How many time have you heard someone exclaim “That’s Unbelievable!”? My guess is more than a few. And yet when we take a look at the situation that they are describing, it’s really not that unbelievable at all. What we often see in these instances is a disciplined individual that has accomplished something amazing through dedication, hard work, and strength of mind. The particular situation is unbelievable to us as we would never prioritize the requisite tasks high enough to accomplish the achievement. Yet when we break it down, we see that it’s not really hard to believe at all. Rather, it’s simply a case of discipline and dedication to that person’s vision of the future. That someone has just taught us a huge lesson and given us a wonderful gift that is right there for the taking…
So the next time you utter “That’s Unbelievable!” Ask yourself this — Is it that the situation/action is unbelievable or is it that believing it forces you to face your own self-limiting behaviors?
With that in mind:
Do you believe enough to change the way you behave?
As always, thanks for the time.
Right on, Curt! Sometimes when I sit down to write a sermon, my mind is my own worst enemy. Just need to pray for guidance, clear my mind, and think!!! Then it all comes together.
