Would you like to know what the number one obstacle is between your current life and the life that you long to live?
It is not the lack of money, or time, or education.
Problem number one is…
His mentality!
Although it hurts to hear it, your thought patterns are what govern your life.
For example, if a person has a negative perception of his life, his beliefs are going to be bad. If you believe wrong, you will think wrong. If you think badly, you are going to make bad decisions and, therefore, you are going to act badly. If you act bad on a regular basis, your life is going to be a disaster.
Sounds logical right?
In the Bible it clearly says: "What is the thought in the heart of a man, such is he." (Proverbs 23: 7)
That is why an external change will always have to be preceded by an internal change.
Still, our tendency is to try to change things on the outside first. In the area of finance it is also like that.
If we want to improve our financial situation, we look for more work instead of dealing with our scarcity mentality.
We are not daring when it comes to undertaking, because we do not confront our fears. We make small decisions, because we don't think big.
And so on.
The greatest battles in our life are fought in the mind and it is also there that we surrender or win our greatest victories.
The good thing is that we can change our mindset. You don't have to keep thinking like you think for the rest of your life. You can start today with a strong determination to change your mental patterns so that you can experience the changes in your financial situation that you long for.
How is it done?
Here are two powerful questions you can ask to help transform your negativity into a mindset that does not question success.
1. What is the story you are living?
Many people live a story from their past. They suffered some mistreatment or injustice and unconsciously determined that that would determine what they are. This is especially the case in the case of great disappointment caused by a very close loved one.
Rather than constantly remembering that hurt and allowing her to determine the history of pain and defeat that she will experience, it is much better to forgive.
Forgive is not forget. It is making the firm decision that this pain is no longer going to be an obstacle in your life.
2. Who are you listening to?
It is what God asked Adam when he fell into sin. He heard a message that twisted the truth that was ruling his life.
In the same way, if you listen to the wrong news, the outcome for your life can be fatal.
And bad news is free. We are bombarded with them 24 hours a day!
So you have to make a conscious effort to balance the negative with the good news.
I personally do not see news. I find out what is happening in the world by looking at the front page of a daily newspaper. However, I spend a lot of time listening to and learning from the Bible, where I find the good news that daily tells me that God loves me, wants good for me, that Christ has already won the victory for me and that God does not create failures.
It is those truths that allow me to filter all the negative information that tries to invade my mind daily.
For something it says like this in the Bible:
«For although we walk in the flesh, we do not fight according to the flesh;
Because the weapons of our military are not carnal, but powerful in God for the destruction of strongholds;
Throwing down arguments and all arrogance that rises against the knowledge of God, and taking captive every thought to the obedience of Christ. " (2. Corinthians 10: 3-5)
Any adverse thought you receive, immediately discard it and replace it with a favorable thought.
And never forget: God is for you, not against you!
