RECALIBRATE your Ability, Motivation, Attitude.


CORRECT OR CHANGE your life by checking and adjusting your ability, motivation, and attitude.

 
"Doing Nothing" stems from thinking and believing
that you can't attempt and win at
 "Doing Something."   

Doing Nothing because you 'believe you can't  also results in emotions requiring energy.  Worry, dread, and anxiety are the result of  hopelessness.  The energy required to maintain this state of mind is draining.  The head is lowered, the countenance drops, and the eyes speak of despair.  We have mistakenly defined these traits as being a state of energy free emotions.

Worry or anxiety avails itself of your mental energy!  It takes the same amount of mental effort to compile negative thoughts resulting in a "Do Nothing" perception as it takes to gather positive "Do Something" thoughts which result in action.
 
ABILITY is what you're capable of doing.
     MOTIVATION determines what you do.
          ATTITUDE determines how well you do it.

Ability is the power or capacity to do or act, physically or mentally.  Motivation is something that causes a person to act in a certain way, do a certain thing. and motivation is incentive.  Attitude is a disposition of the mind.

Frank Zappa said: “The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it is not open.”   What would happen if we opened our mind to inspiration?  Not finite inspiration which has limits and bounds and is subject to conditions and circumstances, but the inspiration provided in the Word of God which is ongoing and limitless! The Word of God is alive.  It is Truth.  It has the power to keep us motivated and inspired.

As humans, we are often irrational and emotional. Without inspiration and motivation driving us forward, our day-to-day existence and motivation to become and accomplish will eventually die out.  A lack of motivation can easily set in.  Then, it's easy to lose hope.

The following is from Sun Stand Still, by Steven Furtick:

"Hope is a desire.  Faith is demonstration.  Hope wants it to happen.  Faith causes it to happen and acts as if it's already done.  Faith is not content to want it really, really bad.  Faith consults the drawings and gets busy building.  Hope is the blueprint. Faith is the contractor.  Some of the impossible things we're believing God for will never happen in our lives if we stand in hope instead of walking in faith."

Jesus came to give you that essential and distinctive character - a character respect to fineness, displaying a grade of excellence.  Rich in accomplishments.  A heart of fulfillment.  Attitudes exemplifying a can-do countenance.  Walking with your head lifted --  lifted in hope ... and hope coupled with the promise of His abiding love and concern. 

We can "Do Nothing" apart from Him - but, with Him, "All things are possible." 

Walk in faith.  But, walk in faith.....believing!
