\"\"<\/a>The Size of Your Success<\/span><\/strong>
\n Is Determined by the Size of your Belief<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJesus said to him, \u2018If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.\u2019 \u201d<\/span><\/strong>
\n Mark 9 : 23 NKJV<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are only limited by your own ability to use your mind.<\/strong> The human mind in the one thing that the Creator, God Almighty, has given man over which he can determine and exercise complete and full control. The brain is the Command and Control Center (CCC) for each and every person who has ever lived on the earth.<\/strong> The Creator of the Universe has chosen to give his finest creation, mankind, the exclusive use of this most incredible gift. Sadly man, in general, uses but only a very small portion of his mental capability. Some clinical studies by qualified medical personnel estimate that man uses less than 10 % of what God has given him to use. How sad is that? What type or kind of person would so under-use such a glorious and capable tool?<\/span><\/p>\n

Opportunity abounds all around us. Great things, needs, and blessings are just laying right there in front of us today, but for a little creative thought and effort to possess and use them. Lazy or unmotivated people will never reach the great heights that they have the capability to reach unless and until they begin to recognize and use their mighty spiritual gift that God has given them. Oh the human brain,….what a magnificent thing it truly is.<\/span><\/p>\n

The brain is the connecting link between man and his Creator, God. Thoughtful and persistent personal prayer is the tool of choice for those dear folks who truly do want to stay in close communication with the Being who actually created them. Correct reasoning quickly establishes the fact that in order to come to know what God\u2019s will for one\u2019s life really is, one must be and stay in good and regular communication with his Creator. Such an activity can best occur through the medium of personal prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n

God really does answer prayer. Sadly, and all too often, we don\u2019t always listen to Him.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is an old saying that says: \u201cGod cannot steer a parked car.\u201d<\/strong> This saying is, in fact, true. It is applicable to all of mankind. Unless one\u2019s car (their vehicle of choice) is in forward motion and being used for it\u2019s designed purpose, then little, if any, good use can or will be made of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

All dreams for any person initially come to that person from their Creator, God. It was God\u2019s dream before He gave it to you! God always matches up His chosen dream with His chosen dreamer….You have been pre-selected by your Creator for a specific and magnificent divine purpose. God must be first asked to give you His purpose and dream, before you can even begin to discover it. Success is not an accident. It is a planned event. Success is defined by successful people as the progressive realization of a worthwhile dream.<\/strong> Dreams, of course, always are initiated and directed through a person\u2019s brain, i.e. their own CCC.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Now just stop and think for a moment, seriously contemplate what you personally might be able to do with your life,…if you would only develop and begin to use just a little bit more of the estimated other 90% of your God-given, under-utilized brain. What do think might be able to occur if you would just increase the use of your brain to,…say 20%…Just double the use of your own brain, from what you have been using it to do.<\/strong> I will be so bold as to tell you a Truth of Life. A 10% Change equals 300% Results!<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to change things very much to magnify and begin receiving great new results in your life!<\/span><\/p>\n

Make little changes in your thinking and you will create huge changes in your life.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have ever driven in a vehicle across America and in particular across the barren and desolate Great Plains of the Midwest, then you surely know how little population and people activity exists in this geography. Where you are has no limiting factor as to how great and powerful your God is and your brain is. Never allow surrounding circumstances, geography, or society to limit your own success…..just believe in who you are and what you are doing….Really believe!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a great story to be told about a young, energetic, and ambitious couple who, over eighty years ago, had a mighty dream and through the application of their personal faith, belief, and efforts turned their dream into a great and profitable reality. Permit me to share the story with you….<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1931, Ted and Dorothy Hustead decided to move to a small town in mid America that had in it, four things: a good school, a Catholic Church, a doctor, and an opportunity. Their personal dream was that they wanted to open their own business,… their own pharmacy. This couple eventually chose the isolated small town of Wall, South Dakota, as the perfect location. To most other people, however, Wall seemed to be in the middle of nowhere–somewhere between the Black Hills and the Badlands.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the dream is big enough,…the facts don\u2019t count.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The first year of their operations was a tough one– thick dust, intense heat, and strong winds. In their desire to move on to a more welcoming place, tired, throat-parched travelers rarely stopped in Wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Ted and Dorothy came up with an idea. They made an attractive sign that read: FREE ICE WATER AT WALL DRUGSTORE. The sign soon became something of a novelty. This couple made more road signs and put them up farther and farther from Wall–eventually, as far away as Europe, Korea, India, and even the North Pole!<\/span><\/p>\n

All druggists, of course, made \u201cfree\u201d ice water available for their customers. But nobody else had thought to advertise the luxury.<\/span> Eventually some 4,000 to 6,000 customers a day stopped at Wall Drugstore as they passed through barren South Dakota.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now let us examine what really happens to you when you decide to step out and up,…away from the crowd,…away from the masses of society. What really happens to you when you choose to go your own separate way in life? When you step away from the crowd and begin marching to the beat of your drum (owning and operating your own business or becoming your own man or woman without interference from others) a great and glorious new stream of spiritual strength and power begins coursing through you heart and mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you actually take a step toward your dream, you open yourself to creative ideas and solutions. Taking that big step gives you hope and optimism, which are essential elements for all human creativity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember, you must be plugged into The Source if you want to draw strength from it…Things must first happen inside your own mind…in the unseen spiritual realm before they can materialize before your eyes in the seen physical realm.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you really do want to succeed, reach the top, and\/or discover your divine purpose for your life, what you must do is rather simple. May I suggest you begin immediately….DREAM BIG, STEP BIG, AND DO BIG THINGS<\/strong> with your life. The secret is that you really must believe that you can do it. I certainly hope you do, because,…\u201call things are possible to him who believes!\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
