Truckers and Travelers

Hello, Fellow Truckers!  Today I want to write to you about your imagination and starting a trucking business.  There are two things that have brought you to the place where you are right now and that is what you think about yourself and what you say about yourself.  I want to write to you today about the first one, what you think about yourself.  There have been a lot of books written on the subject of meditation.  It’s been mostly from a spiritual take.  But in order to start a trucking business or have a thriving trucking business, you must begin with an idea of yourself or imagining yourself thriving in the trucking business.  Meditation is simply forming an idea in your mind about something you want in life.  If you see yourself starting a trucking business and see it also thriving you will achieve just that.  You might be asking me, “But how do you do that?  I have a difficult time seeing myself successful.”  Let me give you a real life example.

About 15 years ago, I had to sell a piece of property in a short amount of time.  I was in a place in my life that required a change.  This property was my primary residence.  One day I was reading about biblical faith and what it meant to walk by faith.  Please don’t click out of this site just because I mention this and you happen to be of another belief.  Humor me for another quick moment, if you would.  After I read about speaking things that be not as thought they were (Romans 4:17), I decided to give it a try in my pending situation.  It was 9:15 AM on a Sunday and I began to walk around my dining room table praying to God that my property needed to sell.  I began to declare that my property was sold.  I could actually see it done in my mind’s eye.  At 10:00 AM, the phone rang and it was my realtor calling to tell me that I had an offer for my property from two ladies in California.  They wanted to buy it sight unseen for a little less than my asking price (a typical real estate barter).  They also indicated that they would buy it for cash.  I am here to tell you, and I have kept the paperwork on this experience as a reminder that God does honor faith.  The property closed one month later and I walked away with cash in my pocket on the deal. 

How does this apply to you and starting a trucking business?  Begin to see yourself having favor with a truck finance company to buy your new or used truck.  Begin to see yourself with steady customers and a thriving trucking business.  You actually will see that your decision will begin to line up with what you think.  You will also see that your actions will do that same. 

So, to start a trucking business and make it successful, you must start with an idea and meditate on that idea so that your decisions and actions follow what you see in your mind’s eye.  I once read an old saying when I was in my teens.  It goes like this: ”If you can dream it, you can achieve it.”.  Tomorrow’s blog will deal with saying what you see in your mind’s eye.  Stay tuned!!  Be safe out there!
