FAITH AS A TOOL FOR EXCELLENCE-
The world says “seeing is believing” but we come from a place where “believing is seeing.”
We know that what you behold continually, you become eventually. Thankfully, through the week we’ve seen the importance of setting models of excellence before our eyes and how our lives can translate to that reality.
This time around, don’t just picture other people’s excellent lives. Put a picture of YOUR excellent life before your eyes and BELIEVE it.
Simply put, faith is believing. It is the complete trust and confidence in someone or something.
The place of faith in building an excellent life cannot be overemphasized.
There are 3 levels of faith we must exhibit in order to build a culture of excellence:
– Faith in yourself: if you don’t believe that you deserve an excellent life, you won’t build it. Believing in yourself is viewing your life as a project worth investing in. Not believing in yourself means you don’t have the self-respect enough to hold yourself to the highest standards and if you can’t do yourself that favor, best believe others won’t either.
Sell yourself short and people are bound to price you cheaper!
– Faith in your pursuit: there will definitely come hard days when you don’t even feel like getting off your bed. On such days, if you don’t believe in your pursuit, it’s very easy to give up.
If you’ve found your path and you’re gradually building, believe that what you’re doing is what you ought to be doing and push yourself beyond your perceived limits.
– Faith in God: if you’re going to build an excellent life, you must believe that the one who created you didn’t make a mistake. If God was so intentional about your design, then you ought to be intentional in partnering with Him to build an excellent life.
Faith is a powerful tool in building an excellent life, don’t neglect it!
Believe!!!
