But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:22 (NLT) Your potential will do nothing for you without discipline and work ethic. Everyone has potential. In just one high school, you could find enough potential to change the world. You might find a potential leader of the nation, a potential researcher who could find the cure for cancer, and a potential screenplay writer who could make movies about God that cause millions to come to Christ. But that’s just potential. We need to turn potential into reality. What does it take to bring potential to life? Sure, intelligence is important, but what it really takes is belief, discipline and a good work ethic. …
Change Your Autopilot
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) Yesterday we began a series talking about your potential. And the first, most important thing to get right on this journey toward fulfilling your potential is your heart beliefs. You see, your heart is like an autopilot; it determines where your life goes. When you dial in a set of coordinates on a jet’s autopilot, it is designed to fly to that destination. Let’s say you programmed it to go to Tokyo but then you change your mind and decide to go to San Francisco instead. I’m not sure this is possible, but let’s pretend you grab the controls and with all your strength you manage to get it …
Cambiar Su Piloto Automático
Por sobre todas las cosas cuida tu corazón, porque de él mana la vida. Proverbios 4:23 (NVI) Ayer comenzamos una serie hablando de su potencial. Y lo primero, lo más importante para ir bien en este viaje hacia el cumplimiento de su potencial es su creencia de corazón. Usted ve, su corazón es como un piloto automático; que determina para dónde va su vida. Cuando usted marca un conjunto de coordenadas en el piloto automático de un jet, este está diseñado para volar a ese destino. Digamos que lo programó para ir a Tokio, pero luego cambia de idea y decide ir mejor a San Francisco. No estoy seguro de que esto sea posible, pero vamos a suponer que agarra los controles y con toda …
Heart Beliefs Determine Direction
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) What do you really believe in your heart about yourself? Those beliefs are crucial because they determine the way you live and function. What you really believe in your heart determines what you will do with your life. Without the right beliefs, all you have is potential, but potential alone is meaningless. Often sports coaches will say things such as, “That kid has great potential.” But potential means nothing if it doesn’t become reality. Did God make anybody who lacks potential? Absolutely not! Everybody has great potential, but that doesn’t mean everyone lives it out. God gave some people the …
Las Creencias Del Corazón Determinan La Dirección
Porque somos hechura suya, creados en Cristo Jesús para buenas obras, las cuales Dios preparó de antemano para que las hagamos. Efesios 2:10 (NVI) ¿Qué es lo que realmente cree en su corazón acerca de usted? Esas creencias son cruciales, ya que determinan la forma en que vive y funciona. Lo que realmente cree en su corazón determina lo que va a hacer con su vida. Sin las creencias correctas, todo lo que tiene es potencial, pero el potencial solo no tiene sentido. A menudo, los entrenadores deportivos van a decir cosas como: “Ese chico tiene un gran potencial.” Pero el potencial no significa nada si no lo convierte en realidad. Hizo Dios a alguien que carece de potencial? ¡Absolutamente no! Todo el mundo tiene …
