Stay Positive

Main Scripture:  Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.  God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past. Ecclesiastes 5:18 -20 (NLT)

With everything that is happening around us, with the hard blows that life throws at us, we tend to focus on the negative instead of the positive. In this scripture however, King Solomon encourages us to accept our lot in life and enjoy what God has given to us.

In other words He is encouraging us to focus on the positive instead of focusing on the negative. Thinking positively does not mean that you should keep your head in the sand and ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you are to approach the unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. Instead of thinking the worst, think the best is going to happen.

In Romans 12:12 the Apostle Paul encourages us to “be joyful in hope.” Here he is encouraging us to hope for the best and to be happy while doing so.

Ladies thinking positively is something that you have to make up your mind to do. Start by asking God to give you a mind of contentment.

Secondly, surround yourself with positive influences – do not listen to negative talk, keep positive people around you, listen to good music (gospel, classical, jazz) and read positive books.

Thirdly, become a positive influence to others – start positive reinforcement, focus on the positive in your friends, co-workers, spouses and children instead of focusing on the negative. This will cause great improvements in your relationships and environment.
