I Refuse to Die a Fraction of Myself

Have you ever been the best version of yourself?

I feel a little sad as I answer that question. While I know that I have made tremendous progress, I know that this is not the best version of me. Deep inside, I feel I have so much more to do and become, and that possibility excites me.

If I take my life and think about it, what would my best version be like? How would I treat myself, others, and God? Would I see limitations or just possibilities? What would it feel like to show up and live from my absolute best self every day?

I don’t know, but I’m ready to find out. I want to pursue this and demand more from myself.

I want to live as the best version of myself every day and give my life everything I have to offer. When we do this, we inspire others to do the same. How can we tell our kids to do their best if we don’t do it ourselves?

So, I’m calling myself out. I will no longer be satisfied with this version of me. I know that God wants to use me in an even greater way. I’ve been sabotaging myself, and I refuse to do it any longer. I will not die as a fraction of what I could have been. I will not leave any words unwritten or people unhelped.

While I know I can only do what God wants me to, if I follow Him and do what He puts on my heart, it will satisfy me and be exactly enough. That’s the part I am most scared of. I don’t want to waste my gifts and fail my Lord.

My best version is becoming the person God created me to be.

Today, I’m thankful that God gave me clarity and helped me see a little deeper into this work and what we are going to do. I can’t think of anything better than living according to His will.
