Positive thoughts

 " Every man (person) dies; but not everyone truly lives! "
     -  Wm. Wallace

Many people do not know what they seek; therefore do not recognize it or understand how to accept it when they find it!   This is because if they lived as their heart directed in stead of chasing after the elusive dreams put out by the world systems - their lives would be simple and sweet..

You are not shaped as much by your environment as by your perception of it.
Life's events do not determine who you are!  You do...

God has determined who you are and printed it upon your soul - but it is your interpretation of life's events that determine how you handle the pressures and problems in your life!    We have all been hard wired with special talents and abilities to be the person we could be...

We actually have very little control over emotions, but we can learn how to control our thoughts and actions...  Emotions are much like the nerves in the body - they act as an alarm to recognize a problem - but should not become the controlling element in our life.  Here is the key to keeping your personal life under positive control of you emotions and actions...

If you fill your mind with the Holy things which God has for your life -  then all the other things will fall into place...

Matt 6:33 -  Do Not Worry

…32 "For the Gentiles ( non believers) eagerly seek all these (worldly)  things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  
33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.  
34 "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Once you come to fill your mind with the positive truthful things of the Lord God Almighty - then you can progress through God inspired thought; which will see your life improved...

   ** But if you do not have faith and believe;  you can neither find or follow any of the God given Truth!

 Heb 11:5 - 6  :

 5  It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God.
 6  And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
