Have you been stuck in circumstances going around the same mountain expecting change and to no avail ?
Well , I was stuck going around the same mountains , and for years , expecting things to change without doing anything different .
There ’ s a quote that says : “ Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results .” ~ Albert Einstein
Back then , whatever was going on in my life , I tried to solve it with the knowledge I had at the time . I used to argue , I used to say what came to my mind , and didn ’ t care what I said , not knowing the importance of my words , that our words frame our world . I did what I thought was right .
Years later , I read the book called How to Avoid Tragedy and Live a Better Life by Charles Capps . What an eye opener ! When I received the book , I had no idea what it was going to be about , but it was required reading from the Rhema Correspondence Bible course I was taking . Before that , I had never heard of the book , or would even think of looking for it . This book is what started the transformation in my life . As I was reading it , things began coming to my mind of what I was saying and why things happened to me in my life the way they did . It gave me a much deeper revelation of the words that we speak impact our lives .
As a result of reading the book , I began changing my words around in my head before speaking them out . For instance , I used to say to children “ don ’ t touch that ” and switched it to “ leave that .” I concluded that children continue to touch things based on the words they are hearing , in this case with “ don ’ t touch that ” the last words are “ touch that .” So even though you are telling them not to touch it , they still end up touching things .
This was huge for me . As I began to change my words , my life started turning around for the better .
However , it really started with having a proper relationship with my savior . Like I mentioned , I was living life on my terms , doing what I thought were right and on my own terms , which really wasn ’ t right , I had made a mess of my life . When I learned I can seek first the kingdom of God and all things will be added to me , I understood that I ’ m no longer alone .
Now , I seek God first , wait for His leading , then act upon what I ’ m led to do . I even began writing books and was led to create Victorious Living Culture , a victorious living movement where stuck is no longer my story .
It is wonderful to not do things on my own anymore . It gives me peace and much more joy and happiness . If you are someone that is unaware that you are doing things on your own , I encourage you to do an analysis to determine that and if it is the case , to do something different to not do things on your own anymore as we have so much help in the Most High . Is it always this easy , no , but I ’ m no longer doing things on my own , or my way .
There is always hope because victorious living , it ’ s possible !
