You Are Chosen by God—Created With Purpose, Called With Intention

Being chosen by God is one of the most powerful truths you can ever accept about yourself. God didn’t create you randomly or accidentally; He created you intentionally and assigned purpose to your life before you ever took your first breath. You were chosen for specific work, specific impact, and a specific journey. But even though this truth is written all throughout Scripture, many people struggle to believe they were chosen by God because their life story doesn’t look “perfect,” or because they feel ordinary, flawed, or not special enough.

A big reason people doubt that they were chosen by God is because life experiences convince them otherwise. Some grew up hearing hurtful words. Others struggled through rejection, shame, or failure. Some compare themselves to others and think their gifts don’t measure up. And many believe the limiting thought: “I don’t matter that much to God.” This mindset creates distance between who they think they are and who God says they actually are.

When someone doesn’t believe they are chosen by God, certain behaviors start showing up without them even realizing it. First, they shrink back and play small, saying “no” to opportunities God opened because they feel unqualified. Second, they overwork or overgive, hoping to earn value God already gave them. Third, they seek constant approval, trying to be who others want instead of who God created. These behaviors drain confidence, joy, and purpose, and they block people from stepping into the very calling God designed for them.

You can begin shifting this today. One powerful step is to speak God’s truth over yourself daily. Replace negative thoughts with God’s promises. Ephesians 1:4 tells us, “For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world…” Yes — before the world began, God already knew you. He already called you. He already chose you. And just as important, God doesn’t expect you to walk this journey alone. He places the right people around you at the right time to support you, guide you, and help you grow into the person He designed you to be.

Applying today’s lesson is a strong first step toward believing you are truly chosen by God. But real transformation happens when you decide to invest in the change you want to see. Every month, people spend the same amount on things that bring quick comfort but no lasting growth—gym memberships they barely use, takeout meals that only help in the moment, and streaming subscriptions that keep them distracted but not fulfilled. None of these things will give you the confidence, peace, or purpose you’ve been praying for.

Or… you can invest in a program that transforms you from the inside out.
Schedule your consultation call at www.lifeisbutajourney.com to work with me inside the Confidence Mindset Program, where real and lasting growth begins. I help people feel sure of themselves and live on purpose by teaching them how to change the way they think and partner with God to build the life they truly want. When you invest in your mindset, identity, and spiritual alignment, you don’t just change temporarily—you become the confident, chosen, and purpose-driven person God designed you to be. And this time, your transformation will last.

Start Living on Purpose: The Power of Being Intentional With God

Living a life of purpose doesn’t happen by accident. It takes being intentional. When you are intentional, you’re deciding to work with God, not just waiting for life to change. It means making decisions on purpose that reflect who you are, what you believe, and who you are becoming. God shows us this from the very beginning of creation. In Genesis 1, He spoke things into being, day by day, with care and purpose. He didn’t rush or guess. He created everything with clear intention. And as His children, we are invited to do the same with our lives.

One belief that keeps people stuck is the thought, “I don’t know where to start, so I won’t start at all.” I’ve felt that before, and I know how heavy it feels. That belief leads many to live on autopilot, going through the motions, instead of deciding to co-create life with God. But being intentional doesn’t mean you need a perfect plan. It just means you are deciding to show up on purpose, with faith that each step matters. Even one small step of intention can lead to great transformation when you include God in it.

If you’re wondering how to start being intentional, try this: Set one clear intention each morning before the day begins. For example, you might say, “Today, I choose to speak life,” or “Today, I will focus on peace, no matter what happens.” This daily decision trains your mind and heart to live with purpose. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” When you are intentional about your thoughts, your time, and your actions, you open the door for God to lead you in powerful ways.

God didn’t design us to walk this life alone. He places people in our path to support, encourage, and walk with us, especially when we’re stepping into something new. Being intentional also means letting the right people pour into you and help you grow. You don’t have to do it all on your own. And you’re not meant to. If you feel like life is just happening to you, now is the time to take back your power by being intentional and deciding to walk with purpose.

When life feels out of control and nothing seems to align with who you are or where you want to go, it’s time to take your power back. The Confidence Mindset Program is designed to help you stop surviving and start intentionally building the life God created you to live. Through faith-based coaching, you’ll break free from limiting beliefs, gain clarity, and finally feel grounded in who you are. This is your moment to stop drifting and start co-creating your future with purpose. Schedule your consultation call today—because you’re ready to lead your life, not just react to it.

Stop Trying to Be a Clone—God Didn’t Use a Copy-Paste Button!

Being the right way to be means living as the person God created you to be, not as someone you think you should be. When you try to be someone else, you miss out on the amazing qualities that make you unique. Embracing your true self and practicing acceptance of self lets your inner light shine.

Too often, I believed I had to fit into a specific mold so others would like me. I struggled with this limiting belief, thinking that changing who I was would help me be accepted. This idea stopped me from really living life because it forced me to hide my true self instead of celebrating it. It’s a common thought that if you adjust your personality or hide parts of yourself, you’ll be accepted. But trying to fit into someone else’s idea of perfection only stops you from growing and being happy. Learning to love yourself exactly as you are makes life more fun and full of possibilities.

