You ever hear the phrase you are what you think? You are what you speak? Well I believe this to be very true, no questions about it. In fact there are scriptures in the Bible that say so. Psalms 34:13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Ask yourself this, do I think and speak negatively or do I speak and think words of life? I would like to encourage you to think about this for a moment! The way we think and talk is so important. It determines where we go in life and the way we are viewed by others. Be known as someone who only uplifts, someone who motivates people to be all they can be. Don't be a person who tears apart or shuts people's dreams and ideas down? When friends or family come to you with an idea or A dream they have, give them encouragement. Tell them to go for it, give their all and don't give up.
Did you no you can achieve any goal or dream you desire? If you desire to be wealthy, you can! If your dream is to fight poverty, become an oversees missionary, build a business, you can. The only thing that can stop you, and I mean the only single thing that can and will stop you, is you. We need to get this idea out of our minds that our culture has put on us, that some people are just better and smarter than us. That is nonsense, God has given us all powerful brains, able to achieve anything. J.r. Simp lot, a man who was worth almost a billion dollars before he died, didn't even have a high school education. It's a good thing he didn't allow people to tell him he couldn't succeed. It's true we each have different talents and abilities. Not everyone can do everything but we can certainly all do something. Instead of using the words like, "I can't afford that" or "I'm not smart enough" why don't you ask yourself, "how can I afford it" or "how can I become smart enough". Get foolish thinking and looser words out of your life. They will bring you down and keep you from your full potential. What are your goals/dreams in life? What is it you want to achieve? Think about it, write down your goals/dreams and go for it! Don't allow negative people, including yourself to determine who you become!
Great post, Marc. So inspiring and so true!
