I need something to really challenge me. Something that is mentally stimulating. I’m not sure what that would be at this point, but I know I need a good challenge to stretch the mind. Don’t think I’m saying that moving to a new country is not challenging, or that even getting married and moving house away from family isn’t challenging either. They both are. I’m just feeling the need for a good challenge. That’s what I want to achieve next year—accomplishing the challenges set before me. It’s not a very specific goal, but sometimes vague, big-picture goals are good.
I usually feel free when I’ve achieved something. Up until the point of achievement, it’s like a burden is hanging over me waiting to be let go.
How can I experience this feeling today? Here are 10 thoughts (a.k.a. things people have said to encourage me):
I can do (most) anything I make up my mind to do.
I’m talented.
I’m clever enough to figure most things out eventually.
I’m a talented artist of some form.
I’m reliable.
I’m loyal.
I’m strong.
I’m brave.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
God is good.
