Look Beyond The Cover Of A Book
/Why is that we spend more time being hard on ourselves than we do rewarding ourselves? The truth is most of us are our own worst enemies. It is easier to create stories about ourselves and assigning them to others. What I mean by assigning your thoughts is to project what you are thinking on to someone else and reacting as if this was verbally expressed to you. The truth is what we think about ourselves is not always what our peers, friends, or significant other thinks about us. There is a fine line between being productive and committed, then being obsessed. Setting goals are great but they are not for us to become fixated with. There must be boundaries and a balance that is created within us to recognize when enough is enough. The need to be perfect or be in control of everything, there are times where situations will be completely out of our control. We must be able to identify what is in our control maximize on that and pray about the things that are out of our control. Every obstacle we face is not designed for us to fail; they are a part of our growing process.
A lot of the times when things are going well in our lives, we say that God is working in our favor, the moment things shift we begin to believe that God is against or the devil is working. First mistake is believing that the devil possesses that level of power, secondly God is never against us. The prayers and the desires of our hearts God already knows them, which means that the tests that we face are all aligned to mold us. The tests are in place to mold us into the person we need to become for the level of success we aspire to achieve. Everything we experience in our life is meant to teach us something about ourselves. It is impossible to graduate into our promotion if we are unable to accept the storm in our lives as a test from God. The words we speak and the thoughts we have will either make a difference or hinder us. No matter how short an experience may have been or how painful it was, there is always some value and lessons to be taken with you that will add value to your future.
I am encouraging everyone to have an open mind to everything we experience. Change your perspective on how you receive your blessing in disguise. Have patience and trust that all things will work themselves out in due time, the sooner we condition our minds to seeking the lessons in our present circumstances, we get better at dealing with life and not taking anything personal. We were are not created to remain in the same space forever changes are a constant and are a necessary part of our journey. Be humble always never forget where you have been in order to get where you are going. No matter where you are in life never forget that God has the final say and God’s way is perfect trust him always. The seasons will change, people will come into your lives, and people will exit. This too shall pass your only responsibility is remaining true to yourself, be sure to set your intentions on being kind and loving. There are certain people and things in life that their only purpose is to motivate us through lessons. You are worthy, you are amazing, and there is nothing or no one that can change your destiny.
