HAVE A POSITIVE MINDSET


Living in a positive frame of live
Have a positive mindset

Our thought are so important, you cannot go round having negative thought and expect to live a positive life. Our life is going to follow our thought. So many people go through the day worrying, full of fear, focus on their problems, and never expect anything good. Unfortunately, they end up with what they think. We dwell in what we constantly think about.

Just like a magnet, if you always dwell on the negative, how bad your life is, how nothing is ever going to get any better, then you are going to attract just that. At the other hand if you learn to think thought of hope, faith, victory, dwelling on the fact that you are more than a conqueror, you can do all things though Christ; then you are going to attract good things of God.

We all have to do is to choose the kind of attitude we will have in our daily activities, most likely a hundred times a day, we have to make a choice whether we are going to stay in focus on the positive, see the good in any situation, stay hopeful, or we are going to go around dwelling on the negative and discourage thoughts that will pop into our mind.

This has become a major problem to some people. They want to be happy, they want things to change in their lives but their thinking is mess up with negative thought. Understand that God is a positive God; there is nothing negative about Him so if you are negative, you are going against the flow of God. It is like constantly swimming up streams when you are negative, everything is going to be a burden, and everything is going to be a straggle.

God is having a great plan for your life, He wants you to be happy, and He wants you to overcome any obstacles. If that will happen then you have to work your part and get in agreement with God. Most of us go through the day with this negative thought; we just think any thought that will pop up into our mind. We have to realize we can choose our thought,

If your thought is negative and discouraging, then you need to immediately get rid of it, if this negative thought comes into your mind and says; you are never going to get well, you heard what the doctor said, your child is never going to do right, and your dreams are never going to come to pass.
Again you don’t have to dwell on that junk, am challenging you today to get into the jet streams of God, stay positive, stay hopeful, and go out each day expecting good things.

Our life is like a car, we have a forward gear, the reverse gear, and a neutral in the middle, and we can choose which way we want to go. I found out that it doesn’t take any effort to go forward than it does when you go backwards. It is all in our decisions process. If you stay focus on the negative and what you can’t do, and what you don’t have, you are going to end up going reverse in life.

If you can just switch over to the positive and start seeing the best in any situation, start expecting good things, start dwelling on what God has said about you then all the forces of darkness can’t keep you from going forward, you will begin to make progress. But all this will start from your mind. Colossians 3:2 says; Set your affection on the higher.   

The higher things are the positive things, when you get up in the morning the first thing you should do is to set your mind in the right direction, set your mind for victory, set your mind for success, set your mind that you are going to enjoy this day no matter what comes your way. It is very important to do this, you have to do it right from the beginning, it’s because that’s what set your ton on your today.

Very often when you first wake up all kinds of negative, discouraging thought will pop out from your mind, when laying in bed; all kinds of nagging feelings comes, example: am not going to work, there are so many problems, how am I going to out from this sickness, today is going to be a bad day.
NO: don’t dwell on the junk thought; if you don’t set your option for your day then the enemy will do it for you.

When you get up you have to boldly declares that this is going to be a great day, am exciting about today, when you get up from bed get up with the confident, focus on your possibilities.
One man will get up and says Good morning Lord! And another will also get up and says ooh Lord its morning. Which one of these men are you? Get up in attitude of faith; you can program your mind for victory.

We can precondition our mind for success or for failure, we can precondition our mind to enjoy this day or just ride through this day, we can precondition our mind to overcome any obstacles or precondition to get upset when things don’t come our way. We need to program our mind and make plans to succeed.

You can give strength to your physical body by simply having the right attitude. Our thoughts are very powerful and sometimes your body will not get well unless your mind allow it.
What are you thinking about? What are you preconditioning your mind for?  Is it for success or for failure? To enjoy this day or to drag through this day?

It is not our circumstances that get us down; it is our thinking towards our circumstances. You can be in the mix of the most difficult trouble of your life but if you keep your thought running in the right direction, you can have peace right there in the mix of your storm. You will have joy no matter what comes against you

If you have the right attitude you can find good in any situation, it is going to be how you will choose to see it. For some reason, it maybe that you have been lay off work, you can easily get either upset being discourage, bitter and blame God or you can say this: Oh Lord I know when one door closes you will always open a better door so I’m exciting that I have better future. That is a positive attitude of faith, don’t be part of the people who always go round with a negative mentality.


 The Positive Farmer and the Negative farmer
There were these two farmers who live together, one has a positive mind and the other Negative mind.
Whenever its rains the positive farmer will say oh Lord thank you for the rain, how we don’t even have to water our crops. But the negative farmer will say yeah! But if it keeps raining it is going to spoil their roots, we are not going to harvest our crops, and we will never harvest our crops.
When the sun comes out the positive farmer will say father thank you for the sunshine, now our crops will get vitamins and minerals they really need. But the negative farmer will say if this keeps up it is going to scotch our crops and we are not going to make any living.
One day these two guys went fishing hunting together and this positive farmer has just bought a brand new bear dog. He was so proud of his dog and could not wait to show him off, when they were riding in the middle of the lake in a boat, sadly a bird came on the lake and the positive farmer shot the bird and turn to the negative farmer and said watch what this dog can do.
The dog jump out from the boat and miraculously run on top of the water, pick up the bird turn around run back on top of the water and set the bird perfectly in the boat. The positive farmer was so excited and asks the negative farmer what he thinks about the bird. The negative farmer shakes his head and said just like I thought, that dog can’t even swim.       

Friends please don’t let that be you, learn to focus on the positive, quit thinking about all the bad, quit seeing that everything is wrong. You have to choose to keep your mind on the higher level.  Some of us were raise in a negative environment, like the farmer we have been around with negative people and really that is all we know. We have seen the worse and we don’t expect anything good to happen, if you develop a habit of being negative then that will be a strong hold in your mind.

This is not the way God wants you to live; you need to get over into the jet stream of God. Retrain yourself to be positive, It may not be easy it may not happen overnight, but it can happen as you give your time to develop you self, the way it will happen is one thought at a time.
Get a glass of dirty water and start pouring clean water into the dirty water, allow the dirty water to flow over and over, at the end you will realize that the dirty water has turn into clean water, it is because you just pour more clean water into that same glass and the clean water has wash away all the dirty water.

When you dwell on God’s word and you start seeing best in every situation then little by little, one thought at a time you will develop a positive attitude. Program your thinking and mind. A negative mind will keep you from becoming all that God wants you to be, negative people always see a problem but positive people always sees the solutions. Learn to be positive; learn to be hopeful, many of our problems come from our thinking.
Think of positive thing, think of blessing somebody, and think of making progress in life, think of every good that will come your way.
