Living Positively
(Meditate on these and, if appropriate, incorporate them into your daily living)
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
“Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10Be realistic about life’s ups and downs but choose to focus on the positive aspects of your life.
Be positive and stimulating in your conversation with every person you meet.
Choose to see the good in all people, without being blind to their faults. Help them to know that they have worth.
Train yourself to look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade”
“Be joyful always; pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”. Thessalonians 5:16-18
Aim for excellence; think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
Be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future. “But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead..” Philippians 3:13
Infect others with joy; give every living creature you meet a smile.
“…the joy of the Lord is your strength” Nehemiah 8:10Concentrate on the improvement of yourself so that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
