Speak IT!
Wanted to share this from a Cindy Trimm article.
When a ship sets sail to cross the sea,
the pilot plots out the course. Then he determines the times he will need to
adjust the direction of the ship to follow the course he has set. He checks his
calculations from time to time to ensure he is always headed in the right
direction, and then he keeps the steering as steady as possible heading towards
his predetermined destination.
Certainly along the way he may have to adjust
the helm to go around storms, navigate currents, or avoid obstacles in the
water, but he always steers with his focus more on where he is going than
what he is going through. If he constantly changes the steering from one
minute to the next fixated on his present circumstances, the ship is more
likely to go in circles than it is to arrive at the desired port of call.
For the pilot, the course is created
first in his thoughts, communicated through the rudder, and then realized as
the rest of the ship lines up with his intent. For us, our lives only arrive at
our desired goals if we line up our thoughts, words, habits, and actions in a
similar way.
You must take the time to carefully
consider your course. Where are you heading? What will it look like when you
get there? Let your imagination take over. Spend time daydreaming about where
you want to be in life. Read about it. Study that place. Write about it in your
journal. Draw it. Paint it. Let your mind run free with the possibilities of
what you could attain.
Even in the midst of what looks like
catastrophe, keep speaking the blessing, keep the ship of your life on a steady
course, and before you know it the storm clouds will clear and you will have
broken through your difficulty and left it far behind you.
