If we are completely honest, completely transparent, then we would agree that the above topic is much needed. If you are ready to get out of your own way and embark on a prosperous journey, if you are tired of making matters worse for yourself, doing the same thing only to get the same results. If you are ready for something different, something new. Surely, this message is for you.
You are reading the right magazine, the right article, at the right time. Get yourself to a quiet place, where it’s just ‘you’. Some place where you can think and think clearly. Some place where you can be receptive to receive what’s being given to you through wise words. Some place where you no one or nothing will be in your way. And whatever you do, do not allow anything to hold you back.
Les Brown ~ “What you hold back from life, life holds back from you’.
This could not be a better statement for the message that’s being delivered. So often, we are not only in our own way. We hold back from life and hinder ourselves from what life truly has offer. Let’s talk about it in a real way. (The Past). Our past is meant to do one thing- teach us something. There is a lesson in ‘our past’. We are supposed to learn from our mistakes and move forward. Sadly, we get so caught up in the pain and trauma of life. We fail too not only forgive but heal from (The Pain) of our past. By not healing, we get into our own way. Decide today to face your past and heal from the pain. This is the first start of getting out of your own way.
It would be nice to (High Five) five people after reading the above quote. However, it’s just you and the magazine. So, give yourself a high- five. Rev Ike could not have said it better.
It’s definitely true. We only get what we give ourselves. We better make sure we are giving ourselves the right things.
For example, if we put negative talk in our spirit. Surround ourselves with negative talk, think negatively, then negative will be the results. It is mind blowing how we expect to positive results from negative thinking. We can’t paint the wall brown and expect it to be pink. The same way we speak things into existence, is the same way we think things into existence.
The start of getting out of our own way, starts with how we guard and steward over our thoughts. We must by all minds learn the importance of protecting the mind. We have to change our mindset. We can’t have polluted thinking and expect to have a pure mind. We can’t have polluted thinking and expect to have clarity in our vision. Our thoughts will create our reality.
It’s not just the power of words, but the gravity of our thoughts that can change our lives.
Get Out Of Your Own Way Pastor Steven Furtick gives 6 mindsets to apply to your life. Application truly matters.
These 6 mindsets have made a major difference inside of my life. They are all great, number 4 has become my favorite. Today, I challenge you to meditate on these 6 mindsets given by Pastor Steven Furtick. Watch how it changes the dynamics of your life.
Here are the mindsets:
1. I’m not stuck unless I stop.
2. Christ is in me, l am enough.
3. With God there’s always a way and by faith I will find it.
4. God is not against me, but he’s in it with me, working through me, fighting for me.
5. My joy is my job.
6. God has given me everything I need for the season I am in.
The truth is, in order for us to get out of our own way we must change the way we think.
Our mindset can help us get out of our own way. Our inner dialogue matters most because it’s what we are telling ourselves.
The above 6 mindsets are just a start to healthy thinking. You can find your own, it’s your choice.
Nevertheless, I encourage you to try these. These have made a major difference for me, and I pray it does
the same for you. Let’s get out of our own way because it starts with us.
