POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK (Week 6)

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF LIFE
Your thoughts are the building blocks of life.  You build your future thought by thought.

Most people are clueless about how to make a life.  For them, life just happens.  From the time they get up in the morning to the time they go to bed at night, they are adrift on an Ocean of Ignorance.  They don't design their life; it simply happens by default.  They lose the opportunity to build the life of their dreams.

A few people build their lives on great thoughts.  These folks know that the thoughts they put into their mind create the foundation for their dreams.  Life happens one thought at a time, and they want to choose their thoughts.

These are the types of thoughts that they select:

1.  Thoughts of excellence
2.  Thoughts of love
3.  Thoughts of joy
4.  Thoughts of greatness
5.  Thoughts of abundance
6.  Thoughts of God's favor and love
7.  Thoughts of strength
8.  Positive thoughts

These are the building blocks for their lives.  It's no wonder that they live their dreams, because these are the thoughts from which dreams are made.

Don't waste your life in default mode.  The thought factory is always open, and you can select any type of thoughts.  Choose your thoughts well and make your life into an awesome adventure.

There is no limit to how good your life can become.

POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK (Week 5)

I DON'T BELIEVE IN SUCCESS

I don't believe in success, but I do believe in excellence.

The biggest problem with success is I don't know what it is, and it's hard to hold on to.  It's like a wet bar of soap that keeps sliding out of my hands.  Just when I think I have success, away it goes.

Excellence is different.  Everyone can instantly recognize excellence, and it's an attainable goal.

I believe that God has given everyone the ability to achieve excellence in at least one area of their life.  God has programmed people so that they feel good about themselves when then develop an area of excellence.  Mediocrity doesn't feel right.  When you pursue mediocrity, you feel like you are wasting your life.

My goal is to pursue excellence in whatever I do.  I don't think about my work in terms of success.  Instead, my total focus is on excellence.  Success comes and goes, but excellence lasts forever.

POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK (Week 4)

THERE IS NO LIMIT TO HOW GOOD MY LIFE CAN BECOME

When I hear people talk about God's plan for their life, there's frequently a feeling of apprehension embedded in the discussion.  The unspoken fear is that God wants to make you do something that you don't want to do, and He has a plan to send you to some obscure part of the planet.  You're sure that if you follow His plan, you'll end up in Bongo Congo doing things that you don't want to do.  They regard God as the Omnipresent Killjoy bent on ruining their life.

I'm not sure why people are so apprehensive.  God never did anything to make people feel that way.  If you ever end up in Bongo Congo, it will be because that's where you wanted to go.  God can use  you anywhere, even in Bongo Congo.

God doesn't do bad things to people.  People do bad things to people.

God has a dream for your life that is better than anything you can imagine.  And you don't have to twist God's arm to make that dream come true.  God wants it to happen even more than you do.  God needs people like you and me, and He needs all of your talents and abilities.  You don't need to grovel and scrape before God.  You are one of his children, and the reason He gave you those talents and abilities is because He is going to use them to bless His world.

God's arms of love are your arms.  God's heart of love is your heart.  God's voice of love is your voice.  God songs of love are the songs that you write and sing.

You don't need to worry about whether God has a plan for your life.  All you need to do is get in agreement with Him and start living the plan.  Jesus said seek and you will find, ask and it will be given to you, knock and the door will be opened.  God isn't holding anything back.  The problem isn't him.  The problem is us.

God wants to use us in a big way.  He wants us to live large for his kingdom.  You only get one life, and God wants to make it into a great one.
