30 Ways to Simplify Your Life Series

#37 STOP DOING THINGS YOU DON'T DO WELL

"Do what you're good at and everything else will fall into place" ~ Willnet Crockett

"In all your ways know, recognize, & acknowledge HIM, & He will direct and make straight and plain your paths" ~ Proverbs 3:6

"Do you find yourself trying to keep up with everyone else you know when it comes to talent & ability? Ever find yourself falling short with some of those things? ANY person desiring to "simplify their life" must learn to give AT LEAST 80% of their time to their TOP 2 or 3 STRENGTHS and stop wasting time doing things they don't do well.

We are all encouraged by accomplishment; therefore, if we keep doing what makes us feel like a failure, we won't have the encouragement we need to enjoy our lives.

You don't have to do something well just because someone you know does it well. Just because you're not like someone else doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Be BOLD enough to stop doing things you don't do well and stop worrying about what other people think.

If everyone were good at all the same things, a lot of needs in this world would never be met. GOD equips each of us in different ways, and it is by working together, each with our own strengths & talents, that we accomplish HIS will."

~ Joyce Meyer "100 Ways to Simply Your Life

That's REAL! It's easy to be swayed toward wanting to be like THE JONES when it comes to talents and abilities especially when they're getting all the praise & admiration BUT you have to realize the only reason they're getting it is because THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOOD AT! THAT'S THE TALENT GOD GAVE THEM! Instead of trying to cultivate a talent YOU DON'T HAVE cultivate the one you do have and YOUR TALENT WILL MAKE A PLACE FOR YOU.

God has given us all special anointing and callings on our lives. Just because yours isn't in your face and "hey everybody lets look at him!" doesn't make it less valuable. It's been an observation of mine that when people start to embrace who they are and start being THE BEST THEM THEY CAN BE...that's when success comes.

So consider today what your TOP 2 or 3 strengths are and cultivate those....stop trying to dance if you have no rhythm, stop singing if you can't sing, and please stop writing these WACK POEMS AND RAPS if you can't write! GEEEEEEZZZZZZZ I'm so tired of it! lol
