As humans, it's quite normal to be ambitious. We wake up every day with a drive to achieve our set goals and it's in our nature to be competitive. What happens when things do not go as planned?
We feel rejected and frustrated and this comes from a place of lack of contentment. We tend to go overboard most times when we forget to acknowledge our achievements and be happy with them.
For some of us, striking the balance between being ambitious and content is a huge problem and the way to overcome this problem is staying aligned with God's plan for us.
In this episode, I will be sharing practical steps to balancing ambition and contentment while staying focused on God's plan.
● Seek God's guidance
When we spend time with God's words and in deep meditation, He will always help us to make plans that are following His will.
● Define your values and purpose
What is your purpose? What have you been called to fulfill on earth?
When you find answers to these questions, your ambition will automatically be geared toward the direction of God's plan for you. It is also advisable to write out your core values, they will constantly remind you of God's place in your life when you make plans.
● Practice gratitude
Appreciating God for the things he has blessed us with opens the doors to receiving more. When we are focused on the blessings of others, we miss the entire point because we can only trust God's process and plans for us if we acknowledge and are grateful for the things he has done for us.
● Embrace patience and trust
It is important that we are patient and we wait for God because He is always working in our favor.
