Your Fulfillment Prophesy

Guest Blogger Kona Naoma Willie

Our lives are complicated. We have jobs, homes, family, friends, hopes, and dreams and goals. With so many challenges in life, it is easy to let fear intimidate you from even trying in the first place. Although there are strong-willed people who see failure as a chance to try again, there are some who struggle with failure and see it as a sign to quit. Those who belong to the former group predict success and are therefore successful. There are a few things that can get in the way of success: fear, confidence, the past, and our own predictions of life's outcomes.

Fear

It is said that fear is "false evidence appearing real".  Fear tells us that we can't do anything. With fear motivating us, personal success is not an option. It is possible to be afraid of your own success. When fear begins to get in the way of your success, remind yourself that the fear is false. There is nothing to be afraid of and you are a successful, strong woman who deserves everything that you work for.

Confidence

Fear is not the only thing that can get in the way of your success. You may lack the confidence it takes to try in the first place. Confidence is the backbone of a successful life. If you lack the confidence to try in the first place, remember that the worst thing that can happen is that you may need to try again. Trying is half the battle and the first step to success. Put on your armor for war and prepare for the battle. Only those who are fully prepared will conquer!

The Past

Letting go of the past is difficult. Past failures can mitigate the potential for true success in life, so let them go. Practice forgiving yourself for past failures, and see them as tests to tell the world your testimonies. We all fail and we all fall short. Paul in the bible was a murderer who was on the hunt to kill all of God's children. The Lord appeared to him in a shining light. He was instantly blinded and fell off his horse. From that fall Paul's life was transformed and he was given another set of eyes to discover the good in himself and the destiny that God had laid out for him before his birth. It was Paul's past that made his testimony remarkable!

Predicting Success

The final step to being successful in predicting success. You have control over your success. If you see success in your future, you will work to prove yourself right. Life's challenges can trip us up only if we let them. Start every morning with the statement, "I can because I say so". Maintain this mantra and repeat it every time you are feeling like a failure. Constantly remind yourself that are in control of your success and your success depends on what you tell yourself and what you believe.

A self-fulfilling prophecy can either bring success or failure. Your mind can do great things in terms of achievement and success. Often, self-fulfilling prophecies are negative. If you tell yourself you can't do something, well then there you go.

Remember that the Bible declares that "life and death lie in the power of the tongue" You will not be successful if you see every challenge as a failure for you even before you try. We need to feel successful and confident because it is with each success that we receive the motivation to reach further goals. If you want to be successful, you must speak. What are you speaking for yourself today. Is it life or death? Negativity or Possibilities?  Success or Failure? God has given you the power, it is your choice to activate it!
