Let God Curate Your Future

Too often we live in what I “could” have done” or “should have done.” We have expectations of ourselves and even people that God didn’t orchestrate.

Everyone or every circumstance cannot always be to blame for where we are in life. Life will “life” regardless.

Only when we are examining ourselves daily do we see we are in more control of our situations than what we think. While we cannot control others’ actions, we can have spiritual discernment to make the right steps. These steps include, but are not limited, to the following:

1. Weening some bad habits, even the smallest ones.

2. Starting better habits that involve daily self-reflection, slowing down, and inserting time to pour into yourself, no matter how busy your schedule gets.

3. Spend more time with God and others who love him. Form relationships with people who are striving for a higher standard of living when it comes to spiritual growth, not material things.

4. Some relationships need more boundaries. Perhaps, people don’t have to be cut off completely, but definitely some topics and activities are off limits. Know what they are.

5. Have a mentor that can guide you in the right direction when it comes to spiritual growth.

6. Have a trusted mentor for your professional growth.

7. Gain hobbies that enlighten you and keep your mind sharp, keeping you cognitively engaged. Don’t remain stagnate.

Tomorrow is gone. You can live in the past or create a bright future by letting God curate the journey.

... Read moreThroughout my journey of faith and intentional living, I've found that truly surrendering the control of my future to God brings an unexpected peace and clarity that self-reliance alone never provided. This doesn't mean passively waiting for things to happen but actively engaging in spiritual practices that align our actions with divine guidance. One powerful tool I've adopted is daily journaling, inspired by resources like the "JOURNAL /Evergreen Note" concept from valeecedavis.com. Writing down fresh thoughts and stories every day helps me reflect deeply on my spiritual walk and personal growth. This habit encourages self-awareness and keeps me focused on the positive trajectory I've committed to. Setting clear boundaries in relationships has been another essential step. I've learned that not all conversations or activities serve my spiritual well-being, so I consciously protect my peace by discerning what to engage with and what to limit. This mindful boundary-setting fosters healthier connections and supports my growth without unnecessary distractions. Mentorship plays a crucial role, too. Having mentors for both spiritual guidance and professional development creates a balanced approach to life that enriches my mindset and skills. These mentors often challenge me to step out of my comfort zone while remaining grounded in faith. Lastly, embracing hobbies that keep my mind active and engaged prevents stagnation and nurtures creativity. Whether it's reading, exploring nature, or engaging in community activities, these moments refresh my spirit and inspire me to live intentionally each day. By combining these practices—faith, reflection, boundaries, mentorship, and stimulating hobbies—I’ve experienced a transformative path where God genuinely curates my future. I encourage anyone seeking a brighter, purpose-driven journey to explore these steps and let divine guidance chart the course ahead.
