Train your mind to see opportunities.

 

I was thinking about the Disciple Peter and how he and all the disciples came from simple beginnings and how all of them completely changed their minds… Yes Jesus changed  their lives, but he also helped them change their minds. They all had negative and unhealthy beginnings to some degree and they could have all stayed in that rut of being who they though they were… but God was able to radically change them and also their futures.

 

The I headed off to the gym. My goal at the gym is to build relationships and then tell people about Jesus. A work out is second… trust me there are days I don’t work out at the gym, but I do get to share Christ… and its worth it. So I have been working on 2 men from Trinidad, who are Muslim. We have become friends even though we drastically differ on most beliefs. However today we were talking about why they moved to the States. The one man who is 37 said “I wanted to make a better life for myself”. I asked him what he thought about people who say they are being held back because of color of skin, or limited opportunities etc… (and yes these brothers are black). He laughed and said it is just a matter of seeing opportunities and not road blocks. He then said when he and his brother came over they started working for a moving company simply to learn about how to run a moving company. In 2 years they saved all their money and bought their own truck. They now own 4 trucks, and are looking at buying 2 more. Now here is the crazy thing… he left Trinidad and had a job as an engineer… but he said there were no opportunities. He said he looked, but truly they were all limited. 

So now he and his brother are starting 2 more businesses. he said its simple, you just work, save up your money, learn about the business and start small… saving all your money and putting it back into the business.

 

I know we often think that people don’t change. I know I have met enough people that make you truly wonder “can anybody truly change?”

 

But it made my come up with a simple list of how to change.

First you must change your mindset. How? By what you choose to focus on. If I said every time you see something red you owe me a dollar… it would drive you crazy… if I said every time you see red I owe YOU a dollar, it would make you joyous and delighted every time you saw red. What changed? Just the fact that you saw one as a problem and another as an opportunity. 

 

Phil. 4:7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think on these things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.…

 

But catch the whole meaning… peace will guard your hearts when you focus on the right things… and learn from others what to focus on. 

 

 

Second, take chances, Risk it, learn to use your faith. Now I am not talking about random stupid choices. But rather choices built on Gods word and by the measure of faith he has given you. The more you use your faith (whether things turn out good or bad) The more it grows, matures… leans out you might say. 

 

Number 3

Cut off negative people. you may have to walk away from family, friends, co workers… and more. But if they are not encouraging you, building you up, increasing your faith… you need to step away… maybe not forever but until you have the mental tenacity to stay focused, positive and believe in yourself regardless of who says otherwise! 

 

Lisa Nichols… one of the highest paid motivational speakers in the world… had to do this. It was hard, but necessary in order to achieve her dreams in record time. 

 

Finally, Revel in failure. 

I have stories of how many times I have failed in business, relationships, ideas, heck even in the gym I have stories of failing… But I have learned to revel and enjoy them because I know I have grown from all of them. Every time someone cuts me down and makes fun of me failing I say thank you for the motivation and I would love for you to tell me the last time you failed…. typically silence. Because they have never tried, or they have failed and buried it…or they lie and make it sound like they have never failed. 

 

People don’t succeed simply because they get tired of failing. 

 

Here is the dirty little secret… I am going to tell you the straight up truth. If you really truly want to be successful it is always this easy to understand: Ready? 

Success is simply a numbers game. 

the more you try, the more you fail until you succeed. 

You want bigger successes? Then fail bigger faster. 

Thats not only true in the physical world but also the spiritual one as well. 

 

Train your brain to take the pain and grab the gain! 

 

Gymshark sold for 1.5 billion dollars… it was started by a young punk kid who started it as a teenager…at 28 walked away with 1.5 billion dollars… guess what? He had 9 jobs at the time and one was a pizza delivery guy. he owned the other 8 and they were all just meh…

He failed numerous times and then one day BOOM.
