That was me to my super daughter, Ember, a few minutes ago. She was telling me how she plans on improving herself and said, “No, mommy, I want to develop a new MINDSET.” When she said “MINDSET,” I immediately rushed back to the calendar God speaks to me through. Five minutes before our conversation, I had read:
“In order to effectively fulfill your mission, you need to embrace new MINDSETS and outlooks that will help you personally change.”
AGAIN, NO COINCIDENT! This was another one of my God winks when out of the blue everything lined up strangely too perfectly. What are the chances of me reading about embracing a new mindset in this 365-day calendar, and five minutes later my daughter tells me about her new mindset? I thought she was playing me at first, but when I rushed back and saw that calendar, I knew she was genuine, and most importantly it assured me of God’s Presence with our family. The verse at the end even confirmed this:
“The Lord is NEAR to all who call upon Him.” – Psalm 145:18
I had brought this calendar to my desk earlier today because I felt I needed to hear from God through it, and He didn’t disappoint! And strangely enough, I did a video on the new mindset I’m learning from David Goggins. I had spent 2 hours with him on Tuesday for my appointment with God watching his appearance on the Rich Roll podcast to promote his book, ‘Can’t Hurt Me.’ And another 2 hours the following day with my daughters watching it AGAIN. I picked up that instead of getting angry when bad things happen to us, we can have a different mindset by turning that anger into fuel to motivate us to be better with a Can’t Hurt Me attitude.
So, it turns out God was preparing me for a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT yesterday night. And what did your girl do? Instead of getting angry, I went directly into Can’t Hurt Me mode turning that anger into fuel to stay up late studying with my daughters who both are striving for ALL A Honour Roll, baby, and to spend some time alone with God to get my MINDSET on what HE would have me to be thinking about.
Are you always obedient to God? I knew He would have me to forgive and show mercy, and to refocus my energies into more positive things. And I did exactly that. I feel this calendar was Him saying, ‘I saw your new mindset, Nik, and the way you calmly dealt with that situation! I’m super proud of you, My girl!’ Thanks, My love! Anything to please You, let me learn!
And that right there is the way to living YOUR BEST LIFE WITH GOD! I will move JOYOUSLY FORWARD with Him as my Guide. Amen.
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
