Joy Wasted with KB Dickey

Welcome to 2025, the year we stop surviving and start thriving by embracing what it truly means to be. It’s time to stop living like we’re just passing through, waiting for the clock to run out. We were created for so much more—for rich, abundant lives full of purpose, growth, and fulfillment. And that starts with being.

We’re human beings for a reason, not human doings. While effort and action are important, they flow best when they come from a place of becoming. Your unique journey of being is tied to your God-given talents, spiritual promptings, and willingness to lean into the process.

Fighting the Process vs. Embracing the Process

Let’s be real—some of us are stuck in cycles of struggle because we resist the process of becoming. We fight the refining, dodge the lessons, and stay in our comfort zones. But here’s the truth: when we resist, we stay stuck.

To graduate to the next level of blessings, we must become who we need to be to operate at that level. This isn’t just about receiving—it’s about transformation. The anointing of that next level is powerful, and yes, it can feel overwhelming. It might even seem impossible. But the promise is clear: God will do exceedingly and abundantly beyond anything we can imagine.

The refining process may be painful, but it’s necessary. For some, the breakthrough will look like a “suddenly” moment. But you’ll know it wasn’t sudden at all. It was the result of the work you put in, the faith you exercised, and the persistence you showed.

The Work of Being

So, what does it look like to be?

1. Trust the Process
   Pain and pleasure both have their roles in your journey. Trust that each experience is shaping you into the person you need to be.
2. Stay in Alignment
   Keep listening to God’s direction. Your unique path is tied to your gifts and calling. Stay obedient, and don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s.
3. Push Through Resistance
   When you feel drained, overwhelmed, or tempted to quit, remind yourself: This year I win. Say it out loud if you have to.
4. Celebrate Progress
   Every step forward is worth celebrating. You’re not where you used to be, and that’s a victory in itself.
5. Keep Becoming
   The work of being never stops. It’s a lifelong process of transformation, growth, and alignment with God’s purpose for you.

Declare Your Victory

When procrastination, self-doubt, or discouragement creep in, pause and remind yourself: This year, I win! This isn’t just about wishful thinking—it’s a declaration rooted in faith and action. You’re not fighting for victory; you’re fighting from victory.

So, take a deep breath. The journey to becoming is worth every moment. The promise waiting for you is bigger than anything you can imagine. 2025 is your year to become and to be. Let’s win together.
