It's Not You Against The World!
It's not you against the world!The battle is within our own minds, not against the world. The world is fighting its own demons. Surely, there are people who will resist your attempts to break free, but that is because they are fighting their own internal battles. They don't want to see you become successful because they know they don't have the courage to fight for themselves. Don't be angry with them, they really can't help themselves and they don't know any better. Pray for them and that they become as enlightened as you are. I share that with you because you may think that you should expect the help of your close friends and relatives. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
What's even worse is that many times, your friends and relatives aren't acting out of spite or a desire to see you fail, they are acting out of ignorance. They think they are protecting you. How many times have you been told "Don't get your hopes up too high"' You were told that so that you would not be hurt if your expectations didn't happen. I say, get your hopes as high as you dare to dream. Dream big. Dream bigger than anyone you know, and then dream even bigger. Do you know that if you can dream it and believe it, you can achieve it' I know you can. You will find that the only real battle in the war to take back control of your life is the battle against your own belief systems. The rest of the world doesn't matter once you master your own thoughts and feelings.
The battlefield is your mind. Joyce Meyer wrote a fantastic book called "The Battlefield of the Mind". It is one of the most significantly profound books that I have ever read. In it, she delves into just how the mind can be manipulated by negative forces that deceive us into thinking that we are not the spectacularly extraordinary individuals that we are. That is why the world is filled with "average" people. We even pride ourselves on being "average". How many times have you heard someone say proudly "I'm just an average guy, I'm not all that special." I've said it myself with much pious reverence. That is one of the most bogus statements that can ever be made. The sad truth is that if we believe that it is true for us.
We were never created to be "average". Each one of us has such extraordinary gifts that if we ever got the full revelation of it all, we'd be completely stunned. The truth of it all would be overwhelming. I assure you, you my dear friend are so completely unique and wonderful that the whole world should stand up and applaud your presence. We should all stop and point and say, "Look, isn't that that special person' Wow, it is them!" We should all pause and stare and marvel and your completely fantastic uniqueness. You are a true marvel of creation. You are not meant to be average. I believe that and I pray that you do too. Once you get that revelation, you will begin to see and value your life differently. You will begin to live your life as if it were golden. In fact it really is and even much more than that
