Circumstances do not determine our outcomes.
Even when
our circumstances are beyond control, we have the free
will to choose our responses to things that happen. We can
choose resistance or acceptance.
Acceptance and choosing to act on what we can do will
determine our future.
We have the ability to create and
hold feelings of gratitude for the achievement of our
dreams; these feelings determine our outcomes.
Saint Augustine (354-430), wrote, "People travel to
wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of
the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast
compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the
stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering."
God made us no less wondrous than all these creations.
He intended for us to live abundantly. He gave each
individual a unique purpose and unique talents. He
also added the ability to achieve our most cherished
dreams.
We can "heart power" those dreams by accepting that
ability with faith. Then we will realize the presence
of that indomitable spirit that our Creator gave us.
Today we can choose to offer thanks for those divine
gifts. Gratitude will make our dreams inevitable!
