What to Think About

Heard this today and it was a good reminder.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Here’s why it was a good reminder. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, for no particular reason. Just grumpy, frustrated, etc. That’s no fun.

Then, I heard the verse at church shortly afterward. The context was, how we have the ability to decide what to think about. We can focus on the junk, the negatives, and pretty much any other thought that will lead to defeat, be in short or long term.

We also have the option to thing about the type of things mentioned at the beginning of this post. Things that will lead us to a place of joy and peace, if we are willing to think about them instead of the other stuff.

This was good timing for me. Maybe it is for you. Here’s to focusing on the good instead of the not-so-good.

Have a great day.

Here’s a story about a guy who did the right thing, and is now reaping the benefits of doing so. Way to go!

Right Things, Right Way

What’s Right

It’s hard to see what’s right or good about something if you’re focused on what’s wrong with it or not so good about it.

Your actions will follow your thoughts so make them positive ones, not negative. Think victory, not defeat.

Perspective is so important. It turns neutral situations into good ones or bad ones, depending on which way we choose to look at them.

Just a reminder to myself today…and anyone else who might benefit from it 🙂

Have a good day, friends.
