Thinking
If you do not want an average life, you must be on guard against conclusions made by conventional thinking.
Look at all above average people and you will notice one common thread; unconventional thinking. To them the thinking is conventional, but to the average, the majority, their thinking is anything but conventional. You see, average people think alike. Average thinking is just get by, find a shortcut, get out of any extra work thinking. The above average thinker is anything but this type of thinking. To live an above average life, which people of purpose live, you will have to learn to think unconventionally. If you think like everyone else does, you will get what everyone else gets. That’s the pattern for average people. However, just by the fact that you are reading this tells me that you are not average. Continue to raise your level of thinking to raise your level of life. What is your level of thinking?

Thinking About It
What a person thinks is determined by how a person thinks.
Did you know you can limit your life by dwelling on the wrong things? So often, wrong thinking keeps people stuck right where they are. If you think you’ll never accomplish your dreams, those thoughts will hold you back. If you think you don’t have the talent, the connections or the funds, then you are limiting yourself. You are blocking what God can do in your life. It’s time to take the limits off and trust God. Just because you don’t see a way doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have a way. God can bring one opportunity across your path that will thrust you to a whole new level. If you’ll shift your focus from this earthly realm and start looking with your eyes of faith, you’ll see His unlimited possibilities for your future. Take the limits off by setting your thoughts on what God can do in your life! What are you thinking today?

Keep On Standing
If you’ve been standing for the promises in your life, I want you to know today that your time is coming!
The dreams and desires in your heart, the things you want to accomplish, the situations you want to see changed will happen. Don’t give up just because it has taken a long time, or just because you’ve tried and failed. I encourage you today — get your fire back! Don’t be complacent about pursuing what is in your heart. It may be taking a long time, but don’t give up. No matter how long it’s been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you’ll stay in faith, your time is coming. Every dream that’s in your heart, every promise that has taken root. Declare today, “My time is coming…I will fulfill my destiny…I will fulfill the plan for my life!” As you declare, expect, and wait for the appointed time, your faith will grow. Your hope will grow. And you’ll step into the destiny God has in store for you! Are you still standing today?

Wide Open Mouth
One way we “close our mouths” so to speak, is by choosing negative thoughts.
If you go around thinking, “Well, I don’t think I’ll ever meet my sales goals this year with the economy like it is”; or “I don’t think I’ll ever get promoted because I’m not that qualified”; or “I don’t think I’ll ever get well,” then the problem is that your mouth is barely open. Take the limits off your thinking, and believe for supernatural opportunities. Why don’t you go out each day expecting to win and be successful? If you’ll go out each day expecting far-and-beyond average, if you’ll “open wide your mouth,” you won’t be disappointed. Begin to not only think outside the box, but to throw the box away completely. Begin to see yourself the way that you really are. See yourself successful and making a difference in people’s lives. See yourself as a champion and a world changer. Is your mouth open wide today?

Your Declaration
When you make this declaration, “I can handle it,” that’s not just being positive.
You’re taking hold of strength. When you say it, you’re getting stronger. That’s why the we say, “Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ” If you’re always talking about the problem saying, “I can’t stand this job.” “This professor is so difficult. I’ll never pass his course.” “My friend didn’t make it. I don’t know what I’m going to do.” All that does is drain you. When you talk defeat, strength is leaving. Energy is leaving. Creativity is leaving. Don’t let those things overwhelm you. You are not a victim; you are a victor! No matter what comes your way, you can handle it! You are ready for it and equal to it. If you will stay in agreement with God, He will take what is meant for your harm and use it to your advantage. That difficulty won’t defeat you. It will take to a higher level. Learn to stay in a positive frame of mind. You are right where you are supposed to be at this moment. Use your talent to make a difference in others lives. What is your declaration today?

Thinking on Higher Things
Are you ready to live a more fulfilling, successful, purpose-filled life?
Then I want to teach you the importance of having a positive mindset and learn how to stay in control of your mind. You have to set your mind on higher things and keep it set. The higher things are the positive things. You see, you control the doorway of your mind. Yet many times, people live on autopilot, letting their thoughts just roam free. But if you want to become all you were created to be, you have to choose the right thoughts. It’s easy to let your mind go toward to negative. There is negativity all around you everyday. The key is to find the positive in every bad situation. This is what separates the champions from those that complain. Champions will find the positive and focus on it. I’m not saying that you ignore the negative, but you have to have the positive mindset and perspective. Take the high road by thinking on the higher things. Be a champion with a champion mindset. Are you thinking on positive things today?

Belief System
You must devote yourself to defeating limiting beliefs.
Did you know you can limit your life by thinking on the wrong things? So often, wrong thinking keeps people stuck right where they are. If you think you’ll never accomplish your dreams, then you’ll stay stuck where you are. If you think you don’t have the talent, the connections or the funds, then you are limiting yourself. We have to remember that God’s promises never return void. His Word stands true forever! Don’t limit what God can do in your life by focusing on what you see in the natural realm. You have to realize that you serve a supernatural God, and just because you don’t see a way doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have a way. God can bring one opportunity across your path that will thrust you to a whole new level. Take the limits off by setting your thoughts on what Almighty God can do in your life today! Are you defeating the limiting beliefs today?

What Are You Thinking
So many people today are depressed and discouraged simply because they only focus on their present circumstances.
They’re constantly dwelling on their problems, what they don’t have, and what’s wrong with them. They don’t realize it, but they’re allowing their circumstances to steal their hope. This negative frame of mind is what keeps people from moving forward in life. Understand today that faith is confidence and assurance about the things we hope for according to the promises of God. Like an arrow, your faith points to the target of hope. If you don’t have hope, that arrow of faith will just drop to the ground. It won’t accomplish anything. But when you keep your hopes up, when you keep expecting and believing, it’s as if that target gets larger and larger — easier to hit! Choose today to live with an attitude of expectancy. Get your hopes up! Start by taking captive any negative thoughts you may have one at a time. What are you focusing your thoughts on today?

Thinking Positive
It’s interesting that our mind will naturally gravitate toward the negative.
A study showed how positive and negative memories are handled by different parts of the brain. A negative memory takes up more space. There’s more to process. Because of this, we will remember the negative more than the positive. For example, a person will remember losing $50 more than they will remember gaining $50. Knowing this, we have to be proactive with our thoughts. When the negative memories come back to the movie screen of our mind, many people pull up a chair, get some popcorn and watch them all over again. No, the point is that’s not the only channel. There’s another movie playing on a channel that’s filled with your accomplishments and victories. Instead of staying on that negative channel, you’ve got to switch over to your winning channel. You’re not going to move forward into the new things in your life if you’re always replaying the negative things that have happened to you. Instead, learn to change the channel. Meditate on victory and move forward in the victory and blessing God has in store for you. Are you a negative or positive thinker?

What Do You Think
People tend to become what they think about themselves.
So often, people limit themselves in their thinking. They don’t think they’ll ever accomplish their dreams. They start thinking they don’t have the talent, the connections or the funds. They don’t think a marriage could ever be restored or they’ll ever get out of debt. That kind of thinking comes from looking at things in the natural. That’s a limited perspective. We have to realize that God is a supernatural God. Just because we don’t see a way doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have a way. God can bring one opportunity across your path that will thrust you to a new level. He has an awesome specific plan for your life. He can do what medical science can’t do in your health. Today, I encourage you to take the limits off your thinking. Trust that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf, and He will make a way out of no way. Remember, what you are facing may seem impossible with man, but when God puts His “super” on your “natural,” anything is possible. What do you believe about yourself today?
