Life is composed of a series of “if, then” statements. If you do this, then that will be the outcome. The positive aspect is that God has granted us free will, allowing us to choose our own “if, then” statements.
When I attended college, I understood that if I took certain courses and achieved specific grades, then I would graduate in 4 years. I adhered to that statement, and indeed, I obtained my degree. I realize that I can apply this approach to anything I wish to accomplish in life.
Therefore, all I need to do is identify my goals and determine the necessary steps to achieve them. It is important to note that “if, then” statements yield different outcomes when negated.
For instance, “If you do not take the correct classes and fail to obtain passing grades, you will not graduate.” By examining both our successes and failures, we can make the necessary adjustments in our lives. Success can be assured, as can failure. The choice, ultimately, rests with you.
