Thinking Affects everything.
I've been studying that fact the past few weeks. Yesterday, I had a good reminder that "Thinking affects everything." is a true statement.
If I begin the day, with a positive outlook, the day goes much better. I am better equipped to handle situations that arise.
If I begin the day, with a negative outlook, the day continues to be overwhelming, nothing goes right, and when situations arise, I handle them the wrong way, and the day ends up with a pity party with me feeling miserable.
Thinking affects everything.
There are some things that are out of my control. However, I can control my thoughts—and those control my attitude.
So, what kind of day do I want to have:
1. A positive and enjoyable day.
2. One filled with resentment, frustration, and overall misery.
I can't control the circumstances, but I can control my thoughts, attitudes, and actions. And if I find myself in the need of an attitude adjustment—the quickest way it to refocus on God's Word and truth, either by reading the Bible, or listening to music (filled with truth).
Thinking affects everything.
I will choose to think on......
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8
