What's The Next Best Thing?
I'm a part of an entrepreneurs group at church and during one of our meet ups last year, another member talked about a book he had read and how it really asks/ challenges people to think about the next best step.
That Sunday (I think) after hesitation and a God orchestrated moment, I asked my Senior Pastor to pray for a particular situation and the question he asked me (in a nutshell) was "What's the next best thing/ step I can pray for?" In other words, if there's one step that could make a difference right now what would it be?
What's the next best thing you need to do to move forward in becoming the best you possible? Do you need to wake up an hour earlier than usual to get ahead of the day? Perhaps sacrifice a couple hours per week to exercise? Is the next step to pick up the phone and invite someone out for coffee to build friendship? What's that the next best leap of faith you need to make?
Someone may have to:
Apply for that new role / promotion even though you feel you're only 8% of the job description. Just because you feel unqualified doesn’t mean you are. Look at your expertise!
Contact a manufacturer about producing a product
Sharing your dreams and visions for the future with someone wise and trustworthy to keep accountable
Getting down on your knees and saying "hi" to God for the first time in years
Whatever your next best step is, YOU CAN DO IT! You have everything you need inside of you now, including wisdom, to take the jump. Don't fear everything and run, but face everything and run!
