What are you being called to do?

Why is it that most of us are called to do something, but are afraid to step out there and do it?

You may be called to be in the medical field, or you may be called to speak, teach, and of course some of you may be getting the preaching call (as the old folks used to say, some are called and some just went!). Make sure you are getting the preaching calling! Okay, so back to my question. For those that have been called to do whatever, why are you not doing it? What's got you stuck?

Being able to identify what's got you stuck is a huge breakthrough moment in moving forward. A lot of times the answer is simply fear. Often defined as False Evidence Appearing Real, FEAR has kept up from living on purpose for God. What are you afraid of?

If you're wondering what may be holding you back from what you know in your heart you are being called to do or you want to explore the fear you may be experiencing, then send me an email for a complimentary life coaching session (CoachFon@FonJames.com)

Awareness is the key to unlocking your stuck state-of-mind.

Your Purpose May Come from The Pain

When I coach my clients, there is always something that comes up in the session that seems to cause them pain. Whether it's a lack of something or a desire for something that is so heavy, they just can't seem to fathom waiting any longer. Whatever it may be, it's creating this sense of pain for them. But how many of you know that your purpose may come from that very pain?

See when you go through things, God has a way of getting the glory out of it, which translates into purpose, and you may be fulfilling His purpose through the pains you're having to endure. The great thing is God doesn't let us endure the pain without Him. He provides us with His unconditional love, grace and mercy.

I hear you. You're saying, but Coach Fon it's just unbearable and I am tired of the pain. I am ready for a change right now. You're right, you may very well be tired of going through it, but I'm here to tell you that you are currently building character and growing your faith through that pain, which may be helpful for your purpose.


Whatever you're dealing with today, consider it part of the process and part of the journey you must take for you to be who you need to be in order to serve God and live out His purpose for your life.

Be Encouraged and Be Blessed...and today...Be Strong!

Busy, But Unproductive

Did you ever work at a fast food restaurant? If not, let me tell you how it was for me. There were peak times at the restaurant when the place was hopping and then there were times when there weren't any customers in the place. But because you were "on the clock," management felt that you had to be "busy" doing something. Even if all the dishes were clean, the floors mopped, or the counters spotless, you still had to wipe them down again or find "something to do" to keep yourself busy, because heaven forbid you just chill until you get busy with customers again.

So you do meaningless tasks that are unproductive but make you "look" like you are earning your pay. You pretend to be wiping down that already clean counter. You restack the napkins that are already stacked. You over fill the cup holder because there are already enough cups there. You check and recheck to make sure you have enough fries and hamburger patties in the freezer. Everything is stocked. Kitchen is clean. Dining Room is clean. Check. Check. Check. There really isn't anything to DO, but you keep DOING.

The same thing happens in a corporate enviroment...has your manager or you as the manager ever said..."look busy, the head guys are coming today."

Why am I bringing this up you ask? Because every now and then, I find myself getting caught up in that fast food mentality of just looking busy. But then I wonder...Am I getting paid for my production or my presence? Am I getting paid for my experience or my extra clean countertop? Am I getting paid for my proficiency when I actually work or my pretended-ness when I'm actually not working? Am I getting paid for results or repetitive tasks that yield no results?

Tell me...why I am here? Why are you here? What are you doing? What are we doing?
Busy, but unproductive. WOW!
