There Is Power In Positive Thinking
There Is Power In Positive Thinking
ByYou have the choice of whether you dwell on the positive or negative in your life. I believe that if you focus on fear and failure then you will bring more of that into your life.
Timothy 1:7 tells us that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.”
We should boldly encourage ourselves and focus on things that are positive to us. One way to change negative thoughts is: for the next two or three days, carry around a small note pad and every time you get a negative thought or emotion, write it down.
When you write down your negative thoughts, next to it write down a positive statement to counteract it. Essentially what you are doing is training your mind to think a positive thought every time you think a negative thought. Positive thoughts are 100 times more powerful than negative thoughts.
I use to be the worst at focusing on the negative. For instance, if I walked into a room and someone didn’t speak to me or acknowledge me, It would set a downward spiral for my thoughts for the next few moments. I would assume that people didn’t like me.
Then one day as I became older and more matured, I came to the realization that I was focusing on the wrong thing. I realized that the world would be a better place if we all had the “what can I do for you” mind-set rather than thinking what everyone else can do for us.
You will be surprised at the number of negative thoughts we have in just one day. I encourage you my friend to make a commitment to change your thoughts because it will make a world of difference in your life.
We are the sons and daughters of the most high God; it is not His intentions for us to walk around looking for a pity party, saying “whoa it’s me.” He wants us to be a light and an example for men to follow. He wants us to be encouraged in His name. Encourage yourself and someone else today as you go through your life journey.
