Ten Things Worth Knowing.

 

1.   First Base.

• Denial, blame and resentment will cause you to live in a place of confusion and impotence.
• You cannot change you life for the better if you don’t understand the one you are living now.
• Acceptance of where you are now is the launching pad to where you want to go.
• Vision and hope for a better life will fuel and overcome the pain of change.

2.   Three Types of People.

• Those who don’t know what is happening.
• Those who look at what is happening.
• Those who make things happen… because they understand what is happening.
• So ... 'Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established'. Proverbs 16:3

3.  Reality.

• Your reality is governed by your perception.
• Your perception has been formed by your experiences.
• Your reality has been passed through your perception filter before you decide it's the truth..
• Your truth is only what seems truth to you.
• God’s truth is The Truth and is our benchmark for successful living..

4.   Your Experience.

• Reality trained by perception creates your experience of life.
• Real truth requires taking responsibility and bypassing your perception filter.
• Blaming others will never change your experience.
• Victory comes by embracing God’s truth about who you are and who He is..
• A bad start in life was not your choice but a better future can be.

     
5.   Action.

• Knowledge fuels the desire for change.
• Knowledge by itself is useless.
• Change requires your action.
• Dreams only become reality when knowledge is harnessed to action.
• Fearing to instigate action will leave you standing at the door of your destiny.

6.   Damage Control.

• We are all a work in progress.
• We will never be fully operational on our own resources.
• We manage life with good decisions... there is no life cure.
• Expectations for yourself will govern what you have or don’t have.
• Successful outcomes are the rewards for staying in the plan of good decisions

7.   Do Unto Others.

• How we treat others teaches them how to treat us.
• Show respect you will get respect in return.
• Show anger you will get anger in return.
• React to an offence and you will gratify the offender and get more.
• Show grace to an offence and you will make a way for peace.
• Show love and you will receive love in return.

8.   Forgiveness Is A Life Style.

• Forgiving puts you in a position of leadership.
• It is impossible to live a peaceful life with a chip on your shoulder.
• Unforgiveness is a dark room where negatives are developed.
• Forgiveness sets you free from the control of the offence of others.
• Forgiving opens the doors to reconciliation.

9.   You Are Valuable.

• Separate the ‘who’ from the ‘do’.
• You are not what you do, good or bad.
• Value is who you are you don’t have to earn it John 3:16.
• Purpose is important but it is not who you are.

10.  The Main Thing.

• Good relationships are not your source of life but are the expression of it.
• Your capabilities are a gift, not your source or reason for purpose.
• Acceptance should not have to be earned as it is given.
• Your fulfilment will only be completely satisfied when you the created are connected with the Creator and understand why He created you.
• What is seen is only temporary... this life is a temporary experience.
• What is unseen is eternal, we are spiritual beings with an eternal journey to experience.
• Eternal life was designed to contain your destiny, purpose, acceptance and mostly love.
• Fulfilment of this starts from the day you are reconciled with your Father in heaven.
• Jesus Christ is the only way we have been given for us to reach The Father.
