Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hi there, mauritiana here, founder of the Mindsite
Academy and host Only to Excelpodcast.
I'm back with another scripturescience teaching, and today's
an interesting one.
But before we get into it, haveyou subscribed to this podcast?

(00:28):
If you haven't, click thebutton below, subscribe, and I
hope you like this podcast sothat at the end, or even before
the end, you click on the likebutton.
So you know this.
Saying seeing is believing.
Now what if I tell you thatthat's actually not the case,

(00:55):
that it's actually the other wayaround?
Now, it all starts with avision.
You have a vision of somethingor a dream of what you want.
The next step is helping faith,having faith about that vision.

(01:15):
And what is faith?
Faith is your ability to trustin God without seeing.
Now, when you've got the vision, you build the faith.
Now, the vision, as a Christian, comes from God, a desire, a
dream.
You want your purpose.

(01:36):
Where are you going Then?
Having the faith to reallytrust in God to get you to that
place, to achieve that vision.
It's this faith that then givesbirth to belief.
And how this occurs is when youtrust, when you have that faith

(01:57):
in God and you keep focusing onthat faith, what it does is
that it creates neural pathwaysin your brain that enables you,
you know, keep going back tothat information.
So you build a trust that Ibelieve that I can do all things

(02:17):
through Christ, who strengthensme.
The more you're repeating this,trusting on what God can do and
what he's already done in thepast, it creates the neural
pathways that will keepreminding you, that will keep
opening your eyes, to also seethe opportunities and those

(02:37):
wiring.
The more they connect.
This is saying that neuronsthat fire together wire together
.
So the more these neurons arefiring, they are wire in and
they will become so intricateand become your default,
actually.
And that's where the belief isthen formed.

(03:00):
So you can see that you don'thave to see to believe.
You've got to believe first,because it's the belief that
then enables you to see thevision in your mind.
It's then you'll be able topicture it and you'll be able to
take actions to bring you tothe reality of that vision.

(03:24):
So the vision is created.
Then you develop the faith thatcreates the belief, and it's
the belief that then enables youto see it, first of all in your
mind's eye and then the realityof it.
So believing is seeing.
I'm not seeing is believing,and it really comes down to the

(03:50):
fact that it's about having adeep you know.
It's about having a belief thatis so deeply rooted that you
can't help but keep going, keeppushing to achieve that reality
of what it is you want, toactually enable it unfold before

(04:12):
your eyes by the actions you'retaking.
And you know there's somethingthat I always say that your
brain will answer the questionsthat you ask it.
So the more you're building upthis belief and you then create
the picture in your brain aboutwhat you want to see, about the

(04:33):
vision that you're then seeing,the imagination, the creating
the vision, and you have thepath in which you're going to go
, the actions you're going totake, that's what will really
enable you stay focused, managethose expectations, be in
control of where you're going sothat when the opportunities

(04:57):
come, when your brain presentsyou with the opportunities, or
when the opportunities come,your brain will enable you see
them.
Because if you don't focus onthat thing you want, even when
it comes, you're going to missit because you're focusing on
something else, maybe focusingon what you don't have, focusing

(05:18):
on the problems or thechallenges that you're going to
face to achieve it or focus onwhat you don't have.
When you focus on those things,that's exactly what you're
going to get.
So it's really important tochange that narrative and come
back to the fact that believingis seeing.

(05:40):
You've got to believe first,and the belief comes from the
rewiring, because it's therepetition that rewires the
brain, and the more you rewirethe brain that becomes.
That actually is what drivesyour behavior, because when you
rewire the brain, it thencreates a behavior pattern in
you, and that behavior could betaking specific actions.

(06:03):
It could be learning a skill,it could be starting the
business, taking a course,getting a coach, setting up a
website, whatever it is, butstaying focused so that you're
taking the appropriate steps toget you to where you want to be.
I would like to take a briefbreak from this enriching

(06:24):

Okay, let's jump back into ourbrain busting journey.

(09:21):
So our behaviors and beliefscan change, evolve and
strengthen, and we have thepower to completely rewire our
brain, and our behavior andbeliefs change from what we give
our brain to have.
So the narrative or the storyor what you tell your brain is

(09:45):
what it will believe, and for aChristian, it's that faith in
God that I can do this.
That's the first thing toreally get the brain in the
right mindset.
I believe I can do this becauseI can do all things through
Christ, who strengthens me andthen leading you to then going
to achieve the reality of whatyou want.

(10:06):
So I hope this has reallyblessed you and I really
challenge you to start puttinginto action those things you
want, knowing that your beliefis what would enable you to see
the reality of what you want.
