how would you define your great life

Asks Joyce Meyer on pg. 55, Chapter 4, of her book Power Thoughts that I have just begun to work through. I've attempted to make myself fully available to her questions. And, I've come to some powerful conclusions about how to change my thinking and bear more fruit in my life.

I have learned that if I want to be like Christ, I must enter into the process of renewing my mind. That's right, the process of disciplining myself to identify a lie and seek God for the truth, in that place.

I've learned that a man's behavior follows his thoughts.

I've learned that you can train your mind to work for you and trust that God's truth is more powerful than any fear.

But as I have come to pg. 55, I'm quite stumped.
I keep asking myself over and over what a great life is for me. I....just....don't know.

I know I love Adam and he loves me.
I know I belong to God and He has a plan for every moment of my life.
I have dreams and goals.
We are approaching a vision for our future.
But, I just keep coming back to....a great life.
What does that mean for me?

What does that mean for you?

If I had to guess how my best friend would answer this question, perhaps she would say that your life is in the journey. I think she would tell me that enjoying each moment and viewing each hurdle as beneficial is what makes life great. I think she would tell me that what's great, is choosing to open your mind to greatness.
