Turning 40: 10 Truths I’ve Discovered
My late 30's were a season of awakening, truth and a time to let go of fear and trust God more deeply.
Now, it's time to turn the page. 👋🏼
Here are 10 truths I've discovered up to this point:
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
1) Let go of your fear and put your trust in God.
2) Take risks.
*Especially* the risks that might cost you comfort, reputation, or relationships.
Those are usually the ones that change everything.
3) Make room for something creative everyday and don't make your kids your excuse for why you can't.
Make them your reason as to why you can and should.
4) Stop letting circumstances from the past try to dictate your future.
*YOU* are in the driver's seat.
5) Call your mother more often than you do right now.
6) Give back in your own way.
Pay it forward how only YOU can.
This won’t look the same for everyone.. and it shouldn’t.
Silly ol’ bear.
7) People will cheer for you, celebrate you, and stand beside you .. until the day they don’t.
Until the day they randomly vanish without saying a word.
You’ll inspire them.. til you suddenly don’t.
Stay grounded in your purpose.
Stay faithful to your mission.
8) Protect your peace at all costs. ✂️
Not everyone is meant to walk beside you on your life journey.
You don't owe everyone your presence and intimate details of your life just because you've crossed paths with them at some point in your life.
9) Take every possible precaution to guard your mind.
What you dwell on becomes the world you live in. 
10) Every tough season carries its own hidden blessings. Look for the good, even in the moments that test you most because every challenge has something valuable to teach you.
