Life is good when all is going well. It's a great day when we get the children off to school without pandemonium, the dog doesn't jump over the fence at the last minute, and the parking spot we targeted is ours without having to do battle.
With a deep breath a silent hope is made that all remains well until someone speaks a harsh word or the job we thought was ours went to someone else.
How easily we let the spontaneity of life control our moods, and how quickly we allow our emotions indicate whether we're having a good day or not. But not everyone lives on the edge of their emotions.
Instead of sinking into self-pity or letting their anger rise, they summon higher thoughts that allow for all things to remain forever possible and somehow manage to turn difficulties and disappointments into great opportunities.
"Oh if we could all do that!" one might exclaim with great admiration. But the truth is that we all can! These are not extraordinary people. They are just like you and me.
High minded thinking is within the grasp of everyone. It's a blend of perpetual thankfulness, a creative mind, and a heart of bold faith through all circumstances good or bad and no matter how difficult.
However, without a vision there is a lack of power and little motivation for thankfulness when things go wrong. But as we begin to design our lives with purpose the way God had intended, change within us brings strong motivation to have what we say and a deep thankfulness that we have achieved our dreams before we can even see evidence.
Living daily above the circumstances of life leads to a perpetual gratitude that doesn't recognize failure or allow it to steal the success of our days or our lives. The outcome is a single-minded and focused belief that we possess the ultimate control over life to receive great blessings and fulfillment.
How do you create your vision?
It's no mystery. It's within you, waiting like buried treasure to be discovered. In the still quiet times of your day or night find a few minutes of peaceful relaxation. Practice letting go of all worry and daily concerns while concentrating upon what gives you the greatest joy, excitement, motivation or passion.
Don't be in a hurry or try to force the answer. Just go about your day excited that you know. Then one day the vision becomes clear and your path of achievement begins. As you find yourself in the right place at the right time, suddenly barriers to your goals begin to lift and your days become filled with child-like expectation and exuberance. At this point you will easily flow within the brilliant process of creative thinking to design the work and the life you desire.
This is when your heart is ultimately free and empowered to overcome the limitations of negative emotions. This is when you are free to love, laugh, and enjoy your life to the fullest extent.
