While talking to a friend this morning about coming expectations of the future, it suddenly occurred to me that it may be a good time to remind others this week that the ultimate act of faith lies in the process of “Acting as if…”
When parents are expecting a baby to be born, they usually can be found preparing their home and life for the eventual arrival. So too is when we’re casting our vision and goals and dreams, it’s in our best interest to make the proper preparation mentally, physically and spiritually to accommodate the desired outcome. I am convinced that this is the ultimate sign of faith and belief that an event will occur.
Simply put, the rain will benefit the fields of those who are most prepared to receive it, guaranteed or your money back. Another way to look at it is when trying to survive on the island, the best show of faith and belief and commitment is to burn the boat. Your actions or inactions today will no doubt determine and dictate your results tomorrow.
So, my good word for you today and everyday here forward is to demonstrate the strength of your faith and belief by “Acting as if…” and if you commit to do this regularly, eventually you won’t have to “Act as if…”
Let’s all make this Monday so MAGNIFICENT that Sunday gets insanely jealous. Make it GREAT!
