As I write to you today, I am coming off of a very busy week. I have a lot of commitments and priorities right now. Thankfully, I have learned to prioritize my life and I have been able to make lots of progress. I hope you are having a great third quarter and accomplishing your goals. It has been a very busy time for me. I am making a lot of decisions about my life and the future of my business. I have been speaking with mentors, close advisors and even clients that I have worked with in the past. While not everyone is thrilled about the transition of my life in this season, most people are understanding and they have provided me with so much wisdom. You need to surround yourself with people that will tell you the truth, empower you with tactics and help you formulate your transition strategy. This is a vital key to your success in life.
Do you believe that you were made to live a big life? Or have you allowed doubt and unbelief to steal your faith? What do you believe? As I stated earlier, I am in a season of transition in my life. I’m grateful for Jamelle Sanders International. I am thankful for the brand that I have been able to build over the years. At the same time, I am perceptive enough to know when it is time to shift and make adjustments in my life. I know without a doubt that I was made to live a big life. It is not just a cute cliche that I say. It is a powerful discovery that I made years ago. I discovered that my life was bigger than my circumstance or experience. Essentially, God is choreographing everything in our lives to bring us into our callings. Your calling is the thing that you have been destined to do. One of the most powerful truths you can ever discover is that you cannot stay small. Staying small is wasting your potential and squandering the seed of greatness on the inside of you. You have to believe that you were made for more. The more that you desire will require you to cultivate an uncommon belief system. Low thinking will never result in high living. Your thoughts form the foundation for your triumph or defeat.
Honestly, I believe that at one time or another we have all allowed doubt and unbelief to steal our faith. We get consumed with our circumstance or crushed by the contradictions in our lives. I want to help you with something for a moment. Every major accomplishment in my life has been met with adversity. In fact, the conditions in my life have never been favorable but I have not allowed it to change the context of my faith. I have made a quality decision to not be moved by my emotions or my experiences. You have to be so rooted in a belief that no resistance has the ability to rock your world. That which is not solidified in you will be shaken. More importantly, what you are not anchored in will be aborted. Doubt and unbelief ultimately want to shipwreck your faith and make you forfeit your prophetic future. You must silence the lies of the enemy if you want to live the life of your dreams. Stop vacillating and start contending for your vision. Let the vision of your future become so big that it silences the voice of fear in your life.
Everything in my life changed when I had the audacity to address my belief system. I have written a number of books over the years. However, if you follow my work, you know that every single book I have written has addressed the mind. Why have I spent so much time dealing with the mind? The mind is the battlefield. It is the place of warfare and it determines our victory. I’ve spent a lifetime developing my mind. I speak with people all the time that say they want to be victorious. However, as I examine the thoughts they think and words they speak, I know that many of these individuals will never be successful. Too many people are looking for shortcuts to success. However, you have to be willing to do the work. Renewing the mind is not a one time process. Renewing the mind is a daily discipline that you must develop to live an uncommon life. So instead of dwelling on everything that is going wrong in your life you need to start addressing your thoughts. Examine the fundamental beliefs and values that shape your life. Examination of your thoughts will always determine the extent of your triumph. Unless you are willing to study what you believe you will never see breakthrough in your life. You cannot build your life on philosophies. You can only build your life on pillars. Pillars are always shaped by your paradigm.
In closing, I could write an entire book around this very subject. The mind is a subject that has always fascinated me. That fascination has produced a whole series of books and earned me respect as a thought leader around the world. I know the power of the mind and I have learned how to unleash it. It is time for you to stop living on the fence and starting living a life of faith. It is unacceptable to go through life not knowing what you believe. In essence, when you cannot articulate what you believe it is a good indication that you do not really know what you believe. When you do not know what you believe you give the world permission to program you. It is time for you to develop your mind and be anchored in the truths that will govern your life. Dare to believe!
