A Matter of Perspective

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.” Paul J. Meyer

 

Perception is the way we see things. Our perception becomes our reality. Only one’s perception may not be real (reality).

 

To have a more objective perception, mentally walk around the object (idea, concept. belief) for a better viewpoint. I like to turn things around to get a different slant.  So…

 

“If you cannot imagine it, you cannot achieve it.” Mona Dunkin

 

The rephrasing is not intended to be negative but a call for a reality check. What have you dreamed that you have dismissed as not feasible?

 

How many wonderful creative things have you imagined and then became your own sensor? The very fact that the idea came to you in the first place is evidence of your ability of carrying it to fruition. We are capable of doing things we never thought we could do. The fact that we thought of it is evidence enough that we can do it or we never woulda thunk it.

 

It is that simple. And that complex. 

 

Everything is created twice; first in the mind and then in reality. 

 

For deeper clarity, I also like to rephrase statements as a question, and/or use similar words. As in, “Are you telling me that if I can mentally picture it, I can also bring it into being? Are you saying that, I can actually create it?”

 

Yes. Yes. Yes.

 

So the idea is ambiguous. Or you are too-o-o-o-o busy to even think about it.  Ideas are words. Apostle James encourages us to be a doer of the idea (word), not merely a hearer of the idea.

 

We deceive ourselves into thinking the problem is a lack of time. Wrong. It is not so much about how busy you are but how much you believe in your dreams. It is about investing your time into growing and developing needed skills. It is about letting go of fears and insecurities.

 

Incidentally, I am writing to me as much or more than I am to you.  Let us encourage one another and utilize our gifting to create the dreams that we were created to dream
