Live Deliberately

You can be what you want to be: all you need is the right knowledge, wisdom and attitude. If you decide what you want and go for it, you will get it. A lot of times what people call their dream are actually wishful thinking. This is so because they’ve never put ‘this dream’ to work. I tell you: live deliberately- decide how, where and what you want to do.
I’ve got news for you: Hoping that things will fall into place is not enough; you are the one to make things fall into place for you. This is a vital truth you must understand. For some people, this is good news- it offers them the opportunity to make things happen. But to some others- it isn’t; they are too scared to make things happen and so they freak out. Where do you stand?
Decide what you want. Do things that you know can help you achieve your dreams. Define what you want, find the price and pay it. Every result has a how, find it and go to work. Life is too short (even if you lived to be 150) to cross your legs and wait for things to happen. It’s high time you made things happen in your life. Many fail because of their thinking: when you think wrong, your life goes wrong. Don’t think you can’t do what you ought to do. Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. (Phil 4:8TLB).
In whatever you want to do, ask yourself about what results you’ll want to achieve with it. Live consciously. Many make decision rashly; they think rashly and act rashly. They go out for the day without a plan, and then they wonder why they didn’t achieve anything worthwhile that day. But why should they? They got what you planned for: nothing. Don’t act that way: not only should you decide and plan what you want, put your plan to work.
