The Forbidden Art of Victorious Living

In today’s culture we are taught to “think” in certain, nonproductive ways. To see a striking example of this simply turn on your tv and flick to most any news program. Again and again we are told if only our president was different, or if that member of Congress hadn’t done such and such, then our nation/economy/moral fiber would be fine. We have been turned into a Nation of Blame.

We are taught that if only our parents had raised us differently, or we hadn’t had that crazy or abusive uncle/co-worker/sibling, life would be easy. This has created the mindset of once everyone else gets their act together, I can be happy. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The bible teaches us, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” The art of victorious living requires each and every one of us to take responsibility for our lives, and this can be the most life altering change of all.

Once we stop looking outward for change and instead look inward, the law of attraction shifts into high gear. Life is far fairer than we have been taught to believe. I truly believe that anyone who understands and applies this can create the life they dream of.

The first step in building your new, victorious life is to understand that the law of attraction is working all the time, behind the scenes, 24/7. It is bringing together, in the most precise and calculated fashion, situations and events that affect your life. These events can be either for or against you, after all, you created them.

Our thoughts and words, which are based on our beliefs and emotions, create the worlds we find ourselves living in. It’s truly that powerful, it’s truly that amazing. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7)

Once we gain control of our thoughts and words, we begin to alter our beliefs to conform to them. Be careful of what you say. If you think you’ve been unlucky, have you really? Or did your current set of beliefs lead you to the forgone conclusion of events to get you to that “unlucky” spot?

The same can be said for being “lucky” or “blessed.” Is that the case? Or did our underlying core beliefs manifest the good situations we subsequently found ourselves in.

I challenge you to begin to change your thoughts and words today. I challenge you to begin, right now, to take responsibility for your life today. Because only by doing that can you truly create your own world and apply the forbidden art of victorious living.
