Destiny

livingwholecoaching

I have talked a lot about purpose, destiny, and living out your true life.  The reason this is so heavy on my heart is that I have finally begun to live my best life.  God showed me exactly why I was created, the purpose of my existence.  Until then I didn’t know what real living was.  I am so excited to share this feeling with whom ever I meet.

It is such a wonderful feeling to get up in the morning and know your purpose.  To know exactly what you were put on this earth to do.  To make a difference in the world, whether it is in the small circle where you live or if it is a larger territory of the world.  It is worth it.

It took me a long time to reach this place of completeness, a place of purpose, but I am so glad that I am finally here.  And  I want to share it with everyone I talk to.  My desire is to stir up enthusiasm in every person that I meet and help them reach their full potential in life.  There is no greater satisfaction for me.  This is my purpose.  This is my destiny.

I thank God everyday for allowing me to live my life to the fullest.  He has taken my life  from ordinary to extraordinary and I am having the time of my life!

Will you allow me to help you reach your full potential and live a life of purpose?  Contact me at lisa@thebutterflyjourney.net.

Why Are We Hurting?

livingwholecoaching

As I began to write my current book about my encounter with depression, I found out that a lot of women, especially Christian women, were suffering from some sort of hurt.  A deep wound of some sort and it astonished me.

But why are we hurting, when we have the victory in Jesus?  Why are we walking around with a smile on our faces and inside we are broke, busted, and disgusted?  I believe it begins with going back to the basics of who we are and what we believe.

Do you remember the child-like faith you had when you first became a Christian?  How you depended on God for everything?  We have gotten so systematic in our worship that we stray away from asking God to enter into our lives.  We can’t walk this road of life without Him and yet in still we try to and fail and end up depressed like I did.

My book takes you through my place of depression, the self-discovery of how I ended up there, and the healing that God gave me.  I was grateful for just being healed and then God did one other thing, showed me the true purpose of my life.

Living out my true destiny has been the best thing I have ever experienced!  I feel like I am truly living now!  Get back to the basics of your journey with God and see what He will do for you.

Faith

Getting Focused

Staying focused is one thing, but getting focused is another.  When I realized that I wanted (needed) a change in my life, I didn’t know where to start.

So I decided why not write a life plan for every area of my life.  It is designed like a business plan which includes a mission and vision statement.

The plan will allow you to laser in on the changes or goals at hand.  It should be a fluid document as sometimes you change in your thought process or you are still finding out exactly what your life should look like.  That is fine, this is your life plan, so no one can say that it’s wrong or right but you.  Essentially the plan should give you a definite plan of action.

I use my plan to make decisions about my life.  If a task or project falls within the goals that I am trying to accomplish then it may be something for me to consider.  For example I want to build my marketing business, so when the commission that I am a part of asked for someone to step up to chair the Marketing/PR committee, I didn’t even hesitate.  This experience will not only help the group reach it’s goals, but it will give me exposure to the very thing that I want to develop in.

You have to start with a plan, a roadmap of where you are and where you want to be and all the steps in between that will get you there.

Life with a purpose is more enjoyable to live.

Trust

Trust is a huge part of any relationship.  Essentially you can’t have a solid relationship with anyone without it.

As we live our lives we experience different situations in different relationships and those experiences become our measure of trust.  You hear people say all the time I have trust issues.  It means they have put together all of the experiences they have had and base their level of trusting others to the past relationships.

It is a dangerous position to be in because if you always judge each new relationship with the past you will never give an opportunity to someone who may actually be trustworthy.  This type of viewpoint will invade your future relationships and not allow you to fully experience a new level of trust.

I know that I can trust God, His record is flawless when it comes to trust.  He is faithful through and through.

Cultivate a new level of trust in new relationships and base your view by what you actual experience and not on your past.
