Faith is Hope

The cousin to Faith is Hope. The definition of hope is to exspect...whatever you are hoping in you have a belief that one day you exspect it to become a reality. The thing about hope is that it is easy to have an attitude of exspectation when life circumstances looks good:

 

Guaranteed-- you have a guareentee that it is going to happen.

Optimistic-- everything looks favorable

Obvious--something is easily seen or understood

Down rigth good--all the cards are alligning in your favor

 

But hoping when there is no guareentee, when the outcome doesn't look optimistic and odvious, and the situation looks down right bad. It is under these circumstances that one needs to pull out the Hope against Hope mentality. For, it is those who can hope and believe in unfavorable circumstances that find what they hoped for eventually experienced.

 

Keep Believing, Keep Hoping, Keep Exspecting!

Be the Greatest

Growing from Good to Great can be galvanized by embracing your internal, skills, talents, abilities and resources and deciding to disseminate them for the betterment of mankind.

 

Jim Collins in his classic book, "Good to Great" highlights three major things one must do to join the Great.

Determine the answer to these questions:

1. What can you be the greatest at?

2. What Business activity can fund the mission?

3. What are you Passionate about?

 

I have put my own twist on the Big 3:

1. What can you Be the Best at?

2. What Business activity can cause your financial pockets to bulge?

3. What causes you to feel the best when you are engaged in Business?

 

The number 3 has the idea of advantage. Consider that NBA champions of the past and present consisted of three all-star players. In the 60"s it was Russell, Havlicek and Cousy. In the 70's it was Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor. The 80's was a showdown of 2 sets of 3's: Bird, McHale, Parish against Magic, Kareem and Worthy. The 90's it was Jordan, Pippen and Rodman. Now it is James, Bosh and Wade. The combining of 3 has produced some great results. I propose that when you combine what you can be the best at, that thing that causes the best feelings wihin you, and that which can best rewards you financially, you have yourself a Winner. Incorporate this threesome and watch yourself go from good to Great!

 

Let us all strive to Be Great!

Transform Your Thoughts

Since virtuous visions Invent Victory, what must one do when they are in the dark and your objectives are not in clear sight? Then and always your faith must be your vision in the dark. For faith is the assurance of things hoped for, or in other words faith is standing under a guaranteed agreement. Faith's main objective is God as the one who can carry out the vision even though from an external perspective it looks impossible. Hebrews 11:33-35 reminds us of the extraordinary power of faith, "through faith one can conquer Kingdoms, administer justice, gain what was promised, shut the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword."

In Transformed Through His Thoughts, I mention that your focus will determine whether you sink in circumstances or walk in faith. So develop a God conscience faith that focuses on the attributes, incredible power, terrific, and hell-defeating strength of our God.

 

Consider:

1. Where has your focus been when you find yourself in the night of your pursuits?

2. What must you do to strengthen your faith? Romans 10:17 says, "Faith increases/comes by reading the Word of God"

3. What area of your life do you need to strengthen your faith?

 

Pray this sincere prayer, Dear Lord, be thou my vision in the dark, for I put my confidence in you!"

Energy and Efforts

For years I had been under the impression that hard work is impressive. This concept was instilled within me at an early age, and is apart of my DNA. However, hard work that is not harnessed toward a specific objective is merely an ineffective use of energy. The proper use of energy is effective. An effective Boxer doesn't swing aimlessly at his opponent. If he or she does it equates too a lot of hard work but it does not equate to effectiveness. Effective effort is efficient, it is focused, calculating and planned. So remember less is more! Richard Koch in The 80/20 Principle shares that the secrets to success is acheived by not doing more but by doing less more efficently.

 

Consider these thoughts:

1. How can I best harness my energy and efforts?

2. What ineffective efforts do I need to eliminate?

3. What activity will produce the most efficiency?

 

Have an Efficient Day,

Purpose and Plan

A definite aim, goal, purpose and direction will serve as a great defense. To be a defense is to protect against outside and even inside forces. If one knows where they are going the are better able to protect their time, energy and efforts. It amazes me on how many things and people can detour you off your course. The success minded individual knows their purpose, they have a plan, and that plan is supported with passion and they are actively pursuing that purpose. Therefore, distractions are less likely for those who have a definite purpose.

 

Consider these questions:

1. What is my definite purpose and plan?

2. What plan do you need to put in place to accomplish your purpose?

3. What distractions prevent you from carrying out your purpose?

 

 

Have an Inspired Day,

Bravery Breaks Barriers

Bravery Breaks Barriers, and boldness burst through barriers, but Fear begets barriers, and Fear fosters Fraility, and Fraility fosters Failure.  The only way to assure victory and success is through Bravery.  The ability to enlist courage to push through Barriers. 

What obstacle/s and Barriers have erected in front of your definite aim and objective in life? This barrier is no respecter of persons, it shows up as a test for every noble objective. As I write in Purpose is A Decision, "Adversity is the Gatekeeper to Success".

Break out of your comfort zone, and Break Through your Barrier/s today!

positive or negative

One's attitude whether positive or negative will alter the situation according to the attitude. One's attitude can make a Hell of Heaven or a Heaven of Hell. For mankind is not so much desturbed by things but desturbed by their thoughts and attitudes of things. Like having a suit adjusted through alteration that causes a better fit. so we can adjust our lives by altering our attitude, which will afford us a better life.

There is NMA, a Negative Mental Attitude which will alter life toward Despair and Agitation. On the opposite side is PMA, a Positive Mental Attitude which alters life toward Delight and Advancement. Try this precise but potent affirmation by Emile Coue, "Everyday in Everyway I'm getting better and better by the Grace of God."

Consider these thoughts:

Do I have a NMA, or a PMA?

Is their any thoughts that I need to alter?

Lets Alter our thoughts on the Almighty God today!

Make it an Inspired Day,

The Wise Guy

Acts 2:25

"I saw the Lord, always before me, because I am at His right hand. Because of this I will not be moved."
