Take a pause and analyze your
thoughts. What are your innermost thoughts as regards your job, health,
education, business, life etc. Do you think positive or negative about these
things? Wherein lies your thoughts, there will you dwell.
Let me start by sharing a story that
happened in my office.
Mr. E. (pseudo name) was a colleague
(we shared the same office) whose skill was greatly relied on by the
management. He was very effective. After a while, he started having a feeling
that The Management were planning to Transfer him to the Security Department.
He expressed this fear with me and I (knowing what harm those kind of thoughts
could cause) quickly told him to stop thinking such thoughts. Apparently he
never did. Some two months later, there was a case of fraud in another
department and he was mentioned as a cohort. He was the only one who is not in
that department that was mentioned. The panel which was set up to investigate
the matter found all of them guilty. The Management then decided to transfer
them to non-cash areas. A lot was drawn as is done in a lottery. They all
picked their lots, lo and behold Mr. E. with his own hands chosed the Security
Department. You might say its fate but I think he attracted this to himself.
I ask again, what are your innermost
thoughts, What are you attracting to your life?
The verse in the Bible which says
“Calling things that are not as though they were” is essentially the fact I am
trying to buttress here.
No life is a perfect life (trust me
on this), we all have things or situations we would want to see manifest in our
lives. The sooner we started acting and feeling grateful for those things which
we have prayed for and made an attempt to manifest in our micro-world, the
better and happier our lives will be.
A feeling of GRATITUDE for our present
state, a word of THANKS and an UNWAVERING TRUST that our prayers are indeed
answered is a necessary prerogative in the
physical manifestation of our desired realities. In whatever endeavor you find
yourself, it is paramount that you maintain a positive outlook while knowing
you already possess those things which you desire. There is no doubt about this
that every now and then a negative thought comes calling, It is imperative (as
a matter of fact) to counter it with a positive thought. Make it a point of
duty to NEVER dwell with the negative feelings and impressions.
The way and manner our dreams and
aspirations will manifest and cause a profound change in our lives is not our
concern but we need to be consistent in truly believing through effort that a
positive outlook is the harbinger of positive Abundance
in all spheres of life.
