Turn Around

Today I listened to a call for work, and the topic was “The Turn Around.” Which basically references that stage in life when you are going through a lull and need to get back on track.

It was a very timely call. I have been feeling kind of stuck lately, and I really needed to hear what was said. It was especially great because I will be able to apply what I learned to my non-work life as well as work.

Have you ever hit a point where you felt stuck? When you feel like the things you are doing aren’t getting you anywhere, or you aren’t even really sure which direction to go in?

It’s a tough place to be. No one likes to feel like they don’t know what to do, and it can be incredibly frustrating.

Our speaker listed out several points to help work through those times.

-          It’s Normal to hit these points

-          Accept where you are, don’t be stuck on where you used to be

-          Trust the activity of moving forward, not your feelings

-          Use a system of growth, don’t rely on instincts

The one that hit home for me the most was trusting the activity and not feelings. For me it’s incredibly easy to get stuck on how I feel and not even want to put in the activity.

While all the tips are great, I know that I need to rely on God to guide my life. I know that He will open doors for me and give me the direction I need.
