Becoming Bolder Still

If you woke up this morning just 10% bolder, 10% braver, what would you do with it? 
Is there a conversation you would have? Something you have been waiting to do?
 If you are anything like me, you have a list a mile long. When I had this question posed to me, I sat down and made a list I was excited about. 
Then the follow up question dropped. What is stopping you? Why don't you believe you are capable? The original question had me excited, the follow up left me sleepless. Why don't I believe I am capable of bold and hard things? Here is where I landed: I have taken words; others words, whether true or not, and I have replaced them with what I believe about myself. Worse yet, I have replaced them with what I think God believes about me. It is the core of being a people pleaser. Like clay, constantly molding yourself into what others want you to be. All the while, silencing the Holy Spirit and who he is calling you to be. But his truth about you, what he really believes, it will save your soul. "So get rid of all that is wrong in your life, both inside and outside, and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received, for it is able to save our souls as it takes hold of our hearts." (James 1:21)

So what's on your list? I am choosing to trust God with that 10% of courage and step forward, knowing that the dreams on my heart, the dreams He has set there are within my reach.
