Someday

We all have hopes and dreams of a someday in our life.

It goes like this; someday I will be happy, Someday I will be confident, someday I will have friends, someday I won’t be afraid, someday they will love me, someday I will be accepted, someday I will be in shape, someday I will know God’s plan for my life, someday I won’t be intimidated, someday, someday, someday.

I am here to tell you that God’s someday is today. He is the God of hopes, dreams and desires and he wants you to have the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4 says “Take delight in the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Your someday starts with having a real prayer with God about what is going on in your life. Not just a prayer where you ask God to forgive you your sins and let the sun shine tomorrow. A real fervent prayer where you ask God how to start and where to begin.

There are many people that pass away with “someday” dreams that will never be realized. You choose. Yes, It is your choose. When you choose God and his will for your life, I believe he starts immediately helping you get to the place he wants you to be and begins the process of turning “someday” into “today.” KT

I never got that far in my dreams

When Bubba Watson won the masters golf tournament last year, they were interviewing him afterwards. He said while growing up and dreaming about a career in professional golf, “I never got this far in my dreams.” He was crying and so very humble. It made you want to pull for him.

What a profound statement. “I never got this far in my dreams.” Think about that a minute. We probably all have experienced that. I know that when Elaine and I were just starting out, I could not even dream of the life we have today. With no formal education, my biggest dream was good job, healthy family and a stable life.

I believe God looks at us and knows our dreams but he also knows our potential. His dreams are always far and away larger and so much bigger than we can imagine. I believe if you let him, he will take you to a place you never could imagine being.

Our level of dreams are based largely on our environment and the people around us but God’s dream and perfect will for our life is the unimaginable and the gift from God almighty. KT

Superman pose

It is common knowledge that we can physically make an action that will change our emotional state. This is a pretty deep subject that will take a week’s worth of talking to fully cover, but I will try to summarize it in a few paragraphs.

I heard someone talk about the Superman pose on a show the other day and it caught my attention. It basically means that while no one is watching, you strike a superman pose for 2 minutes before you go into a sales pitch, job interview, presentation etc. The physical aspect of head held high, chest poked out, feet wide apart and hands on the hip actually changes your emotional state.

Don’t laugh because many parts of this are true. Now I probably won’t be doing the Superman pose, but there is a real factual and spiritual truth to making a positive physical gesture even when you don’t feel emotional like it. It is like going into a meeting with a brisk step and smiling boldly and reaching for a hand shake, many times will set the precedence of the meeting. The opposite is going in shy, head lowered, reserved, sitting with your legs crossed and your arms folded over. It tells the person you are meeting with that you may be fearful.

The emotional atmosphere in most meetings and presentations is set within the first 2 minutes. I personally know that this is factually based and so very true. See, I stutter when I talk and the more confident I am the less I stutter. When my self-esteem falters in front of people, the more I stutter. Therefore, I have instinctively known for many years that I can fake my emotions out by making a physical bold gesture. It is incredible to feel your emotions about a situation actually began to change when you physically force them to change.

I know this sounds foreign and complicated and almost like a bunch of baloney, but please listen to me here. You can physically outsmart your emotional state by just “starting” to act (even though you don’t feel like it) positive and bold. So the next time you are going into an important meeting break out the superman pose before you go in. KT
