Where is your focus?

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.by Eleanor Roosevelt

How beautiful and true. We attract into our lives those things that we dwell upon. If our thoughts and energy is devoted to regret for action not taken, a road not traveled or the beating up of ourselves for that, then we dwell in a quagmire- stagnant and limiting as though quick sand pulling us under. If, however, we dwell on the future with joy and a dream before our eyes… we draw that to ourselves or conversely ourselves to the dream.

The Bible tells us “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)

Thinking otherwise does not prosper us. So today – I am grateful that I have a choice – and I choose to dream and to dwell on “such things.”
