Choosing Faith Over Uncertainty

It’s not unusual for people to find themselves afraid to set goals due to a fear of uncertainty, not knowing that God has a destined plan already planned out for them. The moment we are born, God already made a unique path for each one of us to follow. This path was made in reflection of His love for His creation and fulfillment of His purpose. Fearing uncertainty should not stop people from crafting their goals as the outcome of how you get to your goal was already predetermined by God. Taking a step back and praying for God’s guidance will aid in overcoming the fear of uncertainty.

Signs that You’re Chasing the Wrong Goal

1. You are unhappy in the process of doing your day-to-day tasks in the hopes of achieving your goal
2. You are following goals seeded by external influences
3. You are following goals out of fear

Having the Right Goals

The idea of identifying if you have the right goal stems from God’s blueprint crafted before each of us are born. Given that all of us are unique, the journey to achieve goals is different for each individual. It’s important to know that having a goal will help you navigate a path without going in circles and feeling lost.

There are many ways for us to set and reach our goals. Dr. Bush has some tried and true methods for you in this episode.
