Anything Is Possible To Those Who Believe
Believe this: the way you see your “Big Why” makes all the difference in the world to your success.
What’s in Your Mind’s Eye View?
When you know – deep inside your soul – how your future would & could LOOK if you did THIS (whatever it is thing), the risk shrinks to the size of your “BIG WHY.
You reach the place where you’re willing to do what you need to get from here to there.
Are You Willing To Do Whatever It Takes To Grab Your Success?
Remember: Anything is Possible to Those Who Believe.
- Do YOU believe in yourself? That you are capable?
- Are you a persevering spirit or are you a quitter?
- Are you determined or you easily get discouraged?
- How’s your mindset? Do you have right or stinking thinking?
When you know without doubt you’re where you should be, you can’t help but keep on going even when it’s a risk.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE.
Begin by Asking These Questions:
- What is my big WHY?
- What about it moves me?
- What am I passionate about?
- What would I walk through fire for?
- What does this mean in the big scheme of my life?
- What would I do if money and time wasn’t an issue?
- What legacy do I want to leave to the coming generation?
- What do I want the world to look like after I’ve walked through it?
Remember: Anything is Possible to Those Who Believe.
- Do YOU believe in yourself? That you are capable?
- Are you a persevering spirit or are you a quitter?
- Are you determined or you easily get discouraged?
- How’s your mindset? Do you have right or stinking thinking?
When you know without doubt you’re where you should be, you can’t help but keep on going even when it’s a risk.
As early as grade 1, we are told, “Pay attention, stop dreaming!” These comments are thrown at us liberally. As we grow up, we hear it from all sources… “C’mon! You can’t be seriously believing you can do this…” The dream stealers justify it by saying they are being realistic. Eventually, we stop dreaming altogether. How sad…
We Were Born to Dream! Every person who ever amounted to anything or achieved their goals had a dream. They had a vision. It is so important to surround yourself with people who will encourage, support and motivate you. Anything is possible to those who believe; you’ve got to be determined to do what it takes to get there. Your success depends on how serious and committed you are.
If You Are Going to Succeed at Your Own Business:
-
- You must treat it like a real job and not a hobby
- Commit to a certain amount of hours weekly.
- Have mentors, teachers and coaches
- Be persistent, consistent and determined
- Be ready to become comfortable with the uncomfortable
- Be willing to be stretched as you continually grow in your business
How Committed Are YOU Willing to Be?
Are you ready to sacrifice temporary gratification for long-term RESULTS?
It is personal freedom that allows us to live a happy, fulfilling life. What are the “reasons” or your “big why” for your goals?
- To enjoy more of life & our family?
- To be free from stress & worry?
- To have more time & money freedom?
You may simply want to escape the “rat race,” or that “merry-go-round” you find yourself on. Maybe you want to pay off your bills to reduce financial stress. Whatever your reason is, if it’s important to you – you’ll be even more determined to take the necessary steps to achieve them.
- You can choose the freedom that comes with being an entrepreneur and your own business.
- You can choose to do whatever will be asked of you, even when you don’t feel like getting the job done.
What are you willing to do make your dream come true? What is holding you back? Shed your limiting beliefs, set your goals and take action! Knowing your reason why is your motivating fuel to achieve your goals!
Be CLEAR on Your BIG “WHY”
- Why you’re doing it in the first place
- What do you want your ideal life to look like?
- What will your business enable you to do?
A lot of people just jump in without thinking about what they’re going to do. They have no clue how they’re going to do it, and they’re not clear on their why. That’s the biggest reason why so many are not as successful as they could be. They don’t have that driving motivation to keep them focused with their strategies.
Do You Desire to Have:
- More freedom in your life?
- More control over your destiny?
- Your unique gifts and talents making a difference in the world?
- Your own business, but you don’t know where to start?
- A clear strategy behind your actions to see results?
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE.
Norma – Excellent post! I think God gives us those dreams – that ability to see something others may not so that the plans that He has for us (Jeremiah 29:11) will bear fruit. Understanding our purpose and the “why” will place us on the right path. xo

I like this, Norma. The Big Why is important in wellness too. Lots of overlap here, KWIM? Thanks as always for another helpful post.

Norma, what an excellent post. Absolutely, your WHY is a very important question. If you can answer that single question, it makes your what and other pieces of your life much more enjoyable…and gives it more meaning to everything too.

Daniele, awesome! Something we need to not forget along the way. Thanks for coming over! :)
Good question.. the Big Why? My passion for helping people have the good health to live their Big Why often gets jumbled up with other things like: right now my husband’s health concerns, our financial needs, the economy, all my other dreams that I haven’t had or taken time to do, and on and on. My big challenge is finding the right balance to accomplish my Big Why. Thanks for this thought provoking article.

I like that Carele. :)
Knowing my “why” has helped me stay the course as I build my home business in the nooks and crannies of my day. As a woman over 50 who is ready to redefine success it’s time to lead others in the same direction. Norma, your article hit the ball out of the park…without a burning desire for change and understanding why we are doing something nothing will succeed long term. We must evaluate our why to have the perseverance to stay the course until…

Commitment is everything. Whatever you are committed to, will happen. There is a fantastic link on youtube by T.D. Jakes on commitment. Well worth the watch. Without commitment, you will never be a success.
