Don’t build. Just be.
MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️:
“Don’t build...just BE.”
I remember when those words were whispered to me years ago.
We’d just wrapped up a women’s retreat I’d hosted, a round of E-School had just ended and it was the beginning of June.
I’d been doing nothing BUT building … again. I’m a builder. It’s kind of woven into who I am.
“Don’t build…just BE.”
So often, people tell us to operate in our strengths. I believe, however, that there are seasons we’re called to operate in our weaknesses. To lay down our strengths. To rely upon someONE else. To go contrary to what we’ve always done because sometimes, what we’ve always done is simply always being done out of default. We’ve just always operated that way. It doesn’t mean it’s the best way.
“Don’t build (do what you’ve always done)…just be (learn to operate in a new way to see ME in a new way).
It’s in the BE-ing…that the noise quiets down, the world fades away, the days linger longer and the moments are sweeter.
If you’re in a build season…build. If you’re in a be season…be. Just don’t do what you’ve always done because it’s how you’re wired.
Follow the rhythm.
