You want to be a success in what you do. This may be to be successful in your occupation, in your walk with Jesus, in your marriage, in your classroom studies, or whatever area of life it may be. You struggle with achieving that particular goal for yourself in life.
To be a success in life really comes down to a basic principle that most people do not either know or use in their life very much. That Christian pillar and author, A. W. Tozer, said it succinctly when he said, “What we think about when we are free to think about what we will—that is what we are or soon will become.” The mind is an extremely powerful part of your body. There is much medical proof to support Tozer’s statement. Basically, the person you are today is the result of the thinking you have about yourself. The more you think and actually visualize yourself doing something, that is the person you soon will become.
Before you make a rash statement and disregard what is stated, the Holy Bible supports this premise. The Wisdom Literature affirms what was just stated, “For as he thinks within himself, so he is” (Prov. 23:7). Thus, this verse states that what a person thinks about is actually the kind of person that he/she actually becomes.
This is not positive thinking, which states that whatever you think about you can make become reality. What is being stated here is that the person you see yourself as in your mind is the person that you are or that you will soon become.
Your key to a success to become the person of God that you know that you should be is to think about that person as much as possible throughout your day. A little hint to help you is to visualize yourself being the person of God you so much desire to be. Start today!
