How to Transform Nothing into Something of Value

To transform nothing into something of value, you must first start with ideas and imagination. Now, it might be difficult to consider ideas and imagination as nothing. Yes, they aren’t tangible, but I think an idea that becomes a business, a new vaccine or a miracle product is more than nothing. Think of it, ideas that become so powerful in your mind that they seem real to you, even before they become tangible; and imagination that is so strong, you can actually see it.

The first step to transform nothing into something of value is to imagine all the possibilities. One of the benefits of seminars, sermons, lyrics from songs and testimonials of others is to give you an idea of the possibilities; to help you imagine and see the potential.

The second step is that you must believe that what you imagine is possible for you. Testimonials, such as, “If I can do it, then you can do it,” often become a support to your belief. First, you imagine it’s possible. Second, you start to believe that what’s possible is possible for you.

 “The first step to transform nothing into something of value is to imagine all the possibilities.”

You might also believe in what’s possible for you because of your testimonial. “If I did it once, then I can do it again. If it happened for me before, then it could very well happen again.” Not only do you have the testimonials of others as external support, but also you have the internal support of your testimonial. Now, you ideas and imagination are yet substance, but their tangibility is close.

Step two can also be described as the faith to believe. In fact, one writer said, “Faith is substance.” Substance is an interesting word, the powerful ability to believe in the possibilities that are possible for you. If you have faith to believe that faith is substance, substance meaning “a piece of the real,” then it’s so powerful that it is very close to being real.

The same writer said, “The faith is a piece of, the substance of.” He then calls it evidence, substance and evidence. It is difficult to call substance and evidence “nothing.” They are nothing, in the sense that they cannot be seen, except with the inner eye. You can’t hold them because they aren’t yet tangible. It is possible to transform nothing, especially ideas and imagination, into something of value if you believe that it is now possible for you. Substance and evidence becomes so powerful that they can now be transformed into reality.

The third step to transform nothing into something of value is that you go to work to make it real. You go to work to make it a thriving business, good health, an excellent team, a loving marriage or a powerful movement; you make it tangible. You make it viable. You breathe life into it, and then you construct it. That is such a unique and powerful human ability. Put this to work and start the miracle process today.
