I have learned that the more I dwell in improving myself, the more I see myself having access to resources that help me gain additional knowledge in my areas of interest.
Its actually mind boggling! I may be browsing in the internet for a totally different objective when an article pops up on an unexpected topic that grabs my fancy. You may be surprised that the article somehow is on an area that is important to my growth journey! I will be listening to the radio and somehow an ongoing discussion there brings up another aspect of knowledge that I require in my improvement journey! I look for a book to read or buy and decide on a random interesting topic and somehow it all ties down to my goals.
This brings to mind what the bible says in Romans 8:28 ‘that we know that all things work together for good to them that love God , to them who are called according to his purpose.’ So our minds, our desires and circumstances work together to bring to pass what we set as goals!
I believe that when we consciously take a decision to do anything, our mind and everything within and without focuses on making sure that we achieve this. Most times, we tend to ignore the signals or we procrastinate on the actions we need to take and after sometime give up. I continuously remind myself that nothing is impossible and at times when i do not have a clear picture of a solution, i tend to allow fear to creep in bringing in doubts and sense of inadequacy within.
What do i do when these doubts come in? I take the first step…I ask questions, I remind myself that there is a solution somewhere and finally, I tell myself that I am capable, I am resourceful and that the solution can be found!
It all boils down to having a mindset that says ‘it is possible”, also, acknowledging the fear but allowing it to move you to start looking for solutions rather than allowing it to paralyze you into doing nothing.
