What's On Your Mind?

"What you think upon grows. Whatever you allow to occupy your mind you magnify in your life. Whether the subject of your thought be good or bad, the law works and the condition grows. Any subject that you keep out of your mind tends to diminish in your life, because what you do not use atrophies. ---"

Emmet Fox from Make Your Life Worthwhile, 1942

  2. I've been hesitant to leave a comment on this one because, frankly, there's too much on my mind at the moment. It's a bit of a blur, to be honest, and I'm unable to pull one single thought out of the crowd. I think I need to slow things down, sort things out, make a list, and get some of this stuff off my mind. *whew*

  3. So very true. The Bible tells us to focus on everything lovely, everything true and that we are transformed by what we see. I don't remember specifically where that verse is, but Paul was the commentor.

  4. Yes! Yes! Yes! I can't agree more with this. This is the reason why I try to keep my thoughts positive . I also wear a necklace with a quote from Buddha that says: "What you think you become."
