another adventure? Something new to discover? A new friend to meet? Or greet an old friend? Perhaps a new challenge… or the answer to the problem that you currently are facing? What will your eyes behold? What will you see? Are you excited? Fearful? Anticipating? What and how do you feel? Anxious? Hopeful? Actually, ‘today’ offers you all that… and, I suspect, more. But how you face your today depends on you and your attitude, mindset. If, when you faced yesterday, the result turned out less than positive will you let this taint your today?
But… do we only rely on how we reacted before as our guide? Are we open to a new or different approach in order to experience a new result? Our mindset, frame of reference and experiences are concepts that I tend to talk about a great deal. But you really can’t be cavalier about them. Your mindset is your frame of reference and it is always in a state of refinement, or at least my bias is that it should. Your mindset is one of the pillars in your foundation. One’s mindset forms the basis on which we act, our behavior. We develop our mindset but our mindset directs us.
My bias would be that the upcoming looming has the potential of being a grand new adventure. Minimally it will show you a new horizon. So, you’re at the top of the hill… what do you see now? Are there only problems and issues? Perhaps there’s an inviting vista of new opportunities. The point is that even in the negative that maybe awaiting you, can you now preplan? Maybe you can align your resources to meet the challenge? And maybe… just maybe there may be some new resources for you to explore and add to your arsenal.?
There’s a scripture that tells us that God’s mercies are renewed every morning. Which tells us that we can expect and rely on Him and His abilities to be available to us … every morning. Do we utilize this knowledge when we begin our day? And especially do we remember this promise when we look upon the upcoming hill in our today? Can we capitalize on this mindset to what may be … just over the upcoming hill? He told us: “He would always be with us and will provide a way through situations that are beyond us. We are more than conquerors through Christ who strengthens us!” It really comes down to how we approach all the unknowns in our lives, but we really are amazingly equipped.
