You Get What You Believe You Deserve

You are such a good person, always trying the best you can to live a moral and righteous life. Never intentionally hurting anyone and making great efforts to be your neighbours keeper.

And yet, many a time, you wonder why the good things of life you feel you deserve do not come your way.

You see others that you think you are better off than hitting it well on life but you, things don't go the same way for you and you wonder why?

Well the truth of the matter is - you are not going to get anything out of life that you don't really believe you deserve.

Now, this belief is not the one that you mouth - it is the one that you FERVENTLY hold and daily ruminate in it.

It is not enough in life to live morally and ethically. You must also be mentally straight.

You must have a positive self-image in order to receive the blessings of life!

I am often asked the question, "Why Do The Righteous Suffer?" In other words, "Why do seemingly good people suffer?"

You can be morally and ethically straight and correct, but if you do not know how to positively relate to your emotions and the processes of your mind, you will suffer.

So, it isn't enough just to be a good person. You must have a proper self-identity. You must fervently believe that you deserve God's goodness.

So "Why do good people suffer?" Because they don't believe that they deserve God's goodness.

They ask for God's goodness in their prayers, but down deep, they don't believe they deserve it.

If you don't believe you deserve God's goodness, what do you believe then?

At the subconscious level are you believing you deserve the opposite of good?

Maybe that is why you aren't getting the good you desire.

A Fearful Mind Will Always Draw Suffering

As we all know, corona virus is on a rampage all over the World right now and many a man has become afraid of going out to public places and crowded places.

That is the sensible thing to do right?

Yea right

However, 2 days ago I met a man - in his 70s who said he was not afraid of the virus because he knows that God will not allow him to be infected since he is a child of God.

So I asked him, if he would willingly allow himself to be put in close contact with a person who is confirmed corona virus patient and he replied that he would do no such thing because he does not want to tempt God.

I put it to him that he was exhibiting fear of contracting the virus.

Those of us who are Christians and very conversant with the story of Job would remember that God was very proud of Job because he was a man after His very Own Heart and thus God allowed satan to tempt Job.

And thus in one fell swoop - just in one day, all that Job laboured for all his life went with the flaming fire - Job's children were taken away, his health was taken away, and his wealth was taken away.

Why did all these things happen to Job, a righteous man?

I ask you, was Job really righteous (meaning right thinking) or was he simply religious?

When Job got the news of the vanishing of his earthly possessions he declared, "The thing I greatly feared has come upon me." (Job 3:25) And that is exactly what got Job - "The thing he feared."

Just like some of you, you don't know why you feel so bad. But you go around afraid of what might happen; filled with worry and anxieties, you go around with your feelings dragging in the dirt.

So, like I said last time, it isn't enough to be moral and ethical

You must have the correct self-awareness. You must know yourself and learn how to control your thoughts and feelings. This is what I mean by 'righteous'. You must be mentally straight! You have to learn how to lift up your feelings - how to lift up your emotions. Learn to control your own thoughts and feelings and beliefs about yourself.

You have to learn to go inside of yourself and develop a positive self-image and positive self-esteem.

Nothing Can Come To You Unless You Draw It

Many times, things happen to good religious people and people who think they are righteous, and they don't understand why.

They say, "Now why would this person do me out of this?

Why do these 'things' happen to me?"

If somebody is always doing you out of something, watch out. It means that somewhere in your subconscious psychology, there is some kind of negative belief.

It could be the belief that you are not deserving. Nothing can come to you unless you believe you deserve it, and nothing can go from you unless you believe you don't deserve it.

You are not going to get anything that you don't really believe you deserve

And if you do appear to get something that you really don't think you deserve - you think it's too good for you - don't worry, it will slip away.

Somebody else will come along and take it off your hands.

So it is very important that you think you deserve the best.

You Are A Child Of God

Your belief about yourself should be based upon your knowledge of who and what you are in God, and who and what God is in you.

You deserve the best because you are a child of God.

Do This One Thing If You Desire Success

We all, irrespective of our gender or creed or tribe or tongue desire to be successful in whatever we do however we know that there is a big difference between a desire to get something or be something  and actually getting or being that thing.

Whatever desire we have, if it is not backed up with an actionable plan would certainly remain in the realm of desire and cannot be actualized.

And so to achieve our desire and make it a success, we have to put action into the works.

The challenge, therefore, lies in putting action to the works to enable us to achieve our desire and this is because the default setting of our mindset is that of being comfortable even in failure. Our mindsets are stewed and garnished in negativity.

It is the fear mentality that breeds the negativity in us - the fear of failure which suspends us in mid-air when we want to try out something new, the fear of what people will say if we fail, the fear of the embarrassment of failure, the fear of getting marked for life - this fear is very palpable and stops us in our tracks when we want to launch out thus making us dilly dally and procrastinate.

So the bad news is that negativity is an enemy of success - infact it kills success

And here some facts to prove that negativity kills success

1.     Negativity suppresses your prefrontal cortex,

which is critical for creativity, decision-making and seeing solutions rather than just problems.

2.     Negativity creates chronic stress, which causes inflammation throughout the body and can lead to disease.

When you are battling health problems, it's hard to focus on anything, let alone the pursuit of success.

3.     Negativity can make you a toxic person. A toxic person is a pessimist and is never a good company any day except in the company of other pessimists

4.     Negativity rubs off even on your mode of dressing, the way you talk and even the way you walk.

This will surely make people avoid you like the bubonic plague

5.     Negativity keeps you secluded in your own World. And as you know, no man is an island.

So, if you earnestly desire success, there's just one thing to do - kill negativity and take a quantum jump over to positivity

By so doing, you would  make it possible for you to succeed.

In the next post, I shall let you know the actions to take in the positivity arena that would take you to your success.
