How To Open Up Your Breakthroughs

[As featured in IBN Magazine August Issue 2010]

Do you know what will open up the breakthrough of your life?

Do you know what will unleash your potentials?

Do you know what will make the whole events conspire to fulfill the dreams of your life?

It’s this –

A THANKFUL HEART.

Doubt will close your breakthroughs because when you doubt, you will have no motivation to move. Fear will close your breakthrough because when you fear, you are driving away the good things you supposed to attract.

Complaining will close your breakthrough because when you complain, you become blind to all opportunities right before you.

Do you know the attitude that triggered why Adam and Eve fell into sin?

It is their unthankful heart.

Just imagine, they have everything and yet of all the things that bothered them is the thing they don’t have. Same until now, right? We fell into depression because we are so bothered of what we don’t have when we supposed to be thankful of what we already have. No wonder a simple and single fruit made Eve to sin when she have all the fruits in her possession! Due to their downfall, the Garden of Eden was closed against them.

Same principle until now, practically speaking, it is your unthankful heart that will close resources, opportunities, abundance and breakthroughs against you.

But a thankful heart will open all the gateways of resources, opportunities, abundance and breakthrough! Blessings come only to those who are already ready to be thankful. 

Being thankful means you are working out of inspiration and not out of desperation.

You can work out of inspiration or out of desperation. For me, I want to work out of inspiration. It is hard when you work out of desperation. Let me ask you, are you really enjoying what you are doing right now? If not, then you are working out of desperation. It is a sign of an unthankful heart and that is the reason why no matter how you work, you have no progress and you have no fulfillment. Why not work out of inspiration? Inspiration invites all joys, blessings and abundance for you. It will also makes you happy in your work.

I have observed many who stayed mediocre are those people who work out of desperation and those who really thrive and became successful are those who work out of inspiration.

So be thankful. When you become thankful, fear disappears and abundance appears.

Being thankful means also you fully believe in your breakthroughs.

You attract what you believe. When you are thankful, you are full of positivism. It is not by sight but by faith. For by faith, you can already see what will happen. You fully believe and that is why you can thank God now in advance, and because you believe, breakthroughs magnets into you.

Be thankful.

Being thankful means also that you will accept any challenges –

It is knowing that you are just going through it. Challenges for you are not hindrances but stepping stones. You accept oppositions, hindrances and challenges as part of the ingredients of your breakthroughs. This is what I do in my prayer life, the first time I prayed for a specific thing, I come to ask. But the second time I mentioned it to God, I come already in thanksgiving.

Simple three words to say full-heartedly everyday that will open up your breakthroughs –

“Thank you Lord.”

I just said it, felt it and meant it and right now I believe another breakthrough has opened up for me.

How about you? Will you keep on closing your breakthroughs in life because of your doubts and fears? Or will you open the reservoir of all blessings that has long been waiting for you?
