You have been working on something for a long time--or there is something you have been putting off and now is the time to get it started.
It doesn't matter what it is. A project for the home. A side business. Getting in shape. Furthering your education. Moving forward in your grief. And the list goes on . . .
Whatever it is, you may find yourself asking who has your back? Who is supporting you?
First, let me tell you that you should be supporting you. You should be the one to put the full weight of your decision into whatever it is that is driving you. Letting others in, especially at an early stage, may be disastrous.
But this depends on who it is that you are letting in.
Find one who will be both honest and positive. They should be an encouragement to you. If something is completely unrealistic--like, if I wanted to be the next great NFL quarterback, when I've never played football and I could care less about the sport--the feedback should be something you should take to heart. But if you have been in the business world for a few decades and want to advance your career by going for an MBA, that is more realistic.
It may be difficult to find the right one to support you. But, if you trust in God, the support will be found for you.
But as a first step, give yourself grace, be positive, and be your number one supporter first.
