DAY 7: ROADMAPS & FOOTPRINTS

By now, you have a roadmap for casting a vision and developing a strategy for the mission of walking in the fullness of your calling and purpose. Often, we complicate this process and create unnecessary roadblocks within the journey. You have also realized that action is imperative to ensure that the vision and strategy are not empty dreams. Your actions are your footprints and are, ultimately, evidence that your plans were not in vain. In addition, actions lead to a legacy that relies on blazing a trail for others to follow. Your dreams and destiny are God-inspired and meant to have an eternal impact. They are designed to maximize your potential and leave a lasting imprint long after you're gone.

Our footprints are proof that we weren't simply bystanders with good intentions. Sometimes the adventure requires traveling a new path, which could create a fear of the unknown. Sometimes the adventure is the exhilarating excitement of anticipation where God shows up and blesses the mission beyond your expectations. Sometimes our fulfillment is more from the ride than arriving at the destination.

I want to congratulate you ahead of time for your commitment to prayer and seeking God's leading. I commend you ahead of time for your investment in the vision, strategy, and action required to achieve your level of greatness. My encouragement is to allow yourself permission to be impressed by your courage and resilience while giving God the glory for all you accomplish. Invite others to be part of the journey and share your small victories. Seek wise guidance from others who have traveled a similar path. Once your mission is complete, accept the responsibility to be that guide for someone else who follows you.
