Going For It

"It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."
-W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)
English writer

Keeping Your Mind Positively Full

"I keep the telephone of mind open to peace, harmony, health, love and abundance. Then whenever doubt, anxiety, or fear try to call me, they will keep getting a busy signal and soon they'll forget my number." -Edith Armstrong

I have cleared from my mind negative thoughts and images. How? By watching what I put before my eyes and what I allow my ears to hear. To stay totally positive and have an attitude that radiates positive thoughts, we have to keep our mind full of 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 are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

We can not underestimate the influence our thoughts have on our lives. What we allow to occupy our mind will eventually influence our speech and actions. Paul speaking in Philippians was exhorting us to "think on these things" but then followed it up with the next verse (v.9) "Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."

When you add up all those virtues from both verses you can't help but produce a wholesome thought pattern , which in turn will result in a life of moral and spiritual excellence.

The Green Grass Of Success

I was listening to a sermon the other day and the preacher was talking about the old saying of the grass being greener somewhere else. Why is it that the grass seems greener over there or during that period in history? His answer, because they water their grass!

I started thinking more deeply about this grass being greener simply because someone took the time to water it. But beautiful lawns don't just happen. They have to be fertilized and weeded. So I thought, how does this relate to success?

Successful people don't just install automatic sprinklers and think they do not have to do anything else. They don't just put it on automatic, they invest in their projects and goals and dreams. Successful people weed out negativity and discouragement. Sure, they get discouraged- they just don't dwell on it. When an obstacle or a set back occurs, they weed it out as quickly as possible, before it has a chance to grow deep roots, take hold, spread and multiply. This is what stops most people from reaching their goals and realizing their dreams.

But successful people weed out these things and quickly fertilize their goal or dream with positive thoughts, quick action and new ideas or methods. They persevere! Successful people will not allow any brown spots on their green grass of success. Unsuccessful people allow many brown spots and dead areas in their lives. When a sprinkler breaks, they don't bother to fix it. They let adversity and discouragement kill off another dream or goal.

Successful people are so in tuned to their goal or dream that even when all sprinklers are watering their green grass of success, if they notice even one tiny area of their dream or goal turning brown and starting to die, they get out water hose of determination and vision, and water that area by hand to keep their dream alive!
