I don't care what your circumstances look like ntoday. I want to ask can you imgaine yourself nliving your dreams? I must tell that if you ncannot see it you will never live it.nnIf your goal is to lose weight you must see nyourself as the personyou wish to become.nIf your mission is to build a business to nbecome financially free you have to see nyourself out of debit.nnToday your whole world may be turned upside ndown and you don’t know which way to turn. nYou may have no idea of how you are going to nget through this test. nnIf you are not attentive at this point you ncan begin to feel like you can’t handle nthis storm. Then you can start to think nyou may not have what it takes to novercome the hardship. nnWhich can cause you to start to think why nshould I even try my situation is not going nto change. nnNow your temporary challenging situation nwill began to outweigh the promising nvision of your imagination.nnI can remember the vision I had several nyears ago of building a new home for my nfamily. I had a vivid image of the building nprocess from start to finish. In my mind I ncould see my family sitting in the living narea watching movies and enjoying our nnew home. nnI visualized us in the backyard enjoying na Saturday afternoon barbeque. I could nclearly see myself cooking dinner afternchurch on Sundays. nnBut how many of you know that you can nimagine yourself in a heavenly vision nonly to wake up in a hellish situation? nnI do, because as I was mentally enjoying nthe promising vision of my imagination a nsmall voice said wake up fool. Look at nyour situation, your wife has left you,nyou were evicted out of your apartment nand you are living with your mother and nfather. nnYou are an ex-crack cocaine addict, younare unemployed and your car has beennrepossessed. nnNot to mention you are over forty years nold no one is going to hire you at your nage. Your credit is tore up from the nfloor up and you are dead broke. nnI must admit that my situation looked ndiscouraging to say the least. And nmost it certainly gave the feeling of nbeing overwhelming which can lead to ndepression if you merely focus on nthe situation. n nIf I would have looked at my condition nsolely I would have been paralyzed and nremained in the depths of the hell ncreated by my negative thoughts. nnBut I thank God for the vision that nwas planted in my heart and I knew that nmy situation was a temporary one. Some nhow I knew if I kept believing and moving neventually I would reach my goal.nnI am not saying that you should entirely nignore your circumstances. Because you ncannot succeed by burying your head in nthe sand and hoping your adversity will nsimply go away. nnYou must analysis your state of affairs nto determine what went right, what wentnwrong and what role did you play in ncreating these circumstances. nnThen you can make the proper adjustments nand use your imagination to move towards nyour vision. nnLooking at other people’s situations ncan also hinder you from following nyour vision. If you are not careful you ncan become discouraged when everyone naround you are succeeding and prospering nwhile you are not. nnInstead of becoming discouraged you should nbecome inspired. Because if they can nsucceed and prosper so can you if you ncontinue to imagine yourself doing so nand take action.n nHere is another important thing to know, nyou can’t tell everybody about your vision.nThere will be some people who can’t see nwhat you see on the inside (your vision). nThey will only notice and talk about what nthey see on the outside (the situation).nnDo not be discouraged by these folks. nSimply find progressive, forward thinking npeople to fellowship with. nnAs a footnote I did build that new home nfor my family I mentioned earlier and ntoday I writing you from a million dollar ngated community.nnMy wife and I recently celebrated our nsixth wedding anniversary with dinner nin Dubai at the world’s only 7 star hotel. nnLive by imagination not by situation.nnYOU ARE JUST A STEP AWAY!
