Purposed To Impact: Discover And Activate Your Higher CallingSmakprov

# Do Start Now We've all been there. We decide to start a new diet or workout routine, or finally break that bad habit. And we tell ourselves we'll start on Monday. But what happens when Monday comes? The best thing to do is start right when we're motivated and buzzing with ideas. We can't put off getting started until everything is perfect and we have everything we think we need. Guess what? That day will never come. There will always be just one more thing that needs to happen. Life is notorious for letting little things pop up to derail our best-laid plans. We must not defer our dreams. Tomorrow isn’t promised! Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.” (NLT) Starting today gets us one step closer to seeing our God-Driven Vision fulfilled! ## Consider this: What small actions can you take now to begin bringing your vision to fulfillment? Remember, it's the little things that build incremental momentum. ## Take action: Make a Daily Diligence Checklist. Each day, spend some time doing the following 5 things to further your God-Driven Vision. 1. Reflect on what's brewing in your heart and how you've already seen God work in related ways. 2. Research to gain deeper knowledge of specific areas in your vision and mission field. 3. Reach out to at least one person who can help you take the next step forward. 4. Revise your action and prayer plans as you gain insight and circumstances evolve. 5. Realize how God is connecting the dots and thank Him for it!
