WHY YOU ARE THE WAY YOU ARE

Based the principles found in the bible, I wrote the following statement;

“You become what you believe. Change what you believe and you change what you become”.

Neither you nor I can act differently that what we believe deep inside of us. The bible calls that place of belief, the “heart”. If you want to behave differently you must change the source of your belief and that means you must change your heart.

Here is the problem we face: how do you change your heart? How can you be sure that you do not just change one defective set of beliefs for another? Or simply change one defective heart for another defective heart.

I realize that as a society we seem to have abandoned the notion that there is any moral truth at all. However, I believe the bible is a book about truth. The bible contains the truth about you. The bible is basically God’s story about what He intends to do with this world and with you in particular. God has a very specific plan for you. If you understand that plan and put that plan in your mind, you will be fulfilled, and satisfied. You must put what the bible says about you into your mind and into your heart ,so you can become what God has planned for you to become.

What a sad state of affairs to come to the end of life as we know it and finally realize we have been believing and behaving from a defective set of life principles.

There is an enormous amount of power in our mind, beliefs and thoughts. We would do well to be certain we have the right information in our mind.

Here are some amazing statements about the power that God has planted in your mind. They were written many years ago by a man named James Allen. He uses the term “man” to mean every person male or female.

“As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those which are deliberately executed”

“A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind”
“The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it loves, and also that which it fears.”

“Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.

“Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results. Bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results”.

“Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot. It rapidly crystallizes into habit”

Let me encourage you to take the time to examine what you believe and why you believe what you believe. The key to fulfillment is in your thoughts and beliefs. This is what I believe; it matters what you believe. Your success depends on it!
