In the BEGINNING, God CREATED the heavens and the earth.
Now, we are not going to focus on religion, rather we are going to employ the opening statement as a stepping stone, with the takeaway being everything starts at some point; even the universe as we know it was once never there. Before it existed in its physical form, it began as an IDEA, which was then PURPOSED into existence by God. My primary focus is not the genesis of creation; rather I will shine a light on life, specifically the second conception.
There are two stages to life— first conception is when you’re born and the second conception is when you’re old enough to DECIDE what sort of person you’re going to be, the kind of life you’re going to lead, and the name you’re going to make for yourself. It’s worth noting, you have no control over the first conception, no one has. You never ask to be born, you have no choice over what race, ethnic background, or culture you’re going to belong to but you have a say in who you can be. The person you decide to be begins in your mind, as an idea, when you think and visualize it. Just as life starts but twice, so does creation, with the first stage being a mental creation followed by the physical creation. Unlike life, with creation, you have control over both stages. Your mental creation is made up of ideas of who or what you want to accomplish before you move on to the physical creation. Who would build a house without first consulting with a blueprint? So you can only build yourself based on an idea of how you see yourself. You have to start working on that blueprint first.
Why is this subject worth considering? Well it’s so sad how many people drift through life aimlessly just living a script they don’t enjoy, subject to other people’s dreams and they feel so powerless. Some never realize they too were endowed with the power to be anything they think to be and a few who are cognizant of this truth are so scared to explore it because they find it easier to live other people’s plans, dreams, and visions. Most fail to plan because they’re scared to fail so they never begin at all. True, we are unmatched in power compared to God, we cannot will a universe to exist but the power to create is within us all; being made in the likeness of God, we can dream anything to existence. It all starts with an IDEA. Scientists and artists are among the few who constantly prove this truth by breathing life into various ideas, some even unimaginable.
Gentle reader, it is my hope that by the time you arrive at the last full-stop, you will be moved to act, having acquired sufficient motivation, you will thus be readily equipped to BEGIN working towards the most important project— yourself. As it has been said countless times before, you can be anything; it all starts with a belief and an idea. Ask yourself:
Who do I want to be?
What do I hope to achieve?
When do I plan on achieving it?
How do I achieve it?
It’s all mindwork!
It’s time to work on you. Formulate an idea and fix your mind on the development of a plan. Do not just aim to improve your circumstance but aim to improve yourself. Personal development is a subject that has been talked about intensely by many motivational speakers and it’s a project worth pursuing. Only you can improve your condition, you have the materials you need, you are the materials you need. You can tailor-make yourself into anything, any form, any shape, or any size, so you don’t end up a fit in someone else’s wardrobe, living dreams of others, or watching others live theirs on tv.
