You Are A Welcome Guest In This World

Have you ever noticed that most of us walk around with the mindset that we are unwelcomed; or that we have to prove our right to be here? Society has a way of beating us up and making us feel unwelcomed, unloved and undesired. We let negative people infect us with limitations and control our destiny. We adopt a mindset of lack, distrust and operate like intruders in a world that we are anxious to escape. As a result, we operate in a state of constant fear. Many of us carry the stench of rejection and hate everywhere we go. We don't trust the goodness of the Creator that placed us here. This mindset is a cancer that can eat away at our soul and manipulate every aspect of our life.

The truth of the matter is that nothing could be further from the truth. When society creates tones of lack and unworthiness, we often adopt it as a belief system that then governs our life. We support the belief with our actions and make these wicked beliefs our reality. We must learn to use our faith and the goodness of our Creator to overpower the shadow of hate and distrust.

Those who fight for freedom understand the importance of mindset and how it affects our environment. Martin Luther King kept his dream alive despite the actions of the society in which he lived. Mother Theresa maintained the spirit of love despite all the hate she navigated through. Harriet Tubman's mindset of strength and determination penetrated the odds she faced. And your perseverance through life has helped you to overcome insurmountable odds.

Get rid of the mindset that life is not safe and that happiness and abundance are not your birthright. Always see your life as advancing and improving. Know that you can be better today than you were yesterday. The Universe is always aspiring for your good. Evil, lack and negativity have no place in your life. No weapon formed against your shall prosper unless you allow it to penetrate your mind and ultimately your environment.

Say a prayer and ask to be free from the bondage of lack, distrust and disparity. Ask to be free from the negativity and controlling nature of others. Ask that all doubt and lack be removed from your mindset. Then take a moment to be thankful for every detail in your life. Every situation is an opportunity to learn. Focus on who you are and the good that is showing up in your life. You will see your enemy dwindle and run away. Remember, you are a welcome guest in this world. Get comfortable and enjoy your life.
