ENOUGH FAITH

Men used to believe the world was flat. Early sailors thought if you sailed in a straight line, you would eventually sail off the edge of the world into oblivion.

Only a few people thought the world was round. They took a step of faith and sailed their ships around the world. Their step of faith allowed them to sail on the ocean of their dreams.

That’s the way faith works.

It makes extraordinary things happen.

It’s the first step you take on the journey to your dreams.

Without faith, it’s impossible to live your dreams.



EVERYTHING WORTH DOING REQUIRES A STEP OF FAITH

Everything worth doing requires a step of faith.

When you move in the direction of your dreams regardless of the consequences, you have all the faith you need to make them come true.

When I left my job to sail around the world on a thirty-nine foot catamaran, I moved in the direction of my dreams regardless of the consequences.

Sailing around the world on my own boat took me far outside my comfort zone. It was easy to think of dozens of reasons why it was a bad idea.

If I focused on everything that could go wrong, I would have stayed in homeport forever.

The only way to make the voyage happen was to take a leap of faith. I had to start sailing regardless of the consequences.



When I decided create a Positive Thinking Network with more than 200 positive websites, I knew that the odds of rocking the world with my websites were low.

There are billions of pages on the internet, and my positive sites are less than a drop in an ocean of URLs.

The only one way to find out if anyone would visit the Positive Thinking Network was to create the websites and accept the consequences.

If you want to make your dreams come true, faith is the only way to make them happen. You must move in the direction of your dreams regardless of the consequences.

FAITH IS EMPOWERMENT

Faith is about empowerment. To get where you want to go, you need power, and faith gives you that power. Practical faith comes in two types.

Type I Faith empowers you to do the things you can do and should do for yourself.

Type II Faith empowers God to do things for you that you can’t do for yourself.



TYPE I FAITH

The first type of faith empowers you to be all you can be, and do all you can do. It’s what makes your dreams possible.

This type of faith affects all areas of your life.

You don’t need to be spiritually alive for this type of faith to work. People who have no religious convictions can still use type I faith to make their dreams come true.

When God created you, he placed type I faith inside your heart and mind.

Everyone is given this type of faith at birth. Some people develop their ability to use this gift, and others hardly know it’s there.

Although type I faith empowers you to do what you want to do and be what you want to be, this doesn’t mean God is left out of the picture.

God is the one who gave you this gift, and He expects you to use it in a worthwhile manner.

Type I faith is a powerful force for both good and evil.

Bad people use this gift for evil purposes; they use its power to intimidate, coerce, and bend others to their will. They have evil dreams that they want to impose upon the world, and they use the dark side of type I faith to make it happen.

Be careful how you use this gift.

With power comes responsibility and accountability.

The moral universe grinds slowly, but it grinds sure. God designed the moral universe to keep close accounts of how you use type I faith.

Eventually, accounts will be settled and you will reap what you sow.



TYPE II FAITH

Type II faith empowers God to do the things for you that you can’t do for yourself.

You can’t pull yourself up by your own spiritual bootstraps.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t be born spiritually without God’s help. Only God can make your spirit come alive.

This second type of faith makes it possible for God to work in your life.

It happens when you open your heart to God’s love and become one of his children. The power of God’s love flows through your life transforming your mind and healing damaged emotions. For the first time in your life, you dare to call God your Father, and you have a relationship with him based on love.

God has been waiting to perform a miracle in your life since the day you were born. Type II faith takes the handcuffs off God so the miracles can begin.



DON’T CONFUSE THE TWO TYPES OF FAITH

Many people act as if there is only one type of faith.

They think if they have enough faith, God will make their dreams come true.

They want God to do things for them that they can do for themselves. That’s a big mistake, and it won’t work.

No amount of faith will make God do for you what you can do and should do for yourself.

God placed type I faith in your heart so you would be empowered to be all you can be and do all you can do. God intends for you to exercise your faith so you can live a life of excellence.

Faith works when you use it correctly.

If faith isn’t working for you, it’s because you are using it in an incorrect manner.

You are probably trying to get God to do things for you that you can do for yourself.



RUNNING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

Before you take a step of faith, you need to have a talk with God. You need a reality check to make sure you are heading in the right direction.

Every step you take in the wrong direction takes you further from your dreams and further from the plan that God has for your life.

No matter how fast you run, if it’s in the wrong direction, you will never reach your dreams.

When God is your navigator, all of your steps are in the right direction.

The fastest way to your dreams is to have God show you the way.

MAX OUT ON GOD'S LOVE

Real Power: Maxingout On God's Love

God is love and works by love. The power and presence of God in my life is love. Every time I see love, I see God's hand at work. Every time I feel love, I experience God's presence and power. When my mind is full of thoughts consistent with God's love, my thoughts are healthy, and my mind is exactly the way God means for it to be. When my heart is full of emotions consistent with God's love, my emotions are healthy, and they are exactly the way God means for them to be. There is no limit to how good my life can become when I open my heart and mind to the power of His love. God loves and accepts me the way I am, but He loves me to much to let me stay that way. He loves me from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and it does not get any better than that. For the rest of my life I will max out on God's love. Real Power: Maxing Out on God's Love is now available in ebook format at Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.

Maximum Strength Positive Thinking - David J. Abbott M.D.

Although I can't control all the events of my life, I can control what I put into my mind. I have sufficient control over my mind to shape the otucome of my life in a way that reflects my goals and aspirations. I have an infinite number of future lives I can live. The way I run my mind determines which of them it will be. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

When you choose your thoughts, you choose your brain chemistry. When you change your thoughts, you change your brain chemistry. You are not the victim of your brain chemistry. You are its creator. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

I will live the rest of my life as if I am a great person. I will live as if my dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. I will act as if I cannot fail. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

Limiting thoughts are a disguised form of negation. They are a way that I say no to life while pretending that life is saying no to me. Limitations are plausible self-deceptions. They are prefabricated excuses for every failure to be what I want to be and to do what I want to do. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

I can make a living or make a life. When I make a living, I focus on survival. When I make a life, I focus on my dreams. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

Change first happens in my mind. Whatever I am or ever will be is first found in my mind. In order to have a new life, I need a new way of thinking. That is where everything starts. I can change who I am by changing what I put into my mind. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

If I am having trouble geting permission to do the things I want to do, I need to take a look in the mirror. The person in the mirror is the only one who can give me permission to go for my dreams. All other permission rituals are irrelevant. My life is mine alone, and that is sufficient authority to grant whatever permission is required. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

The way I use my mind defines what it means to be me. At the most basic level, I am what I think about all day long. My mind is the only part of me that can change or that would ever be worth changing. If I want to change who I am, I must change the collection of thoughts that defines what it means to be me. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

I will live the rest of my life as if I am a great person. I will practice being great each day of my life. I have only one life, and I may as well make it a great one. I have little to lose and much to gain by living as if I am great. I will live as if my dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking

A positive mind is not an accident. It's the product of positive mental focus. A persistently positive focus creates a consistently positive mind. Maximum Strength Positive Thinking
