Slay Doubt Challenge - Chapter 7 Reflections


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

This chapter examines the preparation we need to go through as we wait for opportunities to show up.

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. 
My takeaway from this session is not to rush the preparation period, invest in my coaches and mentors, humble myself to listen to and do what they instruct, and know and understand the season I'm in and adjust accordingly.

Happy New Month

Hello,  How are you doing? Can you believe it, we're in the second half of the year, just like that and what an eventful year it's been. It feels like only yesterday when we were happily chanting happy new year and looking forward with expectation.  Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? Isaiah 43:18  What a challenging year it's been. From the natural disasters reported at the start of the year, to the current global pandemic, to the current fight for justice for the lives lost at the hands of those in authority.  Faced with these uncertainties, and what we now term the new normal, many don't know how they'll make it through, but I'd like to encourage you to  keep pressing forward despite all the challenges. With less than six months to go, there's no telling what you and I can accomplish in between that time. Don't give up hope, kee...
