How bad do you want it?

How bad do you want it?  How bad do you want that promotion, to start that new business, for your relationships to flourish?  You can confess all day long to yourself and to others that you will not stop until you have achieved your goal, but deep down do you believe?  If you believe it are you ready and prepared to receive what you have been believing in?  So many questions, but necessary for one to be able to answer with a honest heart.  If we are believing for something and wont stop until it has been achieved, then we have to be sure we are prepared to receive the blessing.  For that to happen we need to have the right attitude and be in the proper mindset.

Your mind is one of the most powerful things you have working for you, but many of us use our own minds to work against us.  You spend years working at a job showing that you are ready and prepared for more responsibilities.  People in your organization look to you for guidance, and you show great leadership.  Someone comes to you and says you would be the perfect fit to fill the open role and the company should promote you.  Your mind says, well I don't know if I would be the best fit, but your outside reaction is all in for the promotion.  At that point you have already talked yourself out of the promotion, because your mind can't handle it.  Even though you believe you deserve it your mind isn't ready to receive the blessing.  We have to stop hindering our own progress by reshaping our mindset that we deserve it, and believe and be ready to receive our blessing.
