Your Vision

Your vision of who you want to be is your greatest asset.
“Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.”  —Oprah Winfrey


This statement made by Oprah is a powerful one to say the least. While I’m not a fan of what Oprah teaches, because as you know, she is a great believer of New Age philosophy, there is no doubting the truth in the statement above.

As children, we had an incredible imagination, with dreams of what we would become when we grew up. Some fulfilled those dreams, sadly most have not. Many of us grew up quickly and did not have the opportunity to chase and catch those dreams. I was one who did catch the dream, but I got comfortable and took for granted that it would never end. As you well know, reality does set in and you find out nothing lasts forever.

As you and I have discovered, we have to continue dreaming and setting goals to continue progressing effectively through life.

“No matter where you are right now, you can have any future you want.” That is a statement you hear often, but is it true? I have to answer that it is partially true. The reason is, God has put certain skills and abilities inside of us. If I were to say, “I am going to climb Mt. Everest next week and I will not need to prepare for the climb.” That isn't realistic, at all. I could potentially do it in the future, but I would need to prepare and train. Another important element is desire. I have no desire to climb that mountain. Desire is a key element to continuing to follow through with what you have before you.

But one thing is for certain, what you plant you must harvest. So please plant with intention. Your thought process is key. Mental creation always precedes physical creation. You must look at what natural skills you have and begin there. When I look at things I desire, I begin in the media world. That is the way my mind functions. I include writing in this category. That is part of my make up.

The blueprint you design in your head becomes the life you build, but you must have a blueprint! You start with your thought process. You may have to go to a quiet place, to get alone with God and let Him begin to prompt on the inside of yourself, what He has placed there and begin the discovery process.

Don’t let society tell you how your house (life) should look. You are an artist and a creator of the life you are to discover and then live out that life. Build the foundation from what you discover from your time with God. Your life can be exactly how you want it, whether or not it’s considered a “mansion” by others. Home is where your heart is.


Let the discovery begin!!

Perspective

In each situation in our lives we react a certain way to what is happening, in many cases reacting differently than other people. Why do we react differently than others? It is perspective!     Perspective is defined as “a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.” In a light hearted way, (in some cases) a football game comes to mind. You may be pulling for your favorite team and your good friend is pulling for the opposing team. Each of you are pulling for your team with all your might. At the end of the game, one of the teams prevails while the other team is dejected over the loss.   If your team won and your friends team lost. You are thrilled, your friend not so much. From your perspective it is awesome to have a win, your friend isn’t happy at all. Why? It is from the perspective you are coming from. You may have a particular point of view concerning a matter and many around you don’t share your view. You think in the manne...

Your Thought Life

It is interesting to me, how we don’t realize that how we think, affects our lives. We make most of our decisions based on what we ponder. Consider how much you dwell on a particular thought and at some point you make plans on how you will make it happen.  You possibly have thought on a matter so intently, that you start making hand motions or your foot moves as if you are actually doing what you are only thinking about. Your thoughts are actually very powerful. It is the genesis of any action you take. Books have been written on what effects our thinking can accomplish. Possibly one of the better known books on the subject is “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill. The book was first released in the 1930’s and changed the trajectory of many lives. Many of the concepts are found in the Word of God, the writer only acknowledges the fact in rare mentions. Another source that is out there is the Master Key System. It follows the same concept as the book “Think And...
