Be honest with yourself as you reflect and ask whether there are areas in your life where you might be trying too hard . If you are feeling stuck , experience some freedom today by pausing a bit . Let God ’ s wind blow your hair back like a dog with its head out the car window .
Perhaps you need to make some changes in your life to sync up more fully with the person God created you to be . Let the previous versions of you go , and ask God to help you live into the bright future He has for you as a new creation . Then repeat this to yourself every morning : “ New day ; new me .” We don ’ t go to sleep having one career and wake up with a new one ( unless you call your boss and quit at 2:00 a . m .).

Live in anticipation of the cumulative effect of small daily changes you make . The world can ’ t wait to meet the person you are becoming .
