How To Take Charge of Your Life
The only person you are destined to become is
the person you decide to be - Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is surprising how a lot of people have outsourced everything about their
lives to someone else or some occasion or thing. They fail to realize that they
are the ones responsible for the way events in their lives turn.
The way your life is today is as a result of your thoughts over the years. No
wonder Romans 12:1 tells us to
"Do not conform to
the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his
good, pleasing and perfect will." (NIV)
And
that is all you need to change your life. To change your life, you must
transform your mind. The challenge for many is that they do not know how to
transform their mind.
And again, that same verse tells us to renew our mind by the word if God. The
amplified version puts it in a more understanding form;
"And do not be conformed to this world
[any longer with its superficial values and customs], but
be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature
spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical
attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is,
that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for
you]." (Amp.)
So how
do you take charge of your life? Start by renewing your mind. Change the way
you think and the way you feel because they are always in alignment.
Another way to take charge of your life is to decide to be a giver and a
blesser today. You see, the blessing is always to the one that gives. And I'm
not talking just about giving money. Give your money. Give your time. Share
your knowledge. This way you live a thousand times more.
One thing always happens when you are the giver; you stop being the needy. You
transit from the one that needs help to the one that provide help. That is why
the bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is our ever present help in
times of need. That is what happens when you are the one providing the
help.
The third way is to live decisively. Don't live your day by accident. Don't be
among the people that allow life to happen to them. You must be decisive
starting today. If you make this a part of your life and live like that daily,
you will be amaze how much prosperity you will experience; prosperity that
comes with peace.
Decide where you want to work, what kind of company that is. Don't live like
the masses, separate yourself from the masses. It is hard to see the shadow
when you walk in light. What kind of life do you want to actually live? A kind
of life that will enable you to live on your own terms - and that is a
successful life.
Living a successful life has nothing to do with the amount of money or wealth
you possess. It has to do with how much joy you have and that comes from living
life the way you want. You are the architects of your life, so design it the way
you want.
Let's run through what we've learnt today:
1. Renew your mind by the word of God
You must understand that the word of God doesn't work itself if you do not put
it to work; the word of God is for doing. Do all you've read here and see how
much success you will experience in your life from today.
