Live on Purpose


What do you daydream about? What do you think about most of the time? What are you reading right now? What are you listening to? The answers to these questions matter because they affect the direction of your life. The truth is: if you see yourself staying the same, you will. If you see yourself succeeding, you will.

John F. Kennedy imagined putting a man on the moon. Bill Gates imagined every home having a computer connected to the internet. The common thread is they all imagined something before it happened. Mary, the mother of Jesus was willing to be "pregnant with the future".  Likewise we must become pregnant with the destiny God has prepared for us from before the foundation of the world.

Too many people live their lives in the past hindering the birth of a better future. There are some words for this; worry, self pity, negative thinking, fear based thoughts … this conception guarantees the birth of the same. Imaginations positive or negative are kept alive by constantly thinking about them.
 Creation is always happening. Every time we have a thought,
or a prolonged chronic way of thinking, we are in the creation process.


Your life right now is a reflection of your dominant thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great. So its easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been by looking at the condition of your life.

 
You are living the life you imagined if it is not what you want, start imagining a better life. This is not meant to upset you but to give you understanding of how to stop the cycle. We can’t let our circumstances define us, or defeat us. We have to change the tape, hit the delete button. If you want to know where you are going to be 5 years from now. Take an inventory of your thoughts and listen to what you are saying  now.

 
The Good News is that we are all a masterpiece created by God Himself. In His Image and likeness and we are fully loaded to accomplish all that we are destined to achieve!

When you wake up in the morning instead of letting your first thoughts be: I am so tired, I wish I didn’t’ have to work, cant wait for this day to be over. Before you turn on the news, check the whether, stock report, or open your email, Set the tone for your day by rehearsing what you have to be grateful for instead of rehearsing your perceived negatives. As soon as you open your eyes say thank you when you close your eyes at night say thank you

 
Big dreamers keep their dreams alive by constantly thinking about them. Big dreams don’t just pass through their minds every once in a while seeming so big and unrealistic they just let it go. NO – they conceive those big dreams in their image center, become pregnant with possibility and then give birth to what they have imagined. 

 
You have the ability to make your dreams and desires become a reality. Your life could look completely different even 1 month from now, or you could stay right where your are the choice is ours. We have already proven to ourselves that if we can conceive it in our minds we give birth to it in our lives.

Let’s start conceiving some great big things and live on purpose!
