(Author’s Note: It is Monday 7/17 as I write finalize this post. The day this post goes live, an event will have already happened. I am attempting to keep a positive mind set about what the future holds, but given all the false reassurance from people over the past few years, I am nervous. So here’s to a good event happening this week – whatever it is.)
For the thing that I fear comes upon me,
and what I dread befalls me.Job 3:25
When I saw this verse included in Norman Vincent Peale’s 52 Weeks To A Positive Life, I thought
“Now this is not very positive.”
However, the verse is intended to be a warning. Guard your thoughts. You are what you think you are, you become what you think you will become, you think evil will happen and it will because you reap what you sow. It’s not just the result of your actions that come back to you but the result of your thoughts as well.
It’s like the secret to a good yard – feed the grass. The grass will choke the weeds.
Feed your mind good thoughts and read positive material and you will choke the weeds out of your mind and good things will happen.
