You know I have always believed that the only person that can ruin your day is yourself. I mean others can do things or say things to you that are agravating but when it comes right down to it, only you choose what you are going to focus on that day.
I know a preacher that once told me that you can't help it if birds fly over your head but you don't have to let them roost in your hair.
Today while reading my Bible I read this verse.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
I've never been one who believes that positive thinking changes what happens but I do believe that what you focus on can make a big difference in your ability to handle the bad along with the good.

Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post - the foolproof strategy for moving forward with your dream is to focus on what you want, not what you don't want.
Starting out - I fell into the habit of fearful thinking. That's how it goes here on earth. As I became aware of what happened in my own life - the sky fell on my head a couple of times - I realized, if it is to be, it's up to me.
I literally saw how I had to let go of the predominant thought forms of friends and family and carve a new form out for myself.
I learned to release my own well developed pattern for negative thinking - letting the birds roost in my hair:) - and turned my thoughts to my own vision.
It wasn't easy, and there was no one to discuss this with or share the ups and downs. It was a total inside job - the result, I've become my own best friend and I go into my closet to converse, commiserate and decide what's what.
It works for me.
