Breaking the boundaries of 'Just Living'

I have always been comfortable with just being where I am at in my life, more like a feeling of being content. But there is a very fine line between being content and being in a place of stagnation, and I know that feeling of mixing contentment with stagnation all too well. 

In the beginning of this year, as some of you know, I left for Johannesburg impulsively, and boy did that break something in me! It did me so much good, because here this coloured boy from Cape Town who only knew the borders of this city was en route on a bus to Johannesburg, another city, another province! Fear and stagnation was broken in me. Coming back on my first flight at the age of 21 I thought, "I could get used to this life of travelling!". Now some of you reading might have had this at a very young age or so, but in my world the money never went around for the flights to and fro, more for the loaf of bread and the food on the table. Coming back I worked for money hungry insurance brokers who were driven for more money and more knowledge. I lasted there for two days because I am not someone to convince another to buy silly insurance, but I walked away so encouraged! Firstly the fear and comfortability was broken in me, then I see a focused type of people who are fighting to have a bigger balance on their bank accounts. This was a major wake up call for me. 

Nothing is impossible! All is in reach and seriously if we fight for what we want, we will get to that place and higher! Now in me were dreams dying because I was so busy in church, so busy focussing on today and on the things that kept me bound. In me is someone ready to live out destiny and become an unstoppable force to be reckoned with! 

So many great people have gone forth because they fought for what was on the inside of them, and here we are, we have decided to be just like our parents caught in the same traps of debt, financial bondage and never ending cycles! 

After going through all this I cannot help but get frustrated with people who just are because that's all they know, yet there is a whole world out there to be ventured! So I decided to fight for what is on the inside of me to come out. With this comes more frustration because I want it now, but this frustration drives me to break these boundaries and limitations set before me. 

What are we going to leave behind when we die? Or are we going to the grave with all this destiny and treasure? Definitely not me. I have decided to pay off all the silly debt on my name, not making decisions that I will regret later financially and finding ways to generate income so that I can go forward in the steps toward my destiny. 

You might be reading this and maybe you find yourself in a different city or nation, or you find yourself there for all your life, you might be a parent or grandparent already, my encouragement to you is, live out what is place on the inside of you! You are more than capable to live out what is on the inside of you. As long as you have breath, that is as long as you have to living out purpose and greatness. What stops you from becoming what you desire to be? Kill it!
