Which comes first, feeling blessed or the blessing…

It’s hard to say, which comes first, feeling blessed or being blessed.  I can tell you this, and it is a fact, not theory; the more blessed I FEEL, the more blessed I AM.  Now this may seem like fluff or wishful thinking, but it is an absolute fact.  My default setting is “now what? See?  I told you it would all go to hell!”  And for many years that is exactly how my life went.  I would expect things to not work out, things wouldn’t work out, and I would confirm to myself how on point I was about how crappy things work out for me.  Then, as an assignment in school, I started expecting things to work out, ON PURPOSE.  Every time my head would start telling me how bad things were going to be, I would reframe and think how blessed things will turn out.  One thing at a time, my life was getting blessed.  Business challenges getting resolved, financial situations turning around, relationships growing in a blessed direction.  Even now, my default negativity will sneak up on me and things will start a downward spiral.  I will change my mind and things start go right again.  Make what you will of it, but I am an absolute believer!  My challenge to you is to think in a blessed direction ON PUROSE and see what happens.  It is a little harder than you expect it to be, especially if you have a negative default, but it is so worth it.  Just try it, let me know what happens.  If you don’t follow through, you can’t say it doesn’t work.  Try it, let me know what happens!  Good thoughts produce good results, promise!
