Have you ever stopped long enough to consider what might be hindering you from (fill in the blank)? Were/are you even aware of what is stopping You from becoming your best you? Or is this not even relevant for you? Are you in your happy place and see no need for growth or accomplishments or whatever your goals are because you are quite satisfied?
One of the biggest threats we can face is a sense of self-satisfaction (?), of complacency (?), of staying securely in our comfort zone. The last words some people want to hear is 'thinking outside the box'! What is your story? Are you staying safe and secure? Are you sticking your toe out to test the waters? Are you rushing headlong into a future you have no idea about? Actually, none of those actions would be a good choice/decision. But in the last analysis... it is always your decision as to who you are and where you are and what you want for you next.
In the midst of all this self-introspection, grant yourself some grace. None of us are our best 'us' - the point is to have as a goal the continuous mindset that a high priority is to continue to become our best. Turn to the Lord and seek His answers as to your now and the plans He has for your future (Jeremiah 29:11). You really don't need to know the end from the beginning - He has you securely in His hand. Look to His answers for right now, what's the next step He is leading you toward?
A woeful, 'I don't know!' occurs for all of us at times. Or a, is this really from you Lord, or am I truly equipped? Questions are good. They help defined and refine. But questions have answers... they are not meant to be excuses or something to hide from or avoided. You have your answers and they aren't being hid from you. What we all seem to 'forget' is that the Lord loved us first - He believes in us. But we also need to believe. Belief is a strong foundation and help to thwart any hindrances.
