This statement is so powerful and people dont understand that what they think of themselves is what they are. They wonder why they are struggling in life and they like to think its external situations and yet its what they think or speak in their lives.
In life you dont get what you deserve instead you get what you are. Your external world is the reflection of your internal world. As the man thinks, so is he. If you are living a stressful life or life that doesn’t make you happy, look within yourself and track the steps you made yesterday, last month, last year, and previous years. The beauty about life is that you can change any season in your life with just making a decision to move away from what led you to the life you dont like today. Few weeks ago I was coaching someone and she said she wants to study but she is scared that she will fail after paying so much money for the qualification. This is a good example of someone who sees a failure in herself before she even starts anything. That is why her life is failing or stagnant because she is always thinking the worst as a result she doesn’t even try.
No one can defeat you in anything but you. How you perceive yourself is exactly what will show in your reality because your thoughts create a projection or reality of your life. Don’t be your own worst enemy of progress because of what you think of yourself. You are powerful more than you can ever think. it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person. Change your thoughts and words and change your life.
