What is it that guides your emotions, thoughts and actions? Are they easily swayed by what you see or anything that comes your way? Well, I’m telling you to let that type of attitude go and tell it to never come back because it’s part of what’s been holding you back!
Anyone can start anything. Anyone can start going back to school, enroll in the nearby gym, writing that book, or working on that business but only the committed will stay focused no matter what challenges may come your way and remain focused to see your goal through until the end.
If achieving success were easy, everyone would be doing it and we’d have a happier world. But because it’s so challenging to build a life that you desire most people settle into a mediocre life. I would love to tell you that pursuing your success is going to be easy but I would be lying to you. Everything good in this world is going to be met with opposition. You’re going to have to fight for what is rightfully yours, which includes your dreams, your family, your future and your success.
Along with perseverance and persistence, you must allow faith to rule your heart because that is where your power comes from. Whatever is in your heart will impact your thoughts and will be the words you choose to speak out of your mouth – which will influence what you attract into your life. When you truly have faith, you’re supposed to use it to work for you. Faith is your servant and it will do as you tell it to.
However, if you allow doubt, setbacks and the negative opinions of others to influence your heart, your faith will be frustrated. The goal of the opposition that you face is to steal your faith because without faith, you cannot receive the abundance of unlimited favor and success that has been laid out for you. If the opposition can steal your faith, it can steal everything else from you.
In spite of what you may see in front of you, remember that your creative power is in your heart, thoughts and most importantly your words. Stop claiming defeat, lack and failure. It’s time to let faith rule in your heart, your mind, your words and in your actions. Faith is not faith if it’s not working for you.
You must do and say everything in faith. Not in some “magical power type of attitude” but trusting that if God is for you then who can be against you. Trusting that God has the best for you and you can have confident trust in Him to work on your behalf. Instead of working overtime at hustling for your dreams, try working your faith overtime to bring to you what you’re hoping for!
Faith is the confidence and assurance that what you’re hoping for will happen but sometimes we must endure the test of faith to receive the very thing that we hope for. That happens because your faith is being perfected and if you don’t pass this test of faith, how will you pass the bigger tests of faith that life will inevitably throw your way?
Faith is a muscle and it must be exercised! It’s not something that you pull out in a motivating quote on social media; it’s a daily way of thinking, feeling and deciding. Both faith and fear are essentially the same thing, believing that something that hasn’t happen will happen but one believes what you hope for and the other believes the opposite. But you have the decision to choose which one will rule your life.
Let go of what has happened to you in the past, release anyone who has hurt you because lack of faith is often rooted in bitterness and make a decision to let faith rule your life. I guarantee that when you do, you will see the glory that has been promised to you!
Let faith rule!
XOXO,
