How your thinking can affect you.

POSITIVE THINKING RELEASES THE POWER OF POTENTIAL.



People who think positively can see potential in even the most discouraging situations, while those who do not think positively are quick to point out the situations' problems and limitations.

One of the best stories that showed positive thinking releases the power of potential took place centuries ago.
God promised the people of Israel they would posses a rich land and fertile country known as Canaan. He didn't promise them its going to be easy, but he did promise them they would inhabit it- and when God makes a promise he keeps it.
The Israelite did send 12 men to go to Canaan to "spy out the land" and bring back a report. When they returned, 10 spies admitted that the land flowed with milk and honey but said the land was full of giants who would be impossible yo overcome, they allowed the presence of the giants to detract from the promises of God.

Joshua and Caleb brought back good reports, full of faith and confidence in God, and Caleb spoke up with confidence, saying, " Let us go up at once and possess it we are well able to conquer it"( numbers 13:30).The 10 spies thought the giants in the land were to big to kill, but Joshua and Caleb thought they were too big to miss. Joshua and Caleb were the only two men who were positive in the face of opposition from the giants.
" they didn't ignore the challenges, but they did not overemphasize them_ and they were the only two who entered the promise land."
The spies who died in the wilderness only saw what was and failed to see what could be. Their negative thinking produced defeatist attitudes.Being positive doesn't mean we deny the existence of difficulty; it means we believe God is greater than our difficulties. Train your brain to trust and believe God and to think positive thoughts that are based on HIS words.


So what am i saying? with a positive thinking you bring out that part of you that is full of potentials ready to be used.

Worrying

Release the Weight of Worry . It is one thing to know that we should not worry and its another thing to stop worrying. one of the things that helped me let go of worrying was that i finally realised how utterly useless it was getting worried over what won't change because i worried about it. The bible is full of sound proven advice about not worrying and dealing with worry. for example in Philippians 4;6 says be anxious for nothing, but in all circumstances to let our prayer requests be known to God with thanksgiving. Even down to verse 7, he then encourages us by saying that the peace of God will fill our hearts and minds. Thinking about it, how many problems have you solved by worrying? how much time have you spent worrying about things that never even happened? has anything ever gotten better as a result of your worrying about it? lets be sincere, NO .  The moment you begin to worry or feel anxious, give your concern to God_because it is normal to feel...
