happen in the future: the ultimate agency that predetermines the course of
events."

How To Replace Your Belief System
By Michael A. Verdicchio
Many years ago, I heard the statement, "Replace every negative thought with two
or three positive thoughts." That is good, solid advice. Negative thoughts
produce negative results. Positive thoughts produce positive results. Let's look
at this a little further as it relates to our belief systems. If a self employed
Christian consistently thinks of himself as a failure, then he is consistently
building a failure belief system. The degree to which that belief system is
reinforced will be consistently evidenced in his life.

self employed Christians would agree that it is very important to be very clear

courses and seminars highly encourage you to write down your goals and dreams,
and to be very specific. It is indeed a huge key.

Opposite Thoughts
By Michael A. Verdicchio
Self employed Christians, like everyone else, set the course for their lives by
the thoughts that they think. You can absolutely be a successful self employed
Christian by thinking the right thoughts. What we think about, dwell on
and focus on will always set the course for our lives, whether it is positive or
negative, success or failure, victory or defeat. But amazingly, few people know
and understand this and even fewer believe it. Believe it or don't believe it;
the battle will always take place in the mind.
