Welcome back :)
It is such an amazing day today; I hope you got the chance to bask in the sunshine, even if for a few quick moments.
Let's continue with my reflections from Detola Amure's book, Slay Doubt.
Enjoy your preparation season
Here are some points that stood out to me during the live review of this chapter.
Detola helped me understand the need and importance of preparation. She advised that the opportunities I've been waiting on will surely come and then the preparation will speak. This led to a deeper conversation on what it means in this context to prepare.
Detola highlighted some key areas to focus on.
- Attitude. Attitude is almost everything.
This is something I'd heard previously, but hearing it mentioned again pushed me to do a quick mental scan of how I've been showing up regarding my attitude. I quickly realised that I've not always been the best at this and as a result may have missed out on some opportunities. Sometimes, as we do from time to time, I let my emotions get the best of me. Detola reminded us that the one with the right attitude attracts opportunities for success, that individual wins, so I will be constantly reviewing my attitude and work on improving when see that I'm not showing up positively. - Mentors. Surround yourself with mentors.
Detola also highlighted the importance of mentors. I mentioned in a previous post how I'm working with a coach and it's been amazing. I am discovering things about myself I wasn't aware of. I'm fortunate to have mentors who speak into my life and instruct me in specific areas. I find this to be an invaluable resource and I encourage you to get a mentor in an area of your life you need help with. - Seasons. Know our season and adjust to change.
This point helped me see more clearly that God is more concerned about my character than my comfort. Character building affects positively or negatively my nation, the people I'm called to serve.
