Heard a great sermon last week on baggage (great job Pastor Mo mwchurch.com).
“Baggage is past experiences, decisions, or long held beliefs and ideas that become weights in your life.”
Do you find yourself getting stuck? Not being able to move forward but maybe unsure of why. Are you stuck in your paradigm that tells you we can’t do that? That won’t work here. Pretty sure that can’t happen for me. That has never been done before. Maybe these influences are your experiences, past decisions or past beliefs that are keeping you stuck in your current reality?
So what do we do? If we want to move into the future we see for ourselves or our organization it is time to let go of some of your baggage. Let’s begin to challenge those experiences. Do they really define us and this new moment? Let’s challenge those decisions from our past that maybe held us back. Do those decisions define us and these new, scary, opportunities? Are the beliefs we have had for a while still the correct beliefs for this new world? For this new season? For the possibility of something new and exciting. Yep, Baggage. Yes, these are weights that hold us down.
Are you up to the challenge off setting down the weights that are holding you back? Let’s take the next 30 days and begin to let go. Let’s have a little faith and try something new. You got this! Let us begin to move toward our new desired reality. Let’s move toward our new desired impact and results!
