We need to start changing our "wants" into "wills".
We all have wishes and dreams, some more than others. Some may be more lavish and extreme than others, but whatever the vision may be, they're inevitable.
I want to have a beautiful family. I want to adopt a pet. I want to be a chef in my own restaurant. I want to live in Europe one day. I want to graduate college. I simply want to be happy.
This list could go on for days. These are all things that I want and long for to become reality--like I really want them.
It's so easy to want, it's for the simple-minded. Now does anything change when I replace the "want" with a "will"?
I WILL adopt a furry friend. I WILL graduate college. I WILL have a successful career. I WILL live a happy life.
What do you wish to do?
Say it: "I want ______________"
Now say: "I will ______________"
Doesn't that sound so much more empowering? You have the power to do these things, if it's something you really desire. God didn't grant us with this life on Earth for us to just sit and watch Netflix or sleep our life away. There are so many things to be done, places to be seen and people to be reached.
We need to train our minds to start thinking "I will" and tongues to start speaking with the positive power we are able to use. (The tongue is a powerful thing)
Now face those want and dreams and start putting them into action, big and small. It will be a challenge, for sure, but it will be worth it. Imagine how successful and satisfying you will feel when are able to say, "I did."
DREAM BIG.

"And if you will make a new start, listening obediently to God, keeping all his commandments that I'm commanding you today. God, your God, will outdo himself in making things go well for you; you'll have babies, get calves, grow crops, and enjoy an all-around good life. Yes, God will start enjoying you again, making things go well for you just as he enjoyed doing it for your ancestors." Deut. 30:8-9
