BELIEVE!

BELIEVE!
By Tommy Franks

What do we believe? Who do we believe? Why believe? Most of us believe in mountains. We believe in valleys. We have had a few in our own lives. Do we believe that we can actually move them? The Master Teacher, Jesus Christ, believed that faith could move mountains! He told us that we, too, could move mountains…if we had faith…even as a mustard seed.

We all want to believe…in something! We want to believe in ourselves and others. We truly desire to be successful in life. Guess what? We can be. I am not talking about “wishful thinking”. I am talking about the “I CAN” attitude. I am talking about “putting some grease to the elbow”…actually doing something. Believing that we can “do it” brings loads of energy and the power needed to accomplish the task.

Once, we truly believe that “it can be done”, success begins to build… perhaps, small at first, but eventually tons of success materializes. As we continue to think positively, positive things happen to us. Believing activates the mind with creativity. Creativity inspires. Creativity invents. Creativity finds a way. Creativity imagines. Creativity has a vision.

People who believe that they can move mountains, do. Those who do not believe that they can move mountains, do not! Belief activates! Non-belief deactivates and nullifies! Belief is creative power. Creative power brings success. Belief in success is essential to being successful. If we think something will not work, it won’t. If we think it will work, it normally does. Why? Because a positive thought initiates a positive response. A positive belief is positive power. Doubt is negative power. Our minds accentuate what we think. If we think doubt, failure, weakness, and lack, our minds accommodate that belief. If we think success and triumph, success is imminent.

Our minds are continually thinking. If we think success, our mind will do everything in its power to bring about success. Think failure and failure will come. Believe in yourself. Believe that God actually wants you to be successful. Do not put yourself down. Believe BIG. Listen to this: We are who we think we are. The size of our success is determined by the size of our belief. Think little and receive little. Think BIG and receive BIG! It requires the same amount of energy and resources to think little as it does to think BIG! The decision is ours!
