Searching For Answers??? How to allow answers to find you and unleash your full potential
Or you know there's a ton of potential inside you but it seems to be repressed and doesn't surface like you want it to?
Today we're going to talk about:
How you can lay back in surrender and release the potential that's been in front of you the entire time.
I am reminded of this story from my childhood ...
I had an awesome Jango Fett toy that would shoot discs.
One day, I was playing with it outside and when I went to pick up the discs after I had shot them, I realized one was missing.
I kept trying to find it, but no matter how hard I searched for it, I couldn't see it.
And eventually, I gave up searching altogether.
And when I gave up searching ...
I found it!!!
And it had been right in front of me the entire time.
In Life
We see this situation play out all the time in our daily lives.
Perhaps we are looking for our keys and can't find them. Eventually, we realize that they were right there in front of us all along.
Or maybe we are searching hard for our glasses. Eventually, we realize that they were on our head all along.
In Sports
We see this situation play out all the time in our sports.
We can search hard for that ingredient that will unleash our full potential.
We may perform well in practice knocking down shots or making solid contact with the ball.
But in games ...
We don't perform well under pressure.
We choke under pressure.
We may miss our shots or strike out.
And we keep looking for a way to be confident and play at our highest potential.
But it's not until we stop searching for this missing ingredient and relax into the flow of the game that we finally unleash our full potential and realize it's been inside us all along, waiting for us to get out of our own way.
In Faith
Many times, we ask GOD to show signs of His Presence.
We ask, seek, and knock, but we don't seem to receive, find, and doors don't seem to open.
Until we finally surrender.
And when we do fall back in surrender, we realize GOD's Presence and answers have been there in front of us the entire time, waiting for us to get out of our own way.
And on top of that ...
Sometimes the answers have been so close to us, closer than we'd ever dare to look ...
Because GOD's answers may even be inside us.
A Reflection for You
What situations in your life are you perhaps so caught up in and can't seem to find answers?
See if you can release your grip and lay back in surrender, and see if this, paradoxically, enables the answers that were right in front of you the entire time to reveal themselves to you.
Athletes and coaches for Christ, I wish you well on your journey of allowing yourself the freedom to surrender so the answers that have been there all along may present themselves to you, and I send love, gratitude, peace, and blessings to you!
May GOD inspire YOU every step of your way,
Kyle
