Make it a habit of spending at least 15 minutes each day in complete quietness. Clear your mind and let thoughts and ideas flow. This is God’s way of communicating with you. Pay attention. He is trying to give you answers you need to lead life you know you are meant to live.

Seek, and ye shall find.

Once you get your answers from God, it is now your responsibility to seek out ways you can live your life’s purpose. Do research. Talk with people who know about your life’s purpose. Seek others who are presently doing what you will be doing. Research your purpose via Internet or Library. Go to bookstore. Believe it or not there is nothing new under sun. If you are interested in a subject, there are others interested in same subject and someone, somewhere has written a book on it. So seek, and ye shall find.

Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Once you realize your purpose, research it, study it until you know a lot regarding your subject, all you have to do is knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

You will be amazed at all opportunities that will start coming your way once you learn your purpose. Once you start wheels turning others will start materializing that will help to bring you to next level. The Universe will start to work in your favor.

Let me give you an idea of how this works. When I decided to write a book, it was simply a thought I had. The very next day after having this idea, I went on Internet and in my mailbox, there was an email on How to Write an Ebook. I hadn’t even looked up this information yet. It was simply there, in my mailbox, waiting for me to read it.

There are thousands of others examples I could give. It is truly amazing and God never ceases to amaze me.

ACTION POINT: This week, ask God to help you discover His plan for your life. Once you receive His answer, research your subject and keep your eyes open for all doors that will start to open.

Here’s key and action point for this week. Learn to develop your imagination. Let’s use our example, Dennis, to show how he would use his imagination to eliminate his doubts about himself.

•Step #1: Use your imagination to visualize yourself in position you want to be. While Dennis is on his security guard job, instead of watching television, he should close his eyes and imagine himself as a world-famous, #1 best-selling, author. Imagine he is touring world to promote his famous book. Imagine himself promoting his book on Oprah and having his book as a part of her book club. Imagine he is living lifestyle of a best selling author.

•Step #2: Pray. Dennis should pray and tell Lord that he wants to live his life using talents that Lord so thoughtfully given him. He should ask God to open his channels of creativity so that his creativity can flow and he will be able to write freely and be self-assured.

•Step #3: Give yourself positive affirmations, daily. Dennis should tell himself that he is a good writer. He should look in a mirror and say, “I am a Great writer. I am best. I am a best selling author.” He should say this as many times during day that he remembers to. Even if he doesn’t have a mirror to look into, he can still say it to himself until he starts to believe it.

•Step#4: Become aware of your thoughts. If Dennis finds himself saying that he is not a writer; that he’s dumb and can’t write a best seller, he must immediately stop himself and change his thinking. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

Your brain is constantly at work. It never stops. Even when you are asleep, your brain is still fully functioning. Become conscious of thoughts you have during day. If you find yourself thinking, “Oh, I could never do that.” “I’m always messing up.” “I’m not good enough.” “I’m not worthy.”

STOP IMMEDIATELY.

Change your thoughts to positive ones. “I could do that if I try hard enough.” “I never mess up. I simply have to practice more.” “I am good enough.” “I’m worthy.”

With practice, Dennis started changing way he thought. He started believing that he COULD be a writer and that he COULD write a best seller. He continuous prayed to God and followed his instincts and hunches. His creativity started flowing. While he was on his security guard job, he worked and worked and worked on his writing.

Today, he has finished his first book and has a publisher interested in it. It will only be a matter of time before he will be able to be that best-selling author he dreamed about.

If Dennis hadn’t decided to change way he thought, he would have spent his entire life working two low paying jobs that were neither rewarding or fulfilling. He would have never started living life God had planned for him.

What about you? What thoughts are you telling yourself? Change your negative thoughts to positive thoughts and you will change your life.
