“You can accomplish anything you wish that is not contradictory to the laws of God or man, providing you are willing to pay the price” O G Mandino, (A better way to live).
O G Mandino is one of those writers who I consider to have been inspired by the Holy Spirit in his writings and teachings. His writings resonate with Biblical principles an indication that he found his worth and inspiration from the scriptures. In his book “A better way to live” he states that “when God gave us dominion over the world, He also gave us dominion over ourselves. We each plot our own map. God is our navigator---God bestowed on each of us intellect and talent and vision to map our own way, to write our own book of life in any manner we chose” (P.46). He reminds us that our worth is always determined by our deeds not by our good intention, however noble. Indeed James in his epistle writes “--- faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead” James 2:17.
In “A better way to live” he suggests the following principles;
1) Count your blessings- Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, you will finally be able to move forward toward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence.
2) Today and everyday deliver more than you are getting paid to do- The victory of success will be half won when you learn the secrets of putting out more than is expected in all that you do.
3) Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don’t look back at it long- Mistakes are life’s way of teaching you. Your failures when they happen are just part of your growth. Never quit, your turn will come.
4) Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family- Nurture their love carefully remembering that your children need models not critics and your own progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children. Even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family you are a success.
5) Build this day on a foundation of pleasant thoughts - Never fret at any imperfections that you fear may impede your progress. Remind yourself as often as you can that you are a creation of God and you have the power to achieve any dream by lifting up your thoughts.

How to Get what you want
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand" Psalm 37:23-24.
The secret of our outer success is desire. You must know what you want, feel it deeply and believe it. The three attributes of passion, belief and desire are the power wheel to getting what you want. When you exercise your will with actions to satisfy your desires, your desires become stronger. The more you persist the more you believe and the more you feel.
By taking action to get what you want you strengthen your belief. The world will not believe in you until you believe. Those who think big or desire big draw even bigger obstacles to overcome. If you are patient and persistent and continue to exercise your will to fulfill your desire, you will succeed. It is not always what you do but what you want, feel and believe that counts.
Action is required to bring to fruitation our desire but it does not have to wear us down nor does it have to be a struggle. Once you have learned to access your inner intuition and confidence you will not have to push so hard or take big risks to attract success. Doing too much is sometimes the result of not believing in your power to attract and activate success. By relying fully on doing to achieve many people disconnect with the belief that they can get what they want.
The fire of passion once ignited attracts great and brilliant ideas. Whenever we push ourselves to our limit we feel our limit by experiencing negative emotions. When we push to our limit and then let go, we are turning it over to God. Regardless of your particular orientation, when you let go after doing everything you can, you will receive what you want.
When we experience our spiritual connection with God it becomes easier to remember that we are not alone and that we are helped. God is Spirit and He wants us to worship him in truth and Spirit (John 4:24). Having confidence that we can do something is trusting that our intended outcome will occur. If you can turn it over to God each day, but continue to direct, you do not have to push that hard at all.
To have success we cannot expect God to do everything. We need to feel responsible for our desire and ask God for help. To attract and create what we want we must be able to feel and release the negative emotions that naturally arise when we really want something and do not get it. When we are right with God, what we want is what God wants for us. To know God’s will for us we must open our hearts and then simply ask ourselves what it is that we want.
