What If? | Showers’ Blessing Inspires | Jacqui Showers

A close friend of mine’s mother was a beautiful artist. She had such a great eye for detail and her paintings were awe-inspiring. As much as I was inspired by the paintings I was even more inspired by the woman. She didn’t begin to paint until she was close to 50-years old. Wow! She never even had a lesson. One day she decided she would paint and she did creating hundreds of works of art. This marked the second half of her life. She lived well-passed 90.

What if she had never picked up that paint brush and started on the journey to become a creative artist? What if she only dreamed of doing the thing that was burning in her heart, but she never did it? What if she allowed age to prevent her from painting because she thought she was too old?

Many of us live in the realm of the “what ifs”. The “what ifs” in our lives either work for us or against us. Regardless the choice is ours. No matter what you embark on in life there will always be a host of what ifs in your pathway. You must make the decision to burst through the “what ifs” and live your dreams. If not, at the end of your life you will always wonder what you missed out on.

Each one of you reading this has so many desires and dreams yet to be fulfilled. Some of you will do them. That is great! There are some who will allow their dreams to be securely placed on the shelf of “what if”.

What if they say my work is horrible? What if I don’t have enough money? What if they think that I am too old…young…stupid…ugly, or whatever? What if I get sick? What if they don’t work with me? What if they laugh at me? What if I fail? What if I am successful?

At some point you emerge beyond this point of limitation and you do as my friend’s mother did; you do whatever you want to do regardless of the “what ifs” in your life. Nothing should play a factor in preventing you from embracing life in its fullness. That most definitely means using every God-given talent and gift that has been given to you.

God creatively placed inside of you everything you need to succeed. The beauty of it all is that He did it and knew at the precise time those talents and gifts would be released for you to use them. Use them, you must! One thing is for sure, you will never experience all God envisioned for you if you don’t conquer the “what ifs” and just do it!

What are the what ifs in preventing you from moving forward? Are you ready to overcome them? Have you contacted The ME Place Mentor Empowerment Institute? If not, take a moment to find out about The ME Place.

Father, Regardless of the loftiness of the concept, I am well able to achieve it through You who loves me.

PRAYER FOR SUCCESS Oct 24

Father, Thank You for flinging open big doors of opportunities—contracts, promotions, strategic alliances, influence, favor, witty ideas, innovative strategies and even more than that. Yes, I am walking boldly through door after door after door with confidence and courage. Thank You for these open doors that no one can shut. Amen. #showersblessing #prayersforsuccess

6 Hacks for Planning Proficiency | Branding and Marketing On Less Than a Shoestring Budget | Jacqui Showers

One of the biggest obstacles to you succeeding is lack of planning. You have to plan. There is no getting around it. I guess there is a way of getting around it, but that constitutes failure. Unless you are a glutton for punishment, why would you want to fail? You don’t! Nobody wants to fail. Each of us have been wired to succeed. Along the way the wires may become disconnected, but with careful planning you can get reconnected and still succeed. These six principles can help you along the way.

1. Learn your ABC’S of planning. If you never plan you will be stuck at point A and never make it to Z. Heck! You’ll never get to B for that matter. Dreams only become reality when you wake up and write it down. Wake up. Begin writing. Now execute it. It begins with planning every step one letter at a time.
2. Get unstuck. You have been at the same place for a while. It is called lack of focus. Bring everything into focus with planning. If you don’t plan it is a micro dot on the horizon that remains afar off. You can’t seem to move towards it, because you have no road map to get you there. Plan it out. Watch how fast you reach your destination. Zoom! You’re already at that infamous place called there. All because you took time to plan.
3. It’s all in my head. As long as it is in your head, it’s going to stay there like a dead head. The vision is given, but then you got to write the vision. How do you expect to move forward with the vision and you have not written it down. You don’t! In your head only, it can’t get into others heads. Get it out your head, so it can get its wings and take flight.
4. I don’t have time to plan. That’s one of the biggest lies I’ve ever heard. If you don’t have time to plan, then you don’t have time to be successful. Fail to plan and you are definitely planning to fail. Respect planning and you demonstrate that you respect success. The only way you’re going to maximize your journey to success you have to plan it out each and every day. Without it, you will never experience your full potential and success will elude you.
5. Where do I start? I am confused. Be confused no more. It begins with planning. It ends with planning. Everything else is execution. You can’t execute effectively if you don’t plan. Write the plan. Make it plain. Now run passionately with it. Others will follow as long as you have a plan. There’s no reason to run in circles because you failed to plan. Fail to plan. You fail to execute. Heck! You just fail.
6. Start somewhere. If five years seems too much just plan for one year. If one year is overwhelming, just plan for six months. If that causes you stress, then do it for a month. Can’t seem to do that, just plan out a week. If that throws you off, plan a day. Just plan an hour and go from there. If you never embrace planning, you’ll never succeed. You got to start somewhere. It might as well be now.

What prevents you from planning? Are you working your plan every day? Have you shared it with others to help you move the plan forward? Love to hear…leave your comments below.
