Someone came with an investment opportunity the other day. âThe other dayâ is 2 years ago but Iâll still refer to it as the other day. I was skeptical and for good reason. I had âlostâ tens of thousands to a prior investment. âLostâ in quotation marks because my hope for recovery is still strong.
I presented this new investment opportunity to my maker in prayer, inquiring if *His hand was inside* because I didnât want a repeat of what happened pre-2020. His response was a simple one-liner, âIf thereâs bad, there must be goodâ.
It felt like a game of tennis, and the ball was now in my court.
If thereâs bad, there must be good. It didnât take too long for me to figure it out.
Bad things were in many cases a corrupt/substandard version of a good thing.
Good was the point of reference for bad, so if a bad thing existed, there had to be the good reference point of it.
In my investment analogy, bad investments meant that there were good ones, and one bad experience did not invalidate the possibility of a good one. I loved it and I gradually extended this thinking to everything.
If there were bad friends, there had to be good friends.
If there were bad days, there had to be good days.
If there were bad marriages, there had to be good marriages.
I would go on to learn that we attract only what we believe is available to us. Itâs one thing to know that something exists, itâs another to believe that itâs available to us.
So if in our minds we believed that everyone was bad and there were no good friends in life, we would only have bad, back-stabbing friends for the rest of our lives.
If we believed life was hard and every day was a hustle, we would go through life fighting daily, hustle battles.
If we believed there were no good marriages, and all marriages were a sham, we would go through life with that as our reality, and invariably pass that mindset on to our children.
We attract only what we believe is available to us.
All of GODâs BEST is available to me.
