There’s no step by step play book written for your first step, your hundredth step or your billionth step in life. Everything you do, everywhere you go, the choices you make and the pathways you take are written as you make your imprint on the earth and the people around you; your actions and your words are what create your timeline and your layout. You are in control of what you put your hands to, what you give your ‘yes’ to and of course - where you apply your no. It’s daunting, it brings a sense of unease to the pits of your stomach and a small tremble to your voice. The very moment that you realise that you’ve spent your life feeling powerless is immediately stripping and erasing your confidence to act — but the very moment you realise you are positioned perfectly to regain that control, structure and purpose, THAT is ground breaking… If you’ve spent your life wandering, questioning, lacking direction or diverted from where you’ve felt called to go — realising you are capable of altering your course is both breath taking and taxing at the same time. Maybe you’re feeling ill-prepared and unequipped? Maybe you’re unsure as to how you’re supposed to face the decisions, the bills, the judgement, the changes, or maybe the sheer thought of altering your day to day routine is alarming? Perhaps you’ve forgotten the avenues of support that are readily available to you.. The phrase ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ means more than just ‘read what’s inside’ — because whilst what’s written on the pages is important and very relevant, the editor, publisher and of course (often unmentioned on the cover) the co author; play a VERY big role in how the story plays out.. An author alone is not capable of completing a book, nor is a publisher or co-author. But together, the likelihood of creating a finalised and perfected masterpiece is high. If you’re struggling with regaining confidence, control and direction; if you’re unsure of what is next for you — perhaps you’ve forgotten to confer with your co-author, The Holy Spirit.. Your publisher, God.. and your editor, Jesus. If you’re seeking to write and write well — the secret to success is the team you surround yourself with.
