LEAP BEFORE YOU LOOK - Elvira Jordan



Good Morning Beloved! 😊

In all of our dealings, especially when it comes to certain critical issues, we are meant to analyze situations, think through issues and watch closely until we can take decisions that truly matter… decisions that  will  lead to positive outcomes. 
This is the most advisable approach in life! 

Before I switch to the mischievous mood in the air today, I want us to first of all understand that critical thinking should be a constant given in our lives. Man is only termed a “rationale being” because of his ability to be objective when the need arises. 

However, today feels like one of those days where we will not have to think too much before we get things done. 

There are certain things that have been left hanging, left unsaid, left undone because we have been trying to be too careful. 

There are ways we may have been micromanaging ourselves into a corner because our critical mind is trying to get the best out of the situation. Everything has been at a standstill because we don’t want to be wrong.

The mischievous spirit in me today wants me to let you know that NOTHING WILL GO WRONG as long as you are making efforts.

It is time to stop looking over your shoulders expecting something to pop out of the darkness.
Enough of sitting and wondering when the other shoe will drop.
You have been siting and waiting for the right time for so long that the right time is about to pass you by. 

It’s time to get up and take that jump. 
Every edge cannot be a cliff.
Every ground cannot be slippery.

If you have been searching for your gut feeling and haven’t had the answer or conviction, this is a sign to take that step…
Take that jump and check later.
Leap before you look, or you may never take that step.

It’s not everyday we get to take such decisions but today we will be taking CALCULATED RISKS.
We won’t be wasting time on the game of “tumbo-tumbo-baskelebe”.

What you put your mind to do must turn out as you wish.
What you put your effort to do must work out.
Life is more about how we see things and how we will them to be. We can actually get what we want majority of the times. We just have to want it enough to see it clearly everyday.
We just need to have Faith in ourselves and what we want.

If you have been waiting to act, this is the sign that you need to stop waiting and JUST DO IT.

Today we are making a strong decision.
We are putting a foot down on that decision and doing everything to see that decision through.

Today we are taking the chances we have been waiting to take.
We are making big plans.
We are making big decisions.
We are making big things happen around us.

The world is our oyster. It will be exactly what we want it to be. 

BIBLE VERSE: 2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, today we declare that every step we take and every effort we make will lead to success. Today is a day for us to Shine ✨ 
Amen 🙏🏽 

Do have a Blessed Monday and a Successful Week ahead.
