The theme this week is ‘be encouraged’………………………………………
I wanted to reach out to
all the readers and followers of this blog, regardless what you are going
through if you feel encouraged, you will find a way to make it work. For
example, my physical environment by in large is not desirable, with the power
of SM I am able to reach globally out to be encouraged everyday with likeminded
people.
You cannot achieve a
different life, using the same mindset that created your current reality- you
cannot start to do differently until you start to think differently. A powerful sermon that I watched was TD
Jakes-The Paradigm Shift- he explains this effortlessly. I love this quote- if
you want a different life, you will have to do something you haven’t done
before’. To add to that when you know better, you do better- Maya Angelou. On
that note I would encourage you to read and apply new information, because
knowledge is definitely power. We often underestimate the power of thoughts,
which derives from our paradigms- how we see things?
For example, my mother
always say to us ‘we cannot afford it’ but she never encouraged us to think how
we can afford it or why. This inevitability meant we live to think in lack and mediocrity.
I am a mother myself, I instil a very different paradigm because our
conversations would be typically be- this month has been very busy because of X
& Y. Therefore I don’t think it’s a priority to buy it right now, it’s
called money management. More so, is this a need or a want? Educate the child
to think we have similar things at home etc. If you still really want it you
have to save up for it or a way to earn money for it. At present she has built
a made shift Kids Salon, using her pink phone, dolls & bears as customers,
creating her own client cards you get my drift? Already her paradigm has
shifted to thinking in possibilities. Through having these conversations she
has learnt the value of money, because she is more than happy to spend my money
but when I tell her it will come out of her money all of a sudden the item is
less desirable.
Despite the trials and
tribulations of the last year, upon reflection many if not all, has been a
blessing in disguise. I am now in a much better place personally and
professionally because I am balanced and connected with my body, mind, soul and
spirit. By accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my saviour and knowing my spirit
is flawless and by living out my spiritual realm into my physical realm, learning
forgive self and others, practising self-love and receiving the healing power
of the Holy Spirit has given me true freedom and the ability to live in
wholeness. Through the Lord Christ it has elevated me into a new state of
being, if you can see the impossible you can do the impossible. I have finally
found the peace and joy that I lost through for many years, through my
environment. In the words of Steve Harvey- you have to jump to reach your
destiny. You would probably crash for a few times before you learn to fly and
eventually soar.
Please note although I
made references to biblical sources, I personally don’t think it matters
whether you are a believer or not for you to gain something from the teaching.
For example, one of my favourite business development books of all time is the
7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey. He talks about the
paradigm shift and make references to bible stories to illustrate the 7 habits
model. Joel Osteen- It’s your time (reviewed on a previous post), this was the
first book I read from cover to cover- in the part he says ‘stop thinking in
lack and mediocrity’ start to think in abundance and possibilities. If you
think ‘people like me don’t get breaks’ then it’s unlikely with that attitude,
you will try or even any good to actually come to you. I did find it funny
because I though this book was written for someone like me- because that is
exactly how I did felt & thought. That book left a deep impression on me,
it was so easy to read but by no means less effective. I think my story is a
testimony on how powerful that book was and indeed all the other sources I
read- most of which I previously posted about.
To close this I want to
encourage you all to stay encouraged, go to the library, and reach out to
likeminded people or indeed myself. There are plenty of free material on the
web, participate on SM, join in the conversation................you probably be
pleasantly surprised in how therapeutic reading actually is. When you renew
your mind, you start to renew everything else. In the words of TD Jakes- stop
allowing what happened to you, control the rest of your life.
‘When you combine knowledge and effort, you
have an unstoppable force- @commitment_coach
Have a blessed week!
