If it’s pulling you away from your purpose, it’s not your path.

Signs It’s A Distraction, Not A Destination:

• you feel a pull toward it when you’re avoiding something else
• it numbs you instead of fulfilling you
• you justify it more than you enjoy it
• it keeps you comfortable instead of challenging you to grow

God hasn’t confirmed it, but you’re forcing it anyway

– Jacqueline Whitney

• the peace isn’t there, even though the excitement is
• you’re using it to fill time instead of build a life
• it takes from you more than it gives
• you know deep down it’s temporary, but you’re treating it like permanent
• it distracts you from what you’re actually called to do
• you feel relief when you engage with it, but emptiness after
• it’s consuming your energy but not producing fruit
• you’re afraid to let it go because then you’d have to face what you’re avoiding

• God hasn’t confirmed it, but you’re forcing it anyway
• it looks good on the surface but doesn’t align with where you’re actually going
• you’re investing in it because it’s easy, not because it’s right
