Chicken or Egg?

So, which came first? Was it the chicken or the egg? I'm going to leave that one alone for now; however, I do want to address a similar question. Which come first, which is the cause: mood or success? We all have seen proof of that answer though we live our lives in denial of the truth.  

Winston Churchill said, "The moods determine the fortunes of people rather than the fortunes determine the mood."

How many people have you known, do you now know, who have lots of money and yet are not happy? How many of those who win the lottery wind up depressed, commit suicide, etc? If we are going to change our circumstances we have to change our thinking and along with that we have to change our emotional state. Change your thinking and emotions and you change your life!

We must "catch the mood" of the thing that we desire!

In other words, how would you feel IF the thing you dream of were to manifest? If dreams were for sale, what would you buy and why? Forget the FACTS that surround your life right now. Those facts came as a result of your past thinking, your previous thoughts, the OPINIONS that you had of yourself and others. What about the INTERNAL REALITIES of who you really ARE?

When do they get play time? When will you express the YOU that YOU ARE? Don't be afraid! Live as though- as though what? Isn't the real dilemma that you don't know who you ARE because you refuse to let go of trying to BE things you're NOT? We all must take time to go within, to internalize, to see, to feel, and then return to the NOW and BE the true consciousness of God within.

What's your explanation, the practical out-working for the phrases "Christ in ME, the hope of glory"?
