How does Stepping out on FAITH Relate to my Business?

Aurelia Mitchell Durant's Podcast — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 03:05:05 +0000

HOW DOES STEPPING OUT ON FAITH RELATE TO MY BUSINESS? By Aurelia Mitchell Durant We have all heard or either used the term stepping out on faith but what does that term really mean to a woman in business. That answer will vary depending upon your entry point to business. There are some women who can say that their entrance into the business world was their destiny that; they were born to do this. There are others that say that their entrance was so that they can have a roof over their head or food on the table. And still others say that they just fell into business. What I can say is that my personal entrance was a means of survival. When I started my firm it was after several months of rejection from the process of trying to get a job in a large law firm. Sure, there were a myriad of things I could have said during my job search that could, would or should have landed me the job but at the root my intention was not in my job search. Hidden from my view, it was my insecurities that made me less effective in the job search. I felt I was better off creating my own destiny by becoming a woman in business. That way I did not have to run the risk of my insecurities being exposed. It was that thinking, flawed or otherwise that made hanging out my own shingle, out of necessity. I needed to survive, so I need to get creative. Now that brings me backed to the “step out on faith”; the phrase is interpreted to mean that you take a risk or you do something daring. What is interesting is that stepping out on faith actually means that you are removing all other options but the path you have chosen. By that definition, many of us never really fully and sho-nuffly step out on faith. Many of us have a plan B, a back-up plan, a fall back or that dreaded “ace in the hole”. So therefore, we make a step but it is not on faith it is actually on our lack of faith. You have heard the term “desperate times call for desperate measures”. There is some desperation in removing all other options and taking a step towards your destiny. As a woman in business we cannot deceive ourselves into misinterpreting and misaligning our insecurities with business. It is rough for sure but we have to have the determination to persevere and stay the course above all else. When times get tough in business we have to have our faith to strengthen us and carry us forward. No matter how hard the fall, faith is the softest place to land. If we never really step out on faith how can we expect it be there to cushion our fall. Image Credit: http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/haveamagnificentday/

How is FAITH like your Blood Pressure?

Aurelia Mitchell Durant's Podcast — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 16:12:20 +0000

HOW IS FAITH LIKE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE By Aurelia Mitchell Durant This year like most any other year started off with folks doing their vision boards, professing new year’s resolutions and joining in on spiritual fasts. I am participating in all three. What is different this year from the years in the past is that this year I pray for intention and the FAITH to actually keep to my intention throughout the entire year. If you’re anything like me you operate in business at times with some hesitance and a bit of second guessing. The second guessing is present because there are times when you not only have a lack of FAITH but are also scared of FAITH. Loosely translated, the bible defines FAITH as the presence of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. Hebrews 11:1. At the beginning of the year when we put together our vision board we are putting intention to what we desire by creating a visual reminder. My vision board is my bathroom, in a place where it will be seen often. Having it there is good when my FAITH is strong but horrific when my FAITH is weak. If I can be transparent, see through and virtually crystal clear, my FAITH is like my blood pressure, it changes during the course of the day! There are times when I look at my visual expression of my intention and I cry because of the realization that there are times when I just “miss the mark”. What I have been doing when that happens is praying for insight. And a piece of that insight is what I want to share with you today. The core of the insight given to me through prayer, spiritual fasting and just being is that FAITH is evidence of things unseen, yes. But there is also revelatory power in knowing when and why you have those lacks of FAITH. FAITH like your blood pressure gives you warning signals when it is at a high and also when it is at a low. For me, when my FAITH is high, I can operate my business efficiently and effectively. When FAITH is high I can make decisions and moves with confidence. Conversely, when my FAITH waivers I can barely pick up the phone or turn on my computer without being distracted and confused about my tasks. I have discovered that the root of my lack of FAITH at times is based upon my internal and secret indictment of myself because of my past missteps. If you have been in business for longer than a week, you have those things that you wish you had done better, handled differently or pursued harder. So what do you do? Well, for me, the breakthrough has been to express an intention to “clean up” those past items so that they do not continue to inhabit my present. Now don’t get it twisted, I am by no means saying live in your past. I am merely (or boldly) challenging you to live in your present with the FAITH in knowing that you are entitled to what you desire – for your business and your life. I surmise that our FAITH changes constantly like our blood pressure because we do not think we are worth of receiving what we have hoped for. Not worthy because of our past missteps; those feeling of unworthiness do not evaporate they must be addressed so that we can move forward. How you address them is up to you, it is according to YOUR FAITH!
