"If I don't do this, what am I really losing?"

Friend, this question kept me trapped for years.

When an inspired idea would come, instead of moving forward with confidence, I'd talk myself out of it by thinking I could live without that accomplishment, that extra income, that goal.

And I could justify it all away.

But in a recent episode of Alive and Abundant, I shared my breakthrough moment—when I realized the profound selfishness of this thinking.

The question I should have been asking was:

"If I don't create this, who might miss out on something valuable?"

This simple shift changed everything.

When God places a vision in your heart, it's rarely just about you. Your ideas, your gifts, your resources aren't meant to benefit only your life—they're meant to flow through you to bless others.

As 2 Corinthians 9 reminds us, God provides seed to the farmer and bread to eat, but also increases our resources to "produce a great harvest of generosity" in us.

What idea has God planted in your heart that others are waiting to benefit from? What gift are you holding back that someone else desperately needs? What resources has God given you that were meant to flow, not stagnate?

I invite you to listen to this week's episode, where I unpack this revelation and show how shifting from selfish thinking to kingdom thinking can transform not just your life, but countless others.

Living abundantly isn't about accumulating more—it's about allowing more to flow through you.

With love and encouragement,

Stefanie
