Do you believe?
Be it in God, yourself, your thoughts….
Do you?
As some of you know, I’ve been going through a lot of nonsense lately.
Fighting to stay focused and winning the battle.
I had started reading Joyce Meyer’s Power Thoughts book awhile back, then forgot about it…
til this past week, found it on my bookcase and decided it was time to re-read and finish it!
*disclaimer* If you want powerful strategies to win the battle of the mind, I strongly suggest buying “Power Thoughts” by Joyce Meyer!
This quote really stood out to me…
“Be content with what you have, refuse to focus on what you dont have, love others, stay hopeful concerning what you want & need” taken from Joyce Meyer’s Power Thoughts book.
I really needed to see that, and apply that…
I’ve been bummed because of being stuck living in this condo that I can’t stand, stuck not having gone on a vacation for over a year (ok that’s a huge deal for us, as Christa & I were used to going somewhere at least a few times a year and now nowhere in like 14 months!), aggravated because of finances (or lack thereof), annoyed over judgmental people affecting my ability to get work (read that as jealous insecure wives preventing their husbands from employing me), peeved at people who constantly want me to help them yet nobody’s around the seldom time I need help, and just all in all….frustrated.
But, after reading that line I realized I need to get my head outta my negative thoughts and get it together…
I will be content and grateful for this condo (yep even the nasty neighbors, loud noises, creatures in the attic, funky smells)…
I will not focus on the work I don’t have, but the jobs/gigs that I do have…
I will stay hopeful in the areas of getting a home I like, building my retreat, traveling and being content on the journey..yet striving for what I really desire and believing it’ll happen.
God doesn’t want to keep blessings from us, so figure I need to get my head, thoughts and actions in alignment for all this.
It’s like if you want to lose weight, you’re not going to do it stuffing your face & sitting around doing nothing.
Ditto with this situation…I have to stay focused, trusting and believing….
Question of the day
How do you stay focused and positive?
