Your PURPOSE explains what you
are doing with your life. Your VISION explains how you are living your
purpose. You GOALS enable you to realize your vision.
~Bob Proctor
Its more common than not to hear
many people including myself saying I will try to do this or that next time or
next year. It feels good to put off an event or action that seem to be
challenging your abilities beyond what you current mental constructions are
able to cope with.
Every time a good idea comes into
your mind, it is always crowded with some extra energy, extra cost and extra
effort required to get through with it. Unfortunately when the call to do extraordinary
things come our way, we try to dig for every available excuse by all means to
justify why we can’t venture into action at that moment. The usual result is
that we end up regretting as we see other people getting started and succeeding
with the same idea we just put off just a few days or weeks even months ago. I
ask myself the question, how did the golden idea get out and end up with another
person who eventually actualizes it and becomes successful? This is what
happens; when an idea comes to you, it has come for you to manifest it into reality
of form and this could be because you were thinking and believing for a million
dollar idea to show up for your use. True to God’s promise, He brings the idea
into you consciousness. However, when the idea comes, you are not ready.
Put simply, all ideas are like energy in motion at a certain frequency. If you do
not take advantage of it while you are in that frequency of thought, another person whose thought pattern is at the same
frequency will pick up the idea and lo and behold they run with it and succeed
while you watch with your hands full of good excuses. In life you can be somebody
who watch things happen or somebody who waits for things to happen or you can
be somebody who makes things happen. The choice is yours!\
There is a story in the Christian Bible of
2Kings 7:1-10. The nation of Israel as told in these scriptures was besieged by the Syrian army. The people
were locked within the walls of the city such that nothing was going in and out
of the city of Samaria. The siege resulted in the city running out of food
supplies to an extent where people started eating each other’s children in order to survive. The
Syrian army camped outside the city walls and had plenty of food while the
people in the besieged city were starving. The children of Israel locked within
the walls of the city with no food and fear had gripped them. Here is a
scenario where a group of blessed people locked in by fear. Because of fear, none of the children of Israel dared to show their face outside the walls of the
city where the food was for fear of the enemy. When you are hanging around a group of scared
individuals, you will always start eating each other’s children, meaning you
will be killing each other’s dreams and goals. Scared people always discourage
each other from attempting anything new that can make anyone amongst them
unique or stand out. Talk about any business idea to a bunch of scared folks and you will
hear about how many failed businesses they will through at your face just to
convince you that you cannot make it. May be you have been wondering why your
life has not taken off yet, just look at the people surrounding you and what
you have been talking about.
In the midst of the city of
Samaria a prophet by the name of Elisha stood amongst the children and
proclaims victory that things will be better tomorrow and food will be cheaper
at the gates of Samaria. However, none of the people in the city believed the
message and was willing to take the risk to go and be the agent of the success
proclaimed by the prophet. The Israelis still chose to remain within the
walls of the besieged city. Its only four (4) lappers who were outside the city
also affected by hanger, that decided that enough was enough and unless they did something they were
going to starve. The Bible records that the lappers started off towards the
enemy camp where the food was and of course as the story goes, God delivered food and valuable
items into their hands. How the enemy fled and left everything behind is another story
for another day. Anyway, one thing is clear, the lappers didn’t care whether
the Syrian army had guns or nuclear weapons, or they knew was that they wanted
food and the enemy camp was the store house of food at the time. The moral of the story is that
many times the people who are seen to be successful are no better than you are.
In essence we can call the people who are succeeding in a way considered as
lappers in comparison to you who has judged yourself as being smart but very
inactive. The only difference is that while you have spent your whole life
calculating the risks in life, they have gone ahead and taken the risk. Just
like flying and growing the wings on the way up. You have spent your life
getting ready to be ready while they have taken steps and jumped into action.
You may have been considering the business world as enemy ground and very
difficult to penetrate. But think about it; that is where the money is. When
you refer back to the Bible, God promised the children of Israel the promised land of Canaan, the
land of milk and honey but the land of Canaan was not empty. There were people already living in that land. They were required
to go and fight to possess Canaan. You have a promise of financial prosperity
over your life but alas the money is being held by other people in the bank.
You need to rise from your slumber and fight for your money innovatively for the money transfer to be initiated. money will never rain in your pocket. Action is required
May be it’s the leader or role
model you have been following that is your main hindrance. A great king is not
the one with the most subjects but is the one who leads the most subjects to
royalty. Just like a good teacher is not the one with the most knowledge but
the one who makes the most students with more knowledge. It may not be the lack
of faith that is destroying your life but the lack of knowledge. The creator
has given each one of us the power of creativity through the faculty of
imagination. Whatever you can dream, you can build it. Anything you can dream
through the power of imagination, just know that you have been wired with the
ability to achieve it otherwise you can’t even dream it.
Whatever you are dreaming just
believe that you can achieve it. Determine to take steps towards your possessions in the
enemy camp because the limitations you are seeing are not real, but just in
your imagination.
To your success
