WHO TOLD YOU, YOU CAN’T DO IT? YOU!
This question answers one strong deception that has kept many people of great potential bound from fulfilling destiny: nobody bewitched them, as most will claim — they themselves have become the very enemy of their own lives.
The enemy is in the mirror
They consciously and unconsciously bring themselves into bondage — never going forward in life — either for fear of the unknown, or for lack of faith in their unique personality with all its possibilities to attain greater heights. Some have given up on life itself: walking around with no future ambition, blaming everybody possible for their lack of productivity.
The lies we tell ourselves
It is a lie we usually tell ourselves when we say: “I can’t; it’s too difficult; I don’t have time; I will, I will — when the time comes, I will; God’s time is the best; I don’t have a helper” — and so on. All such sayings can never bring anyone to reality and maximize potential.
It is easiest to deal with people who tell us we can’t, for whatever reason — we want to prove them wrong. But when we ourselves speak to our own hearts what we have concluded as fact, it paralyzes us from taking the next step toward the fulfillment of factual possibilities.
This is a mind thing
You must know that this is a mind thing — and there is no excuse for failure in life, for failure does not truly exist. Everything you do is success: you either succeed at making it, or you lose it. If you want to make it — yes, you can! — and nothing can stop you but you.
What you conclude is what you will realize. If you conclude in your mind that it is not possible, it becomes your belief, and you will surely realize it as fact. But it is a deceptive fact — for someone else will manifest the opposite as proof of factual reality. It does not matter how many people or circumstances work against you: they cannot succeed except you allow them to.
Challenge the challenger
The big deal is knowledge of the truth. When you seek and know the truth about every matter, you will always come to positive success without denial.
What do you think? Can you let go of those who wronged you in times past — or would wrong you today — seventy times seven? Yes, you can! I wish you would say that to yourself out loud: “Yes, I can!” I trust you feel more positive just saying the truth to yourself. Learn to do that every time you face a challenge — challenge the challenger with “Yes, I can overcome you again!”
Winners face battles to win them
Being a winner all the time is your true identity. If not, why do you face challenges? Answer: to win through to the next level that life brings.
It started when you were a babe: you overcame so many challenges — trying to walk, to talk, to understand your teachers. You won them all, even when you were very weak and lacking better understanding. How much more now, where you are today? You can deal with one more. And every time you face a difficult situation that life brings and ascend to the next level, you fulfill destiny — destiny that has so long awaited to fill you with joy, even unspeakable joy, at every success you gain as you stand to fight the fight of life’s battles.
Confession must move its feet
Never again in your life speak such negative lies that people tell themselves — because you have all it takes to fulfill your destiny on earth. Say “Yes, I Can,” and take practical steps that prove your confession of truth. As the Bible rightly says, “Show me your faith by your works” (James 2:18) — and again, confession without anything practical is dead (James 2:26).
I trust that from now on, you will always stand out with a “Yes I Can” mentality every time you face new challenges, at any time possible. God bless your new phase of unusual possibilities as you fulfill destiny!
