A changed mind

How you look at things daily has the ability to lead to the results you expect.  Are you seeing the world as a bad place? Then you will only see the bad in it.

How are you looking at things in general?

There are many reasons to believe that the world is a bad place to live in. With all the crimes in the world , we sometimes give up on our dreams and beliefs in life. 

We can easily become entangled with the thoughts of the world. Easily fall into the trap of negative thinking and demonstrating bad vibes.

It is easy to follow the crowd by doing what everyone else does. It can be that you start drinking, smoking, clubbing or even having meaningless relationships with men or women. This has become acceptable in society and seems like it is part of life. It is so accepted that no one sees anything wrong with it. This is when the wrong has become the norm as a pastor preached one sermon. 

There must be a reference  where we get the idea that things done even wrongly are ok.   It can be the group of friends you are hanging out with, your social club, your youth group or whatever reference you have. This is the place where you are influence in  your thinking which lead to doing and eventually forming your character. 

If you and I today must reflect on all we experienced in life. Looking at the influences we had, the actions that followed and the results it brought, we can evaluate which ones were fruitful or not. 

This started because of the mindset you had at the time. The way you looked at things and how you applied it eventually in your life. What is so important is that we should be able to grow through all the things we went through. That we should be able to exstinguish between the good and the bad choices we made in life. 

There comes a point in life that we need to become the change that we want to see. This when we need to change our thinking and make up our minds towards what we wish to accomplish. 

Its is easy to achieve anything you want when you have a changed mindset about something. It is difficult to see from your own view the wrong choices. It sometines takes long to come to the realisation that you are on the wrong path. Everyone are not fortunate enough to determine when they are going in the wrong direction.

That is why it is so important to be surrounded with the right crowd. The people that will give you positive guidance and equipping you with right tools to become successful in life. 

The people you allow in your space should encourage you to grow personally and professionally. When your friends or social club has no ambition in life or no dreams they want to achieve , you are in the wrong crowd. If life is all about having fun and enjoying the right- now moment , you are heading in the wrong direction.

Make up your mind right now to change your lanes from degrading to upgrading your social influence. A changed mind about anything has the capacity to achieve anything. Whatever you set your mind on can become your reality.

You need to become so determined that you are willing to do anything to escape a life of fruitlessness. Sometimes it may take years before you become aware of your bad choices you made,  but whenever you do , make that change in you mind immediately ..

Become determine to see different results from your choices you make towards growing as an individual. You should be impacting the world around you by becoming a change agent.  

We all have desires to become better but sometimes we loose it along the way when our focus goes onto the wrong path. When we become distracted and directed into paths leading to no results except feelings of resemtment. 

Today is the day you should make up your mind to become who you were made to be. God is the One who made us and God is the only influencer you need .

He is the One who changes our thoughts when we focus our whole mind on Him. He is the beginning of all things and the end of all. Your belief should be your source towards fruitful  results that you were made for.

Reflect on your life and decide whether you are satisfied with the results you have obtained this far.

Pushing at all costs

How far will you go to reach your goals in life?
Have you reach any of it thus far?

It is so easy to start at the beginning of a year with all the new ideas, goals, and awesome visions. We all have the enthusiam to jump into the part of going for that dream job, writing that book, starting that business but along the way that vision dimmed away.

Why is that we are so hyped up at the beginning of a project and in the middle we become lazy to continue? Well, I dont have the exact reasons for it but I personnally feel its lack of self-discipline
We cannot expect beautiful results if no work has been done.

 Do you really think you will be paid for doing nothing at a job? I dont think so and so do you. We need to put in the effort to accomplish what  we wish to achieve in our lives. There will  be times when you have to push through at the cost of your own pleasures. Your determination will ensure a great reward.

The place we found ourselves in today is the result of our choices we made. Its either we did not try hard enough to push through our obstacles or we gave up before we tried. In life we ought to make mistakes but it should be a lesson for us to examine. 

It is not that easy though to learn from mistakes because we tend to repeat things eventhough we already know the outcome. It is difficult to become free from cycles formed over the years through repetitive poor choices made. How do one break free from such vicious cycles?

