You will possess where you walk

    Jos 1:3-4 MKJV  Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread
    upon, I have given that to you, as I said to Moses.  

The places where I choose to walk will determine the places that I end up
possessing.

If you see your life as a journey through a land, then every second that ticks
by, is one step that you take.  You cannot avoid taking this step.  You take
the step, and you put your foot somewhere.  There where you put it,
becomes yours.  You have created it.  You have made something, which was
not a part of your life before, a part of your life now.  You have created a
new memory, built a piece of a new skill, maybe established a new
relationship, or maybe broken down an old one, maybe begun developing a
skill, or improved an existing one.  Whatever you have done, have built
something into your life.  

Every step that you take, becomes irreversibly part of that “land” which is
your life.  If you choose to always keep walking along the same familiar
paths, your land will remain as small as it is.  You will not build a bigger land.  
You will not possess more.

If you choose to always go walking around in areas that are like deserts and
rock-lands for you, that is what you will possess.  

Wander in the direction you want your life to grow

But if you think about what it is that you want to build in your life, and you
choose, whenever you have a moment, to walk in those directions, even if it
is just in your thoughts, then you begin to build the land that you want.  
Every time you pick up something, and read about something that is truly
interesting and important to you, you build a piece in the direction of the life
you want.

You can never erase the past

Every moment you allow thoughts of negativity, weariness, boredom, to fill
your mind, you are building those into your life.  You cannot remove them.  
Do not spend your energy trying to erase the effects of the past.  This you
cannot do.  If it’s in your life once, learn to live with it.

When you look at a land, you see green jungle, rivers, deserts; all of these
are part of that land, and together, they form the beauty of the land.  So it is
in your life.  What is behind you, you cannot change.  Some things in your
life have created those deserts.  Maybe sometimes, you need to go walk in
those deserts again, to be reminded of certain things.  But do not dwell
there, do not keep walking in the desert, for eventually you will begin to
believe that your whole life is a desert. (Unless, of course, you like the
desert.)

Choose every day, to spend some time, even if you start just in your
thoughts and imagination, to walk on a piece of land you haven’t walked
before, which you want to possess.  Over time, you will be surprised at the
land you will begin to possess!
Walk the Land you Want to Possess
