28 Feb Mess Up

Well it has been just under 10 days that we've moved into the new office space. And since this was a major move for me, I prayed Lord just don't let me mess up. I prayed this prayer everyday. And it was not because I thought that I was going to do something so egregious that I was going to bankrupt the business. I just wanted everything to be perfect.

What I soon realized is that this thinking is what held me back for so long. I was easily falling back into the same habits that have kept me from achieving my greatest levels because I was not messing up, I was being mediocre.

Let me go further. To not mess up means to just do enough to stay where you are. Whenever I've been in any kind of renovation, any kind of remodeling, it meant that I had to make a mess in order to make it better. I've never taken over any company where I did not have to dismantle something in order to build it better. There's never been a construction site that has not been messy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't be organized. I'm saying that sometimes you have to create a mess in order for things to be better.

So my new prayer has been, Lord help me to mess up. Help me to mess up the status quo, help me to mess up standard thinking, help me to mess up just being ordinary. My friends, I wonder if there's something in your life or in your business you just need to mess up.

Leave me a thought below I look forward to hearing from you.
