The Difficulty in Life.m4v

Isn't it GREAT that God gave us free will? Isn't it GREAT that he gave us a MIND? Isn't it GREAT that he gave us the OPPORTUNITY to make CHOICES?

I've found three choices to be incredibly impactful and revolutionary in my life, and I would like to encourage us all to allow transformation to occur in our lives due to meditation on them.

THE FIRST IS: THE CHOICE TO BE HAPPY
-HAPPINESS is a CHOICE....IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE
-so many people live their whole lives IGNORING the OPTION of HAPPINESS.
-so many people live their entire lives choosing NEGATIVITY instead of OPTIMISM
-Here's the secret. We ALL have a happy heart.
-The thing is, it gets COVERED UP....It gets covered up by failures, doubts, insecurities, and whatever other negative thing the enemy throws at us.
-SO, it is THEREFORE our CHOICE to UNCOVER our hearts by surrendering all that junk to God and EMBRACING A HAPPY HEART.
-It will RELIEVE us from STRESS, WORRY, and ANXIETY....and it will open our eyes to the GOOD God's trying to show us

THE SECOND CHOICE IS: THE CHOICE TO HAVE A GODLY MINDSET
-NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS OR HOW A SCENARIO PLAYS OUT, HAVING A GODLY MINDSET WILL GET US THROUGH IT!!!!!
-What is a Godly mindset?!
-It's a mind focused on the success of GOD'S kingdom
-It's a mind focused on GOD'S PURPOSE, not simply OUR own...
-It's a mind focused on GOD'S success and work, not simply OURS.
-I've found that allowing the Holy Spirit to live through me lets me see what GOD thinks about specific situations or people or what's happening at any given time.
-Having a godly mindset brings DEPTH into EVERYTHING. It adds purpose to our thoughts and questions and points us to seeking GOD'S perspective.
-No matter what we go through, implementing this mindset brings overwhelming optimism into our lives, and it is almost impossible to see ANY experience as pointless...wow...I'll take a glass of that please.
AND THE FINAL CHOICE IS: THE CHOICE TO FOLLOW THROUGH
-All of us have heard the idea that "God opens doors"
-A revelation I've had is that God opens doors for us, but it's our job to walk through them....
-I find myself bumping into the walls a lot...Thomas Edison once said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." So often we tend to bump into the walls AROUND the door as we DOUBT, or ASSUME FUTURE FAILURE instead of POTENTIAL SUCCES.

-Abandoning concern for what PEOPLE will THINK of US as we faithfully walk through the doors God opens for us will FREE us to BE SOOOOO effective for God.

-Just accept the fact that God opened specific doors for ONLY YOU to walk through, and it WILL be sooooo rewarding to know that you made the CHOICE to follow through and accept the opportunities he's laid out for you.

CONCLUSION
"Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how YOU CHOOSE to handle it."
Therefore, THE DIFFICULTY IS LIFE IS THE CHOICE, so
CHOOSE HAPPINESS
CHOOSE A GODLY MINDSET
And CHOOSE TO FOLLOW THROUGH
