Sigue adelante con una actitud demasiado legítima en las mañanas difíciles

Some mornings test us more than others. On my way into the office today, I was reminded of this truth in the most unexpected way—through an old-school song by MC Hammer. The chorus echoed, “Too legit, too legit to quit.” 

In that moment, I felt the Spirit whisper, “I have legitimized you.” God has affirmed, validated, and authorized your calling. His seal on your life means you have no reason to give up, even when the world feels heavy and the pace is relentless. 

Leadership—whether in ministry, business, or community—can easily push us into striving mode, where we’re just trying to survive. But you and I are not called to simply exist. We are called to thrive. 

Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us: 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

This isn’t just about endurance—it’s about forward motion. Even when mornings feel heavy, even when plans unravel, and even when discouragement knocks on your door, you have been equipped with everything that pertains to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). 

Yes, there will be days when you don’t feel like getting up, when the inbox is overflowing, when the team is struggling, and when you wonder if it’s worth it. But the truth remains—God’s legitimacy over your life outweighs every obstacle before you. 

To be too legit to quit means you: 

The enemy would love for you to shrink back, but thriving leaders know that survival is not the goal—impact is. And impact only comes when we move beyond just breathing to building, beyond existing to excelling. 

You are too legit to quit. 

Reflection Questions 

Here’s your expanded Scripture Focus in the Amplified Bible version, with a touch of depth so it ties seamlessly into your “Too Legit to Quit” leadership blog.

Scripture Focus (Amplified Bible)

Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP)

“For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

This verse assures leaders that God’s intentions are rooted in His perfect wisdom and unchanging goodness. Even when our circumstances feel unpredictable, His plans remain anchored in peace, provision, and purpose. As leaders, this truth becomes our compass—reminding us that we are not drifting aimlessly; we are moving toward a God-ordained future.

2 Peter 1:3 (AMP)

For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

Leaders are often tempted to believe they lack what’s needed to fulfill their calling. This scripture dismantles that lie, revealing that everything—from wisdom to endurance, from strategy to strength—has already been deposited in us through our connection with Christ. We lead from a place of divine sufficiency, not human scarcity

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Paul’s words remind leaders that progress requires focus. Thriving demands that we let go of past failures, past victories, and past limitations. We are called to press on—moving with intentionality toward the ultimate goal: fulfilling God’s call with excellence, resilience, and faith.

Closing Prayer 

Father, thank You for legitimizing my calling and equipping me with everything I need to thrive. Help me to rise above mere survival and lead with boldness, clarity, and faith. Strengthen me to press forward when I feel weary and to see each challenge as an opportunity to display Your power. Today, I declare that I am too legit to quit because You are faithful to complete what You have started in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
