Over a year ago, I made a personal choice to stop settling for less than I deserved. I was working a job that required me to travel 45 minutes both ways. I loved my job and what I was doing, but one day I woke up and realized that I was settling just because I needed a job. I chose to start looking at postings for places that were closer to home. Now that I have changed jobs and getting acclimated to the environment and people, I realized that my past has prepared me for this level. As long as you know that you have been prepared for the new level, just walk in it. Do not let someone make you second guess why you are there. God knows that you are ready for it and HE sure will not give you more than you can handle. Just continue to PRAISE HIM for your new level.
For me, it started with a choice that what I was doing was not enough. There had to be more to life than working the job I had at the time. I went and enrolled in a certificate program to enhance my clerical skills. It was fun because I am very competitive and the other young ladies didn't like that I could type much faster. It was all a matter of taking most of my typing tests on the typewriter instead of the computer. I used this as an opportunity to excel so that I would be ready for the "real world." This was a good move because the right doors seemed to open for me when I needed them to. Now I know that it was God pushing me to another level. With each new opportunity, there were new things that I learned and preparing me for where I am today.
If you are unhappy with where you are in life, get uncomfortable by taking a risk that God wants you to take. He doesn't want us to be some where that we are unhappy. Step out of the box and take a chance to prepare you for another level. It all starts with you saying I deserve better and I know God wants me to have better. Just know that when you decide that enough is enough and you are ready for a change, take the time to research what you really want to do. Find out what drives you and what motivates you and just go for it. It will not be easy, but with preparation, you will get through this. A strong support system is a big help. When you don't think that you are going to make it, having the right people in your life to encourage you and pray for you will help you make it through this step. From my own personal experience, I can tell you it will be all worth it.
