Can We Really Have Victory?

Can We Really Have Victory?

Before we can answer that question we need to know what victory is.  

My dictionary defines it this way: Success in a struggle. 

One thing I am learning is that success can come even before the circumstances change. 

A question I learned from Graham Cooke: "Who does God want to be for me now that He couldn't be until this "struggle" happened?" 

This question gives me a whole different perspective or "lens" to view my circumstances through. 

When I choose to look through the lens of knowing I'm a beloved child of God and that I am never on my own, I find that the circumstances are neutral.  The reason this happens is because I have changed my interpretation of the circumstance.  I have shifted my thoughts about the circumstance. 

But I thank God, who always leads us in victory because of Christ. - 2 Corinthians 2:14

Another helpful practice is realizing that the are no "great" victories, but rather a bunch of small victories complied together.

We can set ourselves up for no good when we refuse or belittle even our smallest of accomplishments.  

What is we decided to take a daily dose of Vitamin W3 - Three Wins recognized for each 24 hours?  

How differently would we see our struggles and ourselves? 

How would that change the way we look at circumstances?  

These simple steps are life changing. They can make a tremendous difference in our "victories" with losing weight and regaining health. 

I would love to help you implement these and  other helpful practices.  Click here to sign up for my Free Six Day Challenge https://peghinman.wufoo.com/forms/free-sixday-challenge-event/

Vitamin D - The Divine Vitamin -D The Divine.   This is a Vitamin you don't take.   It is one you receive.                  Because the Divine is the source of power behind all powers, the chemistry created when we experience the Divine supersedes all known laws of the body.                   There's no question that faith plays a paramount role in life with The Divine. Yet in order to "have faith," we must have something else first. First we must learn to   trust              The nature of God is unchanging; The Divine wants only what is good for us.   It is true even if we are not doing well. It doesn’t depend on our capacity to do something, it’s really about His ability to do something for us. By trusting Him, we get a confidence from...

Vitamin T-3 Three Things You Are Thankful For Yesterday we talked about straightening up your brain like you would a room that you want to keep clean and organized If you need to bring in new thoughts to practice, then say goodbye to the thoughts you have been thinking.   One of the best ways to do this is by taking Vitamin T-3 When we harness our thoughts by choosing to focus on three things we are thankful for, several things happen in our brain and body. First,  studies are finding the powerful benefits for choosing optimism and positive thoughts. This habit releases endorphins into our system, turns on all our learning centers in our brain and raises our productivity as much as 31% !  When we choose to count our blessings it triggers the Relaxation Response.  When this ParaSympathetic Nervous System is engaged,  our metabolism is stimulated and our digestive system revs up.  What a wonderful way to start our day!   ...

Your Future is Your Property Your future is your property and it is built one thought at a time.   How does it feel when you read this?   We are quickly approaching the beginning of a new year and we can create a year like no other for ourselves.   Here are a few steps I recommend for creating your future: Think about what you are thinking.  How are you thinking about you?  If your daughter or son had a friend that spoke to them like you speak to yourself, would you think they were a good friend? It is important to understand where we are with our thinking. Just like using GPS, we need to know where our starting point is.  Now that you have your beginning location, think about your destination.  It is your thoughts that will get you there.  If you want to lose some weight or organize your home or build your relationships, the way you think is the way to get there.  Speaking of The Way, how does HE s...
