Mindset

-
Imagine that you are driving at full speed but no matter how fast you go you seem to be in the same place. 2020 was a year that put all our lives into perspective. 

Towards the end of 2020 I read a book entitled The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. I learned a lot from reading that book and I decided to put some of those things into practice. 

The fourth of January 2021 I walked into my office, where I work as an online English teacher in my little cubicle, and the first thing my colleagues asked me is if I had a date after work because I was looking smart and fine. Now let me give you the full story. Since I started working at this company in 2019 my dress code was jeans or pants and hoodies. It was only natural for them to assume that I was dressed up for a special occasion. 

My change of wardrobe was constant so one of my friends eventually asked me why I changed my dress code. So I told her I was dressing for my future job. I don't know what that job is but I know I will be required to look good and professional. 

So what I had decide after reading the book is that I was going to start living the life I want in the future. I am going to dress up for my future job, put in all the time, discipline and hard-working I will need in my future job into my current job. I would start working on becoming the person I want to be in the future now because my future starts now. 

You need to start living the life you want now. Start acting like you already have the job you want. Be the partner you want to be to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with now. I am not saying you have to be in a relationship to act like the partner you want to be. I am talking about building the character you want to have for when your right partner arrives. 

Make your dreams a reality by living your dreams. Your subconscious will bring into existence that which you feed it. If you tell yourself you want the job you will keep wanting. If your thinking is 'one day I will have that car' you'll keep waiting for one day. We need to tell our brains that the job and the car are ours and live like you believe in what you are saying. 

Doubt is what is keeping you stagnant. The more you doubt yourself the more your subconscious will believe that you are incapable.

Part of living the life I want is going out and exploring. Those who know me, know that I like food but I also like going out. I have made it a point that I include entertainment or relaxation into my schedule. I was tired of saying I will take a break when I am on leave. I barely take leave so I decided to dedicate my weekends to living and having fun.

Many people think I am rich because I go to fancy restaurants, have three course meals or frequent and do costly things. I am not rich but I am telling my subconscious that that is the lifestyle I want and therefore I am living it now.  

Pray your life into existence because God has promised that whatever you ask in faith you will have. God makes my money work for me. He allows me to enjoy an abundant lifestyle despite what I earn. In turn I am faithful to Him. Tell God what you want and He will give you what you deserve according to His will. You need to honour Him with whatever He gives you.

The two most important words in English are 'I am ...' Whatever you put after those two words so shall you be.

Chosen

Have you ever stopped to think about what it means to be chosen? At birth, women have 1 million eggs. At puberty about 300 000 and in her lifetime 300 - 400 of those eggs are ovulated. The rest go to waste with every menstrual cycle. Man produce millions of sperm cells in their lifetime. How else would you be if you had the right sperm cell and egg not been specifically chosen to meet at the specific time they met to make you? I mean not every egg and sperm will produce the same human and we see this in siblings with the same parents. You may share a DNA and have some similar features but you will never look the same. It had to be the work of someone who had a purpose specifically for you to ensure that you were created. The thought 'What does it mean to be chosen' came to my mind as I was doing my devotion and I bumped upon the verse John 15:16 "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fru...

You Don't Need A Reason

"It's over!" "This is not working." "I found someone else" "I don't love you anymore." Those are very painful and difficult words to hear from someone you love or have been in a relationship with. It can be comforting for you to at least get a reason to why something you thought was going so well has to end. Besides the fact that everything comes to an end, many people require a really good reason to end a relationship. If you need a reason, that is okay. But suppose that your significant other just can't give you a reason to why the relationship needs to end. There are various reasons why he/she claims that they don't have a reason. Here are some: Maybe there is a reason but they are too afraid to acknowledge it. They want to avoid confrontation. They care about you and really don't want to hurt. It really just wasn't meant to be. Any of these can be justified. Often people require a reason because they be...

Persitence

"Persistence can be charming." This story is quite a surprising one for me as well. The outcome was not what I expected it to be. Let me start from the beginning. In 2014, when I was packing my bags and setting my goals for 2015 I made a promise to myself. I was going to school to study and I wanted to focus on school. For anyone who has gone to college (university) or moved to a new place, you will know that it is impossible to not make friends. So on the very first day of orientation, I met very interesting people with whom I would share the craziest, most fun and annoying experiences. On my way from the dormitory to the orientation venue, I met my first friend, who was an introvert. In the classroom, we met a girl, who had a unique name and energy. I was already acquainted with my roommate because we had participated in the same pathfinder events in Pretoria. Later I met the girl whom everybody thought was my twin. I became really close to three of the gi...
