Think About This

"...Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." (Philippians 4:8b) NLT

 

In the last blog article we talked about the need to control our tongue. As part of that, I brought out the fact that, the only way to control our TONGUE was to control our THOUGHTS.

 

You control your thoughts by deciding what you ALLOW in your mind!

 

That's right...what YOU allow.

 

Now, I understand that sometimes things get in that we don't want to have in our mind but, for the most part, we can keep those kinds of thoughts out. Even if an unwanted thought sneaks in, we can OVERCOME and OVERWHELM that particular thought with positive thoughts and positive thinking.

 

YOU are in charge of what is in there (your mind). YOU!

 

Become "top-notch serious" about defending that space between your ears, friend, and see what happens.

 

Control your thoughts and you control your words. Control your words and you control your relationships. You control your relationships and you control your world.

 

I understand that some of you may be thinking that you cannot control all of your relationships. I'll give you that because it is a struggle to even know what relationships are actually good for you. So, yeah, I get that.

 

Too, don't take the word "control" and apply it in an incorrect way. I'm not talking about "making" people do what you want or be what you want.

 

I DO mean that you have the ability to - over time - have a positive influence over ALL of your relationships if you stick with it. Some will take longer and some won't take long at all.

 

What are you allowing in your mind? Look at the graphic and also notice the scripture beneath the graphic. They are both very similar in what they say. Now, be honest with yourself and do a quick check to see how many of those things listed you actually think about very often.

 

Replace the drama, the stress and the negativity with more thoughts of kindnes, being honorable and inspiring. Don't you wish everyone that you know would do that as well?

 

Let it start with you...let it start with you.

 

Think about it.

 

And, as you do so, be sure to...

Words Live on Forever

 

“Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.”
Og Mandino
1923-1996, Author

 

WOW! Powerful words that still live on today even though many years have passed by since the death of Mr. Og Mandino.

 

Words that still have an impact on anyone and everyone that reads (or perhaps hears if this was said in a recorded speech that he made at some point) them and shares them.  Hey, not only am I sharing them here, I also posted this quote on my Facebook page. Why? Because I think they are powerful and important for each of us to consider and implement in our lives.

 

Words live on forever. That, my friend, is a fact. Even the unwritten word lives on forever in the minds of those who heard them whether kind or unkind, true or untrue, sweet or sour.

You see, you leave a legacy even with the words that you speak. I hope, like me, that it causes you to stop and choose a little more carefully the words that you speak and/or write because, indeed, they will live on forever.

 

What kind of legacy will YOUR words leave behind? Here’s a hint: the same legacy that they are leaving behind even today.

 

But the good news is that you CAN change what happens from this point on regardless of what legacy has been left up to this time. Sure, it will be an uphill battle but don’t you want to leave a POSITIVE legacy? Don’t you want to leave words behind that ENCOURAGE and LIFT UP those that hear/read them now and for years to come?

 

Sure you do.

 

Start now, right now and make it your mission to leave a powerful legacy that will be a blessing to those for years to come. You CAN do it!
