Reading the Times: Preparing for Your Limitless Future

Sometimes you feel like life throws you curveballs right? Sometimes it feels like we're constantly reacting and, never truly in control.... 

But what if I told you that there's a way to navigate these twists and turns with grace and purpose? Listen in: Learning HOW to read the times of your life is one of the most useful skills you could ever develop. It’s a skill that will set you apart and advance you faster than those who don’t. Opportunity is always knocking, but is it your opportunity? And are you poised and prepared to answer the door? Is it YOUR season?

Life often takes us on a winding path, filled with unexpected detours. These detours, whether chosen or imposed upon us, can feel like setbacks. But what if we reframed them as preparation? Preparation that trains our mind and spirit to recognize the patterns of our lives so we can move accordingly.

Every experience, every challenge, every triumph – it's all part of the intricate tapestry of your journey.

 * Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that "there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."

 * Proverbs 27:17 encourages, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

Just as a skilled woodworker sharpens their axe before tackling a project, we must invest time in self-development. This "sharpening" period is crucial. It's about honing our skills, cultivating our talents, expanding our knowledge, facing our fears and learning the seasons of their rising and falling. It's about learning from every interaction, every book read, every conversation had.

Think of a flower. It takes time to bloom, to draw nourishment from the soil, to gather strength before it unfurls its beauty to the world. Similarly, we need to cultivate our inner strength, our resilience, and our wisdom.

The oak tree and the bamboo offer contrasting yet equally powerful lessons. The oak tree grows steadily, its strength evident in its sturdy trunk. The bamboo, however, spends its initial years deep underground, developing an extensive root system before it shoots up towards the sky. Both achieve greatness, but in their own time, in their own way.

Our journey may not be linear, but it's always moving forward. Trust that every step, every misstep, is leading you towards your destiny.

 * Jeremiah 29:11 assures us, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Here are some tips to help you prepare and seize the right opportunities:

 * Cultivate self-awareness: It is SUPER important for YOU to understand YOUR strengths, weaknesses, values, and passions.

 * Embrace continuous learning: Read, listen to podcasts, take courses, and engage in meaningful conversations. Commit to learning from EVERYTHING.

 

 * Practice intentionality in living: Be mindful of your thoughts, words, and actions. Do things purpose fully.
