Reflections from "As a man thinketh" by James Allen

"Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realises that he is a CREATIVE POWER and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself.

Reflecting on this highlights the fact that I have been created with creative power (made in the image of God) and I have the power to command as master of myself the circumstances of my life.

Awareness: I have creative power, the power is within me, it is not without.

Change / Take action: Again, I will take back control of my life, stop looking outwards and begin to make commandments over my thoughts, my life and ultimately over my circumstances.

Slay Doubt Challenge - Chapter 2 Reflections

Slay Doubt!: How to recognise and confidently manifest God’s calling on your life by Detola Amure Your calling is relevant. Doubting that you have been called, often comes from thinking that you have nothing to offer, or that what you have to offer is not relevant. Wow. This was another liberating chapter for me. Having reinforced the point that I have something to offer, notwithstanding the noise out there in the world, brought so much peace to my heart. Those close to me know how much anxiety I've experienced learning to trust, believe and step into what I believe God, the creator of the universe and everything I know shaped me to be. And why? I believed wrongly that since others had already gone ahead of me, I couldn't possibly offer anything more. Until fairly recently, it had become relatively easy and routine to disqualify myself and my desires. I'd hear myself say things like: I can't do it because so and so are already doing it I'm not good enough I'...

I'm back

Hello It has been a long, long while since last my blog post, almost a year, in fact 🙈😞 I starting blogging to help me develop a consistent writing habit. My plan was to write every day for 90 days, but I've fallen short of that goal several times now. The old Esther would have packed up shop thinking, maybe this isn't for me, but I've learned and understood that failure is necessary on the path to success and therefore I want to state that I'm still committed to this process. Starting tomorrow, I will be posting my reflections and the learning I picked up from a 15-day challenge I took part in on how to slay doubt in all areas of life. Thanks for stopping by.
