A spiritual comment and prayer to begin the day with Ruth Yimika Afolabi

Good Morning,

Although vision is associated mostly with business and work, it is an important part of any area of our lives. Being clear on our direction helps keep us focused and drives us forward. When we understand our vision in line with our purpose, it can completely transform our lives. So, why is it that so often, the things we need to do to push our vision further are the things we procrastinate most on?

Until recently, I have often said no to doing talks and public speaking in fear of what other people may think of me, even though I knew it was something that would benefit me in the long run.
Since saying yes to an offer to speak in public and pushing myself out of my comfort zone I have realised that it is a privilege to share my story and to be given the opportunity to connect with many amazing individuals.

The root cause of why we procrastinate can come from various fears, but knowing that God is able to help me in every area or life helps me to embrace His peace rather than leaning into any fear.

I have also come to learn that it is as important to ensure that we are working for our vision as much as we are dreaming or praying about it. Using the time we have now to prepare for when opportunities arise means that we are ready and have set ourselves up for the best possible outcome.

Today I pray that God grants you the courage to pursue your dreams wholeheartedly and that He gives you the clarity to look further than the fear of failure and perceptions. I pray that He gives you wisdom for your next steps and encourages you at the right time, so that your vision will become a reality.
