Your Mindset Is Everything
What’s your mindset and perception per time?
Keeping a perspective of faith and thanksgiving allows you to see as God is seeing – the possible, abundant and peaceful way.
Educating and filling your mind with quality information propels you to learn and win.
You become excellent beginning at your mindset. (Proverbs 3:13, 18:15, 1:5, Daniel 1:3-4)
Gratitude Brings Abundance
Thankfulness multiples in your attitude as you do it.
It also opens you up to blessings and favours.
We thank God for the gift of salvation, for family, friends and the tiniest blessing we experience. (Psalms 107:21-22, Ephesians 5:18-20, Philippians 4:6-7, Jonah 2:9)
Confidence And Arrogance Are Different
Arrogance/Pride is not of God. Confidence/Boldness is of God.
No matter what you have become – a Christian experiencing and performing the supernatural or a respected professional in your field, pride only blinds you if you let it in.
Fear is not humility; Many people are afraid of what people think of/say about them. Some are afraid of the future and the unknown.
This is what brings a lack of confidence, but you are to walk in faith, in confidence and in boldness. (Jeremiah 17:7, Proverbs 11:2, 18:12, Isaiah 40:31, Proverbs 26:12)
Peers And Mentors Prove Vital
It’s not advisable to underrate learning with peers.
It’s also not advisable to overrate mentors.
Both are important for your growth and success. (Proverbs 15:22, 4:13, 19:20, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Proverbs 27:17, 11:14, 13:20)
The Tongue Is To Be Bridled
You reveal who you are when you speak. Powerful, purpose-driven people talk less and listen more.
Build your value without exposing how much you do not know. (Proverbs 10:19)
Happiness Comes From Within
You may get worn out by anxiety when you struggle to receive approval.
Happiness doesn’t come from trying to prove a point to others or trying to get people to like and approve of you.
It will come from doing the things that you love and connect with, without expecting accolades or approval.
Many times, your happiness gets tampered with when you become concerned with the accolades, approval and recognition – all external factors. (Psalm 128: 2, Ecclesiastes 2:11)
‘Extraordinary’ Isn’t Reserved For Certain People
Anyone can be extraordinary in one/more areas of their lives as they choose.
This is not about rank, status or money, though these may and should come, eventually.
Being extraordinary in this context simply means still being the ordinary you but far better than average (in one area) – someone who is excellent under objective scrutiny.
The greatest is the person who sacrifices and serves more than the others.
The greatest are the people who make the most sacrifices to serve and be of value in one/more areas of their lives.
Anyone can be great (Matthew 20: 25-28).
It’s Impossible To Serve/Please Everyone
Seek improvement and receive wisdom when it is presented, but digesting every opinion and attempting to conform to every ideology will leave you unhappy and unfulfilled in your spiritual and general life.
Be sure you are pleasing God and your heart. (Proverbs 15:31, John 12:43, Proverbs 29:25)
