THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE: WHAT DO YOU SEE?

 The quote for today’s devotional is:

“The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high, and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”

– Michelangelo

Devotional:

In the bible, in the book of Genesis chapter 15, verse 5, God told Abraham to look into the night sky and attempt to count the stars. This exercise was to help Abraham, who was now an old man trusting God for a baby, to see beyond the physical limitations of his body and environment. Something powerful happens when we visualize and capture what we want in life. Albert Einstein said “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions”.

In recent times, many people have engaged in the use of visualization tools like vision boards to help them keep in mind what they truly desire. Jack Canfield (author of Chicken Soup for the Soul) talks about a time when he desired a Hundred thousand Dollars in annual income, and he printed a hundred-dollar bill on a piece of paper, added some extra zeros, and attached it to his ceiling so that he would see this first thing in the morning and the last thing at night before sleeping. At the end of that year, he made 92,000 USD in income which was a big leap from his usual 8,000 USD annual income!

We can create a visual image with pictures or words describing our goals, and place these images where we can see them constantly like on our devices, our doors or walls at home/school, or in our vision journals (if you want more privacy). Seeing our vision constantly helps our mind start thinking about how to achieve what we want. Of course, achieving what we want does not stop here, but visualization is a great place to start.

 Here are a few reflective questions:

-          Have I clearly defined my goals?

-          What do I want to achieve in the next 3 months, in 1 key area of my life?

-          Can I find the images or words that describe that goal and place it on a vision board (either physical or electronic) that I can see at least 8 times each day?

Let us pray:

Dear God, I thank you because all things are possible to him who believes. Help me trust you as I implement the divine ideas you give me concerning the visions in my heart, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• Having a vision for my life will get me to where I am going.
• I can visualize my dream
• I am constantly moving towards my goals and dreams!

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
