Some Steps
5 steps will help you to find out what to do next in your life.
1. Clear Your Mind by Doing Something.
“Not knowing what you want is a lot better than knowing exactly what you want but not being able to get it, at least you have hope.” —Unknown
What is better?
Wanting what you want or wanting what God wants for you?
Accept the idea that God is smarter than you.
God wants you to learn to love.
- Do you love yourself?
- Do you eat right?
- Do you exercise?
- Do you need to clean up your act?
Prepare yourself, so that when you figure out what you should do, you can do it.
2. Take Action To Wake Up Your Conscious Mind.
“Self pity is a dead end road. You can make the choice to drive down it. It’s up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out” —Cheryl Stryed.
Stop giving power to what you think is your problems, and start trying to help someone else. Do not be addicted to depending on others to do things for you. Helping someone else, empowering others can change the flow of energy in yourself as it changes your focus.
3. Embrace the Power of Taking Small Steps with a This Month Challenge.
If you have started step one you are already eating and exercising, and your health should be getting better. You may need to revise those steps but you have the power to do so at anytime.
If you have done step two you are thinking about others and their problems rather than dwelling on your own. Step three is to put action to what you are thinking.
To get momentum on your journey to finding out what to do with your life. Set two or three realistic goals which include helping others as much as you would want help, or to be helped, yourself.
Write down these goals to remind you. Set a time to check your own progress and success, and religiously return to review the plan.
Spend time and energy doing something of value to improve conditions in the world for you and others. Figure that whatever you do this month you will revise and do more next month.
4. Seek The Wisdom and Knowledge of Others Who Have Been There Before.
“The more extensive a man’s knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be his power of knowing what to do” —Benjamin Disraeli
This is why you gather with others in Congregations of Record who are also seeking to be Doers of the Word. You not only may be helped by their experience, you can start helping them by sharing your own.
5. Do Whatever It Takes To Get To Know YOU.
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” —Theodore Roosevelt.
To find where you need to go and what you need to do, you need to know where you are at and how you got there. Be willing to know the whole truth, so that you can provide for it, with steps 1 through 4.
This means you must be honest about yourself, your weakness and your short comings. Do this knowing that you have begun the process of change.
