At some point in our lives many of us develop a desire to go deeper, higher, further (or whatever word you want to use that means you move on from where you are right now). However, there are some really simple things that often stop us making that onward transition.
Here are a few things that stop us from my own experiences along the way plus some others: -
- You ABSOLUTELY love the way things are
- OBSESSED with people who praise & criticise you
- No DESIRE for WISDOM (see Proverbs 4:5-7)
- Not willing to make UNCOMFORTABLE decisions
- Love to be a people PLEASER
- Won’t accept RESPONSIBILITY for where you are right now (always looking for someone to blame)
- USING people is elevated over VALUING people
- UNWILLING to embrace change
- Unrealistic EXPECTATIONS of people
- No ACCOUNTABILITY
- Take things too PERSONALLY
- Not SEEKING God for MORE
How can you make room in your life to move deeper, higher or even further in your life? Can these things be applied to other situations rather than your spiritual journey i.e. marriage, friendships, work etc…
