“A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s
strength.” – Proverbs 17:22
Have you ever wanted to do something but had second thoughts about it? Something was holding you back? I’m pretty sure it happened to all of us. In fact, it still does. It’s perfectly normal, we are human after all. But it’s not healthy. Your negative thoughts can keep you from doing what you love.
It can
also take your joy away.
“For God has not
given us a spirit of fear and timidity,
but of power, love, and self-discipline.”-2
Timothy 1:7
It’s time for you to get up and say: “Enough is enough. I’m going to stop
thinking this way and start thinking more positively. I’m going to start doing
things that I always wanted to do but couldn’t because these thoughts were
holding me back.”
“You were never created to live
depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. You were created
to be victorious.”
It won’t be easy at first. Those
negative thoughts will try to stop you, but once you train your brain to be
more optimistic and actually start doing things, you’ll feel so much better.
You’ll be free from negativity and doubts. You’ll be much happier.
The
key to change your thought process it to read the bible and to allow yourself
to draw closer to The Lord.
We just started a new year. 2014. Turn
the page and start fresh. Instead of living in fear, you can begin by living
your life joyfully in Christ.
Don’t take negativity too seriously.
Focus more on the positive. Just live.
“You can’t always control your
circumstances, but you can control your reaction and responses to them.”
