SLOW AND RELUCTANT
Some time ago, I gave an assignment to one of my coaching clients to share daily for 30 days what she was learning.
She reluctantly agreed.
She started, and day 1, day 2, and day 3...
In the middle of it, a friend asked her, why she was doing it, she said, "my coach asked me to do it".
It's been almost more than 90 days now, she's still sharing what she's learning daily.
Her testimony has changed from "my coach asked me to do it" to "I was created to add value to lives so I must share".
Now, she is getting messages from people about how the things she's sharing is helping them and transforming their lives.
Listen, starting something that's worth it or adding value to lives may start with some reluctance.
In fact, the first time you do it, it would look like you're forced and compelled.
But as you get on with it, you will realise the value of adding value to others, and you won't be able to stop.
So, my charge to you is; What is that thing God has laid on your heart all these while but you've been slow and reluctant to start?
You've had all these questions in your mind such as "Who would pay attention?" "Why me?" "Can I really do it?" "Am I qualified?"
Just start! I know it takes courage, faith, and grace. Guess what? God has given you those in abundance - tap into them!
Always remember, you don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great.
And, if you have the courage to start, you have the courage to succeed.
I believe in you, and I hope this has helped you.

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
