Dr. Creflo Dollar's new book is called, 8 Steps to Create the Life You Want -- The Anatomy of a Successful Life and in it Dr. Dollar thoroughly explains how paying attention to these 8 steps will change your life. He explains that people already follow these steps daily and the life you currently live is the sum total of how you have unknowingly implemented these 8 steps. The "cure" (if you are living a life you don't want,) is to start giving greater heed to the first step and then the process will carry on from there.
The book very carefully details these 8 steps, but I can give you a brief synopsis. Here is the dynamic: The words that you listen to determine how you think, your thinking determines how you feel, your feelings determine your decisions, your decisions determine your actions, your actions determine what becomes your habits, your habits create your character and your character determines your outcome or destiny.
If you think about it, this makes lots of sense. I can give an example of when I was a freshman in college. I remember moving to Atlanta and the first song I heard when I got to Atlanta was a very sexually suggestive song singing to a woman about how the singer wanted to do all kinds of sexual things in all kinds of places with this woman. This song became one of my favorites. Everytime it was on the radio I turned it up loud, when I saw the music video I pay close attention, I learned the words and sung them to myself. The words I was getting were sexually driven. So those "words" determined how I thought about sex. I wanted to do all kinds of sexual things with women in all different places. So my thinking began to dictate my emotions, and eventually how I felt about the subject began to determine what I did. I would pursue women and eventually I would convince them to do all kinds of sexual things in different places. So my actions determined what my habits were. I had a habit of being sexually promiscuous. And that became part of my character and the outcome or destination was different drama I had to deal with, (though I say I was "luckier" than most in that same situation.)
In this book, Creflo Dollar is saying to get the right words (the Word of God from the Bible) and spend more time with the right words and then from there you can literally create the life you want. I encourage you to get this book and read it. But don't stop at reading it. Do it, apply it, follow the recipe.... "bake the pound cake," and see if you can start in the right direction creating the life you want.