One thing you can start doing today is to jot down three things you love about yourself every morning. This practice helps you see the beauty in who you are and builds real confidence from within. If you’re ready to feel good in the skin you’re in and want more guidance, schedule a consultation call to work with me in the Confidence Mindset Program. Let’s unlock your true potential together!

4 Powerful Life Lessons from 2024

2024 was a year that taught me so much about life. I learned how important it is to take care of myself, stop comparing my life to others, and step out of my comfort zone. These lessons helped me grow, find peace, and move forward in a better way. Keep reading to see how they might help you too!




My Traveling Friends…

Moving into 2025, I’m sharing this reflection a little later than most. Why? Because sometimes, you need to pause, sit with your experiences, and let them guide you before you move forward. Taking time to self-reflect helped me uncover 4 powerful lessons from 2024 that changed how I approach life. These lessons reminded me that growth doesn’t happen when we rush—it happens when we take the time to truly look back, learn, and step forward with intention.



Here’s what 2024 taught me:

1. You can’t pour from an empty cup: Self-care isn’t just a nice idea; it’s non-negotiable. Taking time to recharge doesn’t make you selfish—it makes you stronger for yourself and everyone who depends on you.

2. Saying “no” is an act of self-love: Protecting your peace and energy isn’t mean; it’s necessary. Boundaries are healthy and essential.

3. Comparison is a trap: Your journey is unique. Wasting time looking at someone else’s path only distracts you from walking your own.

4. Growth happens outside your comfort zone: The scariest steps often lead to the most rewarding changes. Even small risks can open the door to big possibilities.

As I reflected on these lessons, one truth stood out: When you stop looking down in doubt and start looking up with hope, you can move forward and create the life you’ve always dreamed of. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being purposeful. Every decision, no matter how small, is a step toward the life you want to build.


So, as we move through 2025, I invite you to do the same. Take a moment to review your own lessons from last year. What did you learn about yourself? How can you use those insights to create a life you love—on purpose? Remember, every step forward matters.

Let’s grow together this year! If this post inspired you, subscribe to my website for more reflections and tips on creating your dream life. Share this with someone who needs a reminder that growth is always possible. And always know, I’m here to help you on your journey. Let’s make 2025 our most intentional year yet!

Embracing Change: Understanding Transitional Seasons In Life

Have you ever felt stuck between what used to be and what is coming next?

Life is like the weather, always changing. Sometimes, these changing are small, like a sunny day turning into a rainy afternoon. Other times, they are big, like summer changing into winter. These big changes are what we call transitional seasons. A transitional season is a time in life when something big is changing. It could be something exciting or something scary. They are times when our familiar routines are interrupted, and we are pushed out of our comfort zones. During these times, everything can feel different, and it might be hard to know what to do next. Transitional seasons challenge our current identity and often force us to redefine our goals, values, and priorities.

Forgiveness of Self: The Path to Healing and Growth

My Traveling Friends, forgiveness of self is one of the most powerful yet challenging journeys you will embark upon. It’s an act of courage, compassion, and deep inner work that will transform your lives. At least that is what I experience when I took the challenging journey of forgiving myself of the past hurt that I caused to myself. And it is for this reason that I want to explore why self-forgiveness is essential, what might hold us back, and how we can begin this transformative process.

I am curious, have you ever held onto guilt or regret for something you did in the past? How did it affect your daily life and your self-esteem? I ask these questions because I myself held onto guilt for something that Idiin the past and because of the guilt it was hard for memto hold my head up high, it was hard for me to see myself the way God sees me. And out of that guilt I did not make wise decision for my life. Forgiveness was to key to my freedom, and forgiveness is the key to your freedom too.

My Traveling Friend, have you ever faced a seemingly insurmountable obstacle and wondered how to conquer it? Maybe it was a career challenge, a personal struggle, or a goal that felt out of reach. Overcoming obstacles is a crucial skill that can and will transform yur life and lead you to success. But how exactly can you, my traveling friend, navigate these hurdles effectively?

Think about a time when you faced a major obstacle. What was your initial reaction, and how did you eventually overcome it?

What stategies did you use to overcome the obstacle, and what did you learn from that experience?

When someone tackles obstacles in a healthy manner, they often exhibit resilience, creativity, and perseverance. They don’t let setbacks define them but rather use them as steppingstones toward growth and achievement. Healthy overcoming of obstacles involves self-reflection, learning from mistakes, and maintaining a positive mindset throughtout the process.

Overcoming obstacles in a healthy manner offers a multitude of benefits that can significantly impact an individual’s life. First and foremost, it fosters personal rowth by challenging individuals to develop new skills, deepen self-awareness, and enance problem-solving abilities. This growth isn’t just about overcoming specific obstacles but also about evolving into a more resilient and adaptable person overall. Additionally, successfully navigating obstacles brings a profound sense of achievement, boosting confidence and motivation to tackle even greater challenges. It cultivates resilience, teaching individuals how to bounce back from setbacks stronger and more capable than before. Moreover, each obstacle conquered opens up new opportunities, expands networks, and broadens perspectives, ultimately leading to more fulfilling and meaningful life journey.