Well you wont be able to do it on your own strenght. The sooner you realise you need help from above , the One who created you and made you in His own image. We can try to run away from God but He has a way of waiting on us to come to Him because He created you and me for Himself. 

We want to push through to reach our potential but there are things, friends, idols keeping us from moving forward. It is not easy as it may sound but it is definitely possible when you made up your mind completely.

Stop running away from your destiny. It is found in God and with Him you can push at any cost. It will not be in your strenght but in Gods strenght.

Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strenght and their drive to live. Are you that one that want renewed strenght? 

You might have tried some things that did not work out but that should not keep you from trying again.It is easy to quit ,  to forsake your dream but the fruit of such a choice is not good. It will always leave a feeling of resentment, insecurity and fear. 

Fear of applying again for that oppertunity of a lifetime. Fear to create your own legacy. What are holding you back? 

There is no excuse in the book that determine  that you do not qualify to be successful.In fact all of us are entitle to prosperity when we become children of God. 

Do you still believe in God in the midst of all this Covid -19 pandemic. Well if you dont , you better get your act together because if you want diffrent results  you shall make  better choices.

The most important thing we should do is to push through whatever you endeavor in life. 

Gods mercy has  the  ability to rewrite your story. He changes your eyes of the heart to see everything life were  because of God' grace.

You don't have to reach a down - and -out experience with your gift planted in you. Get up and dust yourself off.

 It is not as bad as it sound or look likes.  There are people depending on you..If not doing it for yourself think of those who you do it for. 

Stop having bad  thoughts of yourself that you miss opertunities knocking.

May God strengthen  you that you can fulfill what He planned for you.

PUSH. Pray Until Something Happens.

Bridge Builders

Do you know people who you regard as bridge builders in your life?

People that are in your life that help you at the cost of their own time. People that goes an extra mile for you. People that will give their last because of you. People who are happy when they can lend a hand in need even if they are left with nothing.

This is the type of people I would call bridge builders on my journey of life. They were the ones who saw potential when others saw only a dead street. They saw an oppertunity to invest when others saw a  lost case.

The bridge builders in my life were the teachers in primary school who inspired me into being the best even if it was tough at home. They saw something and planted seeds that made me realise I can be whatever I choose to be. 

Yes, there were potholes along the road but still light came through even if it was only a glimpse. The glimpse of a family friend who lend a helping hand by offering  a taxi fare to go for that life-changing interview, became another bridge builder. 

The pastor and family who offer you a sleeping place for the night whilst preparing for the interview the next day. The very same people who take you to the interview and spend their entire day away from their daily obligations. I call them also bridge builders.

As you embark on the new journey of working and starting to get your own money , you are overwhelmed with the amount of money you get. Never did you think you would be able to have your own pocket money. 

Especially when you think back of how you would walk to town during hostel off-days receiving no pocket money. This was  because there were not always to give and you would walk back empty handed.

During this times I came across bridge builders once more. Roomies who would share there pocket money. Its the little things that make you treasure the big things in life. 

One can not emphasise enough how extremely thankful I am for everything that I had gone through. So many  bad, sad, unhappy, fearful, shameful, regretful days were there but when I remember all the bridge builders that came along ,it replaces all the negative experiences.

How can you thank all these people? Are they aware of the footprints they left?.

Old school friends who made history with you. Primary teachers, Highschool teachers,  family, family friends, neighbours, strangers, youth leaders, pastors,  all played a part who I am.

Nobody is an island.

We all need someone. We all have a part to play in the upbringing of a new born baby in any society. 

These are just some of the many bridge builders which made me realise how everyone has a obligation to plant a seed in someone's life.  

A tree is known by its fruit. Good or bad . A tree is meant to bring forth fruit. A tree has his seed within his fruit. 

What type of fruit are you? Good or bad? What seed are you planting? Seed to develop or seed to downgrade?

Choose to be a tree that brings forth good fruit and sowing seed that grow for greatness.

Become a bridge builder for someone today.

You can be a helping hand just where you are. Look around you. Someone need just a push into the next oppertunity.

Together we can grow .
