“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7.
You are what you think. Your mindset affects the direction your life goes. If you think lack, you will continue to wallow in poverty. When you think you cannot achieve anything, you will remain the way you are. Nobody can help a person who has given up on himself. You can only make progress once your mentality and focus shifts.
“Think lack and you will experience lack. However, when you shift your focus to a more wholesome mindset, and move to discharge and give with action because duty calls, results follow naturally.” – Dzigbodi Kwaku Dooso. Once your mentality shifts, then you are ready to put in all your energy to make things work.
Being a Christian doesn't mean we shouldn’t work towards excellence. We walk by faith, but we must also be great thinkers. Again Christianity doesn’t mean mediocrity. Put your mind to work. Thinking is part of work. God will drop divine ideas in your mind when you make up your mind to progress. You must excel in the career you are in. Keep improving yourself to be the best in your field.
Never doubt your capabilities; you will never know what you are capable of doing until you try. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. The higher you go in life the more you need to learn. The world is evolving and changing, you must therefore think outside the box if you want to succeed and also be outstanding. The only person who can stop you from shinning is yourself.
