Bruce Wilkinson se boeke

~ Toortsie ~ 8 Kommentaar

Op ‘n stadium was ek ‘n Bruce Wilkinson entoesias. Ek het sy boeke behoorlik verslind.

Ons almal onthou Jabes se Gebed. Wat ‘n boek was dit nie! Skielik het ‘n onbekende versie in die Bybel in ‘n gedeelte wat ‘n mens nie maklik lees nie omdat dit net lyste en lyste name is, een van die bekendste versies in die Bybel geraak. (1 Kron 4:9-10) Die Engelse weergawe, The Prayer of Jabez, is steeds by CUM boeke te koop.

‘n Boekie wat vir my selfs meer beteken het, was Die Geheimenis van die Wingerdstok. Wilkinson bekyk in hierdie boekie die storie van die wingerdstok in Johannes 15. Ons hoef nie ‘n lewe van middelmatigheid te lei nie, maar een van oorvloed, waar jy vrug kan dra tot Sy eer. Dit lyk my nie hierdie boekie is meer beskikbaar nie, dalk by ‘n tweedehandse plek?

‘n Lewe wat God beloon, was die derde boek in hierdie reeks. Hier noem Wilkinson iets wat ons amper nie hardop wil sê nie, dat God Sy kinders beloon en dat dit wat ons vandag doen, vir ewig saakmaak. Ek kon ook nie hierdie boekie nou meer raakloop nie.

Die Droomgewer, net so ‘n topverkoper, het ons uitdaag om ‘n treetjie buite ons gemaksone te beweeg, en wanneer ongemaksone weer gemaksone begin raak, die volgende stap te neem buite die nuwe gemaksone. Weer eens het Wilkinson dit reggekry om dit Toortsie te motiveer tot groter geloofspronge, om te waag.

Alhoewel die boeke wat ek hierbo bespreek het, nie meer nuut te koop is nie, wil dit vir my lyk, is hulle wel almal by Bidorbuy beskikbaar.

Toe ek vandag in die Cum-boksie kyk vir ‘n oulike boek om te lees, lê daar sowaar ‘n Bruce Wilkinson boek: Bevryding van Angs en Bekommernis. Ek het dadelik begin lees en die boek het my sommer dadelik geinteresseer, en ek is maar nog net by die inleiding! Moet egter nie bekommerd wees nie, ek kom vertel vir julle binnekort meer. As jy nie so lank wil wag nie, kan jy by CUM inloer en die boek solank kry daar.

Indien jy belangstel in al die boekbesprekings wat ek doen, kan jy by Pinterest loer, of ook hier by my blog.

The fear of success

~ Toortsie ~ 23 Kommentaar

In some inexplicable way I discovered this blog, Good Morning Manifestation, and enjoy every single post that I read. Unfortunately I can’t read every one, but every one that I read has so much to learn. Thank you, Mr ACOsberg!

In this post he writes about the fear of success and oh, I can relate with it! He writes that so many people live with the fear of success and as a result of that, they don’t become the persons they are meant to be. All of us lives in a comfort zone and it is very difficult to try a step outside that zone.

In his book, The Dream Giver, Bruce Wilkinson challenges us to take a step outside our comfort zone. Yes, it really isn’t easy, especially not the first step, but when you start doing this, wonderful things happen!

As ACOsberg writes in his blog post, the first thing we have to do is to admit that we have this fear. I only can talk about myself. While I still denied it, while I still lived comfortably in my comfort zone, everything stayed the same in my old, boring life, but when I admitted the hidden fear, I could address it. What really works for me, is taking small steps. One yes at a time, and the yes must be still comfortable, okay, perhaps a little uncomfortable, but still manageable. Then, when I feel ready for a next little step outside my comfort zone, the one that changed a little bit because of my previous brave step, I take a deep breath and try another tiny step outside my comfort zone. Then, the next one.

And do you know what is happening? I am developing! I develop new skills and self-confidence. I start to believe in myself which cause that I start taking bigger steps and even more bigger steps, and when I look back to years ago to where I have started, I can’t believe that I came so far.

Wilkinson warns us not to become too comfortable in the ‘new’ comfort zone, because then it is time again to try a next step again, and in the process you extend the zone in which you feel comfortable.

Do you have a fear of success? Not? If you have it, take the brave step and admit it. But, even if you don’t have that fear, try a tiny step outside your comfort zone. You’ll be surprised!

Some anonymous person said: Great things never come from comfort zones!

And I have to admit, writing in English on my blog is 3 steps outside my comfort zone. It is getting dangerous out here!
