How you can find yourself

12/21/2025

In the Bible, excuses are often linked to fear or spiritual laziness or sloth. When God calls us to MOVE, our flesh often creates excuses to stay in our "comfort zone." When we operate in our comfort zone, we feel like we're in a safe space. Outcomes are predictable, little action is taken yielding little impact. You feel comfortable because you have accepted and are just used to your current environment.

We often tell God we are waiting on Him, when really, He is waiting on us to step out of our comfort zones. We say we are committed to the calling, but our daily habits suggest we are committed to our convenience.

The Bible is clear: Faith is an active verb. James tells us that faith without works is dead (James 2:26).

Don't let your excuses rob you of your harvest.

Pressure reveals your hidden strength. Don’t run from it…grow into it.

There’s a difference between niceness and kindness. Niceness is about how you appear (agreeable), but kindness is about why you act (benevolence). Nice is about being polite, pleasant, and following social norms (surface-level), while kind is about genuine care, empathy, and and involves taking action from the heart (deep, intentional).

Pray attention: When behavior doesn't back up words, it signifies a disconnect between someone's stated intentions and their actual character. Actions are the ultimate truth-teller, not empty words, and often pointing to potential manipulation, toxic inconsistency, or deeper issues.

Your first version of anything will suck.

So will your second. Probably your tenth too.

This isn't a bug. It's the price of entry.

Go look at anyone you admire. Find their early work. It's bad. Rough. Stiff. Amateur.

Now look at what they're doing now. Completely different person.

That gap isn't talent. It's reps.

Here's what nobody tells you: The goal of starting isn't to be good. The goal of starting is to start. That's it. That's the whole assignment.

Perfectionism disguised as "waiting until I'm ready" is just fear with better marketing.

The people winning right now? They published garbage for years while you were still planning.

You don't get good, then start.

You start, then get good.

Ship the bad version. It's the only way to unlock the better one.

Progress stopped feeling frustrating once I understood that setbacks were not failures, they were movement.

Every stumble taught me timing, patience, and balance.

I wasted years fighting the parts of the journey that did not look like progress.

But growth is messy by design.

You learn by missteps, recalibrations, and moments that bruise your ego.

Nothing is wasted if you are paying attention.

Forward momentum is built by showing up, even when the rhythm feels off.

Once you stop resisting the process, everything starts to flow.🧘‍♂️🏞

In a culture obsessed with nonstop productivity and the glorification of relentless effort, Brené Brown’s reflections offer a much-needed pause. Her work on vulnerability and courage reveals that beyond sheer hustle lies a different kind of power - one rooted in grace. This isn’t about grinding harder or faster but about showing up with honesty, compassion, and presence. Grace opens doors that hustle alone can’t, inviting us into spaces where real connection and transformation happen.

This emphasis on grace as a sustaining force finds a clear resonance in the work of the philosopher and psychoanalyst Luce Irigaray. In ‘To Be Two’, Irigaray explores how relationality, being truly present and responsive to others, forms the foundation of ethical life. She argues that authentic connection requires more than willpower or effort; it demands openness, patience, and a gentle attentiveness that can’t be rushed or forced. This attentiveness is a form of grace, a way of being that cultivates understanding and nurtures growth.

Similarly, the contemporary thinker and psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin, in ‘Beyond Doer and Done To’, examines how mutual recognition and vulnerability create the conditions for genuine dialogue and change. Benjamin shows that power exercised through domination or sheer force, akin to hustle, ultimately fractures relationships. By contrast, power enacted through acknowledgment and respect, which requires a kind of grace, fosters resilience and transformation.

This lesson extends beyond the personal. In politics and social movements, grace can be a radical force. Choosing empathy over anger, patience over immediate victory, and dialogue over division often leads to more lasting change. Such grace requires courage, it’s an active engagement with hardship that refuses to be reduced to mere hustle or brute force.

Ultimately, Brené Brown’s insight invites us to rethink how we navigate life’s challenges. While hustle may fuel ambition, grace sustains it. It teaches us to pause, to listen, and to meet ourselves and others with generosity. In that space, struggle transforms into resilience, and real power emerges - not from the frantic chase but from the calm, steady presence of grace.
