A
thought by John C. Maxwell (2015-10-06) from his book, Intentional Living: Choosing a Life That Matters (p. 227). Center
Street. Kindle Edition. (Click on the title of the book to go to
Amazon.com to buy the book.)
Again, here
is the word anticipation and also the word doors.
John says,
“’Doors?’ you may be asking. ‘Don’t you mean door?’ No. Expecting there to be
only one door is scarcity thinking. Let me explain how anticipation begins and
grows in your life.”
This is very
good so read on what John says, “There is a door of opportunity before you.
Maybe you see it; maybe you don’t. But it is there. If you have positive
anticipation, you assume it’s there, and you make the effort to find it, and if
you are diligent in that effort, you will find it. But know this. It may be
locked, and it may require a lot of effort for you to unlock it and walk
through it. Are you willing to give it a try? Do you believe you can? Some
people will try and some people won’t. I hope you’re someone who’s willing.” I hope so too.
He goes on,
“So let’s say you are willing. You do have positive anticipation, which, by the
way, is a choice, because we don’t know what will be behind that door. If you
walk through that door, do you know what you will find? More doors. There is
not one door of opportunity. There is not one door to significance. There is a
series of doors. What keeps you moving forward, unlocking those doors?
Anticipation!”
He
continues, “Finding and going through one door is an event. Going through many
doors is a lifestyle. That requires an abundance mindset. Every time you open
another door, your anticipation gets stronger and is validated. Over time, it
can become part of your DNA. And if you keep going through doors, you will
create success, and you will have a chance to achieve significance. You will
make a difference. It’s almost inevitable.”
I know that
can be a lot to get a grip on but I believe it can be life changing for someone
who is reading this.
Is that
someone you?
