Behold the Power of Positivity and Change

Let's be honest, being positive in the world we currently live in can be downright hard; but that's why it is such an important part of the strategy to reach our goals.  To me, being able to remain positive in the face of adversity echos a sense of faith, being able to see the end goal versus the current situation and be happy about it.  Don't get me wrong, being positive is about as easy as putting on Spanx by yourself, but if you can remain focused on your goal and allow that to shine through the results will amaze you.

While trolling through Facebook this morning I came upon this image that really put some things into perspective for me.  Not too many years ago, my habits more closely resembled the characteristics on the right; and just like it says, I was broke.  Over the last few years my habits have changed, not overnight and in some ways very subtly, but today I can say that they more closely identify with the characteristics on the left.  Does this mean I am a millionaire?  Not yet, but I'm working on it!

I John 4:18 says "perfect love expels all fear".  The characteristics on the right tend to all come from a place of fear, and when you are in fear you are not in faith.  The characteristics on the left all come from a place of faith; ideas and actions that may not have any immediate result, but are seeds for the future.  

See, sometimes you can actually receive encouragement and inspiration from Facebook :)  Until next time, if you are drowning in debt and praying for change, try changing one small habit to see what impact it will have on your future.  Zechariah 4:10 says "Do not despise these humble beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin."  God is faithful and He rewards those who have enough faith to step out and make a positive change.

Happy Friday everyone!!!
