Do you ever hear a voice inside your head that tries to convince you not to move forward and take a risk? The level of risk is usually inconsequential. It could be starting a conversation with a person you've just met Cheap Air Max 93 , it could be making a cold call, it could starting a new task, a new adventure or even a new business. Each and every day you are faced with plenty of risks.
One moment you can picture yourself achieving some form of greatness, and the next moment you can find yourself listening to a voice that proclaims no matter what you do, greatness will always elude you. Sometimes it is other people Cheap Air Max 90 , who discourage you from moving forward, but far too often it's the troublemakers inside your head that convince you to remain dormant and accept things the way they are.
Years ago, while reading a familiar story with my youngest daughter, I had several insights that I had failed to notice previously. Keep in mind that whether you think the story factual or not, it is completely equipped with truth. The story is that of Nehemiah. Look how Nehemiah's story shows the power in doing the UNreasonable to achieve extraordinary results.
Nehemiah was a captive Jew Cheap Air Max 720 , who was a cup bearer to the Persian King, Artaxerxes (pronounced are-ta-zerk-zees). One day one of Nehemiah's relatives comes to visit him, and Nehemiah asks how things in Jerusalem are going. The relative tells him that the people are miserable and the city is in ruins. Nehemiah is deeply saddened by the news ? so much so that the next time he brings King Artaxerxes his drinking cup, the King notices his despondence and asks why he's so sad. Although he feels fearful to tell the King why, he does anyway. (Yes Cheap Air Max 360 , he feels the fear but does it anyway!) To his surprise the King asks how he can be of help. Would you believe this simple cup bearer, this captive Jew exhibits no restraint and requests that he be allowed to go to the city of his ancestors and help rebuild its walls? And if that isn't amazing enough, his request is granted!
Upon his arrival in Jerusalem, Nehemiah encourages a great number of people to help him. But once they all get started, some troublemakers encounter them. These troublemakers mock and jeer them. ?Can you rebuild this place in the wink of an eye? Can you make good buildings out of old burned rubble? Hey Cheap Air Max 270 , if a fox climbed on what you're building, it would fall down!? Guess what happened? Nehemiah and his friends paid no attention to those troublemakers!
When the wall was about half built, the troublemakers were determined that the wall would never be finished. They even planned to harm the builders if necessary. However, Nehemiah's enthusiasm was unstoppable. He roused up the workers to build by day and guard the walls by night until everything could be completed.
But the troublemakers had still another plan ? they sent Nehemiah an enticing invitation to come to a special gathering. Nehemiah sent back a message that his work was too important to leave right now. Four times such invitations were sent. Each time Nehemiah resisted temptation and refused to go.
Then Nehemiah received a letter accusing him of planning to make himself king and telling him that he was in for a great deal of trouble. Did he take time to defend himself? NO - he saw this letter and accusation as just another form of trickery. No threats or tricks could keep Nehemiah from doing his good work, and because of that Cheap Air Max 2019 , the walls of Jerusalem were built in a very short period of time.
Nehemiah was just a cup bearer and a captive Jew at that. He lacked prestige, money and even freedom, yet this man's request to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem was granted. UNreasonable requests yield UNreasonable results. If you restrict yourself to ordinary, reasonable requests, you become a captive of a plain and ordinary life. Request the UNreasonable and live an extraordinary life.
Getting past the troublemakers inside your own head Cheap Air Max 2018 Elite , whose job seems to be leading you astray, requires infinite alertness and persistence. Nehemiah was not a cup bearer; he was a great leader. Nehemiah was not a captive; he expressed the ultimate freedom in rising above perceived limitations to pursue and achieve one's deepest desire. Nehemiah, knew to let nothing keep him from his desire. He didn't worry about insulting thoughts or words, he didn't fear the pain he might endure, he resisted temporary pleasures Cheap Air Max 2018 , and he avoided all involvement with hearsay, and he paid no attention to troublemakers in order to stay on task and fulfill a dream. And remember ? his dream was accomplished in a very short period of time.
How many times have you planned how to move yourself ahead in your business, only to be stopped by those troublemakers inside your own head that say, "you just don't have the courage, you just don't have enough time Cheap Air Max 2 Uptempo , you just don't have enough energy.? Oh to have the faith in yourself that Nehemiah had! What fortress would you build if you guarded your thoughts and saw through the trickery of those sneering troublemakers inside your head that say you can't?
