When Growth Demands Everything: Staying the Course in Your Becoming

By Colleeno Chippy





There comes a sacred moment in every becoming where life quietly asks a serious question: Are you willing to become who you prayed for—even when the road stops feeling familiar? Growth does not arrive gently. It does not tiptoe into your comfort zones. Growth arrives with invitations to stretch, to shed, to surrender old versions of yourself that once felt safe but are no longer aligned.


True growth requires strength that isn’t loud but deeply rooted. It requires the courage to keep going when reassurance is silent. It requires faith that doesn’t depend on visible proof. And most of all, it requires your willingness to trust that what is unfolding—even when unclear—is already preparing you for something far greater than what you are leaving behind.


There is a quiet knowing that begins to rise when you are stepping into your new life. You may not yet hold it in your hands, but you feel it in your spirit. You feel that your future is already forming. You sense that your prayers have not been ignored—they are being prepared.


This is the season where your discipline matters. Your mindset matters. Your choices matter. This is where you decide whether you will stay rooted in the vision that God placed inside you or retreat back into comfort because the path feels uncertain.


Staying the course is not about stubbornness—it is about alignment. It is about trusting the process even when progress feels invisible. It is about continuing to show up when your old life whispers, Come back, it was easier here. But you were not created for easier—you were created for greater.


Growth stretches your patience. It refines your priorities. It exposes what must be released. And it strengthens your spirit in ways nothing else can. This is not a detour. This is not delay. This is development.


And yes—this road may feel lonely at times. But it is sacred ground. You are being shaped, protected, and prepared.


You are not chasing your future.

You are becoming ready for it.


And what is being prepared for you is not smaller than what you left—it is far better.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
