In Harbin, China once (At Heilongjinag International University, where I taught and lived) I was feeling like a victim of certain attacks. But the Holy Spirit kept bothering me to read, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. And I got so encouraged reading it because he convinced me I had, not in so many words, an internal locus of control.
It took years of God's interventions and people's help to uproot victim mentality from my life, but thank God it's happened.
The more I interact with Jesus, the more I come away believing I have the ability to utterly crush my goals and win.
Something about interacting with Jesus makes people intensely bold, confidant, and unstoppable.
