Whatever We Focus On, We Become

Whatever we focus on, we become. Wherever we put our energies or our attention, those things will develop. If you begin to think about ice cream, you will soon find yourself in the car headed for ice cream. Your thoughts stir your desires and emotions and then you make the decision to follow them.

If we focus only on the negative things in life, we become negative people. Everything, including our conversations, becomes negative. We soon lose our joy and live miserable lives and it all started with our negative thinking!

You might be experiencing some problems in life, not realizing that you are creating them yourself by what your choosing to think about. You might be discouraged and even depressed and wonder what caused it. Yet if you will examine your own thought life, you will find that you are feeding negative emotions you are feeling. Negative thoughts are fuel for discouragement, depression and many other unpleasant emotions. We can think about what is wrong with our lives and the people in them or we can think about what is right with them. God wants us to always believe the best. When we do that, it makes our own lives happier and more peaceful
