SLP356 - The Danger of Retreating Into The Familiar

As you continue along on your journey to fulfill your purpose and live out who you were created to be, you’ll be faced with an imminent temptation: the temptation to draw back and retreat into what you’ve always known.

Is that a bad thing? Let’s talk about it.

Feature Presentation: 

When we can’t see where we’re headed or what our next step is – or even if we give way to uncertainty about what’s around the bend – our human nature is to shirk back.

Faith is sometimes a tall order.

As we learn more about who we are, challenge and replace our limiting beliefs, we’re also shifting our methodologies and understanding on certain things we maybe have never seen any other way.

Stepping into more truth and understanding requires us to be accountable to what we know.

Herein lies the danger…

When you know what is true and yet you shirk back from it, you’ve created a deep internal conflict.

This internal conflict has innumerable ramifications: loss of sleep, restless sleep, decline in physical and emotional health, relationships, etc.

Don’t retreat.

Let your “yes” be “yes”!

If you’re in conflict now, no doubt you’re aware of it. For whatever reason, you’ve retreated into familiar. You’re better than that!

Take the steps forward, press in, and don’t settle. Progress over retreat.
