TRAPPED IN THE LIES OF MY MIND
TRAPPED IN THE LIES OF MY MIND
All throughout my life I thought I had a clear vision of my future and thought my mindset was good because of what I had learned from my parents growing up, as well as my religious beliefs. I was raised with the belief that children were to be seen and not heard, except for when I was the entertainment. I could sing and dance so that was something my parents were proud of and loved to show me off.
I always felt something just wasn’t quite right. You know that feeling of something that just doesn’t quite fit? That’s how I felt. I just didn’t quite fit in somehow. There was always that one small piece of the puzzle missing.
I ended up always trying to be someone I’m not because I just wanted to fit in somewhere. That just made me feel more alone and insecure. There always seemed to be one thing that stayed with me all my life and that was God! He gave me a verse and I clung to it (John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It wasn’t until I was introduced to Sandi’s mastermind classes, that I realized it was God that was missing. The God I thought I knew… Sandi opened a whole new world for me, by just being her real self.
Before I started Sandi’s Masterminds classes
I was trapped in the lies my mind was telling me. The constant noise from my past that kept saying you’re not good enough, you’ll fail, you’re not pretty enough. Don’t do this – don’t do that. Too much confusion and chaos that just wouldn’t stop and still haunts me at times today.
Between the things religion and my parents taught me. My mind was constantly playing tricks on me. The one thing that stood out the most was money. It was evil, so I thought. It was selfish, and you had to be greedy with it and keep it for yourself.
It wasn’t till I ran across this pink haired woman online, who called herself a Unicorn… That I realized, I was meant for more. I ended up following her all over Social Media and realized she wasn’t so crazy after all. I mean, how could she be? She raised 3 boys and homeschooled them all. She was in an abusive relationship and became a millionaire. So of course, I wanted to know more about this pink haired woman, who called herself a Unicorn.
I later realized she had a Masterminds class and I had to find a way to get in. No sooner than I made that decision to sign up, here came those thoughts of, that will never happen, I can’t afford it. I felt defeated and just told myself… It’s not for me.
So, I just kept doing what I knew how to do and kept praying for God’s help. Wouldn’t you know it… God kept putting this lady in front of me. Her name is Sandi Krakowski even her name was different and sounded weird to me, but the more I saw her the more I realized I had this connection with her, and I just had to be a part of what she was offering.
Then income tax time came, and I jumped in. The first thing I noticed is… She wasn’t crazy and she loved God- PAPA GOD as she called him. It wasn’t too long after I myself realized; God was PAPA.
That’s not all- Sandi talked about mindset a lot as well and how healing from her past put a different perspective on things she was taught about religious beliefs, abuse, and much more. She always put God first in businesses, raising her children and all other areas of life! I wanted to do this too!
Fast forward to last month June 2019, my birthday month. Sandi opened up a whole new area of mindset and businesses.
The 3 main points I learned –
1. Money isn’t evil it’s meant to be used and shared.
2. We are meant to be successful in all areas of life, and yes, we are deserving of more.
3. We are loved, and we are worthy.
I am slowly releasing from my past and the chains that have bound me. I’m realizing who I am and what I can do when I’m in the right mindset and staying focused. I CAN shut out the noise and become all that PAPA God intended me to be.
What do I expect to happen by applying what I’ve learned?
Well only PAPA knows the outcome of that, but I am going to give it my all! I am hopeful and I look forward to all that Papa has to offer. My dream and my focus are on PAPA God, and Family. Those two things are and should be the most important.
I expect to have a beautiful 2 story country home, with a wraparound porch… A place where I can sit and have my morning coffee with Papa. Enough rooms that both my grandchildren have their own room. I expect to have more than enough money to help others and donate to my favorite charities, which are… The Alzheimer’s Association and the American Cancer Society.
I lost my Dad to dementia December 6, 2015, and a few very dear friends to Cancer. The loss of my Dad totally devastated me. I thought I’d lost my whole world and there was nothing left for me. I just wanted to leave this world myself.
I expect that by applying the concepts from Sandi’s Classes, the future holds so much more than I could ever dream possible!
In conclusions- Why is mindset so important?
Everything in life is based on what we think, how we feel, and how we act or react to everything. If our mindset isn’t right… We will be defeated in everything we set out to do because Our mind will tell us we can’t no matter how much we tell ourselves, we can.
We will continue to stay stuck in victim mode. Being a victim will get us all kinds of attention, but it won’t get us where we want to be. The victim mindset is a poverty mindset, all the things we were taught to protect ourselves from hurt, and pain. The truth is fear lies to us, and all or most of our decisions are based on fear from the past lies.
We need to hear and become all that we were created to be. Step out in our fear and don’t worry about making mistakes. Where there are failures there is successes. Where there is fear, there is faith. Where there are lies there is truth, and the truth will set us free.
A poverty mindset believes it doesn’t deserve anything. It believes money is evil. It believes we are not worthy or deserving to have anything more in life. When in truth Papa God says we are deserving… We are worthy… We are loved… We are worth so much more.
We MUST heal from past hurts, pains, and we MUST break the curses from our past.
