As we approach a brand new year, I
first extend Happy New Year greetings to you.
Many times when we go into a New Year,
some people can have mixed emotions about what the New Year will bring. Depending on how the last year ended,
sometimes determines how a person goes into a New Year. I want to encourage you on developing a “winning
mindset” for 2013, no matter what happened in 2012.
Our mind is like the steering
wheel of the car; in the sense that it controls the direction of where we are
going. If your mind turns you to the
left, then your body and emotions will follow suit, just like the steering
wheel in a car. In order to prepare you
mindset to “win” and “overcome,” you must have an understanding about the
subconscious part of you.
The subconscious mind is where
your memory is housed. It controls approximately
86% of your behavior and how you react and respond to life. It is like being on auto pilot in an
airplane. Let me give you an
example: you can drive to and from work
every day while putting on make-up, talking on the phone, eating, listening to
the radio, etc. You can get home
automatically because you know where you live, so you do not have to think to
get there.
However, if you were to go
somewhere for the first time; you would get off the phone, turn off the radio
and pay close attention to the directions because you are going somewhere you
have never been before. Well that is
what you will have to do in order to prepare for a “winning mindset” in
2013. You are about to go somewhere that
you never been before and it will take your focus to get there.
1) You
must identify your beliefs that are negative, fearful and limiting you. I always say that you can’t confront what you
don’t first identify. Your subconscious
mind will automatically react and have you going in the direction that you are
accustomed to; however you must pay attention to the thoughts that are playing
in your mind. Pay attention to how you
respond to your circumstances and pay attention to what is coming out of your
mouth.
2) Confront
and challenge yourself to get beyond what you are feeling. You need to ask yourself, “Why do I feel like
this?” “Why does this get to me?” “Where
did this come from?” What is really going on in me? If you do not begin to confront yourself, you
will always repeat the same patterns.
You cannot go in a different direction in life, if you continue to do
the same as before. So many times,
people want change but they are not willing to pay the price for change.
3) Make
declarations over your life to develop a “winning mentality” for 2013. In order to change your subconscious, you
must feed it new information. Making winning,
faith, and overcoming declarations will begin to fuel your new journey in
2013. Do not just do it once or twice a
week; but do it until you feel change. Confess
it until you begin to see results in how you respond to the circumstances in
life. Many times we start stuff but are not
persistent, so we do not see the desired results.
I challenge you to change the
level of your thinking as we go into this New Year. God has things with your name on it waiting
for you to get into the right position and posture to receive what He has
already promised you.
