Finally,Brethren, whatever things are  true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.

     Philippians 4:8

Everything you think about begins in the mind. Our thoughts shapes our character and conduct towards others. It molds our belief system. It encourages us to change our own reality towards righteous or unrighteous living. Who we are and the life we want to live is contingent on our thought process. When you meditate think on positive thoughts that will lead to life. Let your conduct give you peace instead of anxiety.

Concentrate on the things that will help you live according to God’s will. Character is who you are when no one is looking. It’s the decisions you make day to day. Your character influences your actions. We all have the power within us to choose positive thoughts and hold all negative thoughts captive.  Practicing this principle will push out the dark  thoughts and make more room for the light to shine forth in your life.

-Shakespeare

When Shakespeare wrote these words, he was talking about being false to the self.

Taking ownership

Many years ago, I had an interest in starting my own business. I’ve always defined myself as being optimistic, motivated, and one who is willing to take a chance to move forward. Besides coming up with some ideas on my own, I also tried working for an MLM company whose claim to fame was an opportunity to have a successful business selling their products. After a year of speaking to potential associates across the country in order to duplicate my efforts, I realized not everyone had the same level of commitment.

When Opportunity knocks

~ Patricia Fagan ~ Leave a comment

There are opportunities that show up in life on occasion. Be alert, seize the day and be prepared to take advantage of those missed possibilities. See God’s vision for a life full of abundance. Take charge and trust in God to point the way. Challenges will only light your way to truth and new found wisdom.

When opportunity knocks, open the door and invite it into your life. Take advantage of what is presented to you as a gift from God above.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to  you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. “

Matthew 7:7-8
