087: Brian Houston on There Is More and Developing a Bulletproof Belief System

Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right.” That’s the power of belief. And it’s so much greater than positive thinking. It’s a deep-seeded sense of personal significance; significance that will be the breeding ground for determination, focused effort, perseverance, and a commitment to become your best for those that matter most in your life. You see, life, ultimately, isn’t about building something. Instead, it’s about building someone.

At this point, many of you may be thinking, not for me. It’s too late. And worse, I’m too late. But allow me to counter by saying this: there is more for your life than whatever you’re currently facing. And even if you’re already living a success-filled life, there is more.

That’s why, joining me today, is Brian Houston, global senior pastor of Hillsong Church. And today, we’re talking all about developing a resilient spirit in the face of pain and hardship, overcoming disappointment, and establishing your life for significance; significance characterized by these words and the title his brand-new book: there is more.
