It Will Be As Good As You Think It Will Be

Budda said “What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine you create.”

Romans 12:2 (NLT)
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

What you think you become? You know the guy, right? That one that never has much good to say about any situation or any person.

Have you ever noticed that you will walk across the street to avoid his negativity? Or do you stop and see him for your morning dose of negativity?

I know that I do my best to avoid negative thoughts and ideas. As a farm hand it is difficult because something seems to always be waiting to fall apart at the most inappropriate time.

- The cows find or make a hole in the fence
- The truck has a flat tire
- An oil line breaks and sprays oil all over the equipment

But then. . .

I remember that obstacles and circumstances happen for a reason. Find the good in that reason.
