Be bold and confident, with an attitude of expectancy!
Because we believe in, and rely upon, the Greatest Power in the Universe, we are able to walk boldly with confidence, positivity, and expectancy. We no longer need to fear or worry, because we have a direct connection to the One who knows the end from the beginning and genuinely wants us to live our best lives, while inspiring others and demonstrating the power of faith. However, having faith and confidence is a requirement, not an option, if we are to receive all that God has in store for us (according to His will).
Lack of confidence, indecision, and worry only bring about frustration that is counter-productive and, at its worst, can be debilitating. The negativity and hopelessness associated with a constant state of frustration is even more detrimental to our success, as it interferes with our ability to focus or think creatively, and therefore impedes our progress. This is one of the reasons it is imperative to remain positive and decide to live boldly, intentionally, and with a genuine sense of expectancy - expectancy that is based upon the faith and knowledge of the fulfillment of God’s promises for us.
Throughout God’s Word, He promises us love, peace, blessings, happiness, abundance, and more; but we must ask for it, believe it will be given, and then wait. I know, that is the hard part; but take comfort in knowing that He knows better than us. God knows the exact moment that we are ready to receive the desires of our heart. He knows when we are ready for the responsibility that goes along with those desires.
Like a loving parent, He will not give us that for which we are not ready. He may even allow us to struggle in pursuit of the happiness, love, or success, to encourage our acknowledgement and recognition of the need to exercise full dependence upon Him. That way, we do not run the risk of taking the credit for our success, knowing that without God, it would not have been possible. Our responsibility is to keep the faith, do the footwork and remain open to walking in the will of Our Father.
Remember, there is a blessing in the struggle, and a safety net in sticking close to The Father. God will see you through and, in His time, allow you to understand the blessing in the struggle – the struggle that allows you to courageously live boldly and achieve your wildest dreams! You ain’t seen nothin’ yet – your best is yet to come!

“The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you choose to persevere.”
