Identifying Your Vision 5
I warmly welcome you to Leading Right, this beautiful Friday morning. My name is Abiodun Fijabi.
This morning, we wrap up our discussion on how to discover your vision. Attitude – positive attitude – may just be what you need to lead you to your vision. The best way to start is to believe you are a creation of value. You will be doing yourself a great disservice to think less of yourself than God thinks of you. He says you have been fearfully and wonderfully made and I think you should believe that. He says he has given gifts to all men and I do not think you should have any problem with that. He says he is with you always and I do not know why you should feel deserted, neglected, left behind in this world of great opportunities and possibilities.
A positive attitude will do you a lot of good in your search for your ultimate purpose in life. Your mind is the battlefield of your life. If you win in this battle, you will win in the ultimate war of living your life to the fullest.
So, put on your positive attitude today and discover just what you have been created for.
Now, for some of my listeners this may not be as easy as it seems. You probably have been holding a negative attitude for a long long time. Now, you just cannot see this changing. That in itself is a wrong attitude. A better attitude is change may be difficult, but not impossible. In fact, history has proved over and over that change is possible. You can change and so is the man next door. And that virtually on any area of your life.
Let me try and offer some help on how you can set about changing your attitude. Someone has said you may never be able to change unless you are able to associate strong pain with your attitude. Say, you have been thinking little about yourself. Now, consider what that pain that has caused you over the years. Top of which is your failure to discover your ultimate vision in life. Now, is this the kind of life you wish to continue to live? Imagine how life would possibly end if you did not change. Can you already feel the pain of watching on the sideline as others make giant strides and bring hope to the society?
Then, go to work on your attitude. Set yourself a two week period of continuous positive thinking. Call it a fast of old habit, if you like. Be determined within this period not to succumb to the old thinking. Punish yourself if you do. Anytime you hold a wrong thought for more than thirty seconds, start the two-week fast afresh. If that is not punitive enough, deny yourself of the next meal or anything you really like. Do this until you reinforce new positive attitudes and be sure to stay with the new habits for as long as you live. It is your life, live it.
