Are You Fearful to Be in the Rooms You Prayed to Be In?

Have you ever entertained someone romantically, only to realize the healthy and whole individual that you used your faith to manifest, you now don’t want?

There’s a moment in every journey—especially in business—when the very space you once dreamed of no longer fits. The reel powerfully reminds us: sometimes you can fear the room you prayed to be in. And while it may sound ungrateful, there could be potential room for growth.

You remember the early days: praying for that meeting, that client, that opportunity. Then it comes, and you step in with wide eyes and gratitude. But over time, you evolve. Your vision stretches wider, your standards shift, and your energy becomes more valuable.

In business, this shows up as outgrowing partnerships that no longer align, clients who can’t see your value, or roles that box you in. The discomfort isn’t arrogance—it’s a sign that your calling has expanded beyond your current container.

Leaders and entrepreneurs often struggle with this shift. Loyalty and humility can keep you planted in spaces that no longer serve your purpose. But staying small for the comfort of others can cost you your future.

True leadership is recognizing when it's time to elevate, not out of pride, but out of purpose. It’s knowing when to leave the table and build your own. It’s trusting that new rooms are being prepared for the version of you that’s emerging.

So if you feel a little off lately—uninspired, restless, too big for the room—it may be time to move. Not because the room was wrong, but because you’ve simply outgrown it.

And that’s not failure. That’s the business of becoming.
