Don’t Overthink Yourself Out of Your Purpose

Have you ever had a moment where you felt inspired to take a step, start something new, or follow a dream—but then you talked yourself out of it?
Maybe you said:
“Now’s not the right time.”
“When I get more money.”
“When the kids grow up.”
“I’ve just got too much going on right now.”
Sound familiar?
We do this so often—delay, defer, and doubt. But what if you just did it anyway? What if you stopped overthinking and took that first step toward your purpose?
Ask yourself:
What do I really have to lose if I fail?
What could I gain if I succeed?
What’s actually needed—and what’s just fear dressed as preparation?
And the biggest question of all: What if I actually succeed?
Sometimes, your purpose is directly tied to your testimony. To your dreams. To the very thing you keep pushing aside. It’s not always going to feel perfect or easy. But you’ll never know what’s on the other side of faith if you keep letting excuses lead the way.
Don’t be the reason you miss out on living fully in your purpose.
And if you don’t take anything else from this message—remember this:This is your journey. Everyone can’t come with you. Especially not the naysayers or the ones who try to push their fear onto you.
Walk boldly. Walk freely. And walk on purpose.
