Are you tapping into your higher power?

I have always felt that there was a guiding force actively working in my life that was constantly aligning my thoughts and actions towards accomplishing my personal and professional goals. I will acknowledge that guiding force as God. I believe that all of my life’s experiences and everyone that I have ever connected with has left some impression on me. It could have been a good experience or a bad one; either way I learned something from it. When I was growing up the concept was referred to as the Power of Positive Thinking coined by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. My pastor, Lee Stokes, also refers to this power and often shares his insights. I remember Pastor Lee comparing the creation story to how we should create visions of success in our lives. He said that in the beginning God said, it was {or came into being}, then God saw it and said it was good.

As we define those things in our lives that are important to us and are aligned with the Word of God, we need to follow the same principles in our lives as we are created by God in His own image and are heirs to the throne. We should speak things into our lives that are purposed to bring us greatness and success as well as inspire others. Our faith should be strong enough to step back and let the universe bring our desires to pass. And then we will see, and it will be good.

Before I close, I feel like I need to say that you can’t control another person’s life or their actions. You’re only responsible for you. So don’t create situations that will manipulate others into doing what you think they should do. Focus on yourself and your life and you may be surprised to find that those who are supposed to be with you will stay while those who have served their purpose will fade away.
