Begin from the end......
Wonderful results, the life we want, our worthy goals, or anything great, the key to achievement is live from the end!
What does this mean? This means we must direct our concentration and focus on the new image of us living as we wish. Think of it like watching a movie, your movie, from your living room. Really, you are your own director, producer, and star.... So, make your own movie how you want it to be! Your current circumstances do not matter. Do not allow yourself to even notice them, visualize your dream, the new you! Let your new movie play out in your mind and enjoy it.
This is going to be difficult, if not impossible, unless you first study your self-image, your thinking, your inner circle of friends, and the types of things you talk and think about. What do you really want? Change in your life can only succeed when you change your thinking. This is a proven fact and happens every day whether we believe it or realize it, or not. It is a law just like the law of gravity. We do not have to understand it to see how it works, but we do have to understand it to succeed in changing,
Living from the end seems so wonderful, because it is. You know, positive affirmations work and are great, but they only work when we have made them part of life through committed repetition, then speak and think of them in confidence knowing we are capable of this achievement.
Think of the Bible, the teaching of Christ, the writings of the great saints all those years ago. What did they tell us over and over? Living through Christ mean focusing on the good. That is why Paul told us, “Whatever things are good, lovely, right, true, just, pure, think on these things.” Jesus told more than one person when performing a miracle, “It is done according to your faith (belief).”
What does ‘think on these things’ really mean? It means to focus through repetition, making it part of who you are. The successful process of doing this means a few things. It means writing out your positive affirmation about you, it means writing it every day until it becomes so impressed upon your sub-conscious mind, it becomes who you now are. It means studying your conditioning and adjusting your false self-image. This is absolutely essential to the beginning of your new life. It means eliminating all forces of evil and negativity from your life. This would include who you associate with. Ask yourself if the people you spend the most time with are supporting your worthy goals, if they are like-minded, are they involved in complaining, gossip, fear thinking, worry, doubt, criticism, disrespect? It could be you cannot completely cut them out of your life, but you really must limit the time you spend engaging people like this. Why? The reason is because we become exactly like the five people we spend the most time with. This is critical to your success, especially relative to changing thinking and results! What are you looking at and reposting on social media? Something positive that keeps your mind in the right place, or not? Only you can change that.
Many years ago, I was not living in a positive manner. My results were so negative and stressful, and every day was getting worse. I concluded I no longer wanted to experience such stress and negativity and therefore decided to ‘straighten up’ as my mother put it. I started studying my Bible and going to church again. I started my family and really wanted my children to know God and have great people to associate with. Here is what happened. The people who I thought were my friends no longer came around. They did not want to join me on my new journey of a different and better life. They no longer called or socialized with me once they found out I was on a different path. At first that bothered me, but then I saw the value in this for I no longer was being influenced by negativity and more importantly, I was no longer getting horrible results in my life that were compounding problems!
I have learned that misfortune, illness, fear, worry, doubt, lack, and trouble of every sort will follow the person who does not focus on the positive in life and make a committed decision to better their life. It is a law in this world, just like every other law of our being. It works whether we use it to our advantage, or not, whether we believe it, or not, and whether we understand it, or not,
Why do so many people focus on negativity, perpetuating on social media or in their own life, things that do not serve a good purpose or positive results? None of this is new information, you can go back as far as possible in all of history and see this existed then. People continue in a negative life and mindset for a few reasons.
First, human beings are conditioned both genetically and environmentally from birth. We must change our conditioning to change our results. Second, most people are ignorant of this concept. Ignorance is the opposite of knowledge, and just means someone has not yet learned something. Most people blame circumstances, events, the government, other people for their results, or see themselves as failures. They do not understand that we are God’s highest form of creation and already have the potential and skills, everything we need to live a great life with better results. Another reason for a negative life is not truly understanding the fact that we are the result of our thinking, whether good or bad, positive or negative, and the people we associate with whether online or in person perpetuate the results we live with.
How badly do you want to change your life? Look at your results, they always tell us where our thinking is, results never lie. Look at your closest social interactions. Are those people positive? Do they complain, criticize, gossip, talk about others or their own problems all the time? Or do they share great ideas, are they creative, are they on the right track? Their results will also tell you what they think about.
Now is the time, today is the day, make the changes in you that will help you live your dream and your worthy goal. Stop wasting your life in negativity and with subpar results! God never meant any of us to live that way. We can meet every day with gratitude, see the day as the gift it is, use the pen in our own hand and decide how our days will go. It is possible, Jesus said it is.
I believe in you! Let’s do this – together!
