“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” – Romans 12:2
Pursuing your dreams and goals is a lifelong, ongoing process. It is the understanding that life doesn’t give you what you want, instead, it gives you what you are. What you are is simply how your mind is programmed. The programming of your mind is reflected by your behaviour which produces the results you have.
Think of a programme in your mind as a seed. If a pumpkin seed has been planted in your mind, that’s what will grow in your world. Once you clearly understand this formula, your life will change. Most people are busy complaining about the results they are producing and blame it on outside circumstances. They are just wasting time because the source of your results is the seed that is planted in your mind. I am deliberately saying ‘that is planted’ not ‘that you planted’ because it may be that someone else planted it for you.
This continual renewal of your mind is about reprogramming your mind on an ongoing basis to what you want to see in terms of your results. You cannot produce mealies or green beans if a pumpkin seed was planted in your mind. This article has been written as a reminder for you to know that you can reprogramme your own mind to what you want to produce – yes, you can plant your own seed. The critical question you should be asking yourself right now is “What results do I want to produce?” Once this question is answered, go out and look for the seed that will produce those results. You are God’s special gift to the world, shine brighter.
