Forty is the End

Listen you'll the season is wrapping early because God has spoken and I need to get really focused in the  second quarter of 2022.   In the meantime allow God to set you on F.I.R.E., can't wait to talk to you in the Fall.

Do you struggle with your goals and just don't know where to begin?  It  can be frustrating to start something and seem that you never have the follow through to complete.Over the past few weeks we have discussed the pillars to mastering discipline over 40.  Today we wrap up with our 4th pillar execution, which is supported by our faith, intention and relationships.  You can't achieve discipline without the F.I.R.E.

Do you know that the things that we don't address will persist?  It can be scary to apologize and admit our faults.  But, first go to God and seek his forgiveness so you gain the strength to seek it from other whether it is received or not.Healing through relationships is challenging, remember they are or so worth, because no matter what anyone else says you can't make it alone.

Do you struggle with relationships?  Have you been hurt and now you keep yourself guarded?  I have done this for many years and I used to think it was ok because I only did it to people on the outside.  However, I realized that I was actually more guarded in the relationships with the people that were closest to me.This week in our 1st episode of our 2 part relationship pillar we discuss the hurt that we have experienced from relationships.Previous episodes:God's IntentionGot FaithWhen Life HappensWe're Backwww.fortyistheend.com

Do you put your trust in people and things?  Have you found it hard to move forward when your back is up against the wall?  I know I have and it can seem daunting and unbearable to make a move when I am afraid, confused and uncertain.Faith is complete trust or confidence in God.  Do you have faith?  Let's talk about it.References:Exodus 14: 15-22Previous Episodes:We're BackWhen Life Happenswww.fortyistheend.com

Do you ever make plans and then something comes up?  I'm sure your saying, "uh, yeah girl all the time!"  Well that has been happening to me over and over again this year!  However, I've been able to continue to see progress in my life because I'm learning to not be so rigid and to adapt and modify, where I can.Sometimes, as we get older we become so set in our ways to our own detriment.  Our ability to be flexible will give a space and opportunity to move forward in the face of challenges.Last Weeks' EpisodeProvoke Insite InspireTia V FitnessForty is the End
