How To be a Man or Woman of Conviction

As a man or woman you have to have a firm conviction about what is true about your life or life in general.

For you to amount to anything in life your have to be fully given to a particular belief or opinion about any thing that means or will mean anything to you.

You are your convictions. What forms your beliefs directs your life.

You cannot act better than what you believe.

What you believe fashions your mentality, your mentality sponsors your actions and your action furnishes your life; because you are what you do.

Having the right convictions will be discussed in another post (please look out for it). This post is to reveal to you the importance of having a conviction and how to have or build it.

It is better to have a wrong conviction or persuasion about anything than not to have any at all. Because a person with a wrong conviction can be persuaded otherwise.

But a man without conviction is vulnerable to abuse; what's more, he will be tossed to and fro by every wind of deceit that will be presented to him or her.

Such a one can be used for all kinds of social menace you can think of.

Here are the highlights of being a man or woman of conviction:

You will have control over what you want to hear or receive from anyone or the media.
Your convictions shapes your thoughts even as they are shaped by your thoughts.
You will have a say on who and who will be an authority over your life. Cause who you allow to be an authority over your life will shape you.
You will know who and what you would trust. Words that profits you are not the words you hear, they are the words you've chose to listen to, and the words you have chosen to listen to are words that comes from those you trust.

Now here is how to become a man or woman of conviction.

Take a leap of faith and accept that system of belief you are convicted about.
Gain sufficient knowledge in that belief system or opinion.
Arm yourself in relationships with people having the same persuasions as you have accepted.
Walk daily in the truth and light of your new found conviction.

Let me give you a practical example:

I took a leap of faith many years ago to become a believer in Christ Jesus
Then I started to gain sufficient knowledge about my faith in Jesus
I surrounded myself with people of same persuasion
I walk daily by the grace of Jesus in the light of the truth I had found. Now I am fully persuaded by my faith.
