“You can do anything if you set your mind to it.”
It’s a silly thing to tell someone. I could set my mind to becoming an F35-B fighter pilot all I want but it will never happen. I can believe it, imagine it, put it on a vision board, and visualize it all I want but the Marine Corps won’t agree with what I’ve set my mind to. Ever.
People do amazing things every day because they “set their mind to it.” They do the work, they sacrifice, they take personal responsibility to execute when no one is looking.
Being in touch with reality is an important context. Mixed in with reality is our emotional interpretation of reality and how we interact with it. The reality is, if you don’t “set your mind to it”…it will never happen.
There are only two steps:
Set your mind to it (believe it can happen)
Get to work
Without both, you’re stuck.
Pro Tip: Spend time asking God to show you reality and what to “set your mind on.” The good news is, He will only show you reality in doses
