An emotional response to a situation is the single greatest barrier to power, a mistake that will cost you a lot more than any temporary satisfaction you might gain by expressing your feelings.
Think about what you want your future to look like, clearly, and start filtering every decision:
"Will it get you closer to this vision or not?"
Cut ruthlessly. Say "No."
Spend time on the things that build your future.
You get this one life. Limit distractions.
Most people don't have the patience to absorb their minds in the fine points and minutiae that are intrinsically part of their work.
They are in a hurry to create effects and make a splash; they think in large brush strokes.
Their work inevitably reveals their lack of attention to detail - it doesn't connect deeply with the public, and it feels flimsy.
In our culture we tend to equate thinking and intellectual powers with success and achievement.
In many ways, however, it is an emotional quality that separates those who master a field from the many who simply work at a job.
Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers.
Feeling motivated and energized, we can overcome almost anything.
Feeling bored and restless, our minds shut off and we become increasingly passive.
All your emotions may say, “Be disappointed. Live in self-pity. Give up on your dreams." No, come back to that place of peace, that place of trust. God is ordering your steps. He is the author of your story. He has planned your days for good and not for harm.
"Until death, all defeat is psychological." - Marcus Aurelius
Refuse everything that would lead most people to give up.
Refuse it.
Rise from the dead 1000 times.
Commit to never stay down & never give up.
Everything you want is on the other side of struggle.
We wouldn’t know His power if we were never thrown into a fire. You wouldn’t know He was a healer if you never faced an illness. You wouldn’t know He could move mountains if you never faced a big obstacle. Quit complaining about what you’re up against; it’s not a surprise to God.
The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement. Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.