When it comes to overcoming obstacles, there are three commom mistakes that individuals often make. The first is ignoring the problem altogether, either out of fear, avoidance, or denial. By failing to acknowledge and adressing the obstacle, individuals hinder their progress and may find themselves stuck in a cycle of frustration. The second mistake is a lack of planning or strategy. Jumping into overcoming obstacles without a clear plan can lead to wasted effort, ineffective solutions, and unnecessary setbacks. Finally, negative self-talk and limiting beliefs can be significant barriers. Allowing negative thoughts to dominate can undermine confidence, motivation, and resilience, making it harder to overcome obstacles in a healthy and effective manner.

Imagine facing a daunting obstacle, feeling unsure of how to proceed. I’ve been there, and I understand the challenges firsthand. But with the right approach, you can turn challenges into steppingstones toward success. That’s why I want to share with you a 4 step startegy that has been a game-changer for me and my clients. It’s about breaking down barriers, crafting a plan that works for you, staying adaptable, and reaching out for support when needed. Here is the 4 step strategy to overcome obstacles:

  1. Define the Obstacle: Clearly identify the obstacle that you are facing and understand its impact on your goals.
  2. Create a Plan: Develop a step-by-step plan outlining how you will tackle the obstacle, including potential roadblocks and solutions.
  3. Stay Flexible: Be open to adjusting your plan as needed and embracing alternative approaches if initial strategies don’t yield results.
  4. Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to seek advice, guidance, or support from mentors, coaches, or peers who can offer fresh perspectives and encouragement.

Breaking the Habit of Generalizing People and Experiences

My Traveling Friends, have you ever caught yourself making sweeping statements about a group of people or assuming that one experience defines an entire category? Well, this tendency, which is commonly known as generalizing, is a common cognitive shortcut that can lead to misunderstandings and unfair judgements. And I found myself doing this common cognitive shortcut with the men I have been meeting on my dating journey. I was called out on it, and I thought to myself, how many people are generalizing people and experiences in an effort to protect themselves from being hurt? So, let’s talk about.

In this post, I will explore what generalizing means, why people do it, and how to overcome this habit to foster better connections and understanding.

Generalizing refers to the act of applying a belief or characteristic of a specific person or situation to an entire group or category. It’s a cognitive process where the brain simplify complex information by categorizing and drawing conclusions based on limited evidence or experiences.

My Traveling Friends, imagine meeting a very rude person from a particular background and assuming that everyone from that background is also rude. Or what if you witnessed one negative event and begin to believe that all similar situations will have the same outcome. Generalizing often involves making broad, sweeping statements that ignore individual differences and nuances.

So, why do people generalize people and experience ? Well here are several reasons why people tend to generalize:

  1. Cognitive Efficiency: Our brains seek to conserve energy by forming quick judgements based on limited information.
  2. Previous Experiences: Past encounters or cultural influences can shape our beliefs about certain groups or situations.
  3. Confirmation Bias: We my seek out information that confirms our existing beliefs, leading to further generalizations.
  4. Emotional Responses: Strong emotions such as fear or anger can fuel generalizations as a way to simplify complex emotions.

Ultimately, people generalize people and situations in an effort to keep themselves safe from hurt and pain.

Eventhough, many of us generalize people and experiences as a defense mechanism, the fact is there is not real benefits to generalizing people and experiences. In actuality, when you generalize people and experiences you cause more harm to yourself and others. When we generalize people and experiences we really blur lines of truth and untruth, fact and fiction, reality and delusion.

However, there are some benefits to not generalizing people and experiences. When you avoid generalization it can lead to improved relationships. By focusing on individual characteristics rather than stereotypes, you can build more meaningful connections. Avoiding generalization can lead to increased empathy, as you will see people as unique individuals and develop empathy and understanding. It also leads to better decision-making, and it reduced bias.

In order to move past generalizing people and experiences, your belief/mindset must change. A crucial belief shift to stop generalizing is recognizing that each person and experience is unique. Instead of assuming, approach each encounter with an open mind and a willingness to learn.

My Traveling Friends here are fours key steps to overcoming generalization:

  1. Awareness: Start becoming aware of your own generalizations. Notice when you make assumptions about people or situations.
  2. Challenge Your Beliefs: Question the validity of your generalizations. Ask yourself – Are they based on facts or stereotypes?
  3. Seek Diverse Perspectives: Engage with people from different backgrounds and experiences to broaden your understanding.
  4. Practice Empathy: Put yourself in other’s shoes and strive to understand their individual stories and perspectives.

Generalizing people and experiences is a common cognitive shortcut that can hinder empathy, understanding, and meaningful connections. It is used as a defense mechanism for many people. However, by challenging your beliefs, seeking diverse perspectives, and practicing empathy, you can overcome generalizations and foster a more inclusive and compassionate mindset. Are you ready to take the first step towards a confident and open mindset? If you’re ready to break free from the habit of generalizing and develop a more confident and open mindset, I want to invite you to schedule a consultation call for the Confidence Mindset Program. It is a 1-on-1 coaching program that is designed to help individuals overcome limiting beliefs and embrace a more positive and inclusive worldview.
