Challenge Yourself

F4 Challenge: Faults, Fears, Flaws, Feelings

These are the four areas that I struggle with most: faults, fears, flaws, and feelings. Most of which are common human traits. I've been fasting and praying, soul searching, and researching, in an attempt to regain my peace and piece of mind. I made a few discoveries along the way, that I will share later.

Faults: "My fault!" How often have you said this? Ever really consider your faults? My biggest faults are impatience, busyness, and my weight. 

Fears: At the root of every flaw, fault, or feeling is some form of fear. We fear so many outcomes and things, though we are "walking by faith". My biggest fears are needles and failure.

Flaws: Each of us has a fundamental character flaw. We were either born with it or adopted it during our "growing pains". My biggest flaw is my mouth; I always feel the need to explain, share, or obligate myself to something).

Feelings: We must embrace our emotions but not wallow in them. Feelings are fleeting.

I discovered the #30Layers30Days challenge, by GG Renee, via Twitter a while back (November challenge is underway). After completing a couples days of this challenge, I felt inspired and motivated to recommit to my blog, writing, and documenting my journey. I also began asking myself these questions:

*What are your fears? Flaws? Will this be your legacy?

*What about you today would make you cringe at age 30? 25? 16?

*What would you stand for, if you knew you wouldn't be judged/persecuted? 

*What would you do, if you knew you couldn't fail?

*Which is worse, not trying or failing?

*Are you functioning in your purpose? 

*What would you give up to reach your next level/goals?

CHALLENGE: Over the next 7 days, answer these questions...unashamed, uninhibited, and unbothered by anyone or anything. I will share my answers in the next blog (Lawd help me). 

Communicate. Capacity. Character.
