. My pride blinded my sight. Overall, that old saying applied, “A closed mouth won’t get fed” or maybe you heard of “You have not, because you ask not.” Humility was a key lesson learned.
I have come to realize and understand, that when God calls you to do something, He provides all the resources to be successful. God showed me that all the networking events I attended and the collection of business cards I gathered was for a reason. So now I am opening my mouth and letting people know what I need. And if by chance I am told “no” or “not right now,” I can respect that and move forward. But if I never ask, I will never know and I will continue to do without. Being Unstoppable You is a never-ending journey of self-reflection and self-improvement. Unstoppable You is the person who seeks help, knowing they can’t do it all alone. Be encouraged and put your pride aside.
