Vision and Self Belief

Wow, so this 40-Day fast has been quite something so far right? For those that are in it of course.

Today I want to talk about something that is being very much emphasised during this period, vision and i'm not speaking about the ability to see lol but the kind of vision that comes with imagination.

As a child, I had a vivid imagination, I loved to draw, despite not actually having any kind of gift for it lol and making things from nothing has always been a joy of mine, although, again it never quite comes out the way I expect.

Regardless, when it comes to imagination, I have no shortage and once I get an idea into my mind, an image, I want to fulfil that even if I lack the skill needed to do so.

The mind is a very powerful thing isn't it? It has the ability to form a crystal clear image in your mind almost as if it was real, don't believe me? Close your eyes and imagine something you want to achieve in the future - the kind of house you would love to have, the kind of job you want, the family you want etc. Go on I will give you a moment to do so, just open your eyes when you are done ;).

Amazing right? But what about when that vision seems so impossible that you stop believing in it and yourself? What if the images your physical vision is feeding you begins to eat away at your dream? What then?

I recently and am still going through this exact situation. I have a dream, a vision, something in my mind then when I picture it, the picture is as clear as day, I can see myself there, almost as if it is a reality - but as of now it isn't. However this dream has one hiccup, I began looking at others who are already some what living the dream that I have - not exactly but in one way or another they are and before I knew it a feeling of disbelief in myself started to grow but why? I looked at them and saw I didn't have the skill they did so I began to think, if I don't have the skill they do, then what makes me think I can break through in this - and I know many of you will be like "you have God!' yes indeed I do but these individuals (I believe) have Him too!

I began scaling down my dream and without me realising it was dying. Not just my dream but it began affecting other areas of my life - I just didn't believe in my potential, I thought "no someone else can do a much better job than me" and that is probably true! But the thing is I'm doing that certain work or I am taking care of a certain part of a project and it isn't for no reason, it's because those who placed me there can see my potential to smash it lol. My self belief or lack of it began to affect my performance and I was not doing things as I could. I realised this but it wasn't until I spoke to someone that the spark to fight was lit and that's where I am today - ready to do the extraordinary to realise my dream or at least get it kick started lol.

And what's the point of this story?

Everyone has a vision, but unfortunately due to surrounding circumstances, maybe a hard situation they are going through right now, what they see with their physical vision etc. a cloud begins to surround that vision in their mind chocking until the point they can't see it anymore and it's suffocated and eventually dies.

Don't allow this vision of what you want in physical things but most importantly of YOURSELF die - but stand up and fight for it, no one said good things would come easy did they?

This 40-Day fast coupled with the Greatest of all Campaigns is an opportunity like you have never received before and maybe will never come again. You have everything you need to succeed with these two things in every single area of your life and in 40 Days (well less than that now) that is just over 1 month! Your life can do a 360 degree flip in every way possible that you may not even recognise yourself lol, however that is if you are willing to put the work in to make the picture in your head come alive before your very eyes.

I know I am and why? Because now I believe that picture in my head, regardless of my skill or whatever the boundary may be, that vision is MINE and ALL MINE and I can do it - well I will never know until I try, and not a half-hearted 'oh yh i tried' kind of try but until I give it everything I have got.

And you? What about your vision? Is it worth sweat, struggle, maybe even tears? If so, fight, otherwise you may just live the rest of your life regretting not fighting for that dream...

Until next time,

I am on the way to the extraordinary.
