In our minds eye we have a picture of what will be, what we can achieve. Where we think our abilities will take us, what we think we are capable in our lives. Who we can and can’t be in this world, we have an idea that restricts us instead of encouraging us.
So by having the thoughts you have as to what you can achieve do you understand that that is the very thing that restricts you from becoming more. I have this approach in life ‘if he can, I can’ I used to be passionate about maybe being wealthy, you know the posh house, nice car holiday home ect.
Life is not like that anymore, I have changed. My life has changed, I now realise the one thing that makes us happy, and it’s not money or things. It’s contentment, it’s peace, it’s the planet, the creation God has made all around me that matters. The smile on my wife’s face when the dog does something funny. The warmth in my heart that comes from knowing that no matter what happens God loves us.
I so have not been happy having to have this horrendous fight, but the fight has given me many things. It’s shown me the value of life, not things. It’s given me friendships. It’s given me a new perspective on life, people and what truly matters in this life we live. Only we have learnt to dislike people, only we have learnt that different races are different things. Our parents and the news taught us that, I personally think we all bleed the same colour and it matters not what their religious beliefs are.
What ever you see in your mind will be, at the start of my fight with cancer I believed I would win, and I did win. I won because I believed it and so many other people believed it around the world, which is why they prayed.
YOU can be what ever you want to be in this world, it’s you that will or won’t realise your dream. But don’t ever forget what’s really important, family, creation and the very people that care about you every day. We came into this world with nothing and will leave with nothing. That’s a fact. I leave you with this last thought.
It does not matter what you do after someone is gone, what truly matters is what you do in their life. What you say is worthless without a physical out working of what you say.

How we use our mind is without doubt how we fail or how we achieve.

This is beautifully said. And you are so wise to say that it doesn’t matter what you say after a person is gone. I just lost an acquantance who I knew for a fact lived in a terrible marriage with a man who treated her with disdain because she was sick and the thought she could do more with her life. She could not. When she had her stroke he began to purge her things from their home. Then she got worse and he realized he might lose her and so he began to care and it was too late-she was in a coma. He cries now and I hope it makes him feel better and I hope his wife knows now that she is gone that he loved her but does it matter after all that misery? I dont’ know, I don’t judge….its an observation.
What is the Facebook page you mention? I’d love to check it out.

Thank you for these wise words. I am happy to learn that you have fought, conquered and won your battles. I believe in pursuing our dreams and aspirations but we should never lose sight of the fact that our true riches in life is the relationship we have with God and our relationships with family and friends.
I popped over to thank you for following my blog. I wish you God’s grace, peace and divine health in the matchless name of Jesus.
