I learned some words of great wisdom this morning watching Joel Osteen. I have only watched his Sunday morning sermon a few times and just happened across it today. Or did I really just happen to come across it? His message was clear:
If your vision is negative you will move in a negative direction.
If your vision is positive you will move in a positive direction.
That's it, it's as easy as that.
We need to visualize ourselves happy, healthy, thin, out of debt, on the right track to retirement, in a healthy relationship, married, pregnant, beautiful... whatever it is that you are depressed or negative about, change how you are looking at yourself.
Small vision=small life. Look through the eyes of faith and BELIEVE. See yourself blessed. Enlarge your vision, do it with God. "Don't let your vision be limited by your environment!"
He gave an example about a picture frame, he told a lady to take an empty picture fame and look at it everyday. He told her to visualize herself in that frame as how she wants to see herself. Who she wants to be. She wanted to be married and in a happy relationship. A couple years later she came to one of his sermons and introduced him to her new husband! She had a vision and with faith she reached that vision.
I have decided to change my vision! I sometimes get caught up in "the negative" and don't even realize it, so no more! I'm getting out that empty frame and everyday I will see a beautiful, skinny, happy, healthy, loved girl who has more blessings than she could ever count! Thanks Joel....:) I needed that!
