#DontRush Challenge Yourself To Be Excellent

A lot of these #DontRushChallenge videos are coming through on social media. The concept of the video is to make an instant change from busted to beautiful, or from simple to suave quickly, based on the videos I've seen.

The irony is that the transition time is actually "rushed", but the lyrics say otherwise. Sometimes, I find myself in an anxious mindset that resembles this concept. I don't think I'm alone. It's so easy to see awesome things people are doing or even have our own ideas, and want a quick fix to get to them done, or to think we should be in a certain place, at a certain time according to our own plans.  

I had to remind myself today as a writer, that although I want to get books out, I just can't rush the process for the sake of getting them out quick, while the digital rat race is at an all time high! I was reminded by spirit to be excellent in anything that I do. 

If that takes time then that's fine as long as I'm happy with the work I've done, it's quality, and it's impactful to somebody else. At the end of the day if I've manifested that thing/idea which I set my mind to with the excellence I received when it was given to me, then I would be providing the best service to myself and others who partake of whatever that thing is.

I posted a tweet the other day similar to the concept of not rushing, but reaching for excellence. 

Be BRAVE enough to do the hard things! They show you just you how
strong,
creative,
and brilliant you are!

Most often the hard thing is to avoid the quick fix, it's to avoid settling for mediocre results for what you dream of. It's bypassing the beaten path. Don't rush your process. Trust and wait on GOD's timing while you work in excellence, that's what I plan to do.

3 Ways You Can Still Win In 2020

It's a great time to go really hard at fulfilling your purpose. It's winning season. Not just a year's worth, but for a whole decade. 

It is not just another new year, it is a whole new decade. 
These are things you can do to find yourself winning in 2020.

1. Pick an area such as mindset, courage, endurance, or growth.  Think of ideas about things you can practice over the next 21 days to help you strengthen your focus area for your new decade. For me, I want to strengthen my consistency. For the next 21 days, I have a planning journal of things I need to get done. I have decided to make a commitment and do everything possible in order to ensure I bring consistency into my new decade.

2. Think about what baggage you are carrying around with you at this present moment that is causing you to be weighed down, and is putting a real hindrance in your progression. Write it down and create a short statement that directly speaks authority over that obstacle.  For me, I struggle with acceptance. I dread putting my content (poetry, blog post, videos) out because I feel it won't resonate with anyone.  I often think it won't help anyone and no 1 will like it.  So my Affirmation statement over my acceptance baggage is: 

3. Visualize your optimal self. What type of person would you be if you had no struggles, money was no issue, and you had the ability to complete any task on earth. What could that task potentially be? Who could that task potentially serve? How would you like people to feel when they encountered your service or whatever it is you have to offer? How would you feel to know that people are feeling that way? How would you celebrate your win? Write down these answers, and create an "Optimal Self Avatar". It will help you recognize where you aspire to go in your next decade and will give you some ideas to determine if you are on the right path. 

Be intentional about winning in this season. Really figure out what is your path, and make the necessary steps to ensure you are walking down it with the power that you have.
