Your Attitude Determines Your FutureWritten by Daniel N. Brown
Do you have a glad heart? Or, do you consistently worry? Do you realize you are creating your future by very attitude you posses? Take a look at Proverbs 15:15. The Amplified Bible says it this way, “All days of desponding afflicted are made evil (by anxious thoughts and foreboding), but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast (regardless of circumstances).” We have an “either - or” situation here. Have a glad heart and a continual feast, or have your days made evil by “stinking thinking.” It’s all an attitude. Your attitude is supported by your beliefs and your beliefs are vital to your success or failure in life. Jesus said, “As you have believed, let it be done unto you” (Matthew 8:13). Whatever emotion you experience at any given time is supported by a particular belief. If you are experiencing joy, there is an underlying belief that supports that emotion. If you are experiencing discouragement, there is an underlying belief supporting that too. If you know God is taking care of you and watching out for your best interest, then relax. Have a glad heart and know He is in control, for peace of God surpasses all understanding (Phil 4:7).
| | You Attract What You AreWritten by Daniel N. Brown
It's been said that, "To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract." Many people want some extrodinary things but thier self-image limits them on what they actually receive. A person cannot attract to themselves that which is greater than way they see themselves. For example, as long as you think and act like a smoker, you’re sure to keep smoking regardless of patches, hypnosis, drugs or other cures you may seek. The same goes whether your wanting to lose weight, find a mate, or find a more satisfying career. Until you begin to think and act like person who has things you desire you’ll never attract those things. People who have successful marriages don’t think and act way they do because they have successful marriages, they have successful marriages because they think and act that way. The same is true with people who have accumulated great wealth. They have wealth because they think and act that way. Many people work very hard and sacrifice a lot in an effort to create best life possible. But they are frustrated beyond belief and cannot understand why "life is so hard" or "why life continues to deal them such a poor hand."
