Growth Through Self-Belief

Hey friend,

I’ve been sitting with something lately that I need to share — not because it’s polished or tweetable, but because it’s true.

And I think you might feel it too.

There’s a point in your life where what once felt like “dreams”… turns into goals.

Not just hope, not just fantasy. Goals.

That shift alone is growth.

It means you’ve seen enough of life to know what’s possible.

You’ve started believing it's not just for others — it could be for you too.

That’s where I’m at.
I want big things.

Not just for clout or comfort, but because I know I was built for greatness.

And for a while, I believed the only way to achieve those things was to wait on God.

Here’s what I’ve realized:

A lot of people have done amazing things in life — without knowing God, without praying, without even believing.

They showed up, they fought, they won.

That humbled me.

Because while they acted, I often stayed frozen.

That’s on me. I let weakness sit in my spirit too long.

Not weakness of body or mind — but the kind where you stop believing in yourself even though God already believes in you.

I wasted my time hating, asking God why He lets those who don’t believe in Him succeed more than I do.

It was tough for me to realize that I’ve been hiding behind spiritual language.

Waiting for God to “do it all.”

But that’s not how He works.

He already gave me everything I need — now He’s waiting on me to step up.

In the middle of that mess, I cried out to God.

I begged Him to either give me the discipline to pursue these dreams or take them away entirely — because they were starting to feel more like torment than purpose.

But God doesn’t create us for failure.

Instead of removing the dreams, He gave me a principle — a clear, life-altering truth to help me break out of the cycle for good.

My dilemma was this: “I’m a child of God, so why am I struggling?” and “I want to work hard, but I don’t have the strength to do it alone.”

That’s when God showed me the bridge between grace and responsibility.

And ever since, nothing has been the same.

Here’s the principle I’ve been living by lately — one that God taught to me through my mother:

My mother said to me:

“Take one step, and God will take the nine.”

Let that sink in.

God doesn’t move when you moan, complain, or overthink.

He moves when you move.

He meets faith, not fear.

Action, not apathy.

You want to break an alcohol addiction?

Take one step. Don’t go out to drinking places.

You want to start a business?

Take one step. Give it a name. Write a plan down.

You want to build your body?

Take one step. Go for that first walk.

These small moves may not feel holy, but they are.

Because God is watching for the one step that proves your belief.

That says, “Lord, I don’t know how, but I trust You.”

Then He moves. Hard.

Because Hebrews 11:6 says this:

It’s not about having everything figured out.

It’s about having enough courage to face what scares you, trusting God to fight when your strength fails.

This is how you win:

• Face the fear.

• Take the step.

• Watch God show up.

Every time I’ve done this, He’s moved.

Not always instantly, but always intentionally.

So here’s my word for you today:

• Take the step.
• One is enough.
• God will handle the other nine.

I’m with you in the fight.

It’s time to take a hold of our destinies.

See you in the next letter.
