Release the Brakes

I spent some time this past Saturday in a very productive and convicting conversation with a close friend and brother. He is the type of person who shoots for the stars in all that he does without hesitation and actually expects to reach them. He is currently going through an upward swing in his career and has been a great source of encouragement and motivation in my life. It goes back to one of the points I’ve stated in the past…”If you’re the most successful person in your circle, then it’s time to find more people to bring into your circle or better yet…get a new circle.”

One of the questions he posed to me that caught me off guard was a simple one “What are you waiting for?” On the surface this may seem like a very basic question, but to me it penetrated deep within my spirit because I received it as a God-inspired question communicated through a human vessel.

Upon regaining my composure I responded humbly “I don’t know!” It was at that moment I realized I have been doing great things, with great intentions, but continue to live life with my “brakes” engaged. “Brakes” serve as a tool of comfort that allows a person to slow down when they feel life is moving too quickly. There is something empowering about being able to control, monitor and guide life in a way that minimizes exposure to hurt, failure and/or rejection. The only problem is you stunt your potential growth, never position yourself to experience the greatness God wants you to have and cuts off the realm of faith we as believers are supposed to operate in. Too many people settle for mediocrity because they don’t want to “release the brakes” and expose themselves to potential failure.

After responding to my friend’s question I immediately recognized opportunities that would give me a chance to “release the brakes.” I’ve already stepped out and moved into new frontiers within the past couple of days. Will you join me? What are you waiting for? Aren’t you tired of mediocrity? Release the brakes!!!
